Last year, my hindu neighbor passed away (in USA); and they had bhagwadgeeta paath for a week or so. (Original Text plus meanings in English). Since, I was the most proficient sanskrit reader, I got to do the most paath. For the first time, I got to read bhagwadgeeta completely. I would say that other than last few chapters, most of the content agrees with Guru Granth Sahib.
One thing I would like to point is that
Hinduism is "Open" (for a better word). It includes different and even mutually exclusive philosophies, and most hindus are at peace with this. Thats exactly the reason why new philosophies (and religion) could emerge in India and not in Arabia or Europe.
However, Sikhism is very well defined. Its like a school - with a uniform (Kesh, turban and other 5 Ks). There is an admission process ( Amrit ceremony) and there is a Text Book (Guru Granth Sahib). So THIS is sikhism and nothing else. The founder Guru Gobind Singh made the rules, set-up a uniform and a text book. (He himself requested Panj Pyaares to admit him to his own school)
These rules can't be changed. Now, like in any school, some students don't follow the rules. That doesn't mean the rules of the school are now different.
And if two people says two different things about rules, we just check the textbook, and verify who is right.
Because of these inherent differences in "structure" of hinduism and sikhism, even some well-meaning hindus don't understand some sikhs' insistence on "sikh rules". I hope you see my point now.
Again, I never say "My religion is better than yours". It is the most stupid thing coming from anybody. As vivekanand said - "We all are going towards God at our own pace, stumbling and again trying" (not the exact quote, but similar)
