People are not born with turbans on their heads. This is cultural. You are deviating from the real meaning of being a Sikh, which should be embodies in the way you conduct your life, not in what you wear. Are you telling us that people who don't cover their heads are not good sikhs. How are...

As for inculcating respect by covering your head. Respect should come from within and should be reflected in one's daily actions, not just by a covering. Its a pity that most Sikhs aren't so rigid about really respecting the message of the Gurus.

. As a British citizen, there is no such epidemic. Sikh girls in this country are more educated and independent, and generally dislike the strictures imposed by Islam. In fact many Sikhs wants to disassociate themselves from other Asians generallly. There are a few cases of this going on, but...

Re: Promoting JHATKA?? What total nonsense Please keep Meat debates on Fools Wrangle over flesh thread. This post is about Jhatka, and not the pro's and con's of meat eating.

Re: Who are we to judge? I agree with Max314. Amazing to read such carping remarks. The gurus did not judge on the basis of our physical appearance. They accepted everyone who came to them. Who are we to judge others and say that someone who cuts their hair is not sikh and someone who has a...

I agree Max314. Amazing to read such carping remarks. The gurus did not judge on the basis of our physical appearance. They accepted everyone who came to them. Who are we to judge others and say that someone who cuts their hair is not sikh and someone who has a turban is a Sikh. In my mind, a...

How exactly would you define animal abuse because in my view, animal abuse abounds. Would you not say that the mass slaughter of animals for our consumption is abuse? Why are rights denied to those who are the most vulnerable, who have no voice ? Do animals not bleed or hurt when they are cut or...

THE REAL ISSUE IS NOT JEANS - JUST CONVENIENT TO BLAME WOMEN This issue is not really about the jeans. It is more that most males cannot control their downward thoughts. If you are pure of thought, which is what the Bani impresses, then you somebody could have little clothes or no clothes...

Am really sorry to read about your plight but not in the least bit surprised. You talk about "sikhs", but most people who wear a turban and got to a gurdwara and perhaps even read the bani, are not real Sikhs in the true sense of the word. To be conferred with the title "Sikh" is not so easily...

I have heard of relationships such as this. Along the line, they will present enormous problems. I think that the girl's family will have strong feelings about this and will not accept this relationship at any cost. Can you live with that? Sorry to be a wet blanket, but you need to face...

If you read The Guru Granth Sahib- and more importantly imbibe and practice its essence, then there are no more questions, and no more need to explore and research into other paths. Our minds are already overloaded - endless distractions, endless projections, endless analysis, - where has...

Re: WHO ISN'T IMPURE? I quite agree and am baffled at the different treatment of men and women in Sikhi, when this is one religion where such differences hold no merit. The Bani's concern is with our soul, which has no sex, gender etc. With regards to : because women menstruate, they are...

Re: "Short-hair" Ban on Gurdwara Marriages I ask...why did Waheguru give us hair, if we were not meant to keep it? If one pursues this logic, then the Waheguru also bring us into this world with no clothes on, should we not also then keep this state???

Re: "Short-hair" Ban on Gurdwara Marriages But live your life in the Guru's image, last I checked...Guru Nanak kept a long beard and hair...same all the way to Guru Gobind who asked all his Sikhs to become Khalsa and keep it. With due respect, since the beginning of time, Gurus have not...

Re: "Short-hair" Ban on Gurdwara Marriages Whaeguru loves the person, not the appearance, remember this before we ourselves fall into the fundamentalist pitfalls as other major religions, I quite agree. Why are we even having this discussion. Do our hair go with us after we die!! and...
