Guru Nanak (1469–1538), founder of Sikhism, was born to Kalu Mehta
(Hindu father) and Mata Tripta (Hindu mother), in a Hindu family in the
village of Talwandi, now called Nankana Sahib, near Lahore.
His father, a Hindu named Mehta Kalu, was a Patwari, an accountant of land revenue in the government. Nanak's mother was Mata Tripta, and he had one older sister, Bibi Nanki.
Even as a boy, Nanak was fascinated by Hindu religion, and his desire to explore the mysteries of Hinduism eventually led him to leave home. It was during this period that Nanak was said to have met Kabir (1440–1518), a saint revered by many. Nanak married Sulakhni, daughter of Moolchand Chona, a trader from Batala, and they had two sons, Sri Chand and Lakshmi Das. (Both names are Hindu)

His brother-in-law, Jai Ram (Also a Hindu), the husband of his sister
Nanki, obtained a job for him in Sultanpur as the manager of the
government granary. One morning, when he was twenty-eight, Guru Nanak
Dev went as usual down to the river to bathe and meditate. It was said
that he was gone for three days.
When he reappeared, his first words after his re-emergence were: "There is no Hindu, there is no Muslim". With this secular principle he began his missionary work. He made four distinct major journeys, in the four different directions, which are called Udasis, spanning many thousands of kilometres, preaching the message of God.
Guru Nanak spent the final years of his life in Kartarpur where Langar free blessed food was available.
Guru Nanak worked in the fields and earned his livelihood. After appointing Bhai Lehna as the new Sikh Guru, on 22 September 1539, aged 70, Guru Nanak met with his demise.

Dear Firneds:-
Hence, it is crystal clear that Guru Nanakji was originally a Hindu and hence all Sikhs were originally Hindus.
Another point to be considered here is that there was no Hindu-hatred behind the founding of Sikhism in Hindustan.
Then where has this hatred come from ?
What we should understand here is that the politicians play their dirty political games and it is we common people who keep fighting among ourselves and ultimately it is 'us' who suffer.
These politicians sit comfortably in their homes and enjoy our infighting, while they themselves keep eating chicken-biryanies in their homes.
Therefore we should stop this infighting and stop dancing to the tunes of the politicians and should not fall prey to these dirty political games. Making issues like this is nothing but 'Divide and Rule' policy of these politicians.
