What is this about Begum ji, you know I'm pretty dull head , what does this mean.. Sorry, could not understand your point...

Dear tgill

In a religion there are different sects.some of them are quite orthodox and some of them quite liberal.Tapoban site is controlled by Sikh sect Akhand kirtani jatha (AKJ).They are very strict in theirt rehat.They don't even beleive that non amritdhari are sikhs.Some of them even beleive that only true amrit is which is taken from Akj.so don't paint entire Sikhism with views of one sect.

Dear KDS ji,

I am coming to believe that we are a totally confused race, or may be its just me ....

tgill ji

please elaborate

I would like to add that one should never get angry if a person of another religion were to inquire about a Sikh beliefs, teachings and culture and costumes. Explain to them each and every time so that eventually they will understand Sikhism better and also spread the word to their friends.

However, if you were to show your temper, it will just confirm their belief that Sikhs are violent, have no sense of values and should be shunned. I have even been asked if I am a Muslim but I always make it a point to correct the wrong perceptions.

Practice tolerance and you will find the world a better place to live in.

just if it makes anything better i am a Sikh gurl dat lives in stoke n der arent many sikhs ere i am da onli Sikh gurl in my colij n i get asked so many questions which i tink r reli stoopid buh in my hed i fink old on i always wunder stuff bwt utha ppls religions buh i dnt say it i fink every1 else jus ses it

Dear punjabikiren:
Ah, O to be young again and speak a language unknown to the old!

After careful study of your questions I think that the problem you have with your contemporaries and their questioning could be resolved by speaking English this should confuse them.
