Majority Sikhs descend from Hinduism so are still practising that within Sikhism (as well as converts to Christianity and Islam).

Sikhism forbids the Caste System it is not allowed. Sikhs take the surnames singhs and kaur and acclaim descent from Guru Gobind Singh ji.

Guru Gobind singh ji writes "Manas ki jaat sabhe ek pachino" - "Recognise the caste of humanity as one and the same"

What is the meaning of the word Singh?

It means "lion" and it was introduced by the Sikh Gurus to eradicate the practice of casteism, though today castes and discrimination based on castes still exists amongst Sikhs. All Sikhs were encouraged to accept Singh as their last name, though not all Singhs are Sikhs. People belonging to the Rajput and some other communities also use Singh as their last name.
