There is a weird stereotype that 'sardars' are stupid. Dumb. Most people living in punjab had sikh ancestors, ironically.
and Professor Abdul Jaleel.,
A Muslim by birth but follows Ahmadiyya/Qadiani Islam says It is commonly understood as a compromise between the teachings of Hinduism and Islam. But a careful study of Sikh traditions and relics of Sikhism lead to an irrefutable conclusion that Guru Nanak discarded the Hindu doctrines and assimilated the teachings of Islam to such an extent that Sikhism, in its pristine form, can be looked upon as a sect of Islam.
The elasticity of Hinduism makes it difficult to draw a line, crossing which a man ceases to be a Hindu.....................
..............The whole history of Sikhism shows that its founder, though born a Hindu, mixed with Muslims, joined in their prayers and performed other Islamic obligations, all in public. .........

But I am sure there were plenty Muslims in subcontinent before the year 1500.. So
shilakijawani ... I have to agree to disagree with you
