Sikhism developed into an independent religion. A new religion always produces a new nation. Guru Gobind Singh formalized the Sikhs as a distinct nation, vested it with an ever- ascending morale and inexhaustible energy and launched it into time towards the goal of sovereignty. The Guru taught his Sikhs that sovereignty is necessary for the progress of religion and people, divorced from religion, are always treaded down. Sikhism faced as much hostility from Hinduism as from Islam. Enmity between religions is natural and permanent. The law of “struggle for survival” applies to religions as well as living organisms. When a religion expands, expansion being a mode of survival, it encroaches on the territory of some other religion and then conflict is inevitable.
Brotherly coexistence between different religions is a myth. The preaching of brotherhood between religions is useful for the peace and stability of society. But it is only palliative. It rather plants confusion in the minds of people and disables them to understand and face reality.

Love of the path is very important .If you Don't love that Path and don't try preserve it then my friend It will vanish 50-100 years.By hook or crook Other Religions will assilimate it.
Tell me Dear lee How many lovely Paths to God were started in India.But unfortunately most of them assimilated in Hinduism or islam.Only sikhism and few others are able to make it to 21st century.And if today and tommorow's generation don't preserve it then it will meet the same fate what many other paths to god met |
Kanwardeep ji,
These words I find disturbing and not indicitive of the Sikhi I know, do you know who wrote them?
Not only do I find them disturbing but I can also spot some untruths there as well. People divorced from religoin are hardly trodden down, do you not think my freind?
Brotherly coexistance between differing faiths is not a myth. Now I have said that which is the complete opposite of that which you have posted (from worldsikhnews.com). Of course I cannot show that this opinion that I have uttered is true, but can you show me how what you have posted is any truer?
Whether Sikhi as a dharma disapears from the world I simply cannot say, so how can you claim that in 50-100 years it will be gone, assimilated by other religoins? Can you then see into the future?
My friend these words you speak stem from fear, you may fear that Sikhi may go, but isn't that all in the hands of God anyway?
Finaly please answer this if you would. What would it matter if there where no longer any Sikhs in 100 years time?
