BALJIT44 Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 IS IT RIGHT THAT EVERYONE IS LABELLED A SIKH JUST BECAUSE OF THE COLOUR OF THEIR SKIN. THIS IS BLATANT RACISM AND IMPLYS WE ARE ALL THE SAME. IT IS A DISGRACE AND AN INSULT TO ALL SIKHS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Contemporary 'sikhs' don't realise that the only condition for being a Sikh is to learn from the Guru. Period. They're trying to translate their caste system into a race system whereby only punjabis can be Sikh and only punjabis can marry each other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSG Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 I agree with ragnarok , and just to add we must first realise and understand the definition of a Sikh. We may be born into a "sikh" family but does not make us a Sikh unless we follow the Guru's ( Dhan Dhan sir Guru Granth Sahib Ji ) hukam, live the Rehit of a Sikh and this anyone can follow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is theory reality is anyone born in sikh is considered as sikh unless he/she publicaly renounce his religion.When a Sikh man abandon his turban so many sikhs become emotional at that time do they at that time feel that person was never a sikh and was just wearing turban because he was born in sikh family.also if tommorow 100 born sikhs will convert to islam or christianity then there will be big ho halla in sikh community .Why at that time nobody say that they were never sikh so Sikhs just need not to care 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depend whether you are asking for spiritual or political defination of sikh.. If we go by defination that only a person following Guru is sikh then how many corrupt politicians of Punjab and Akali Dal and how many corrupt Gurdwara officials will qualify as Sikhs? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
