At least you are wearing one of the 5 k's. LOL.gif

I think it is important so I can distinguish between people from Sikh backgrounds and those not. I know people will say some people (you know who) wear karay to pull some dumb girls but generally it it is quite accurate to tell if someone is an upna or not.

Plus it is some form of connection to Sikhism.

There is no 'opinion' in it....if you are a Sikh you MUST abide by the tennants laid down by our Guru Ji's....

Of course, most of us don't bother or make excuses up etc etc etc....the usual issue of the 5 vices creep in and we get clouded by Maya...

There is NO opinion however......a Sikh is someone who carries the 5 K's with pride and acknoweldges Maharaji as their true Father...simple as that.

Pretty pointless. Mahraj gave us the five kakars as part of our identity. If you cant abstain from the bujjar kurehit, and cut your hair. Then you are turning your back on mahrajs hukam, then what is the use of wearing a kara. A kara is to show we are handcuffed to mahraj, we are his children, yet you continue to remove the gift of kesh that he has given you.

To abstain from the bujjar kurehits, is the basic foundation of sikhism, then we may keep the identity of a sikh.

Whats your opinions on wearing a kara and not keeping kesh?

If we take the spin out of the question, the answer is dead simple....The same as my opinion on not keeping kes.

What is your opinion on associating with courage while being afraid?... The same as my opinion on being afraid.

What is your opinion on associating with something but having nothing?... The same as my opinion on having nothing.

Those of sikh origin who:

may not have kes but wear a kara,

do nothing else to undermine sikhi,

make an ACTIVE effort to ensure others around them know what a sikh really is to make up for the misleading image they convey, and

can sincerely have the opinions I state above,

have my respect.

Where is this connection when Kesh is being cut?

Monne *need* a way to distinguish themselves from "you know who" (even though it doesnt really work because they also wear karre..)

The reason why Khalsa was given a unique appearance was exactly that: To have a distinct identity.

I find it amusing to see monne's cars with khandas on it etc.. I dont see many Amridhari Singhs doing that - because they don't need to!!

    • 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?
