sat sri akaal jio! reading this post reminded me of the line in gurbani "khoob teri pagri mithe tere bol". the turban is not a sikh invention so we cannot just claim it is beadbi for a clean shaven/trimmed sikh or non sikh to wear one. as for Bollywood, well it seems we can't win. just last year we sikhs were rightly protesting the negative images of sikhs portrayed in films and internet (sardar jokes/backward / comedien types in films) ok this year we have 2 films with a more positive role for an actor playing a sikh. Breaking and damaging property in the name of religion while wering bana is not the guru's way neither is bombing cinema's. It is the actions of the person wearing the pagri that define beadbi of our image not his / her looks.

Re: Is It 'Beadbi' If A Clean-Shaven Guy Wears A Pag (Turban Worn Sikh-Style)?

thank you both bhai randip ji and bhai bhagatsinghdaveer ji...yes we should react to showing us sikhs as stupid...i get agitated too...and i think things have gone beyond control..if we dont show our agitation we are taken for granted...I am coming up with a presentation soon...
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=23504

Nadir Shah raided Delhi in the year 1739

and looted Hindustan and was carrying lot of Hindustan treasures and

nearly 2200 Hindu women along with him. The news spread like a fire
and

was heard by Sardar Jassa Singh who was the Commander of the Sikh army

at that time. He decided to attack Nadir Shah's Kafila on

the same midnight . He did so and rescued all the Hindu

women and they were safely sent to their homes.



It didn't happen only once but thereafter whenever

any Abdaalis or Iranis had attacked and looted

Hindustan and were trying to carry the treasures and
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=23504

Hindu women along with them for selling them in Abdal

markets, the Sikh army although fewer in numbers but

were brave hearted and attacked them at midnight ,12

O'clock and rescued women.



After that time when there occurred a similar

incidence, people started to contact the Sikh army for

their help and Sikhs used to attack the raider's at

Midnight, 12 O'clock. Nowadays, these "smart people"

and some Sikh enemies who are afraid of Sikhs, have

spread these words that at 12 O'clock, the Sikhs go

out of their senses. This historic fact was the reason

which made me smile over that person as I thought that

his Mother or Sister would be in trouble and wants my

help and was reminding me by saying off 'Sardarji

Bhagatsinghdaveer ji

You are describing exactly the contradictions in messages about Sikhs and Sikhi that continually baffle me. I am not offended. Funny how no one typically asks whether bombing cinemas and breaking store windows is beadbi.

Is it beadbi to react to insults and allegations heaped upon our country and its majority ?? I dont think so...and i feel if this is Beadbi..then i m proud to do it ...and shall repeat

there is a saying in Mumbai style Hindi..Tum Karo to Chamatkar ..Hum Kare to Balaatkaar (translated....what you do is a Miracle...and what we do is rape...i cant get a good word to sound it rhyming as in hindi)

rajkhalsa ji

The discussion has been so far about the photograph below and the actions of fanatical groups. What are you asking?

Thank you amarsanghera ji for bring up awareness.

Turbans are also worn by muslims. But they do not keep unshorn hair.
Turban is not part of the 5Ks.
