"There is a long standing thread of enmity between Sikhs and Hindus. (Hindus destroyed the Golden Temple of Amritsar, the holiest shrine of Sikhism back in the 80's.) "
Hindus did no such thing. Pl dont spread false ideas.

There is a somewhat antiquated hindu-sikh animousity, but for the most part it has died down.
The roots go back to partition of indian sub continent, when disproportionately more sikh lost property in west punjab.
It also had to do w/ the congress party of India's temporary support of bhindrawale (and now seen as moderate
tohra).
And not to forget tha jansanghi(BJP) and kushwant singh like
(formerly west punjabi's) demand of another state.
Punjab included Himachal,Aryan also.
So its a complicated plot...
