Justing Keeping Turban, long beard and last name Singh dosn,t make you sikh.

As PALAMRINDER has said "There is a huge difference in getting a sikh name and earning one."

I am saddened by what I read, and I do not understand how anyone with a conscience can do this not intervene to put a stop to this.

it should also be remembered that the Tenth Guru had designated the word of the Granth as the final word of authority binding on all Sikhs.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SIKH, GURSIKH AND GURMUKH................

The Difference Between Sikh, Gursikh And Gurmukh

ik oankar satnaam gurprasad||

Are you a Sikh? Or a GurSikh or a Gurmukh? Or do you like to add Khalsa to your name? All these

words tend to get used interchangeably, but from a spiritual point of view they signify different states of

spiritual progress.

In short :

Manmukh : is one who has no interest in God just himself.

Sikh : believes in God and Gurus, but lacks solid commitment

GurSikh : makes a commitment to the Guru eg getting initiated or coming under guidance of a Sant and

practising whatever gurbani says

GurMukh : has defeated the 5 thieves, becomes enlightened.

Notwithstanding the gold jewellery, colour television set and other finery that served as the price of admission to her husband's middle-class Sikh household, Charanpreet's new relations were not satisfied with the bounty and kept demanding more, according to Charanpreet's relatives and the statement she gave investigators before she died.

The son of a retired army subendar, or junior commissioned officer, Sarabjeet Singh earned a degree from Delhi University, brought home $227 in rupees a month designing catalogues at a computer-graphics company and lived nearby with his parents, brother and sister-in-law.

During a meeting with Sarabjeet's parents at the local gurdwara, or Sikh temple, Charanpreet's parents were so impressed by the young man's credentials and the family's evident piety that they agreed on the marriage then and there, without setting eyes on their future son-in-law.

"They told us our little girl would live like a princess in that house," recalled Paramjit Kaur, a compact, expressivewoman in a satiny blue tunic.

Bearded and handsome beneath his turban, Sarabjeet Singh had a polished, self-confident manner, and he apparently made a good impression when, several months later, he met his wife for the first time, at a ceremony where the two exchanged rings.

Her sister-in-law, Harvinder Kaur , forced her into the bathroom, followed by Charanpreet's husband and father-in-law, who "started pouring kerosene oil all over from a plastic bottle."
