ur right it doesnt but they still look cool ;)

:cool:

well about the buying a new pair... why buy a new one when the one with the nala will last a lifetime?


Haha...spoken like a true Indian :}{}{}: I'm sure Russel Peters could think of a few minutes of patter with that one...

"We're cheap enough on the whole...I just think that kaschaera-wearing people take it to a whole 'nother level..." :rofl!!:

Hehe...to be honest, that's kinda the reason I wear leather jackets. Because it lasts. And coz it looks cool. I just don't see myself flashing my undies in public any time soon :8-:)

dude i meant when u NEED to scare thats when u do it. Imagine this, some guys about to attack u and he sees ur kirpan (or u pull it out or sumtin) he gets scared and backs away... isnt this peace?


Let's just say I'd feel more comfortable if everyone wasn't going around with lethal weapons.

My kara's enough of a weapon. Then there's my fifteen years of experience in tae-kwon-do, muay thai, karate and nintai jitsu.

Seriously, that's the reason we have a group of people known as police men. They exist so that we don't have to carry swords like we did in the feudal states of 16th century India. But if you need a weapon, a can of mace or a chunk of keys or your metal bracelet will do the job.

Wait, let me guess...they look like the product that Jaguar would produce if they ever opened a clothing line? ;)

Bhagat Singh,

I hope you don't mind me saying, but you look better in that pagh than the one in the previous picture.

Plus stay away from Bollywood films, they will rot your brains....lol

thanks lol that old pic's a year old

the reason i want to get in to bollywood films and portray a good sikh image is that whatever ppl in india know about sikhs... its all from bollywood... they litereally think sikhs are dim witted idiots who are always happy and always joking and s*** like that

so if we can change that than i think us sikhs have made some progress

Having nothing pressing to do tonight, I have read this whole thread from over the last two years. I have never posted anything here before and maybe I should refrain now, since none of you know me and I should make a good first impression. And being a woman in my 50's perhaps I should show a little more dignity. However, since I can't resist:
I have worn any type of underwear you can imagine, and nothing is anywhere as comfortable as kechera.​


A young man in full Khalsa dress is an incredibly attractive masculine sight for this woman to see, and​


I did a lot of fencing when I was young, and believe me, hair flopping around or coming lose in a sword fight is a complete disaster.​

Sat sri akal!!
This is my first post. I have a query. We say "Sab sikhan ko hukum hai, Guru maaniyo Granth"
in our ardaas daily. Is their any qote in Sri Guru Granth Saheb, which says that Sikhs should not even trim their hair?
If everything in our religion is based on scientific reasons, can anyone tell me what is the reason to not maintaining your hair by trimming it?
Hair is meant for protection of our head and other reasons exist, true, but these factors still remain if you do not shave your head.
With the increasing pollution and work stress, there is increasing hair fall which troubles you more when you cannot do anything to your hair.
Guru Nanak Dev ji never laid down any such rules to differentiate Sikhs from others.
Are we following this just to maintain this difference from others?
Sikhism is based on pure thoughts and is free from unnecessary rituals or show offs...
Please tell if this is written in Guru Granth Saheb that no Sikh is allowed to cut/trim his/her hair.

From what I was taught it was the failure of Delhi Sikhs to come forward at the challenge by Mogul soldiers to claim their Guru's body after his public execution that prompted Dasmesh Pita to make Sikhs stick out (niarapun) so that they could not hide their faith like Judas.

It worked, within a few generations, Singhs were terrorising the Moghuls and bravely took control of the Panjab not only against Mogul resistance buy also Afghan and Persian.

I knew that Sikh's can't cut their hair if they are following the 5 Ks.

However I didn't know that they had to tie their hair in a specific manner.

They don't but in battle you can't have open hair you know, you'll either try to control your hair or fight, that's why even the female sikh warriors had turbans.

WJKK WJKF Preeti Ji,

If everything in our religion is based on scientific reasons, can anyone tell me what is the reason to not maintaining your hair by trimming it?

Yes everything is based on logic and scientific reasons. You don't have to trim your hair to maintain them, that's not really maintaining now is it? Maintaining is washing it 1-3 times per week and combing it twice a day and keeping them covered.

Thats like saying I maintain my body by trimming off bits. Whenever I get fat, I simply cut off the excess. :rofl!!: WOW

Hair is meant for protection of our head and other reasons exist, true, but these factors still remain if you do not shave your head.

You are starting to catch on. :) Let me add, that these factors will still remain even if you do not trim your hair.


With the increasing pollution and work stress, there is increasing hair fall which troubles you more when you cannot do anything to your hair.

Which is why, us sikhs wear turbans you know. :cool:


Guru Nanak Dev ji never laid down any such rules to differentiate Sikhs from others.

Guru Gobind SIngh Ji, the tenth master did.


Are we following this just to maintain this difference from others?

YES and NO. It depends. Some even do it because their parents stress it. Personally I love my long hair.:cool:


Sikhism is based on pure thoughts and is free from unnecessary rituals or show offs...

Unecessary? What are you calling unecessary?:shock: Trimming off hair is unneccesary!


Please tell if this is written in Guru Granth Saheb that no Sikh is allowed to cut/trim his/her hair.

This is where Guru Gobind Singh Ji comes in. :}{}{}:

It is only when you understand the religion properly, will you realize the importance of keeping unshorn hair. :)

It seems that no one has clearly answered Preeti Ji's question.

This is beating around the bush. I'd like a clear answer, too.
Please?
