[QUOTE="harbansj24, post: 107174, member: 4544"] Narayanjot ji, First of all, I wish to point out that this e mail probably predates the decision of Punjab & Haryana High Court about which I have already mentioned in different threads. After detailed learned arguments, the court has given a clear verdict that only Sabat Soorat Sikhs (total keshdharis are Sikhs) Even women who pluck their eyebrows cannot be considerd as Sikhs. A Gursikh is one who: [LIST] [*]Recognizes [URL="http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/guru-granth-sahib/"]Guru Granth Sahib[/URL] as his/her Guru. [*]Has 5ks and does not contemplate discarding them. [*]Does Simran, Kirit and Vand Chakh. [/LIST] Others who only partly adhere to the above cannot be considered as Gursikhs whatever else they may be. These are the basic and core issues which cannot be compromised . It is also unfortunately true that a large number of Sikhs practice casteism, strictly forbidden by the Gurus. This because the controling elite of Akali Dal and SGPC are subtley castesist. The lower casts have practically no say running of Sikh affairs. Hence they set up their own Gurudwaras. The higher castes were until recently quite smug about it, until they discovered that many devotees had now shifted to these Gurudwaras. The contolling elite will have to make sincere afforts to bring them back into their fold. Another contentious issue is that of a living Guru. There is a lot of confusion being created in the concept of a living Guru and that of a Sant. [I][B]A Sant acknowledges and accepts Guru Granth Sahib as the only Guru of the Sikhs and treats himself as only as guide for ordinary Sikhs.[/B][/I] [B]He does not allow himself to be worshipped.[/B] There are innumerable praises sung in favour of genuine Sant in Guru Granth Sahib. Guru granth Sahib actively discourages criticism and illtreatment of a genuine Sant. In Sukhmani Sahib the complete 13th Ashtpadi is devoted against crticism or ill treament of a Sant. So I think ther is no confusion in the basics of Sikhism. Gurufateh Harbans Singh [/QUOTE]
