Were the chakram's only used by the Sikhs?

Hi Jens
"Killing two rabits with the same shot" ... or trying to answer both questions with the same source.

Did you know that the chakra is also called a quoit? ... but was the way they were thrown really so different in the different parts of the country?

Here you will find, besides some info on its origins, a certain typology differentiating chakram from quoit, as well as mentioning three different ways of throwing this weapon.

Before reading this, i thaught that twirling them was a bit of a fantasy.
I also thaught that quoit was the western name for chakram.
