This is a topic which is being ignored by every one, one only pays attention to it; if it comes to that person. Many of us think that we can wear kirpans in schools of Ontario, we can! but for your knowledge let me tell you it's just a privilage not a right. Means that being a privilage it's just an advantage given to us(sikhs) by the government of Ontario that sikhs can wear only 6 inch kirpan in schools, they can tell us to take it off when ever they think it is a danger to public life (unfortunately this is what they think), but if it is passed as a law that sikhs has the RIGHT to wear kirpans they can not tell us to take it off, no matter where we go in Canada.
Lets take the issue of Gurbaj Singh from montreal , I was so effected by the courage and the love this sikh have for sikhi and for guru ji that he denied to take off his kirpan as a result he is not allowed in school. For more than one year he is studing at his home. He and his family are new immigrants from India, but they are still fighting in courts so that we who were born here( in Canada) and still ignoring this important issue can go in schools wearing kirpans, how unthankful and selfish we are. Here is the link (http://www.sikhs.ca/kirpan/thekirpancase.html ) which tells you the whole story, it deeply effected my heart when i read the story that people could be so racist and unthankful, unthankful because they don't know that if a sikh wears a kirpan he will use it to protect the poor not to chop apples or to show off.
Guru Gobind Singh Ji say :-
If a sikh does not have a shaster with him, he is equal to goat , a sikh should not show
himself to others without a shasters. Now it's up to us that IF WE WANT TO BE A GOAT OR A TIGER (SINGH).
I would like every one to teach their community about sikhs, and five K's don't just tell tey are symbols, they are much more than symbols, get your dasvandh (10% of your income) involved in this issue, otherwise that day is not far when kirpans will be banned in Canada like they did in France.
