[QUOTE="FreeWill, post: 178376, member: 19165"] Sat Sri Akal Ji. Agrees to all the above points. I.have something to ask and say. What I perceive from wearing the turban is creating our own entity as a Sikh. But on the context to Sikhism as a wider term, the word itself has a wider term and depth to it. The term "Sikh" has its origin meaning disciple, student. Also, some historians suggests that the name "Sikh" is derived from the ancient term "Saka " . [29] A Sikh is a disciple/subject of the Guru . According to Article I of the " Rehat Maryada " (the Sikh code of conduct and conventions), a Sikh is defined as "any human being who faithfully believes in One Immortal Being. Sikhs believe in the equality of humankind, the concept of universal brotherhood of man and One Supreme God ( Ik Onkar). When Sikhism is already defined to do everything with equality of mankind, why a dress code like a turban or beard is required. can't these tasks be done anonymously. Even practically when every human help for mankind can be done even otherwise, why identity is necessary. especially when people are lacking time in day to day activities, how is it practically relevant to spent so much time tying turban and working with beard. And can any turban tying Sikh ever deny the pain it carries sometimes in forehead and at the back of the head because of tying turban. In summers when people are relaxing in the open air, a turbaned Sikh is looking for ways to cool his head of sweat and pain. And I'm sure if any girl or boy needs some help from thieves or some practical decoits, a turbaned Sikh will think twice before jumping in to avoid getting his turban fell off his head in public. In respect to religion, there is no word to say. Bit practically I don't understand how it helps Sikhs or mankind as a whole. Even if.it is a dress code, doesn't mean it has to stay forever. we go to school, follow dress code, but we can't keep it on forever. Can a Sikh enjoy and jump into a pool of water. Majority of us envy short hair people of any religion when it comes to sports especially water sports activities. I Strongly beleive in preachings of Sikhi, however, why to follow them requires special dress code. [/QUOTE]
