Re: Caste System: Are Sikhs hypocrite?
Jas004:- You have questioned integrity of our Gurus. Perhaps you don't know that Gurus were subjected to horrid tortures, beheaded, and their entire family including infant children first bricked up alive and then beheaded. They did this for their sikhs and not for themselves. They turned down gover...

Re: Caste System: Are Sikhs hypocrite?
A different perspective. Strictly speaking, Jatt is not a caste. It is a tribe, outside the caste system. More of an out caste. Our Gurus abolished the caste system and gave Jatts an equal status. Jatts claimed equality by shouting superiority in defiance. That is, no way am I your inferior, I fact ...

Re: Sikh Marriages and Alcohol/Non-Veg
I have been to wedding of Amritdhari couple who decided to have no other ceremony apart from Lavan and food was langar in gurdwara.

Re: Discrimination from family members based on my skin colo
Stay resolute. I would not tell my mum. It would hurt her to see you in pain. Waheguru made you. Wear that thought proudly. There are many flowers in waheguru's garden all different and beautiful in their own way. Let your fragrance, the path you have chosen, speak for you. Very soon your chachi and...

Re: In-laws and traditions
I do understand your sentiment about the cards and messages of good will, therein. Number of ways to approach. 1: you would like to see the messages of good will/wishes from your friends and new relations you have from husband's side. Answer might be that cards have been thrown away or only a few ha...

Re: In-laws and traditions
Gifts given directly would be kept. I.e. Parents, siblings, other relations etc given clothes or items or jewellery handed over directly would be kept by the individual. That is the person giving wishes it to be so. Keeping gift intended for other person would be, well confiscation etc. However, the...

Re: Serving meat after House Kirtan
In my opinion it is plain wrong. As for evidence, you will not find sufficient evidence to satisfy you just as you will not find strong enough evidence on existence of god. It is all a matter of faith and belief. I understand that Some cultures within the Sikh faith do take part in zatka. At the end...

Re: Is Lab-grown Meat Allowed in Sikhi?
In my view it is actual killing, taking life that is wrong. Being greedy and lusting after taste of any food etc. Is perhaps also wrong. As for lab grown meat, it could be biologically undesirable to consume - processes used may have safety issues. Personally, I would not recommend it until it has b...

Re: Why did the Gurus marry only into Khatri caste?
Marriage proposal has to be made and also accepted. Maybe, only Kshatri parents came to gurus with a marriage proposal? Conversely, maybe girl's parents turned the gurus down. Normally a third party would be involved, called match makers. These guys look at boy, girl family etc and after coming to c...
