Heartfelt genuine congratulation to Tulsi Gabbard to be appointed as first hindu american elected to congress and but most importantly staying true to your dharam by taking oath swear on sri bhagvad gita during swearing ceremony. Your act should be inspiration to all women and to your follow hindu sisters and also our sikh ladies currently and in future for staying true to our sikh dharam and may your act also knock senses in people such as nikki haley so called sikh politican and among others who is dealing with inferiority complex and identity crisis syndrome.

This should also set an pro-active reminder to sikh parcharikhs, to patch up with our non-amritdhari -monay be it man or woman, do more parchar of sidhant of universal sidhant of gurbani instill some confidence/encouragement in non amritdhari for being proud to be sikh, be proud of gurbani/gurmat sidhant/universal human message instead of demonizing or villifying non amritdharis...!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know this isn't sikh news but i am extremely proud of her for sticking up with her dharam and be proud of her that she is used her scriptures- bhagvad gita as swearing during oath..!!

Great role model in words and actions thus far! I wish her well in her new position. Thanks for sharing. Its just a shame you had to add the negative bits about nikki haley and demonizing / villifying non amritdharis to something positive. FYI - There is nothing to patch up between amritdharis and non-amritdhari or monay and keshdharis. This kind of chat just causes problems when there actually are non in the first place!

Sorry singh, i don't meant to sound negative but my post was meant for improvements on all fronts. It just hurts when apni kuriya are not proud of who they are and are dealing with all sort of inferiority complex/identity crisis issues. The problem is much deeper on both sides with our parchar as well our kuriyas dealing with inferiority complex and identity crisis. The day we "think" - everything is fine in the panth, the day we actually stop "improving" as we go back on reactive mode and stop learning than being in natural pro-active/learning mode. There are always room for improvement for personal sikhi, panth status, parchar but at the same time we want to have right balance, we shouldnt bring the morale down as well for those who are working hard in parchar... if my previous post didn't do that, if it did, i apologize..!!

I'm with you on that my brother. No apology needed, just working together for the betterment of the Panth

There was actually a Muslim congressman (maybe senator) who was the first elected govt. official in America, to not take the oath of office using a bible. He used a Koran.

What if a Sikh is elected? What would be the proper way of taking an oath using GGS? Would it be carried to Capital Hill by 5 Singhs?

I think a Gutka Sahib would be sufficient..

I think gutka sahib should be good.
