[QUOTE="Ambarsaria, post: 156780, member: 14194"] Just some observations if these add to the discourse. [COLOR=Blue][I]Bhain ji I just share my understanding from many years back. I used to bike past a school on GT Road in Amritsar going towards Khalsa College Amritsar. There was a school and such school trained future Kirtananiaen. [/I][I]I was told that much emphasis was placed in giving opportunity to people from so called lower classes and including some with handicaps like being blind.[/I][/COLOR] [COLOR=Blue][I]Much through the land the man had traditionally assumed or was assigned or expected to be performing the role of bread winner for the family. So when I see a person doing Kirtan, specially originating from India, I see it as a job of winning bread for the family. Kirtan is a job too for such people. As times change and women get more recognized, rightfully at times, the main bread winner, I am sure the society including Sikhs will change or be left behind. I believe it is OK to blame Punjabi culture, I challenge people to show how it is markedly different in Western culture. It for sure is not as bad by a large measure, but rarely have I seen cases of men getting child support payments or custody and even in joint custody rarely is monetary award to a man. Things are changing for the better and I believe it is important also to note some such observations. [/I][/COLOR] [COLOR=Blue][I]Bhain ji I agree 110% with you on the above. I read it the same way and I kept my comments inside though quite perturbed to read it. Much needs to be reviewed in SRM.[/I][/COLOR] [COLOR=Blue][I]Veer ji thanks for your post[/I][I]. I am much familiar with Gurbani line you quoted as my father provided written testimony along those lines when a man tried to somehow show a court in divorce and custody proceedings that only a Sikh man is capable of raising a son. The judge sided with the mother and thoroughly rebuked the father. However, equally your general post and Navdeep88 ji's post (Re: Few females in most admired thread) raise interesting point. How many times a man has been identified in public to have raised a good son or daughter? I know of very few to none. Are men that oblivious in the raising of children? I don't know but I just again pose it for scratching our heads, as I sure am! [COLOR=Black] [/COLOR][/I][COLOR=Black]I don't want to generalize but, I will suggest that men and women in Sikhi, and in Punjabi culture, are no different than men and women in any other religion in India if not in most other religions and places in the world. It may be overt in some places and hidden in others. Sat Sri Akal. [/COLOR][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
