[QUOTE="Harkiran Kaur, post: 204999, member: 18224"] Hmm wonder how some might see me then?? As a gori, tying a dastar and not only that I fought for the right for women Sikhs to tie turbans in the Canadian military paving the way for other singhnis to do so. My story made international news including in print in Times India which is the largest national newspaper in India. It was carried on probably more than 20 Sikh news websites and all of the comments were positive. Seriously there was not a single negative comment whatsoever!! You can still search the stories online by Canadian navy Sikh woman turban and you will find them and you can read what people wrote in the comments! There are more Punjabi Singhnis who are tying them now. The younger generation are claiming their right as equal next to the Singhs and tying dastars is part of that. My Sangat here was hugely supportive. They know I am doing it because I believe Guru Ji wanted all his Sikhs to and know the reasons behind it and I believe in them. There are also a LOT of Punjabi Singhs marrying gori converts so they must not think anything against us for following the religion so closely and also respecting Punjabi culture as well... My in laws love that I wear salwar kameez when I'm there in India and I fit in more that way. I wear salwar kameez here too as sitting on floor in jeans is horribly uncomfortable and wondering if anything is showing that shouldn't be... It's just more modest for matha tek etc too. Salwar kameez is not just Punjabi other cultures also wear these suits!! They are just clothes. And lots of Indian women wear jeans and t shirts! Hinduism is different because of the belief of being born into it. But Sikhi is open to all who follow teachings of our Gurus. Sikh Rehet Maryada makes it clear that ANYONE who follows the teachings of the ten gurus, SGGSJ, etc are Sikhs. Guru Nanak Dev Ji got followers how?? They weren't born into it... They followed him because they believed him and chose to! Sikhi doesn't try to convert people but anyone who finds it on their own is welcomed with open arms. I have never found a single Punjabi Sikh against goris following Sikhi. Only exception to this is 3HO because some feel they have appropriated Sikh image but they are practicing something entirely different. I think u might be overanalyzing things and worrying a bit too much. I did at first... But then realized every Punjabi I know are hugely supportive. My best friend is Punjabi, my husband is Punjabi... Punjabi culture is kind of natural to me now lol [/QUOTE]
