"However there is a minority of Sikhs who do consider themselves as Hindus.
We should not disown them."
A tiny minority and I did not say anything about disowning them, if they consider themselves as Hindus i have no problem but our position regarding Sikhs as a community should be neutral, we should neither help them nor harm them. We have enough problems among ourselves so first we should unite all Hindus instead of begging Sikhs to be Hindus (which will only increase sikh separatism).
Some Hindus seem to get carried away by reading some Dasam Granth and finding stories about Hindu Avatars there but Guru Govind makes it clear that he does not consider the avatars to be God, if anyone has any doubts they should read this from the Dasam Granth:

I have searched for the quote "sakala jagat mein Khalsa panth gaje
jage dharma Hindu sakala bhanda bhajee" in that Dasam Granth but could not find it, it could be censored in that granth since its an uncomfortable quote but so far not one Hindu has shown me where they get that quote from.
