this is not a personal attack or anything, not directed towards any person, but a general reply that can relate to everyone.....

the police wear uniforms..... and police also fight against and help stop criminals.....the army wear uniforms....the army does war and sacrifices their lives while everybody else at home sleeping......

we wear uniforms of the puratan singhs, the same uniforms that shaheed singhs wear, the same uniform that maharaj wears....but we dont fight, we dont help stop any criminals against sikhi, we dont fight any wars, we wear the uniforms and we also sleep in our homes...... they why do we wear the uniform??

its easy to put on the bana, but very hard to live up to its expectations. maybe if we first earned the bana and understood what it really means and what responcibilites come with it, then it would be worth wearing it. but now guru ka bana, shaheeda da bana has become a fashion statement. a jathebandi label for most of us. oh look at me i wear bana, im better then you, my jathebandi is better then you. and if you ask those bana wearing people hows nitnem going for you, did you delete your facebook account yet? still watch tv?? the typical reply is oh man thats hard to do!

puratan singhs earned their bana, but today, we wear bana one day, then next day take it off, then when sunday comes again, we wear bana to guru ghar again. this has become reality for us.....

@ motorcyclewale - Harsh but true.

However we must applaud those who feel such affection for their faith that they feel compelled to wear it - even if it is a symbolic gesture rather than functional.

"motorcyclewale" jee, what you stated is sad and true for most. There are guroosaaheb de pyaray who do thier nitnem, dont have facebook and dont watch television But those are the few rare gems on the pantth. Wearing guroosaahebs banaa is important at all times. Why wear western when he blessed us with such a unique gift? Why wear and try to look like who we arent? You can spot a singh/singhnee from far with Banaa. Ideally, those who wear banaa everywhere SHOULD be the first to jump to help someone in need. They should be the ones that people just have to look at and instantly smile to because their smile uplifts them in some way. We shuld do more community service for homeless shelters and other places in need. To the original poster, there are many responses to your topic on various forums, just have to do a tad bit of research and you'll find some answers
