i recently witnessed a marriage of a sikh girl and a black boy in a gurdwara. please give me views on how you feel about this.

also the black boy wanted to become a sikh............but realisticly speaking do you think a black boy would want to become a sikh? this happened in london.

In Sikhism there is no barrier to marrying anyone from different ethnicity / nationality so it is acceptable. Just culturally some may people in the different communities, who might have reservations or objections.

Aslong as the non-sikh embraces Sikhism and Sri Guru Granth Sahib as their eternal Guru..... I dont see a problem.

Wouldnt that make them sikh also?

About the other ethnicity... im pretty sad to hear such comments. It sounds like people dont agree with sikh going with white or black or yellow, orange purple, green... whatever. Sounds like there is still some edgy feelings towards the POSSIBILITY of other ethnic groups actually wanting to be sikh... learn about sikhism, become sikh. Personally, i dont see the problem. I'm what you guys would call a Gori. Forget the fact that im sikh. I'll still remain gori in alot of eyes, not sikh. thats sad. dont insult people from other ethnicities (you dont want someone telling you, you cant marry someone you love because of their colour) come on... especially who are interested in sikhism...

if you want sikhism to spread... open your mind to other ethnicities, and see the character of the person, not the colour. Spread the truth to your brothers and sisters of different backgrounds. Give them a chance... atleast.

Purathansher Singh's Fauj, forgive me bro but thats kinda a racist argument which wont help spread Sikhi like the guru's wanted. Sikhism is universal religion.... but I understand your argument as theirs evidence that the values of the off spring are diluted who still call themselves Sikhs but dont really play active part in community.

do u think we should spread sikhi if we cannot even maintain a good rehat ourselves? we can spread punjabi culture but thats about it.

You'll be suprised the places where Sikhism is being embraced. I have articles and pictures of Mexican, brazialian Sikhs...It's only a matter of time before it breaks away from Punjabi domination and from Punjabi cultural barriers.

In Sikhi there is no barrier that says you can't marry other colours. But I feel that we should sort out our own community first. Many people say that they are Sikhs but when it comes to marriage, these supposed Sikhs revert back to the caste system and refuse marriages.

Lets sort our own problems out first!

Article XVIII

    a. A Sikh man and woman should enter wedlock without giving thought to the prospective        spouse's caste and descent.

    b. A Sikh's daughter must be married to a Sikh.

    c. A Sikh's marriage should be solemnized by Anand marriage rites.

    d. Child marriage is taboo for Sikhs.

    e. When a girl becomes marriageable, physically, emotionally and by virtue of maturity of        character, a suitable Sikh match should be found and she be married to him by Anand        marriage rites.

i don think race matters much aslong as they are both Sikh. how can a nonsikh take part in anadkaraj. if they dont even know wots its about or who Guru Jee actually is.

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
