[QUOTE="HK_Fateh, post: 49192, member: 4131"] I'm sorry, this might be somewhat out of the talking point here, but this is what I feel, girls! Let's stop the blame game, and play like a real spotrsperson. Even if parents didn't do their job, we can't justify our divergence from Sikhi basing on that. So friends, how about starting afresh, and getting to know that what is yet not clear. One thing is for sure, our gurus said nothing that is baseless... if we don't know the reason of a ritual or belief, its only our ignorance and not an obsolete, out of date thought. In fact, I think Sikhism is one of the most 'modern' religions. There's not a thing in Gurbani that has to be justified with regard to today's world, whereas other religions might have to explain a thing or two, for it is not in sync with the modern beliefs or science of today! I am pasting below a write-up I wrote a while ago for another forum. Sikh girls, read on and do reply, dear sisters! I'm a Sikh, earlier by chance and now by choice too! I went thro' the whole discussion and let me tell you the dilemma that is reflected here is just a miniature version of what the actual scenario in the world of sikhi is today. I'm a girl and one who has taken up many styles and values that we would like to call as 'modern'. But to me, that hasn't meant compromising with any of my sikhi principles! Sikhism is my way of life, if I compromise with what my Gurus tell, how do I even justify my living on His earth, for my Gurus tell that only which is true to Nature, or Akalpurakh Waheguru, so to speak.
