Sikhism is different from Hinduism primarily because it is monotheistic whereas Hinduism is pluralistic. Sikhs generally reject the idea of a pantheon. While the caste system is recognized in Sikh society, Sikhs often reject it as a means of determining social position, instead asserting that all casts are equal (or in some cases that there are no castes). Additionally, Sikhs reject idol worship and ritual (excluding meditation) while many Hindus feverishly incorporate such elements into their worship. Here's a good wiki article with some relevant links.
