Yes, that is so true rooh, have you ever seen any recent bhangra videos? Some of then are very disgusting - big khandas for "bling-bling" (like sikhi is now a glamour item), always a benz and big house (all sikhs must live up to this standard?), and alchahol and girls? Is this what sikh youth think waht sikhi is about? No, but these so-called idols are trying to teach others that that is the case

Back to topic, the youth and how the act often reflects the parents. The parents and youth all together can refelct the state of the religion. The picture isnt very good right now. And unless change is achieved in one form or another, sikhi is in for some dark days.

But waheguru will guide the true sikhs and the sikhs who desire to learn more, who said the situation is hopeess?
