I live in a large community of Sikh's and some Hindhu's. They have separate temples.

A lot of people for some reason say that they are the same... but they're not!
As the people before me stated, sikhism is a monothestic (belief in one God) religion, while Hinduism is polytheistic (belief in many Gods) and Sikhs and Hindus have different beliefs.

No a Sikh is a Sikh. Neither Hindu or Muslim but with a few surface characteristics of each. But Sikhism is unique.

Sikhs and Hindus both come from India, but they are two separate, very different religions.
Sikhs believe in one God, equality of all people.
Hindus believe in many gods, and practice the caste system.

Ignore the names and study the intentions with an open heart.

Sikhism actually branched off from Hinduism long ago, and both are in fact very similar but have their differences.

Not at all.
Sikhs are monotheistic.
