Waheguru ji ka khalsa,
Waheguru ji ki fateh,
Dear Bro & Sis,

Accept my humble request.
I want to ask you all a small question , just like brain storming,
"You all have been to zoo, you have seen many animals, must have enjoyed teasing them( at childhood) or (may be now honestly) , have seen lion, Seen his terrible body behind the bars,

How does it feel like, if for a moment you think , 'i wish i could be a lion' ."

No it doesn`t feel good, coz he`s behind the bars, and he` helpless. The mighty king of forest, the man-eater(women-eater) is helpless and it become much more ridicule image as imagin yourself in a circus.
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/sikh-youth/17883-wake-up-call.html

Now, come back and think about yourself
Who so-call them self (singh or kaur), singh mean lion we all know, and we are lion (we also know) - [not to include women here, coz they are also lioness for sure ]


Now imagin yourself going in a plan from san fransisco to new york , you are wearing your turban , the flight attendant told you “shut up” and “do not cause any problems”.(Corporate Social Responsibility News from Sikh Mediawatch and Resource Task Force (SMART): Sikh Sues Delta Airlines over Racial Profiling, Harassment)

We all know there are tons of such happening all over the world (even in india) .

So my quesion is that "what hath we done to stop this?"
or we are waiting for other people (non-sikh) to automatically give us our right whenever we need , and they just dont discriminate us.

No , that not gonna happen, simply because no one cares. and no body has time for anybody and no one is intersting knowing us, they just see us and turn their face by saying "diper-head". and we become mute even if we heard that . We dont speak , cause we think it might cause problem and we dont wanna get into problem coz we think that we already created problem by showing us into public.

We were khalsa, (the holy army of god) and now become .... (ask yourself) .my question is "what the hell we are waiting for?"
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=17883

You know what the problem was? the problem was evangelism. Christian went to all four direction and made everyone christ by dipping them into river, muslim have been in all direction and made everone by circumcision. nothing to talk about hindus here. and sikh?

"No No NO we are monolistic religion , believe in all the possible ways(religion) to one god" -- good enought but what hath we got?

we get "discrimination, spitting on our face, name calling, exectution, etc."

So what do you think, should we live like an insect and we grow up our kids in this environment and pray to god for their wellwish .

We are the youth of sikh. If we did nothing today then this gonna happen every generation and our kid gonna suffer the same stuff what we are suffering.


The quesion is "when will we wake up?"

One of the biggest truth of this world is that if you look different from general population then you are an object of fun.This world is very cruel place on forums it looks like heaven but reality is it is no better than hell.the recent india australia series is the biggest example of this .the Man of the series andrew symonds was targeted by indian crowd
.They called him monkey faced because he is west indian and with his dark skin,trinidad long hair style aand white lips he looks different from the rest of australian team.That's why he is targeted by indian crowd.In this world if you are 6 inches shorter than rest of population,or 20 kgs heavier than rest then you are an object of fun.so how could turbaned sikhs expect that world is going to accept them.

You are right spreading sikhism is could be only solution of this problem.

Don't worry about future generation.we don't even know how many sikhs will wear turban in future 5,10 % or may be less.

Wake up and dance on dead bodies of those who have gave blood to us so that`s why we have courage to wear turban.

Wake up and mock on those who have cut their head just because they dont wanna cut their hair

Wake up and laugh on those women who had put the necklace of the their tiny toads who were tribally killed by moguls for not being sikh

Wake up and Question Guru Gobind Singh that why did he baptised us and made us so courageous to fight aginast evil

Wake up and Question yourself why did you born as sikh not as hindu or Christan

Wake up and remove your turban , disguise it because you no longer can proctect it

Wake up and the again go in sleep!

Waheguru

Re: Wake up call

Wake up to the fact that we wear this physical body as a temporary abode.
Wake up to the reality - Kaho Nanak thir kich nahiN Swupne jiu sansar.
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=17883

Wake up from your lazy bed and rise early in the morning before sunrise.
Wake up from the illusion that looks so real while it lasts.

Wake up to the fact that death is eminent.
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=17883
Wake up thinking of our worldly affairs as being just an affair.

Wake up from wonderland and the mesmerising influence of the cheshire cat.
Wake up from the cartoon characters that make you forget, you're a Sikh.

Wake up from the idea that the enemy is on the outside.
Wake up from the cycle of birth, death and transmigration.

Is that what happened to Today`s Sikh
Is this what i am living to listen
ARE these those people who once given their lives to save sikhi and now so Cold-Blooded that 'Dont worry about future generations'

What has happened to us?

Mr. kds ji ,
Our Children not gonna walk until we teach them how to walk.
Our Children not gonna learn English until we teach them English.
Our Children not gonna go in good university until we teach them the essence of Education.

So how do expect that they gonna be so desperate to be baptized until we teach them the philosophy of Sikh.


It is very easy to say 'Do not care, coz no one care' but
its tough to have a sense responsibility and dare to have courage.
