Bhangra is to celebrate harvest which IK ONG KAAR bestows on us. How can dancing to share happiness on this occasion is sacrilegious? We should teach our kids with the help of Gurmat values how to overcome 'Chanchalness' as you put it which in my opinion is a derrogatary way of looking at our future generation- our paniri. Would it be better if they get together at a hall next to the local pub to practice Bhangra or Gidha? We should introduce more cultural things which are not anti Gurmat ofcourse to our kids through Gurdwaras so that they can cultivate these values which in return may encourage them to dwell in Gurmat values no matter what they do or where.

Guri Kaur Bhenji , Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh, We are all products of our environment. I have no idea how many kids have become Gursikhs after going to see "Bhangra Blow Out" in Washington D.C & other places of USA. But thats not the point of discussion here nor can it be taken as benchmark for the above topic. We should remind ourselves that our kids, first generation or second live in dual cultures in a reverse osmosis manner.We have to adapt a bit of the culture in the country we have chosen to live in and have nurture our kids in but our main culture and value system remains the same whereas our kids are forced by us to adapt to our culture, our value system which is not theirs. They are more confused about their role playing in thier parents culture than in their own. They are more openminded than we are. Their value system of friendship with the opposite sex is more innocent than ours. What they think is 'no big deal' we call it'chanchalness'. This generation gap which is normal between parents and kids becomes exceptionally wider because we as parents want our kids to adopt our old value system without giving them the tools to do so. We blame our kids when they grow older that they donot listen to us, respect us and sometimes we donot like the company they keep outside their homes. We expect them to understand our value system and traditions just by following our way.We forget that it is our duty, because of our wisdom as elders to get closer to them rather than expecting them to do so.In order to do that we should have all kinds of cultural activities through our Gurdwaras where all parents with the same value system get together,which would make our kids not to look for outsiders to perform the same activities. We will be able keep an eye on them in this way as well. We should have basketball or any other game tournaments, dance tournaments with the people from different churches, Synagogues etc. where we display our bhangra and giddha and they theirs from their own cultures. Sikhi requires an active participation in the realm of Miri in all aspects of our lives provided it is based on Gurmat values. As I mentioned in my earlier post, theres no Piri without Miri. And Cultural activities are part of Miri which can not be discarded from the place where we learn how to practice both. My 2cent. Tejwant [/QUOTE]
