Detailed explanation-1: -Sikhism developed in South Asia in a context of interactions between Hinduism and Islam. Islam blended with local cultures in Southeast Asia as well. The prophet Mohammed showed up as a character in Hindu epics and local folklore.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sikhs are willing to fight for justice as long as the intention is peaceful. They accept that violence can and does happen, but it should always be a last resort-“When all other methods have failed it is permissible to draw the sword.”
Detailed explanation-3: -Historically, Sikhs were seen as the protectors of Hindus, among others, and were even considered by some right-wing Hindu political organizations like the RSS as the “sword arm” of Hinduism. This status as protectors of Hindus was strong enough that Punjabi Hindus would sometimes raise their eldest son as a Sikh.
