[QUOTE="Nishi, post: 48827, member: 4022"] Neutral Singh, I am so shocked at what you have said, Your views on sikhism and our current society are the main reason for the youth of today walking away from sikhism. You have an issue about men drinking alcohol and girls not allowed. Well, in sikhism we are not to put toxins in our body but we all tend to following the PUNJABI life style. You to have confused the Sikh Path with the Punjabi life style. Most people live the punjabi lifestyle and follow sikhism to a point. You think sikh girls have it hard? you should see the life of a muslim girl. Sikh women are equals to sikh men in our religion. In the muslim religion women are considered BELOW men. Muslim women are not allowed to talk to another man or a boy regardless of who he is. They cant be in the same room as their male relatives. I am a born, bred East London Sikh girl. I do cut my hair and do eat meat and the men in my family do drink alcohol but they also have a very strong belief in sikhism. I also have a strong and positive belief in Sikhism, i am always trying to increase my knowledge as i believe you can never know enough. You need to remember that it comes down to interpretation, and that is the knowledge you will get from your parents or grandparents or uncles and aunts. I do think you are right about the sikh youth moving away from Sikhism but i think this is down to lack of knowledge. As my knowledge has increased, i have become more interested in sikhism and my belief and pride in sikhism has increased too! When i go to the Gurdwara, i do listen and i do understand what is being said. At 1st i didnt obviously but i asked my parents questions and tried to understand the history. If you WANT to learn about sikhism then all the tools are there for you. If you are being disturbed but the gossiping then tell them to shut up or go away! i do! hehe The box for contributions is not a plea for money, it is there for all sikhs to contribute to the maintenance of the gurdwara, this is there for people to put there little bit of money to keep their Gurdwara in a good condition. If you actually speak to Muslims, you will know that the HAVE to contribute a percentage of their salary to charity EVERY month, which is paid to the mosque. Also you will know that a bowl goes around for contributions in the Mosque and the Church. Sikhs have the box there for people to contribute as they wish. Not pushed to pull money out when someone puts a bowl in front of you to put money in. I think that you need to actually look at what you know about sikhism and TRY to understand this. You will only then know how to identify what it missing from your knowledge and can ask about it. I think you are push Sikhism away from you and i think that is wrong. We need to get the sikh children back and i think the way things are going it will not happen. The current situation to me is that the are 2 groups of children. The sikhs with turbans and who probably had done Amrit and the other group are the ones that go out partying and go to the gurdwara one a year. We need to get rid if this divide. Why do you have to wear a turban and not eat meat, etc to be sikh or involved in sikh organisation. Its this kind of heavily imposed views that are pushing children away. If a child does not know about sikhism then how will they grow to love it as all sikhs do! You need to introduce it to them and take the process slowly. I truly believe that this is the only away to bring the sikh youth back. We all need to be unitied and appreicate our fellow sikhs, not look down at the cos they ant wearing a turban or dnt no all the 5 "k". How will they ever learn if they are pushed away! But Sikh men especially young men need to sort out one thing. You all need to stop dating and marrying non-sikhs! That is sooooooo wrong! cos that is exactly way the sikh girls are falling into the traps layed by muslims and muslim men and laughing at you all! You cant marry a Gujrati girl but tell you sister so has to marry a sikh boy! thats rubbish! that is also a major factor that is killing sikhism! we are lossing our purity! If a sikh man marries a Gujrati girl then there child will not really follow either religion!! it mad! We need to do something fast!!! [/QUOTE]
