Sikhism today, in relation to Hinduism

Today, The Sikhs are a house divided. In Three. While a great number of them have a natural affinity for the Hindus whose first born were raised as the Khalsa to protect the Hindus from the Moslems, many have taken the more extreme view born from the Akali movement that the British Indian Political Service started at Sialkot (1921 - "Divide to Rule") by means of an Englishman converted to Sikhism who greatly influenced Karag Singh and Kartar Singh.

The Akali movement borrows a great deal from Islam, including ideas of iconoclasm and the notion of a "Nation" while repudiating Hinduism. (They moved  the Maa Bhawani that Guru Govind Singh worshiped out of Harmandir Saheb to the Durgiani Mandir and renamed Guru Arjun Singh as Guru ArjAn Singh. They also removed the Surya Narayana that Guru Nanak (a Bedi) worshipped after whom the Hari (Narayana) Mandir was originally named.

The Third faction finds far great affinity with the British Commonwealth as, after the Sikh wars, seeing the military value of the Sikhs, the British took the Sikh Army into the British Indian Army and in 1857, used them, along with the Pathans and the Mdrassis, to execute the remnants of the Bengal Native Infantry and to massacre the Brahmins (Man, Woman and Child) of the Bengal Presidency which they did (though Guru Nanak was, himself, born a Brahmin to Bedi parents) Thereafter, apart from dedicated Sikh Regiments, the Sikhs were recruited and deployed in the middle rungs of the British Colonial Police Service through out the Empire, just as Eurasians were within India)

Guru Nanak word hipped the idol of Surya Narayana. Guru Govind Singh who forged the Khalsa from the Sikhs worshiped Bhavani. Ranjeet Singh's War Banner carried Chandi, Karthikeya and Hanuman.

It was the British Political Service that infiltrated the Khalsa at Sialkot through a British "convert" to Sikhism and influenced Kartar Singh and Karag Singh to start the Akali Movement in 1921 that moved Sikhism cloiser to Islam and against the People of Dharma who had given their first born to the Khalsa to eradicate Islam and so protect themselves.

The Sikhs were the army of the People of Dharma before they became an Army of the British.

Until the death of Maharaja Ranjit singh and taking over by the British..there was not distinction between sikhs and Hindus...both were considered one

There was no controversy on Bachitar Natak...it was accepted as a part of Gurugranth...
Like other gurus who contributed to GuruGranth...Bachitar Natak was considered as contribution of GuruGobind Singh......a Dasham Granth..or last granth

compositions from this book like Chandi di vaar have been recited by Nihangs till date...

The first stanza of Chandi di Var forms the introductory part of the Ardas, the Sikh prayer. Guru Sahib used the Ballad to explain the priciples of Gurumat

All these controversy started to come out only after British took over Punjab and after British infiltration...

After during and after independence movement the Sikh scholars under the influence of Britishs convert started "clensing" of Hindu influences from sikhism and creating separate identity of sikhs

It was and excercise to accept anything in sikh fold if it was anti-Hindu or non-Hindu... They even used such comments in almost al the cases.. I have even seen some Rahet Maryadas mentioning that this is Hindu practice hence not to be followed...

Similarly...They even started questioning some of the compositions in Dasham Granth because they were too very Hinduistic and challanged the seperate identity of crypto and Khalistani sikhs of today...some groups started cherry picking some stuff from the book and some rejected entire book as a conspiracy
