Not sure, may be he thinks kesh and dastar are cultural symbol to him or he kept to convert other sikhs..usually christian missionaries make converted people from other background or religion an chaplain or some leader so that they can bring more in to Christianity without any changing their appearance.

Now if missionaries, kala afghanis, teja singh influenced can join- Christian evangelical/protestant/Anglican distant separated brothers openly like this... one dimensional ideology(black and white)/divisions in the panth will be self cleaned by itself..!!!!!

A lot of people like this are encouraged to retain their former religious appearance in order to trick and deceive their people. They do this with the Jewish faith too, where Christian missionaries will dress up as religious looking Jews (black clothing, long beard) in order to infiltrate and convert more Jews into Christianity. This is the same tactic this guy is using. From his looks no one from the Sikh community can tell he is a former Sikh and now fully Christian. He looks like a religious Sikh and most Punjabi people have respect and trust for people that look like this. This guy will then take advantage of their trust and respect for his looks and start to brainwash them about Christianity. In India, they do the same thing with Hindus, where these Christian missionaries will use typically Hindu religious vocabulary to trick and deceive their intended audience. Sikhs need to be aware of such people.

Like Jonny Veerji said it's a ploy to fool other Sikhs

... but in certain cases the fraudsters deliberately want that that the converts discard their Kes.

These are tactics to trap more people of Sikh backgrounds with their propaganda. In Punjab, Sikh converts to Christianity keep their names and also appearence. You will find photos of a Nihang praying to Jesus by the way.

Secondly they use religious terminology of that particular religion for their own Christian things to fool the masses. They use the words 'satsang(at)' for congregation, Satguru for Jesus and other things to fool Sikhs.

This is a real threat to Sikhi as especially the so called downtrodden Sikhs are prone to being converted because discrimination based on caste is still rampant in rural Punjab. Check the case of Tarn Taran (one of the few Sikh strongholds in Punjab) where 43 Sikhs converted to Christianity. Their numbers have tripled in a decade in Punjab.

Very true, many times we are put on test to see if we will falter from the path of Guru Jee. Those Gurmukhs who remain steadfast will have the Kirpa of Guru Jee while those become Bemukh dont. Puraatan Sikhs went through the worst of hardships, turture, yet their faith in their Guru was unshakable, while today we Sikhs don't even have 1% of the hardships of puraatan Sikhs, yet we falter so easily. Sikhs need to start trusting their Guru again. Gurbani has all the answers if only we do khoj of It.

There is a saying muslims stab you from the front and hindus in the back the same can be said about Christians. They appear harmless but if you check the history of christians in the punjab and what they did to the Sikhs in history you would not trust a Christian missionary as far as you can throw him. The british east india company attacked the Sikh lahore darbar using armed invaders the ex-pat white british Christians and their bengali slave foot soldiers who came to india and punjab carrying out many atrocities, rapes and pillages of the punjab after 2 big wars. They were also the ones who built a church by force in the darbar sahib complex before it was torn down. They also force converted many Sikhs to Christianity such as maharajah duleep singh who was only a child before snatching his jewels and kingdom and shipping him off to england.

On the plus side a person converting to Christianity is better than converting to Islam as Christianity provides free will for someone to convert to other faiths unlike Islam. But make no mistake there is a real ideological war out there of christian extremists using cloak and daggar tactics to convert punjabi's especially Sikhs to Christianity. I can give you evidence of number of websites that are trying to tell Christians to dress up and camouflage yourself in the non-christian environment, befriend and convert people slowly and tell them to keep the name and appearance of their former faith so that they dont raise suspicions what is going on.

All the Abrahamic faiths including Hinduism, which is getting the Abrahamic tint, are hell bent on purporting their own singular view. Talk about drab communism.

These so-called Sikhs who convert- were they really Sikh to begin with? A true Sikh who realises the essence of Gurbani would never leave Sikhi and adopt another faith.
