See sikhi as your creed. Sikhs have their own language, but wisen up.....infrastructures that are more community serving or at least more serving to the larger community should take precedence over infrastructure that benefits only badal.
What I find amazing is how much the politics of identity really inform our paths. Samparda's and jatha's are like organizations people get experience in before they decide on their choice of career (samparda). Again not being critical.
I like dalsingh's post. Valid points are brought forth. The thing is there are multiple worldviews that are in place, simultaneously.
What would a modern singh sabha be? a unified worldview?...is that even possible. Looking at some people who've been on this site earlier; I've noticed 1 instance of a person who had a certain worldview and tried to make sikhi fit their other world view and then the fissure with sikhi was so great that people beared the brunt of that person's reversion. one aspect of sikhs were the enemy to something greater and now the whole sikh panth is....and it is unfortunately so evident that any connection to sikhi is viewed from a viewpoint that is seen through the 'reverted' lens. Is this what we are all in for?
