[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 141888, member: 35"] [b]Re: Arab Sovreignty, Sikh Solidarity (Langar Hall)[/b] Rather than fumble around for a reply, I quote from a recent thread: PROTECTING THE IDENTITY OF MINORITIES: A SIKH’S DUTY IN PRESERVING THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL OF FREEDOMS A Sikh, at one’s core, is an individual who is constantly learning, with that learning structured by one’s environment (parents, community, etc.) and through one’s own study of the path the Sikh Gurus outlined. The Sikh Gurus understood well the importance of identity, both internal and external. Self-introspection, ethical actions, and maintaining truthful character are only but a small portion of the instructions around internal identity which the Gurus outlined for Sikhs. From an external identity perspective, the Gurus blessed Sikhs with the dastaar (Sikh turban), and five kakaars (kesh, kara, kanga, kacherra, and kirpan). What is the importance of that external identity for a Sikh Other than being a gift of a communal identity from the Gurus that bestows its own strength of communality, the Gurus fashioned out of a human being an individual whose external appearance reflects a commitment to stand defiant against injustice.
