Of all the religions of the world, Sikhism is the youngest and perhaps the most misinterpreted. For the last hundred years or so, different religions have tried their best to prove that Sikhism is not a self-contained religion but a synthesis of other religions. Sometimes such claims result in ridiculous situations. Islam and Hinduism have nothing much in common and yet both, from time to time, have claimed Sikhism to be a branch of their respective religions. Obviously Sikhism cannot be a branch of two fundamentally opposing religions. Recently some Christians have claimed Sikhism to be based on Christian principles.
This book comprehensively analyzes the teachings and differences in the nature of Sikhism and Hinduism.
