mehtab Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 Sikhs and Hindus Similarities : Quite a number of them , plus both started in India Differences : quite a number of them again. Actually some can point out more differences than similarities. One worth mentioning is that while most Hindus try to label everyone as a Hindu, Sikhs refrain to be labelled as anyone but Sikhs. Conclusion : must try to live together in peace (now many will deny this). Sikhs and Muslims Similarities : Many! Differences : Too many! Muslims teach their young kids at an early age how great their faith is and make them feel proud of it. Probably all other communities should start doing the same. Conclusion : Must start educating our kids about Sikhi. Then we won't complain that girls want cleanshaven guys and that guys are cutting hair to fit into society. Sikhs and Christians Similarities : Many! Differences : remarkably many! No other community is known to have done so much humanitarian work as much as certain Christian organizations have done in the past and are still doing today. Conclusion : follow the principle of Sewa and try to do more humanitarian work. Siks and Jews Similarities : Quite an appreciable number! Plus both have known persecution quite well enough. Differences : Some do exist, like circumcision etc. Jews are one type of people who are united more than most communities. Conclusion : Unity is strength. Remain united and dissolve all foolish differences! Purpose of this article : just an attempt to make people aware how much we can learn from other communities rather than pointing fingers at them and distancing ourselves from them. Yes it is alright to be known as what u are and not labelled as someone else. But it is a characteristic feature of wise people to look at good aspects of a person and filter out the negative portion. They look at the virtues of an individual, and try to inculcate those within themselves without being affected or bothered by the vices. Expected response : not expecting many pleasant ones, but still waiting :) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
