This thread got me thinking about a rather negative question: http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/inspirational-stories/33649-indias-one-woman-charity.html
Sikhism was created in Punjab 500 years ago. Why are so many Punjabi's continuing to live against Sikh principles?
You'd think the area where a religion like Sikhism was generated would be flourishing with the virtues espoused within the religion, but Punjab apparently has one of the highest rates of female infanticide in the world.
Why??? Why isn't the message of the Guru's getting through??? They couldn't make it any clearer!!!
Is it reflective of a failing on the religion's part that the bulk of the people refuse to accept the teachings and continue to engage in practices contrary to the religion?
If it were to exist, would the Sikh state of Khalistan be just like Punjab?
I guess when Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji says the true Gurmukh is one in a million, it wasn't kidding!
Ishna
