Hi,
I have today been having a discussion with a guy who I would of said is the same as u or I!!!
But he was saying that he is not the same, his people have been beaten up cause of what he is, goin back to his great great grandparents, great grandparents, grandparents and parents have been treated.. That even now in this present day bot he and his people are being treated in the same way. They are beaten, there women are killed and raped. :o His father was told to sit in the corner of a langar hall cause he was seen as "diffenrent"..
I was mortified to what i was being told and immediatly felt that i needed to justify my own actions, I had to sit back a bit and think I have said nothing bad to him and still respected what he had to say.. i asked him if he should be seen different to me??
"under the umbrella of sikhism which has beeen a failure to my people i am seen as what i preach to younger ones as a '2nd rate sikh' , so if i said im sikh...im different (chumar are indigenous people)"
I asked him if they go to the gurdwara and he said he goes to the temple... I was sooo confused....
What i was trying to expalin to him was what i understood abt Sikhi and those that abuse and reject ppl arent infact sikhs they are jus mere punjbais... at the moment i could go on and on talking abt this...
But for now I would like to hear from sangat in ther views as I have never heard of any such thing occuring,.. I alwayd thoughtthat everyone was equal.. then why has this individual got soooo much hate... ???
I applogise for anything that i may have sed thats out of line...
