<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->My personal opinion is that All Hindus in India should become Sikhs to better serve their motherland and to become better Hindus.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->I have moorthis and countless pictures of my Gods, and I must and will have them. Sometimes I think of Gods as many and sometimes think of God as one, and I have the freedom to do so. Now I think of it, I realise I'm exactly the kind of Hindu that the christoislamic scriptures rail against: 'the polytheistic idolatrous heathen infidel'. (If the salamis had made it to Korea and Japan they'd have found ultra-'infidels' there too, of course.)
I love the Vedas, Puranas and legitimate untampered parts of Hindu scripture (the bits I might not approve of I am free to reject). This body of knowledge cannot be traded in for only-Sikh scripture. I respect the Sikh Gurus, but among the ancient to more recent Hindus I find many teachers who are more important to me.
I can serve my motherland best as a Hindu. I am happiest as a Hindu. I will not be a better Hindu as a Sikh - though others may. Everyone makes their own choice. It's entirely up to them.
In fact, as you can see, in my particular case, Sikhism could not be among my immediate next choices. Rather, Shinto, because it has many Gods and encourages images of Gods, would be one of my first alternatives if I could not be a Hindu.
Others could well have different preferences for their first alternative religious choices, and in this way Sikhism might be favoured by some Hindus.
This bit for Bharatvarsh:
The only reason some Hindus think that Sikhs were the only sword-arm in India is because of communist historians carefully concealing how Hindus stood up to invaders from the Greeks down to the Brits. By far most of the defenders of Dharma and Bharat have only ever been regular Hindus (which is natural, because most of the Indian population has always been Hindu). There's been countless Kshatriyas since ancient times, fighting bravely to protect their Hindu people, country and civilisation. By far most of them have been completely ignored by their Eminencies. Communist historians either have no idea who most of them were - like the Shaivite Shahiya dynasty - or would hate them if they did.
