So, what i am going to write is not my <strong>OPINION</strong>.</p><p></p><p>I am learning about Sikhism from the last 4 years now and i found it amazing. I will not say that i know everything but i try to imbibe Guru's teachings and follow the path shown by Gurbani. I also know that if you love <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikhism" target="_blank">Sikhism</a> and want to follow it then first step is having kesh and turban.

[QUOTE="Raman Suri, post: 220665, member: 23338"] [SIZE=5][B][U] Introduction[/U][/B][/SIZE] This is the first blog of this series where i will discuss about primary reasons of decreasing Sikh population in India and world. I had to start this with Sikh girls as they are the primary reason for it. Yes, you heard it right!! There are other reasons as well for it and will be discussed in the upcoming blogs.

I analysed the thinking of 70 Sikh girls(Aged between 16 to 28) of different parts of India and from mixed classes(Poor, Middle, Upper Middle and Affluent). Then, I analysed 80 Sikh girls from outside India(US, Canada, UK and Australia). I had a criteria for this that their father must have hairs and wears turban and all these girls are unmarried. So, what i am going to write is not my [B]OPINION[/B]. I am learning about Sikhism from the last 4 years now and i found it amazing. I will not say that i know everything but i try to imbibe Guru's teachings and follow the path shown by Gurbani. I also know that if you love [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikhism']Sikhism[/URL] and want to follow it then first step is having kesh and turban. It is the opening door and which encourages you to be as god created you. [SIZE=5][B][U]Discussion [/U][/B][/SIZE] As we all know that we(Sikhs) are only 1.8% of the total population in India and when our kids go out they seldom meet people of the same religion. India's culture is very much influenced by western culture. In schools and colleges, the students are more concerned about their relationship status instead of their studies and getting into relationship has the foremost criteria that is good looks, good looks and good looks(this is said by a Sikh girl). Lets start with the questions i asked to these girls during our discussion. [B]Question 1: What they think about Sikh Boys who wears turban?[/B] Now, I asked these girls that what they think about Sikh boys who wears turban. Approximately, all of 70 girls from India said they are helping, Jolly in nature, makes you laugh, Foodie, loves bhangra, Never Smokes, Aggressive, Sweet etc. So far all good!! [B]Question 2 : Will you accept Sikh boys as your husband? NOTE: I am asking this to Sikh girls. Embarassing😓[/B] Responses shocked me. Response of a Sikh girl of Punjab whose parents are Amritdhari Sikhs. She said my friends who also belongs to a Sikh family married to handsome Hindu boys from Himachal Pradesh. I also want to marry handsome non turban boy with good hair style. That's her criteria for a husband. Some told me that they like clean shaven men. 26 out of 70 told me they only want sardar guy, that is around 40 percent. Few told me, they look for compatibility irrespective of religion. 4 girls said they are atheist. Later on, after heated up discussion, they agreed and said they don't want to marry a turban wearing guy and want to do love marriage. Out of 80 outsiders, only 20 said they wont mind marrying Turban wearing guy. Some said they will go for cut-surd or punjabi guy not turban wearing. But most does not care about it. That's the harsh truth and negatives of living in western countries. These answers were very disappointing and it is shocking to see what mentality these girls have who have been brought up in a family where their father and brothers wears turban. [B]Question 3: Tell me the name of 10 sikh gurus? 90% Failed[/B]. This is reality. They actually don't know who they are and what kind of history we have. They don't know meaning of [B]kaur [/B]and who gave this to them. They can't even recite MOOL MANTRA at the age of 25 - 28. I don't know what their parents are doing. What kind of freedom it is. They don't know properly that why we wear Turban. They don't know why we celebrate [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaisakhi']Vaisakhi[/URL]. They don't have pride in their own religion. They don'y know what happened in 1984. [B]Very Disappointing!! :( Few more things..[/B] A Guy(Hindu) says, Sikh girls are the most easy girls to hit on at clubs. If you are average looking and know how to talk and use cheesy lines in between then you can get them. In clubs, he always looks for girls having kaur in their names, he added. This kind of image they have about sikh girls and becomes true when you actually see it happening. #WakeUpCall Falling in love with other(Non Sikh) guys in corporate or doing job.Sikh girls have reputation which they get from our history and they dont know and other's take advantage of it.

[B]They need to understand that the people who killed your ancestors, you are giving birth to their children. They need to understand that when they marry a Non-Sikh, they kill a whole generation of Sikh and takes other's generation forward. Thanks[/B] [/QUOTE]
