Amritdhari Women & Non-amritdhari Husbands

[singh70]

Extremists on this forum and outside are now saying that non-amritdharis are not sikhs

Does that mean that amritdhari Sikh women who are married to Non-Amritdhari men are sleeping with non-sikhs?

I know a few Sikh activists who's mothers are amritdhari and their husbands are not.

I'm not an Amritdhari. Not even close. I couldn't even say I'm a Sikh beyond the label handed down to me from my ancestors. I'm willing to listen and learn but even a mona can tell the difference between a good lesson and a bad one.

I wouldn't pay to much heed to those who say and think silly things. Its hard being an Amritdhari, and it was never easy. For some people perhaps it is too much, within our community they get respect, outside of it they get persecution. Is it any wonder that some people may wish to retain the respect they have within the community at all costs? Unfortunately for an even fewer number this means demeaning people who have not made that step yet, a multi class system of sikhs with monas at the top, kesh in the middle and amritdharis at the top.

Amritdharis should lead by an example of tolerance, understanding and discipline of body and mind. If an Amritdhari doesn't show these things, then he/she is wearing the uniform but hasn't undergone the necessary training to teach anyone anything about spiritual matters yet.

Think only god has the right to determine who is sikh and not !. Dont have much love for the extremists, alot of them are confused and making up for insecurities as a child.
