I personally know at least 7-8 hindu guys who wear karas just to show-off that they are punjabi coz it sounds cool. Some are from Chandigarh and a few from Mumbai and Delhi and say they have Punjabi roots.

To me it seems those Hindu individuals are despereate to be proud of something, but they don't have a true religion or a glorious history to be proud of so they just wear Karas to join the Sikh league and instead name it Punjabi.

A typical Punjabi Hindu i know wears kara, goes to gurdwara sahib(as he tells us), tries to speak jatt-style pendu punjabi (tho he can't) and never mentions his Hindu stuff coz he's too embarrased to do so among mates but at home he worships his idols and never squanders an opportunity to pass a Sardar Joke or negative comment on Sikhs when among Muslims.

Of all Hindus I know wear Karas just to show off that they are Punjabi and don't want to be categorised along with Indians or Gujratis. They are mere show-ponies.

You know, come to think of it, I've only met less then half a dozen Hindu Punjabis in over 30 years in London. Didn't they migrate in big numbers like Sikhs? Or maybe I just mix in different circles.

Why would they convert? Does anybody, especially in asian community has that rational mind to examine their faith and admit it's flawed. And in those guys' case they do worship their idols, believe in superstitions and stuff like that but are embarrased enough not to mention it coz Muslim mates are quite open in their beliefs and don't really like the Hindu stuff as few friendly debates have revealed. And to add to that Gujratis and Indian girls have also added a lot to their embarrasement.

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
