[QUOTE="lotus lion, post: 92738, member: 5620"] Hi, I would have to agree with Brothers such as Star Force. On the surface, yes i too would agree that arguing about this could be deemed petty, but when we scratch beneath it, one cannot deny that this is merely the result of The Sikhs not caring, respecting and internalising The Dharma. I sometimes feel that we pay The Dharma mere lip-service, if that, but then for some reason expect everyone to know us and give us recognition and when it does not happen, we have a shocked/blank look on our face. It is almost as if we as a whole suffer from dillusions of grandeur from 300 Years ago. Ask almost any person about Islam and they can tell you the name of their place of worship, 'The name' of their God, and the name of thier Prophet Plus a basic understanding of their religion. I sincerely doubt that they could do the same for The Sikhs. From my perspective our values as a whole are becoming secular, (No spiritual Base) and are what the rest of the World dicatate to us, so we are but another face in the crowd. I do not know what else we as Sikhs are expecting in all honesty. Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ang 4 Could be deemed that it has been taken out of context, but i feel it illustrates how i feel about the issue. Had we made ourselves known in a constructive and organised manner to the wider population, influenced society to move in the right direction and contributed beyond the mere financial, I do not see why we would have been left of the speech. Please note i am not crying out for attention, though it may seem like it. To me it is an indicator that we are not being recognised because we are not practicing or propogating the Dharma the way it should be and that is a cause for concern. Please also note i am not having a gripe about President Obama not speaking of The Sikhs either. I sincerely wish him every success in his presidency irrespective of speaking about us, But this act implies to some degree that we are hardly on the radar of awarness fo the billions of people out there, which can not be a good for anyone. As a whole we need to get our act together. In the UK there is the [URL="http://www.sikhcourse.com/"]Sikh Course[/URL] which is explaining the Dharma to the Sikhs to begin with and hopefully to others further down the line. Bit of a rant for myself i must admit, and bordering on the Non-positive which is never my intention, but at the end i hope something positive comes out of it. My best regards, Lotus [/QUOTE]
