Is this another sign to us Sikhs to reflect upon our personal respect for our dastaars? Why is the dastaar under so much attack over the last few months? There was a time when no one dared touch a Sikh's turban! So where is it going wrong?

A few weeks ago a freshie Sikh had chicken bones put on top of his dastaar by a gang of black youth on a bus in Ilford. The Sikh kept it gupt because he was "kacha" resident so just walked away not causing a scene. I didn't feel sorry for the Singh and his ordeal, I felt upset that we just keep walking away from it all!

The world is not respecting our dastaar because we have lost our own self-respect!

Apologies for my judgemental attitude to these incidents. I just feel there's a bigger picture to it all...

Man's turban stolen in Southampton race attack

A Sikh man was racially abused and had his turban stolen as he stood at a bus stop in Southampton.

The 29-year-old man was approached by a group of five drunken men outside the Civic Centre on Tuesday evening.

Police said the group shouted and swore at passers-by before racially abusing the Sikh man as they walked past.

The man turned away to ignore them but one of them pulled his turban off his head before running away with it towards the train station.

The turban is described as white with black markings.

All the men are described as white. One was wearing a checked shirt and the others T-shirts.

It is believed there were several other people at the bus stop at the time who saw the incident.

I'm pretty sure Nok Pagga were promoted by SGPC, after they went corrupt.

The dumalla is the original Sikh Dastaar.

Can anyone confirm? :)

On a personal level, if that happened infront of me, I would get off the bus with the 'Singh' and give him a lecture, that what the hell,

and proberly grassed him upto the Police :p

Veerje,that is not correct nor it is wrong to wear such turban style. There is no spirituality difference between dumalla and nok style turban... All is same ! Nok style Daastar is in our society even before the formation of SGPC.. example: Bhai Sahib Bhai Randhir Singh ji, Bhai Vir Singh ji and countless other mahan sikh personalities we have in our kaum..

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
