DENFINETLY NOT
Sikhs are as distinct from Hindus as Moslems are from buddists
The hindus in india are so scared of pakistan they are doing everything to hold on to the sikhs especialy trying to imprison sikhism into the folds of hinduism.
When there is no tension between pakistan and india , hindus tend to make jokes about sikhs and mock them in thier media
In times of war it is the Sikhs that are sent to the front lines to shed blood For India
During 17th Century, when Hindustan was ruled by Mughals, all the Hindu people were humiliated and were treated like animals. Mughals treated the Hindu women as there own property and were forcing all Hindus to accept Islam and even used to kill the people if they were refusing to accept. That time, our ninth Guru, Sri Guru Teg Bhadarji came forward, in response to a request of some Kashmir Pandits to fight against all these cruel activities.
Guruji told the Mughal emperor that if he could succeed in converting him to Islam, all the Hindus would accept the same. But, if he failed, he should stop all those activities . The Mughal emperor happily agreed to that but even after lots of torture to Guruji and his fellow members he failed to convert him to Islam and Guruji along with his other four fellow members, were tortured and sacrificed their lives in Chandni Chowk. Since the Mughals were unable to convert them to Islam they were assassinated.
Thus Guruji sacrificed his life for the protection of Hindu religion. Can anybody lay down his life and that too for the protection of another religion? This is the reason he is still remembered as "Hind Ki Chaddar", shield of India. For the sake of whom he had sacrificed his life, none of the them came forward to lift his body, fearing that they would also be assassinated.
Seeing this incident our 10th Guruji, Sri Guru Gobind Singh ji (Son of Guru Teg Bahadarji) made a resolution that he would convert his followers to such human beings who would not be able to hide themselves and could be easily located in thousands.
At the start, the Sikhs were very few in numbers as they were fighting against the Mughal emperors. At that time, Nadir Shah raided Delhi in the year 1739 and looted Hindustan and was carrying lot of Hindustan treasures and nearly 2200 Hindu women along with him. The news spread like a fire and was heard by Sardar Jassa Singh who was the Commander of the Sikh army at that time . He decided to attack Nadir Shah's Kafila on the same midnight.
He did so and rescued all the Hindu women and they were safely sent to their homes. It didn't happen only once but thereafter whenever any Abdaalis or Iranis had attacked and looted Hindustan and were trying to carry the treasures and Hindu women along with them for selling them in Abdal markets, the Sikh army although fewer in numbers but were brave hearted and attacked them at midnight,12 O'clock and rescued women.

they don't hate they stay in peace and unity. Riots got here about in 1984 because of Sikh extremist Bhindranwala (died in 80 4) and some Hindu politicians and extremists and they don't like one yet another yet there is easily no difficulty between time-honored Hindus and Sikhs.

Sikhs are not Hindus, they are like Buddhist, whose ancestors were Hindu.

Sikhism is a sect of Hinduism, although they are so violently opposed to each other you’d' have to look at the Shia/Sufi/Sunni rift in Islam to find any two groups of the same religion so diametrically opposed.
