[QUOTE="tony, post: 113806, member: 2152"] Kanwardeep ji I gave you the reasons why those kaurs chose clean shaven men. Seems its hard for you to understand, I'll explain it other way. If when you are growing up a dog of a particular breed is aggressive towards you and bites you, when you are old enough to get your own would you go out and buy a dog of that breed or would you get yourself a dog of what appears to be a less aggressive breed. Doesnt mean that the dog of your choose isnt going to bite you. These girls grew up in a traditional family enviroment and their experiences where they were treated less favourably to there brothers, none where subject to physical abuse but all where subject to mental abuse, pressure was put on them to conform to the old ways of the girl doing her duties. threats of disownment, not being allowed out of the house without a brother with them. they watched there older sisters in loveless marriages being disrespected, they chose not to follow them and because of their choice they where disowned. they didnt disown their families it was the families that disowned them, they didnt disown Sikhi, It was the Sikhs who disowned the girls, name calling, old friends not being allowed to talk to them, sisters not even acknowledging them in the streets. darent go to the Gudwara because of the gossiping about them. They didnt do anything anti-Sikh, Yet Sikhs refuse to acknowledge them. Gyani ji quite agree it was Guru Nanak ji who souned the horn of freedom, but has it been another 500 years and still women arent treated as full equals in Sikhi, Explain where the pride in wearing a turban/Singh/ Kaur is in that please, I chose Sikhi as an individual spiritual journey, not to look good, not because I had a identity crisis or needed to belong to a particular group, My journey is purely for spiritual reasons, My appearance has nothing to do with my spirituallity.
