[QUOTE="Seeker2013, post: 203062, member: 19755"] I work in an IT company. I have always felt a considerable size of people have a bias against me because of my sikhi saroop ! and I am not working in some US city . I live in my so-called "own country" - india . In one of its multicultural cities - mumbai , where I was born and grew up and currently working. And yet, while there are people everywhere who respect me for the turban on my head, I have also felt like some evil aura around people who almost hated me and suspected me for being different. The previous office I worked in , a south indian bullied me like anything "Why do you wear this hat on your head?" , "Oh he can't hear anything he has his ears covered by so many layers" , "can you people cut your vegetables using your kirpan ( a word I told him to use rather than the word he used initally - chaaku (knife ) ) , "eh tum log chaaku kyu pehenta hai" (why do you people wear a knife ) some people would ask me . I told them its kirpan and an article of faith for us and for self-defense and for defense of others. I never retaliated to bullying strongly because I was new in the office and my first job and didn't want to create a scandal because I have noticed even if I am the one who's done wrong to , it usually ends up with me on one side and rest of my colleagues on the other side. Actually this is my first job I joined on july . I initially worked in their office , but was later deployed to client side where I am currently working. Next in this office too , I met my share of idiots and satans. People who're otherwise decent and very good people wonder why do I have to wear a turban. Yesterday, after office hours as I was chatting with my colleagues , topic of religion came up. And this one guy said that if he became the leader of india, he would force anyone to become one appearance (muslims can't keep beards and caps and no turbans and beards for sikhs and no bodi for hindus) and then some other colleagues who're from maharashtra also said some nasty things like [B]"Why do you people segregate yourselves from the rest by wearing turbans ? what is the need ?" [/B] It almost sounded like RSS venom. I was so repulsed . THESE ARE THE PEOPLE we laid our lives for !!?? I was so repulsed infact I uttered "Where did you take this ideology from ? RSS?" and his face reaction was as if I caught him spot-on ! and then later when I was listening to kirtan , this guy came near me and when I gave him one earphone to listen to kirtan , he was like "Its not in hindi !!!?" sounds familiar ?! "hindu HINDI hindustan" slogan of hindutva elements ! It has made me feel like an outsider at times, in "my own country" , a country we thought was our own , a country our ancestors laid their lives for . And such hurtful and insensitive comments come from people who're following a religion which was saved by the blood of our 9th guru - Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Teg Bahadur Sahib maharaj. What an 'akirtghan' (ungrateful) community they're . I think sometimes. PS: I am not in 100% sikhi saroop. I trim my beard too . but it still hurts me when people say sh*t about my religion [/QUOTE]
