Its said that Hindus Muslims cant coexist .Sikhism has common points from both Hinduism Islam .Absolute Hinduism Islam would find it difficult as they are apart poles each other .Have Sikhs saved Indian nation integration by acting as buffers ??
Sorry what a crock. I as a Muslim coexist with Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, Atheist, Catholics etc etc perfectly happily. No ''buffer'' need at all thank...
I support Jagjit Singh's answer. Hindus and muslims can not go each others religious place but both of them come to Guruduara and seek blessings of Guru Sahib and enlighten themselves. A few months back a Sikh boy was murdered by a Hindu Mahant in UP who went to his place for shelter and from his name Iqbal Mahant misunderstood him as Muslim. In Guru Granth Sahib both Hindu and muslim saints have found place. Have Sikhism saved Indian Nation Integration. Answer is yes. Whole of North India and Pakistan was part of Afghanistan which came out of it because of Sikhs. Marathas were lost and destroyed during battle of Panipat. Sikhs contribution during wars with Pakistan are visible from Pakistani war writers views(enemy side).
I think that Hindus and Muslims can coexist perfectly well. I have friends who are Muslims, Sikhs and Hindus and we all just get along perfectly well and no one acts as buffers to integration.
You are right to say Sikhism is a fusion of Hinduism and Islam but, no, I think Muslims and Hindus can co-exist despite their religious differences. Muslims and Hindus are intelligent people and are capable of respecting each other, well execpt for a handful of religious extremists on both sides.
