Guest guest Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Dear friends, In fact, Sikh is a sect under Hinduism and not a separate religion. Same is the case for Jainism. I have seen families where one brother is Sikh and the other one is Hindu. Politics and politicians play worst games in our society. Sikhs and Jains were given the status of separate religion only for political purpose.
