to fight against racism like pakistanis attacks on sikhs in england

or gora attack on sikhs in australia

or fight against drugs

I think when a sense of seeking Justice builds up in our minds then we can organize ourselves and confront these issue. However due to maya ( materialistic addictions) this sense of justice does not exist in our minds. We are willing to take injustices as long we are not victims.

most ppl just care about themselves

[PL2009]

It is simple really....sikhs need to stop being so judgmental and hating on those sikhs who don't wear a turban.

[dalsingh101]

Judgmentalism is a key issue here. The reason we are not united is because of ego/haumai/hankaar.

We are constantly trying to make ourselves out to be better than each other. Once his stops all wil fall in place.

[Ranjeet]

The biggest injustices to Sikhs is done by ourselves, we do injustices to ourselves.

We Sikhs are our own worst enemies, we cut our nose to spite our faces, we would help an outsider but will backstab our own without a moments notice, there is no trust within our quam.

If there is no trust, there can be no unity. If I see a Singh get attacked, I will help my brother, but will he help me if the situations are reversed?

It is simple really....sikhs need to stop being so judgmental and hating on those sikhs who don't wear a turban.

playing devils advocate, why don't all the people who cut their hair become singhs?

[Ranjeet]

there is an Arabic saying: "I against my brother; my brother and I against my cousin; I, my brother, and my cousin against the stranger".

We as Sikhs may have to adopt something similar to this, ie to put our petty differences to one side and do what's best for the quam

How can anything other than being realistic help with unity? Besides from what I have seen, being keshdhari or not doesn't relate to how people act right now.

There are monay that would react braver on seeing a Singh attacked than many keshdhari and even amritdharis.

Jujhar, you're missing the point. The fact is that unity cannot happen unless we learn to accept differences to a much higher degree to what we are doing now.

[Jujhar Singh]

but the pressure is always on singhs to make peace and unite with moneh right? why can't moneh become singh's then? why do kesdharis have to change?
