Sikhs Are Small in Numbers. But Are Sikhs Most Divided by Caste?

What a mis-leading "Thread Title". Sikhs don't have castes they have clans/creeds. There is a huge difference. Clans are respectful of their cultural heritage (language, social networking, common interests in life subjects) and lifestyles more than anything else. They may get a superiority complex but that goes with the territory as soon as more than one person creates a group. No group will say they are mee too and will justify their qualities while showing deficiencies of others.

It is a basic need in Humans to associate. The most favorable associations are where they don't have to make many assumptions and are not in a "la La Land" of unknowns. Say you and I may belong to different Clans and our thoughts and dealings may be different as a result. Hypothetically I may have a superiority complex (condascending write-ups focussing on commonalities) and you may have an inferiority complex (defensive write-ups focusing on differences) and vice versa.

Sikhism teaches us that "each one is unique and same" at the same time. One cannot have a better guiding concept as a guiding light.

Sat Sri Akal.

What i was trying to say was reply to your question that What caste is doing in west.May be in west people become insecure about their identity whether it is Religious or caste based so that could be one of the reason they choose to become castist.It is just What I am assuming may me I am wrong.

Singh, why are you apologizing for a Hindu created system?

I see where you have taken this and that is to clan/creed level, in other words Hindu stock vs non-hindu stock

"Sikhs don't have castes they have clans/creeds"

Ummm, if you say so......

"so called division"

What do you mean so called division, its really does exist and no I do not have a chip on my shoulder but as you may realisie that you may bring up your children and show them that all are equally in Sikhi but within Sikhi we are divided because of caste, you end up shooting yourself in the foot

Its almost better to not play by the rules and play dirty yourself
