What are your suggestions on the issue of "Women are not allowed to do Kirtan at Darbaar Sahib, Amritsar".
Ans: I am women I also do Kirtan but I am very happy with the decision, What will happened just in case or by accidently some one touches the women!
You have seen the Sangat in Amritsar how it is I think I do not need to say more
I have seen a lot of women being mistreated in Sikh(Gurdwara going and AmritDhari) Families. I personally helped quite a few of them, one recent case that I had was of a PHD girl from India, being treated like a slave by her husband and her in-laws for last fifteen years and she eventually had to end up in a shelter, even her parents and brothers did not bother(living in India). What are your thoughts about this.
Ans:
First of all PHD, when she was married to this person her or his Partner has equal study?
In Canada or USA, women’s has more power than Men’s
Only Low thinking families does that to there Daughter in Laws
In Gurudwara’s I have 35 years Experience going there if you are strong well educated in Sikhi No one can be bully with you But I do agree on one thing if you are not a Jatt than they might look at your differently
If we treat women equally, why this is happening?
I know we have few families where women are respected equally, but it is very rare.
Ans: Atleast you agreed on some points
It really feels awkward when I see a very well educated sikh girl, financially independent; scared to do anything on her own, scared to make a descision entirely involving her, scared to have a baby girl. | Guru Nanak says: pavan guroo paanee pithaa maathaa dhharath mehath ||
