Gurfatehji,

Did you try and reason it out with that person on duty? Just tell him that a small kirpan can bring no one to harm! They may know all of this but at times pretend ignorant.

Sigh... such is world *doh dhaari talwar*

Bhul chuk maaf karni ji!

i'm sorry to sound cynical but if the kirpans that amritdharis wear can't hurt anyone, then what's the point of it? i thought the kirpan was to protect other's and one's honor. walking around with a mere symbol, isn't that the equivalent of a janeoo, the holy thread brahmins wear?

the kirpan is just like a pistol that policemen have on them, its for protection. i would hate to be in trouble and the police shows up with fake guns and can't help me.

i know i might tick people off with this post, but i'm honestly lost on these explanations given to media, because when non-sikhs ask about the 5 k's, it's seems kind of insulting to describe the kirpan, which guru sahib gave his sikhs, like some butter knife that can't hurt a fly.

these are the same sikhs praised for their skill with the kirpan, how they wielded them in battle, with such grace and glory that even the enemy praised their martial spirit and prowess.

i don't know...i just feel that we are giving people a disrespectful definition of the kirpan. if a sikh can carry the shabad with him, which can pierce the mind, fer oh sipahi kaada, what kind of sipahi is he/she whose kirpan can't pierce the flesh?

if a person is wearing a dull kirpan just for show, then why not take it off and enter a courthouse? having a dull and harmless kirpan is just like not having one at all.

that's why back in the day no one messed with the sikhs, because along with a sharp mind, they had sharp kirpaans.

peace.

at the end of day, kirpan is register as article of faith not an weapon to defend oneself or others in charter of rights...and why is register as article of faith? good question, only explanation i can think is kirpan serves multi purposes for eg- ceremonial dagger (kirpan bheta to bhog and langar for maharaj and sangat).

Amongst the upstanding sheriffs and law enforcement members in North America, there are also many morons who carry deadly weapons with the authority and blessings to use them. There are huge lapses in recruiting, resulting in law enforcement members who have anger problems, are steroid monkeys, or otherwise have unsuitable temperaments to carry weapons or use force.

There are everyday instances where the line is crossed and the media reports. There are also everyday abuses which never get past the investigation, most of which are internal (aka coverups). Ask a few honest friends in these professions as to who their co-workers really are.

THESE PEOPLE ARE FAR MORE LIKELY AND FAR MORE OFTEN DO USE UNWARRANTED AND EXCESSIVE FORCE ON VISIBLE MINORITIES SUCH AS SIKHS.

So where is the ongoing debate about who is recruited for law enforcement and is permitted to carry a loaded gun? Where is the ongoing debate about sheriffs in courthouses and whether they are suitable and safe for their positions? Where is the ongoing debate about increased risk faced by minorities?

Of course safety is an economic consideration and if sheriffs are only paid x$/hour then the pool of candidates who are truly suitable is more limited. The steroid monkey with elevated testosterone is suitable because the taxpayer in Canada or the U.S. would rather contribute to his own next gadget lifestyle than compensate for the increased risk faced by minorities from the very people who should be protecting them.

Did I hear someone say the word "balance"!

Make it mandatory for law enforcement in the country to learn and live the values and practices of the Khalsa, all else will fall in place, including the demented mindset of the ignorant.

    • 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?
