Two distinct ethnic groups! Please read up on the history of Sikhism. Sikhs are Indian - mostly Punjabi Indians. Sikhism is a religion and not a separate ethnic group. The Brits used the Sikhs to divide and continue to rule India by playing the well-known martial abilities of the Sikhs against the Hindus. Sikhs are Indian. There simply is no such thing as a Sikh ethnic group.

Just FYI :-).

Re: “Sikhs Are Indian”

Thanks for the correction.

I chose the word “ethnic” because it is essentially very broad and neutral.

Among other things, it means “sharing a distinctive religion” or “part of a group that is a minority within a larger society.”
