Indian Sikhs tend to focus more or Punjab cultural issues than on the Siri Guru Granth Sahib Ji (the Sikh Holy text) or the teachings of it's founder Guru Nanak Dev Ji. This is a misstep than some new (western) students also make. There are a lot of issues as to who is or can be considered a Sikh. These issues are divisive and are not in the same spirit as the teachings of the Gurus.
Guru Nanak says in Japji Sahib: "Accept all humans as your equals, and let them be your only sect" (Japji 28)
