Jains:
For the 1st time, I, ever, came to know that Jains are different, was when SC refused to declare them minority.
Recently, Gujrat Govt has included them amongst Hindus (incidentally that includes Budhists also) and my guess is that they can't prove themselves as not being Hindus. At the best, u can call them a sect of Hinduism who don't believe in reincarnation. And let me tell u point blank that I, too, don't believe in reincarnation.
Sikhs:
The only period when Sikhism went astray was during extremism of '80s. And that too was misled by foreign sikhs. As many of u might be aware that Prez of SGPC is:
VEDANTI
Otherwise Sikhism's foundation is known as:
Hindu Dharam di rakhia layi Sikh Dharam banaya.
