Re: “Sikhs Are Indian”

Thanks for the correction.

I chose the word “ethnic” because it is essentially very broad and neutral.

Among other things, it means “sharing a distinctive religion” or “part of a group that is a minority within a larger society.”

I know. The British colonialist used them as an ethnic group to help keep the British in power. Many people think they are ethnically different than their fellow Indians but they are not. Many Sikhs do have the ethnic, we are different, mentality as well, so you really were not that far off.
