Is this common between us that when a singni wears western clothes the singhniyaa in bana look down upon you. This always happens to me. What is the problem if you are covered up and not displaying any flesh then that is fine in my opinion. Why isn't this fully accepted-after all we live in thee western world and our religion in sikh. We say and preach that culture and religion are different so why am I targeted as my clothes do not influence or affect my rehat. So it is wrong to wear skinny jeans but guys can wear shorts. They can wear sleeveless vests with kirpans underneath and round dastaara but girls cannot wear anything buit traditional suits...It does not have any equality or fair-ness does it.

I dont really look down upon girls who are wearing western, decent clothes. I respect if I see a Singhni wearing decent clothes at Collage, malls or anywhere. I respect her because I just feels she knows she is Guru Ji's daughter and acting like one. Even though there is nothing wrong with wearing decent western clothes, I still love to wear bana! They are your true clothes afterall! :)

No, there is no harm in you wearing something that isn't disrespectful to yourself.

I think the women looking down on you are the ones that really need to take time out and evaluate themselves and their Sikhi!

How do you know they're looking down at you? Have they explicitly said to you that the way you were dressed was inappropriate? Or was it just a look? Because every single bana wearing Singhni I have met has no problem with jeans/dresses at all so I find this really hard to believe. As long as your clothes don't stick to your body, it's all gravy. Wear what you want.

Western clothing is fine. I personally think the appropriate rule of thumb should be if you feel comfortable wearing this clothing in the gurudwara then it should be ok outside.


But then again you see people wearing extremely form fitting clothing in the gurudwara now a days so who knows. One suggestion is to not look at yourself in comparison to others (i.e. why can't I wear it if they wear it). Do whatever keeps your mind at ease and allows you to progress spiritually.

      Child marriage questions

      By Jassu · Posted

      back then was waaaay different. ppl didn’t attend higher education or have much to do after the age of like… 13, lol. you’d have 13 year olds boys and girls that know how to do kethi, cook entire meals, etc    nowadays even 22 year olds are extremely immature and can be sheltered. the average person doesn’t know how to do anything except their 9-5 which they are probably half arsing as well.

      Starched Turbans - Topi Or Not Topi

      By ipledgeblue · Posted

      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!

      Sanjog, Marriage, Destiny, & Free Will

      By Jassu · Posted

      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.
