[QUOTE="lionprinceuk, post: 92039, member: 120"] ok then,I have my views and you have yours, I still do not believeI have mixed Guru ji into following caste system and social statuses. Remember that, even though Guru Nanak had followers in Baghdad, they were still muslims, they had not left their previous majab. So there were/are stillmuslims sikh and hindu sikhs like ninakhshais and nanakpanthis. Similarly, there are Buddha dharmi followers of Guru Nanak, where they see Guru ji as Lama, and these followers even come to Harmandir Sahib I believe annually. Guru Nanak has not asked his followers to especially join anything to follow him, anyone is allowed to follow Guru ji, and they don;t need to leave any of their duties or cultures. And I think, for the context of brahmins, as in the ones you see just not doing anything except praying or preaching;these are the ones who would not be able to fight,, thosewho do not practise the martial arts. Same things can be said about many singhs these days, they have gone towards ritual side, but do not have the warrior maryada, and the kirpans worn by them could not be utilised. And also I am not saying Guru Nanak followed the rituals, but there is difference in not following and avoiding. As in we may not agree with some laws of a country,but sometimes we still have to obey. For example, wearing a smaller kirpaan in countries. We are not allowed to make gurdwara in some arab countries. So in general, theres difference between questioning a society or law, and in disobeying a society or family. And Janeoo,is just something very minor, althougfh maybe it was seen as something major by the people?!?! About bani what I am saying is people have their own way of viewing what is said in bani. Also, I also have seen people who have associated people who don't believe in their own tribe or caste to a certain few castes. But then, even with my own eyes, including on the net, I have seen the preaching against caste, and also the attacking of people who follow caste, coming from certain castes, the majority coming from one caste that forms alot of sikhs. I shall be nameless of which tribe. I have no need to act like them. Anyway, as long as there is respect forpeople, and people are treated with equity, then theres noproblem, of course this is not the case. The other problem is when the people who don't follow caste are the ones who actually discriminate between people, such as discrimination againsi non-sikhs, non-amrit-dharis, monay, even as far as discrimination against people that aren;t in their "jatha" organisation, and ironically, discrimination of people who are alleged to follow caste. I think the inequality and discrimination goes beyond those who just follow "caste", people need to respect each other, this is what we can learn from Guru ji :) [/QUOTE]
