its like an incentive for kids and adults alike to keep their kesh covered at all times. It can encourage them to experiment with dastaars. Dont think theres anything wrong with that.

Its a good idea!! For example, Major Singh in india, the whole reason he ties his Dhuamalla so big and heavy is to proove a point that its not hard to wear a dastar!! And the thing is, when kids see him, they feel inspired to try and beat him!! So they grow their kesh and start to keep mahrajs roop for that purpose, on the way learning more and more about sikhi!!

Its a good way of making dastar fun for both kids and adults, ie as opposed to just wearing a hat or a patkha, they get pleasure from tying their dastar!!

Tallest Bunga is usually a good one!! Think we might be holding that comp soon in our local city!!

well its ok to an extent.. as in inspiring people to wear it, but dont want people wearing dastaars JUST for the competition, and losing the true meaning of guru ji's saroop.

yes, this is true also. i know some Singhs n that n they wear the most amazing looking dumaalaas n bana but behind closed doors, they do so many wrong things and nobody suspects a thing because its like they hide behind the bana - its like a defence mechanism so anyone who meets them will be too in awe of their bana and not notice the person inside....

but i know competition does inspire people - and although they may wear it in a "competition" mode for a lil while, they soon grow out of it when they get a bit older and wiser....

This is true. I know of Singhs who do some great seva also but do some horrible things!

To hold a competition is still a good thing and its fun for those who font wear a dastar already but it can b a bad thing. Same with anything though, U can be forced to wear a dastar and then you end up cutting your kesh.

End of the day, who are the future, kids and youth. If we dont make Sikhi slightly appealing to them then we will lose them. If it works the so be it, im not saying go over the top, but moderate allocations such as dastar tying comps, they are ok.

Trust, if there was potential harm and beadbi, i would b first to prevent. So many people already do beadbi of Sikhi Saroop, a competition is not going to hinder this at all unles the person comes in with a flashy starch and / or a trim beard. Thats when the line is drawn.
