Are Sikhs Cowards?

Hello to everyone,

I want to ask a question. Are sikhs that live in the UK - cowards?

I wanted to raise this issue, because from what i have seen, i believe that we have all become cowards. You hear of racist attacks on sikh youth by racist communities in colleges, universities and school. We do not have any way of fighting back, the simple reason is that we do not have any UNITY within our community at all!

Look around and see what is happening! Our gurdwaras don't teach us anything about sikhism, our youth can't understand what happens at the gurdwara. Maharaj Guru Gobind Singh Ji gave us names like 'singh' and 'kaur' to eliminiate caste, yet we all bring up caste i.e. jat, bhatra etc WHY?

Our boys are into drugs, booze etc Our girls are going out with muslims without a care in the world. our gurwara halls are used to eat meat, drink and dance to lewd songs! WHY?

Our beloved Sahibzaade gave up their lives (7 and 9 year old children) surrounded by mughal armies, yet they did not give up their faith. today we get scared by a couple of racist muslims. WHY?

I believe that we are slowly becoming like a scared community, who can only fight amongst themselves! I really believe that we need to get a grip NOW, before it is too late!!

I apologise if I have offended anyone

Thanks,

Is it really that bad in the UK? blink.gif

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Sangat Ji, cowards are only those who do not fight against evil or oppression and who do not stand for what they believe in. Those sikhs in the UK who have been brave enough to take Amrit and keep the khalsa roop are truely brave as in this day and age it can be scary to really give your head to the Guru. When you have truely given your head to the Guru your fears would have been destroyed, im still fighting the daily battle to become fearless, the strength to become fearless only comes from waheguru as stated in the mool mantar

"Nirabho"

But sangat ji we also have to become "with gurujis kirpa"

"Nirvair"

By meditating on the Gun of Waheguru we can be come strong and fearless

Spoken like a budda :) aka "In my day things were different...."

I think roop33 was asking questions of the whole Sikh community which your generation is also present in, and dont forget its probably your generation that leads these people you condemn... here was roop33 asking for unity and you've coming along and made a generation divide ;)

I think every community has problems and we cant go back to the mob/gang mentality of decades ago because firstly its illegal and secondly look where thats turned out? but at the time it was needed...

Every community has problems... and I agree its our lack of unity in the UK that has magnified it.

I maybe a Buddha but there is certainly truth to the point.....

It wasn't that "In my day things were different...."....it's just that we had no choice.......today kids have a lot of choice and they choose not to stand up for truth and justice anymore but for idiotic issues....as I stated above....

As long as their is Gurbani, there will always be brave Sikhs.

However the majority of the community is brave too man

our girls flirt on the roads, and smoke on the streets without fear of bhesti lol

they dress, and expose asstes without no shame and fear of bhesti lol

our boys r the bravest drinkers lol

our commitees have to be the bravest for disrespecting Guru ji and taking mick out of the Gurus estate.

come on give the punjabi people a break they are brave in ther own way.

our gurdwaras estates r becoming clubs, the women dress like they posing in brotherls when they come to gurdwra man.

listen im not naive i know what goes on and yes there are men and women who act like they dont care with a serious attitude problem..men showing off their latest designer trim beard and women showing off their latest dresses BUT what annoys me is the generalisation going on here, its seriously annoying........anyway if these people go to the gurdwara think of it as an opportunity to educate them instead of giving them looks and talking behind their back...........gossiping in gurdwara's also p!sses me off!

the problem is that we lack the skills to teach our own!

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
