[QUOTE="BhagatSingh, post: 131663, member: 2610"] No picures?!? icecreammunda lol Apparently, castes exist among Sikhs. We need to figure out practical ways of eliminating the differences. Castes are embedded into the Punjabi language, they are embedded into the culture and thus embedded in social relationships. On one hand there are people who will say we are Sikhs or in Sikhism... caste is not an issue then while swearing may use "Chamar" "Churha" Jamadaar" (lower caste labels) as insults. That's how deeply rooted this problem is. Same with discrimination based on Skin colour... which does not get much attention among Sikh circles. "Gora" is compliment, while "kala" is an insult. The word black is not only associated with colour but with negative emotions. Such emotions are deeply rooted in language, culture, media... how to eliminate such undertones behind mere words? I think there are several forefronts from where to fight. swordfight Religion is a going to be a major player, no doubt. Media, I think has an even bigger role. As it keeps change from occuring. Media needs to reverse roles, bring out black/lower caste actors and actresses. But what we can do on the individual level is create awareness and question people on the use of the word. If someone mentions lower caste labels, or skin colours in a way where their use is more than just white or black, we need to point that out to them, and maybe even slap them... ... ok maybe not slap them but tell them how racist they sound in a serious tone! Give 'em [B]that[/B] look. :thumbup: I asked before how can be get rid of the wrong meaning behind words... Start using those words in the "wroing" context and with the opposite meaning to the culturally assigned one.[SIZE=1] Warning: You may get slapped for complementing an Indian woman on how black she looks. [SIZE=2]Tell people that you have a preference for a darker skinned/lower caste partner (even if you don't) because of how cool they are, and how they have learned to face hardships in there life because of their colour and status... etc etc. Make it sound very passionate![/SIZE] [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
