^thank you for all the new info

Good job by those guys stopping this Anand karaj. Shame on the gyani for ignoring Akal Takhts hukamnama. It had nothing to do with color of skin as said in the newspaper.

But they had no business going to wherever the legal marriage was taking place and trying to stop that.

Please do try to think and reply. So a Sikh woman who doesnot cover her head with a dastar CANNOT say "she is a Sikh."

I didn't say that. What I said is that this is the excuse they use to not wear a cap, but yet don't wear a turban. To me, it's an idiotic excuse

Because," Their head was bare to begin with," so according to your logic, it is alright for Sikh women

to cover their bare heads with caps, eh?

I didn't say it's ok. But their argument against this law is "we are Sikhs" right? But Sikhs cover their head with Dastars no? So, if the woman is not covering her head with a dastar, yet says she is a Sikh and that is why she won't wear a cap just doesn't make sense to me.

They should either put on turbans, or quit their bitching and wear a cap

I'm probably wrong, as I don't know very much about this, but I always thought that since literally everyone at that time period knew these stories about the Hindu dieties, Guruji just used them as an example to show Waheguruji's power, and that the stories were never true, he was just using them as an example.

Would you prefer a better twister..........if i find one i will surely pass it your way.

I don't know what you mean

As long as Singhs don't start doing the "Blue Steel" look in the streets... :biggrin2:

Hahahahahaha

In your mind which law is superior? Before you answer read this:

He who as a Sikh places a hat on their head; will be reborn seven times as a leper.

Thankhaanama Bhai Nand Laal Jee

But it ok to not wear a dastar?

Obviously this is not so simple. If the women are not wearing a dastar anyway, they really shouldn't be complaining, because the cap is not replacing a dastar. Their head was bare to begin with.

Now if this law requires women who wear Dastars to now wear a cap, there is a big problem here, but no one actually knows if this is true.

Everybody calm down. Alcohol is a chemical compound that contains an OH (hydroxyl) group. The type of alcohol that is in beers and stuff is called ethanol.

There are many alcohols. Butanol, methanol, etc.

Alcohol is present in all foods we eat in the form of an amino acid, which contains the hydroxyl group. This is basic chemistry.

In the article, it says nothing about what kind of alcohol is in the coke. Anyway, you should be much more concerned about the amount of sugar in coke and pepsi, since that is much more harmful than whatever minute traces of alcohol they found

You can wear a small one and wear the gatra in the gun holster style, and tie a kamarkarsa around it so it wont move

Too big a chance of beadbi. Too risky to keep Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji there.

Jury discharge means that for some reason the Jury has been found incapable of passing a fair verdict, because they might be biased.

For example, here in the US there is a trial of Roger Clemens going on. He's a former baseball player. So if the jury was made up of people who are baseball fans, they would be biased and wouldn't be capable of passing a fair verdict. So they discharge the jury and then pick a new one.

Disgusting stuff.

And you disgust me as well Borat. Thankfully in the West as more and more people are being born outside of India, this problem is beginning to go away. But tackling this problem in Punjab will be very difficult. Eventually it comes down to changing the mindset of the youth.

Several eye witnesses have made claims that Amitabh Bachchan (a close friend of Rajiv Ghandi) was the first to incite the killings of Sikhs. Despite this, the Delhi High Courts refuse to take any action.

Well, isn't there a statute of limitations on crimes? So they probably can't try him now anyway

Did they have to remove kirpans before going in White House?

Why do you have a knot in your keski? Unless you are tying patka style. Tie without knot

Tie it medium...not too loose or tight. Then wear a keski. That way it wont open

Yes. Shabash indeed to a Sikh who won the right to wear his kara yet works for an agency which continues to tell Sikh flyers to remove their Karas and Dastars.

Shabash indeed

3 things you can do

1. Do nothing, ignore

2. Confront them and tell them to stop

3. Take out your phone and follow them

Taking pictures of them (my favorite)

^{can I wear a kara with both my son's father's name and my son's name inscribed in punjab inside the kara when neither I nor my son is sikh. Would that be acceptable?}

You cannot inscribe anything to a Kara. Kara is meant to be unbroken and have no imperfections like engravings or openings.

As for whether you can wear if you aren't a Sikh...read this thread entirely then decide

Interesting stuff. I remember a story where Guru Hargonind Ji'a dastaar was a few feet tall. In the pictures they all wear small, similarly shaped Dastars, but it is safe to say they were probably Dhamala's

Dhamala literally means "2 cloths", so there are many different styles. They were different from today's Nihang styles obviously.

In the UK, you see a lot of Sikhs wearing Dhamalas, whereas in India, it is only worn by certain Jathas and Nihangs. Here in the US, basically everyone ties some variant of the Patiala Shahi style, except a little smaller. Occasionally you see someone wearing a Gol Dastar or even more rarely a Dhamala. I've only seen Dhamalas at the New York Sikh Parade (Nagar kirtan) and I think people had just tied it for special purposes there

Satguru Sri Guru Gobind SIngh Sahib ji Maharaj did not wear a Kalgi because he is a king, but because Mughals were not allowing ANYONE to wear, other than themselves, 'king' attire. Satguru Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib ji Maharaj is the king of all creation, he wore this attire to show the Mughals, no one in this world will be subject to their oppression. Our Gurus lives are

Haha Man why didn't you say this the first time? Now I understand. Thank you
