[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 130197, member: 138"] Wow! When I saw this thread, I did not even bother reading it but after seeing 64 posts, it aroused my curiosity and I decided to read each and every post. Before I offer my 2 cent worth, I have a question for people who live in India. Are there any beauty contests in India where Sikh contestants participate and is there a swim suit category in it? I agree with Narayanjot ji's last post that,"The entire matter is a ball of tangled yarn." In order to untangle this yarn, knot by knot, we would have to make Sikhi into a much bigger tent than it is where traditions and the Gurmat Ideals given to us by our only Guru Sri Guru Granth Sahib can intermingle and sometimes can be conflicting which would make us breed acceptance of others, no matter how they look outwardly, with or without baana but how they pitch in the society to make it better with the help of Gurmat Ideals, which is the duty of anyone who calls himself/herself a Sikh. Let's not forget that there are also Sehajdhari Sikhs and Bhai Nand Lal did not take Khandei di pahul but he is respected in Sikhi. Guru Gobind Singh ji gave the name Singh and Kaur to only those that took Khandei de pahul but then later on the tradition allowed Sikhs to keep hair or not and have the name Singh and Kaur which has been accepted by us for a long time. Those who live in India may not understand this, but some parts of the diaspora society is much more conservative and have the taliban mentality than the Amritdhari Sikhs living in India. A play called Bhetzi was banned in the UK due to the protests by these Sikhs with the taliban mentality. This was discussed here.(Request to the Moderators, please locate the thread and post it here). So, Harleen's concern as a UK resident is genuine and should been see under the above light. It is very easy for us to judge others by their appearance or actions. It is like playing Ik Ong Kaar which makes us forget that Sikhi is a jounrney of the individual, hence each of us carries his/her own spiritual torch. Sri Guru Granth Sahib, our only Guru urges us to become better as individuals, not cast stones at others whom we think our unfit according to our own subjective benchmarks. Let's strive to become better as individuals and give our best wishes to Harleen in her career which is a very short lived one. Who knows that she becomes an Amritdhari Sikh and turns out to be much better than all of us through her deeds after this short lived gig is over! Tejwant Singh [/QUOTE]
