Sydney Girl Becomes The First Turbaned Sikh Female Fashion Blogger

Karan Kaur seems to be a walking talking contradiction.

Dastar, and yet clearly cut and styled eyebrows.

Dastar, and yet covered in make-up.

Dastar, and yet no kirpan.

Why exactly is she wearing a dastar ?

I can't help feeling she's using it as a gimmick to get ahead.

If you look at the make up of her followers it is loads of Musaliya who have same attitude to wearing hijab. Point of hijab is keep a humble, decent non-provocative image but now it also is a fashion item topping tight, tight clothes and madeup faces , it really says don't objectify me, not. The musaliya love the image of the dastar so much ...they are training each other on how to tie their hijabs like dastars .

We (females) need to check what we are doing and what signals it sends out ...before we slip all the way down and also drag guroop into the mud.

It's pretty much the male version of the same thing, yet these guys get loads more support from us lot than the bibi does. Everyone is thrilled when they appear in magazines and on billboards.

Just think about it, peeps.

Lastly, I want to say that one might not agree with the make-up and be into fashion all that much, but be careful what you say (or in this case, type). You never know when your unnecessary harsh words will push someone off the path of Sikhi.

What you mean "don't agree" ? Thats like saying "I know some of you don't agree with murder and rape but..." :stupidme:

There is no debate about the issue. It is not an issue that has different sides of opinion. Everybody, except you, knows that as n amritdhari dastar wearer she can not, under any circumstances, trim her eyebrows / make-up etc. If she wants to do that, thats fine, but she obviously needs to take off the dastar. As you can see from all her photos, she has actually taken off her kirpan and so is actually probably no longer an amritdhari. However, she has chosen to keep the dastar because it is her gimmick / tool for career publicity.

It's pretty much the male version of the same thing

You obviously possess a dodgy dictionary that has a strange definition of the words "same thing" but how exactly are people making it clear they are trimmed non-amritdharis be the "same thing" as someone making it clear they ARE Amritdhari ?

Nobody is wrong in this thread. We sure live in a hypocritical world. The problem is that when we see a turbani wearing bibi, our first reaction is that she is amritdhari. However when we see banda in turban then we don't see him as amritdhari unless he is wearing kirpan outside.

Going off-topic now -

If we see banda with turban in front of teka/sharab/liquor vendor in punjab we don't get instant mad because it becomes so normal in punjab (back in time we might beat him). Now if we see bibi with turban @ such 'not so good location', it would boil our blood. The problem is that guy with turban doing bad stuff in normal while bibi in turban is expected to have high moral because society see them at higher status level. Sad thing is that bibian are now also adapting to negative stuff of what paag vallay banday - though still rare but its happening. It is wrong for us to see both male and female turban wearing ppl with the same eye.
