For a faith that has in many ways been based on the irrelevance of caste, Sikhs spend a lot of time obsessing over it. The latest trend in caste oneupsmanship is to pour over our history and start splitting the great Sikh personalities by caste. I guess that way I can have my heroes and you can have your heroes. The sheer lunacy and stupidity of these and other caste-based arguments are blown wide open in this great new video. Again, I'm increasingly impressed with what Sikh youth in Punjab are doing with cheap accessible digital video technology and their own sheer creativity. |
