I know when I used to live in Punjab there were very few sikhs who dare to shave their beard and hair. They were full of sikhi. I missed those golden days. Whosoever were shaving used to be called Pattit. And I know it used to take months to come out from this shame. But now as the figures are coming up around 80% who have forsaken their sikhi swroop, this terms seems derogatory to them. As such they have now started predicting end of sikhi swroop, our guru gifted us even with price of their children.
