Punjabi Sikh Girls Plight

[guptkuri]

As a Sikh I am equal to any guy but as a punjabi, my brother shall always be better than me. I grew up as more of a Punjabi, than a Sikh but I still would fight for my equality. I was never tied down by the inequalities but at same time as a girl, I put my parents on a very high pedistole. Till this day I breakdown even at the thought of going against my parents, even for a good cause. I just can't see them hurt, even if they are wrong. As a Sikh I have many dreams of what I want to do for my panth but as a punjabi I am tied down by culture barriers. It would hurt my parents if I went against them and broke the culture barriers and I don't want to hurt them. I would rather slowly move forward in my life with my family, then create ill will. I can't help but wonder if I was a boy would they hold me back the same, have the same effect on me?

I might not be able to do much because I am scared of pushing buttons with my parents but I have many dreams. I would like to put them out there, so anybody in position to make them come true, can try.

• Hiring or finding volunteers to gaurd to the widows colony. So they have protection when going to court dates and also people to keep the drugs out of the colony. Currently there are people that have fallen to the extent to giving drugs out for free to ruin the youth in widows colony. So something must be done to protect those that have already suffered so much.
• Starting a similar effort to breast cancer awareness they have in the states. Not only does it raise awareness with all the people wearing clothing reminding themselves and others of breast cancer, it also raise funds to make a difference. If we can find some creative people to put togather a line of clothing to honor the victims of 1984 genocide, we can make sure it is never forgotten and find a way to support them without begging for donations.
• Organizing a march around the world on the same day to show the unity of Sikhs on getting justice for 1984. Not a march a khalistan but a march for justice to get the culprits punished.

I will add more as I remember. I feel helpless as I can't do anything but I hope all will do ardass for me so one day I can be free of this bond of mouh and do something for my panth.

In My Opinion,

Look at the blessings within. The pen is a Mighty Sword. Use the pen to write those words that can inspire countless. Be Inspired Yourself! Who Knows! Countless might read your words who then can make the maneuvers necessary for Sikh Chardhi Kala Worldwide !! Each one is unique. Not everything is to be done physically. If Sevaa is needed somewhere which requires an army of Sevaadaars; then someones are needed to strategize too. Be an articulate strategic. The Pen is Mighty Mighty.

There is no need to wonder what the scenario would be otherwise. Break the barriers of culture within the comfort zone of yourself, teeter tottering the various balances needed for a balanced life including your family. It takes time sometimes. But that doesn’t mean one should not do anything if their minds, hearts and spirit desireth otherwise. But keep the balance. You do not want to hurt your parents; simple; don’t. But at the same time, you can surely do something for the Panth if that is what you desire. The Pen is Mighty Mighty.

The ideas you are sharing are what Is needed. There are some who want to do something, but don’t know what to do. The more awareness there is about issues worldwide, the better! The Pen Is Mighty Mighty. Write about the Widow Colony and go to various websites informing the World. They don’t have to be Sikh websites! Inform The World! You can do it from Home! The Pen Is Mighty Mighty!

Share the ideas! Make the World Aware! Don’t be disappointed if you feel you didn’t succeed! Sometimes fruits come later! And sometimes sooner! You plant the seeds you wish! The Pen Is Mighty Mighty!

To Make A Worldwide March to bring attention to the Atrocities, Pogroms, Genocides, Injustices On The Beautiful People Of The Sikh Faith requires World Wide Attention So People OF ALL BACKGROUNDS, RELIGIONS, ETC! are aware! The Pen Is Mighty Mighty!

Don’t Feel Helpless! You Are Already Helping!

Most important! If you’re ever feeling down! Look Within! And Inspire Yourself Within, Within Your Situation(s)!

You can do A Lot! And You Will!

Keep Safe!

Chardhi Kalaa !!!

You are doing what you need to do. It takes guts to write the things you write... and freeing sikhism from the shackles of culture is a very hard business... but if someone doesn't what future can this religion have? The sikh faith is in dire need of people like you who are willing to stand up and fight to purify sikhism back to the pristine and pure religion of the Gurus. Please, please, please don't give up.... there is far too much at stake.
