Are We Ignoring Inter-racial Sikhs?

[sikhlionz]

daas has met a lot of youngsters in schools who have one parent of punjabi sikh origin & another from a different ethnic origin and often have Sikh names.

many times they'll approach you because they are interested in their Sikh background but often nobody has bothered to help them research this. they usually have past negative experiences from the kind of reaction they get from their own parents, family, & our community.

i dont understand why we put such a taboo on discussing this as even as early as 1800s there were people born of Sikh background in Western World, ironically leading the suffragette movement for womens rights.

by ignoring this next generation of Sikhs and not being open to discussing our dharam with insiders let alone outsiders have we lost the core message of Sikhi and how do we adapt?

I ran into this Filipino girl at work that had the last named Singh. I asked her a few times, but she kept saying she was more Filipino. the girl had no interest in punjab or sikhi. its watever people choose.

Many Filipino people have singh name. in 1980s mayor of Manila was Bhagat singh son of Sikh father and Filipino mother.

Reminds me of a Sikh friend of mine introducing himself to his Malaysian classmate.

Him: Whats your name?

Her: Ping.

Him: Hi Ping, I am Singh.

This is an important issue. There are many half Sikh children, we need to make them part of the panth.

That's only if they choose to be, you can't force them to and no one should be forced either.

The only reason they wouldn't want to be Sikhs is if the Sikhs they meet act like 1diots.

lol, we cant please everyone. there is no such thing as 'the only reason' in this: some people just dont like sikhi, and its pretty naive to think that anyone can be converted.
