I do agree with you, i raised an issue similiar to this before with family and i was told that i was more confused about sikhism!! Anyway, it is surprising..alot i would say comes down to parents, as if they dont know nothing then what will they teach because they havent themselves been shown the right path or taken the initiative to find out about sikhism. For example, why do the younger generation jump at the chance of going to the cinemas, clubbin, family dos..most of the time with their parents or with their consent but when it comes to going to the gurudwara or doing seva etc they remember they have loads of homework to do??! then the parents dont seem to do anything bout it, because they are not encouraging them. I mean who teaches us to go to the cinema, keep upto date with whats happening in town...what shows and events are on...WE DO. So basically, part of it does come to down to the individuals and them being aware of this and some due to parents. Like they say in panjabi 'seva kise de kain teh nahin kithi jaandi' So i reckon the younger generation should show bit more interest in their roots and religion and parents should also encourage their kids on this side. Mostly nowadays in most gurudaware they are promoting the sikh culture, learn panjabi, harmonium, tabla ..sikh history even internet websites..but how many people actually go ..or how many parents say to their kids to go. I mean they have time to go gym, summer school etc etc so they should involve this too...so the younger lot shouldnt complain that nothing is being done for them!
