To Gyani Jarnail Singh and VaheguruSeekr.
Many of us have been giving our troubled young friend, Saint Soldier, some - hopefully - Good Advice, regarding Angst, the Illusion of Success, etc., over on the 'Our 4 Days in Maya' thread - which seems more appropriate, as this young fella' has been blinded by a Light that has more to do with Neon Advertising, than The Lord!

I think the Sikh Religion is only a minority in relative terms. From my understanding, there are over 80 million Sikhs throughout the world. Compared to India's population of about one billion, that is a fairly small number. However, compared to the Roman Catholic Religion which has about 900.000,000, the Sikh religion is almost 10% as large. |

In today’s world, for a recognition, it depends who beats the drum loud, Christians and Jews are part of American culture for centuries, Muslims got heard regardless the way they did it, Hindus have a country beating its drums only in favor of one religion. Poor Sikhs, Buddhists and other people of other faith just have to endure this drama of show off louder drums because I believe if a few more words were added in the speech it would have added only a second in the given time of speech of President Obama, the guy failed to even say “and other faiths” while talking about faiths. Even if he did what would have changed? We have been living without recognition for centuries; we would in the future too. It is better not to chase the illusions of names. Only important thing is how he deals with the problem our world community faced with. I wish him good luck though I didn’t vote for him!!!! |

The timing of Obamas election is critical to his speach. It was after the bombay blast. |
