wearing a turban was held high in the indian culture and the governments ordered the removal of turban as a punishment to some.

This makes sense -- in fact it clears up my personal confusion in an earlier post. The importance of dastar -- I never thought of it this way -- comes in some part from efforts to take it away forcibly from the populace of Guru Nanak's time as a way of imposing political and social disparities. That would explain why it acquired its political and spiritual importance to the Sikh identity. |

| | | | | Re: Help Please! Trapped between My In-law's Beliefs and Mine Dear Guru di beti jio,
First of all congratulations on the daat of bhachangi.May he be blessed with Guru's love always. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=27067
Today in many sikh families you come across the situation as similar to the one narrated by you where youngsters are not comfortable with sikhi-swaroop and practices and parents give-in to the sentimental and emotional black-mailing by their own kids.It is here that the role of parents and elders of the family is more important but since you have a different mindset of elders and your spouse in your house,still your determination can play an important role in the formation of your son's future as per your liking. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=27067
Have faith in Guru and be positive in your approach lest the ideas and thaughts of others can influence the young one.You and YOU can make the difference.
