"for Me, Sikhi And Feminism Are One In The Same; Sikhi Is Feminist"


Recommended Posts

I get the feel it's just a matter of time we're gonna get our very own 'Bruce Jenner'. LOL!!!!! Can you imagine the look on the faces of our Granthis and leaders? LOL!!!!!!!!

This is what happens when minorities in western nations are raised on a steady diet of liberalism which is a self defeating ideology.

To bring more context to that line:

How do the worlds of Sikhi and feminism intersect for you and for Kaur Life?

For me, Sikhi and feminism are one in the same; Sikhi is feminist. Sikhi believes in equality and fairness for everyone, regardless of gender and believes in the inherent value of each person. The Guru Granth Sahib is feminist in that it grants women equal rights and the Sikh Gurus elevated women to a high social status.

One of the social goals of the Khalsa, just like a goal of feminism, I feel, is to establish equal rights and opportunities for all people by creating an environment where every person can reach his/her fullest social and spiritual potential.

To bring more context to that line:

That makes more sense to be fair, but the Kaur in question seems smart enough to realise how the original ideal of feminism has strayed incredibly far from those lofty ideals. In my humble opinion, the term feminism as its widely known today carries negative connotations, and to equate it with Sikhi sends completely the wrong message. Egalitarianism sounds about right, but then that wouldn't have been a catchy title for her article, hehe.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
