Can you tell the difference between a Hindu and a Muslim and a Sikh when you see one??

Answer 1

Well, Sikh men have beards and generally wear turbans. Unless they don't observe that part of the religion.

If they have a mark on their forehead, they are probably Hindus.

Some Muslim women at least wear something to cover their hair, some cover their faces, and some Muslim women don't do either one. Some Muslim men wear a head covering but not every Muslim man does this.

I can't tell what religion anybody is other than that unless they are wearing certain clothing or religious symbols on jewelry, etc. If they are dressed like everybody else there is no way to tell.

My wife is a Hindu but she doesn't wear the dot (tika) except for certain religious events and doesn't wear traditional clothes except at temple.

Answer 2

Only if they're orthodox members of their religion.

A Hindu woman might wear a marriage dot on her forehead. A Muslim man might wear traditional cap and a woman a head scarf or veil. Sikhs usually sport turbans and don't cut their hair.

But again, that only goes for the religious. You won't be able to tell the difference between Westernized, nonreligious members of these religions. Example, they'll all look Indian if they all come from India.

Answer 3

yes. a sikh man will wear a turban (usually), and a musliom woman will always wear a scarf (usually), and hindu men and women usually have a bindi on (a red or decorative marking on their forehead). otherwise the only way to know the difference is to be able to distinguish people based on their features. but this is usually something you have to grow up with.

Answer 4

sikh men wear turbans. muslim men have a small round head covering and women wear a hajib .sometimes hindu women wear a red dot on forehead.

Answer 5

Ummm ... nope. Also can't tell the difference between a Catholic, a Jew, or just about any other denomination, except the Hari Krishna. The saffron robes and flowers for sale are a dead give-away.

Answer 6

Yes. I also know ever Sikh is a Singh, but not every Singh is a Sikh.

Answer 7

Sikh men wear turban and you can spot them wearing a silver bangle around their wrist.

Most Muslim men I see, have beard nad they wear a white cap like thing on their head.

Most Hindu men I see have holy ash on their foreheads.

Answer 8

No. Because to tell the difference between things you need to see TWO of them.

Answer 9

No. I am west Indian and people constantly ask me if I am Hispanic, East Indian or Arabic.

Answer 10

Honestly no, but I odnt think it really matters unles i'm trying not to insult his culture, but then again it's hard for me to tell any race apart.
