[QUOTE="harbansj24, post: 115216, member: 4544"] Recent articles by persons like Soul_jyot ji, Kanwardeep Singh ji, etc show an alarming trend towards depravity among Sikhs which run counter to basic tenets of Sikhism as propounded by our Gurus. Some of the areas of widespread concern are: [LIST] [*]Illtreatment of women and female infanticide & foeticide. [*]Discrimination based on caste [*]Consumption of intoxitants [*]unethical business practices and cheating [*]Inability to work as a team [*]Flaunting of wealth and Power [*]Open and proud display of wrongdoing and [I]daring anyone to anything about it[/I] [*]Gluttonous consumption of food and alcohol [*]Prone to use violence and abusive language on the slightest pretext. [/LIST]This is just an illustration. These may not be peculiar only to the Sikhs but is certainly widespread among them and Sikhs being a visible community, it also gets highlighted. And it becomes all the more serious as each and every of the above traits specifically negates the basic philosophy of our Gurus. [I]But why are we so afflicted and why is it growing?[/I] It may be easy to dismiss it by saying that we are becomming materialistic. [I]But why are we becomming so materialistic[/I] inspite of being Sikhs? Is it because we are turning the concepts of Chardikalan, fearlessness, leadership, No superstition on their head and completely misinterpreting them to suit our selfish interests? For instance Chardikalan is a spiritually blissful state of acceptance of Hukam. But it is being misinterpreted as a licence for enjoying worldly pleasures whatever may be the means! And when it is said that we should be fearless leaders or Sardars it was meant that we should lead in speaking and fighting against wrong acts [I]but we have taken it to mean that we must be always leaders and never ordinary team members even if we do not have the ability![/I] In my humble and very unintellectual view these are very serious issues for us to introspect. On introspection, I quote what Narayanjot ji said in an earlier post some time back: [/QUOTE]
