<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->There is a lot of other material, Hindus have not dealt with many of these things and as far as I am concerned it is futile to argue for a Hindu identity for Sikhs since they don't want to be labelled as such<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

There may be more material to prove that none of the Sikh Gurus wanted to really start a new religion...

Anyway, point is.... is Sikhism a part of Hinduism???The answer would be 'yes'...but having said this, do some or let's say even most(not all) Sikhs see themselves as Hindus as of today??? Maybe not.

Bharatvarsh, I wanted to ask you a question, would you also say 'as far as I am concerned it is futile to argue for a Hindu identity for Buddhists, Jains, Dalilts or for that matter maybe even SC/STs etc since they don't want to be labelled as such?

If this is so, what according to you then is the actual percentage of Hindus in India?
