[QUOTE="BhagatSingh, post: 151008, member: 2610"] Ishna ji, I admire your continuous effort to resolve such issues. I am probably not going to help your praiseworthy case with this post. I LOLed at that. IMO the second line of reasoning works better. When you see someone wear earrings, do you really think they look like a nath yogi? [IMG]http://mahadev108.com/articles/kumbhamela07/kumbha_17.jpg[/IMG] Uh oh... they have turbans... I think this earring debate is fairly modern. Old paintings of male Sikhs are shown with earrings. Maharaja Ranjit Singh (young) [IMG]http://kashihouse.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/bm_detail.bmp[/IMG] Hari Singh Nalwa [IMG]http://www.sikh-heritage.co.uk/warriors/HariNalwa/general.jpg[/IMG] Fresco of Guru Ram Das ji getting Gurgaddi (fairly modern fresco, late 1800s I believe, but still) : [IMG]http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1175/537108779_d887fba4c2_z.jpg?zz=1[/IMG] This painting is claimed to be a imagined meeting of Guru Gobind Singh ji and Guru Nanak Dev ji. Not sure about this the authenticity of this image but again Guru sahib is depicted with an earring. [IMG]http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1384/537108773_68ba1edf14_z.jpg?zz=1[/IMG] Apparently ear-rings are worn by high status men. So not as "as dainty feminine ear piercings." Source:[url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/xironxin_kalikanzaros/537108773/"]Guru Gobind Singh meets Guru Nanak Dev | Flickr - Photo Sharing![/url] Perhaps it's because of the onset of British raj that earrings became less of a male thing. High status British men would not have worn them and so... I don't know. My well wishes to all women (and men) who choose not to wear earrings. [/QUOTE]
