you not much of a sikh scholar, if ur calling all of the singhs n singhnia stupid for hving the guts to abandon, caste/ family / inherited names. with kirpa i will be takin amrit in feb, so first thing ill do is get rid of my third name.
ps there are many ways to protect urself against identity theft, i dont think anything should get in the way of choices about dharma, this world does not belong to the political people, nor does it belong to the canadian imigration system, we are not slaves, no one but our father can tell us what to do or what not too, we live in the Will of Akal Purakh....... so dont go on about getting into canada the world doesnt revolve around it u know........ :nihungsmile: :nihungsmile:

Why don't you use Khalsa as surname? Once you take Amrit your name is Singh and your home is Sri Anandpuhr Sahib but all this identity stuff, i think alot of it is to do with castes etc, thats why they keep it.
and caste has nothing to do with sikhy
SO IF SOMEONE CALLED JOHN SMITH BECAME SIKH AND CALLED HIMSELF JOHN SINGH SMITH THAT'S WRONG BY YOUR BRAIN CALCULATION. AND YOUR BRAIN SAY'S SMITH IS HIS CASTE NAME. YOU REALLY ARE STUPID.
THERE IS NOTHING IN THE GURU GRANTH SAHIB THAT SAYS THAT YOU CAN'T HAVE A THIRD NAME/FAMILY.
AND YOU ARE MAKING NEW RULES UP THAT ARE NOT IN THE GURU GRANTH SAHIB WHICH MEANS YOU ARE HERETICS AND WILL GO TO HELL.
SOME OF THE GREATEST WARRIORS IN SIKH HISTORY HAD THIRD NAMES/FAMILY NAMES:
1. JASSA SINGH AHULWALIA
2. JASSA SINGH RAMGARHIA
ARE YOU SAYING THEY WERE NOT SIKHS AND ARE WRONG TO HAVE THIRD/FAMILY NAMES?????????
YOU REALLY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT SIKHISM OR SIKH HISTORY - YOU ARE JUST MAKING THIS UP AS YOU GO ALONG.
YOU TELL JASSA SINGH AHULWALIA & JASSA SINGH RAMGARHIA THAT THEY WERE WRONG TO HAVE THIRD/FAMILY NAMES - THEY ARE MORE SIKH THAN YOU WILL EVER BE IN 100000000 LIFE TIMES!!!!!!!!!
YOU REALLY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT SIKHISM OR SIKH HISTORY.
