How Come More Sikh Women Don'T Wear Dastar?

[ks55]

from Sri Darbar Sahib - The Golden Temple of Amritsar 1906

Fashion fitting in, generally many women didn't it is more after AKJ and it's emergence, some even ask why should they others don't believe women ever wore dastars. Generally the oldest photos we can even find from harmander sahib don't show women wearing dastar but chuni. It's also getting along in society, while some say a chuni can come off while a dastar stays on. We don't have substantial evidence to suggest women definitely wore dastars even with mughal culture really. All we know is covering head is required as is with men when doing paath and eating. We have chapters of history missing and even lack of reading of suraj prakash granth we need to translate it. http://searchgurbani...ap_suraj_granth

Men and Women are equal in many ways but have different roles in life the biggest difference is of mother looking after a child, the roles it plays even with a womans life. It is difficult in many ways for women to work with maternity the main feminist revolution in the west was in world war 1 and 2 men went to war while women ran the economy it created problems in the social systems like families so people started to sleep around not bother marrying and we have broken systems after that hence why migrants are more family oriented.

Dalbir Singh you are a WRONG - Women wore dastars and even the British in India witnessed this when they were in India::

That is what J. D. Cunningham himself saw and wrote in the middle of the Nineteenth Century when he wrote his book, History of the Sikhs. He writes: “The Sikh women are distinguished from Hindus of their sex by some variety of dress but chiefly by a higher top knot of hair.” Even after the Punjab came under the British rule, Dastaar was conspicuously seen in case of Sikh women as well as men right up to the Gurudwara movement and the establishment of the Shiromani Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee in 1926.
