Re: I was talking to a Sikh........
yes, and i was really surprised once i came to know this, because all i see in Indian movies is that going to some temple and ringing a bell in front of some diety with multiple hands or other organs gets the job done.
These days a lot of hinuds i meet are having beliefs somewhat similar to what you have, They are renouncing their own dieties and either turning athiests believing in economics & nature or they say that God is some thing over and above religions etc etc. They have a right to have their view and no comments offered from my side, but i was trying to tell is that this is a very solid impression amongst Muslims that Hinudus worship dieties and are vegetarians etc etc
You are singh & not sikh so are you jaat, i am asking because most of the Pakistanis think that sikhs are singhs and i assumed any indian with a surname singh to be sikh until i was corrected by one jaat friend of mine who was a singh but not a sikh (or khalsaa)
