[QUOTE="S|kH, post: 4104, member: 217"] I feel I had to answer to this post. I am an 18 year old Turbanned Sikh in America. I was all into the "cool-fashion" during my early years in high school, then my dhari came in. And yes, this is a huge hit to psychological issues. As the dhari came in, I cared less and less for how I looked outwardly, it did not matter to me, as long as I was just dressed. I went from wearing neat polo t-shirts, to wearing plain colored generic shirts and just a pair of jeans with normal boots. I also notice this trend amongst many, many other keshdhari youths. I dont know what happened, but I think its just that you realize it doesn't matter, and your never going to be that incredible model on tv anyway. Psychological issues take in effect and bam, you looking like a poor loser externally, but whats the big deal? It's not as if I'm in a rush in the morning and I don't have time to tie a nice and tidy turban, its just that.....I don't care. I comb my hair daily, my hair is kempt, everything underneath is neat, just outwardly its plain and simple, and in todays world...deemed "unfashionable" and "ugly". I don't understand why it matters what the TV depicts us as. Ghandi went around wearing a simple cloth, and he's a legendary figure, both political and religiously. And if we dare to get into politics today, the older generation wants a "nice and neat" looking Sikh who gels his dhari to his chin, wears a nice ironed tuxedo, etc. etc... I fail to understand why it matters. It's psychological issues. It's not that my confidence fell and I feel inferior. It's just that once the dhari came in, I became so out of touch with fashionable and neatness assosciated with culture, that it did not matter to me anymore. My confidence was the same, and everything else is fine. I used to buy hundred dollar sneakers, the latest boots, the newest trend in clothes, nice suits. Now I have multi-colored plain t-shirts, and about 1-2 pair of jeans, and a pear of sweatpants I wear. And a suit for "special occassions". I dont miss the other style I used to have before at all, matter of fact I like the way I am now. Yes, I understand if I'm getting a job, I must appeal to the employer also. But, if I'm merely on TV with a successful job already, why should I worry then how people think of me? And why this be called looking bad towards Sikhs? [/QUOTE]
