Why Didn't "low-caste" People In India Become Sikh?

I'm not Punjabi so can't relate to what goes on in punjab or punjabi community.

I believe in treating everyone as an individual and judge people based on their deeds rather than community.

If a community has created and perpetuated a culture that deeply embeds caste hierarchy within our society - we shouldn't bury our heads in the sand about it - but confront it.

Talk solutions for a change instead of whinging and moaning all the time.

Stop going on and on like a broken record.

Kaur ji, my knowledge on caste is all based upon vyakhya on Gurbani Sahib ji. It is important to look at all issues with prem drishti. The problem lies in how is all in the ahankar, and now to blame all ahankar of individuals on a certain tribal identity is false, as ahankar is merely due to the individual's thinking. For example, Ahankar can come from almost anything including 'religion'. Now it would not be wise to dub all religion as ahankari, due to a few people who have an inner problem. That does not mean we shall tyaag religion then.

Save the lecture. We are talking about caste system, not religion, nor ahankar.

Well the first stage is to get people to recognise what is going on you knob.

Given that certain quarters are trying to pretend it isn't happening. People might just have to repeat things to get the idea into heavily brainwashed heads. Are you one of these by the way?

What are you doing other than nothing anyway?

Just incase there are still people with any illusions (don't know if this has been posted before):

Dhan Dhan Guru Amardas Ji!!

ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥ One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

ਜਾਤਿ ਕਾ ਗਰਬੁ ਨ ਕਰੀਅਹੁ ਕੋਈ ॥ No one should be proud of his social class and status.

ਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਬਿੰਦੇ ਸੋ ਬ੍ਰਾਹਮਣੁ ਹੋਈ ॥੧॥ He alone is a Brahmin, who knows God. ||1||

ਜਾਤਿ ਕਾ ਗਰਬੁ ਨ ਕਰਿ ਮੂਰਖ ਗਵਾਰਾ ॥ Do not be proud of your social class and status, you ignorant fool!

ਇਸੁ ਗਰਬ ਤੇ ਚਲਹਿ ਬਹੁਤੁ ਵਿਕਾਰਾ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ So much sin and corruption comes from this pride. ||1||Pause||

ਚਾਰੇ ਵਰਨ ਆਖੈ ਸਭੁ ਕੋਈ ॥ Everyone says that there are four castes, four social classes.

ਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਬਿੰਦ ਤੇ ਸਭ ਓਪਤਿ ਹੋਈ ॥੨॥ They all emanate from the drop of God's Seed. ||2||

ਮਾਟੀ ਏਕ ਸਗਲ ਸੰਸਾਰਾ ॥ The entire universe is made of the same clay.

ਬਹੁ ਬਿਧਿ ਭਾਂਡੇ ਘੜੈ ਕੁਮ੍ਹ੍ਹਾਰਾ ॥੩॥ The Potter has shaped it into all sorts of vessels. ||3||

ਪੰਚ ਤਤੁ ਮਿਲਿ ਦੇਹੀ ਕਾ ਆਕਾਰਾ ॥ The five elements join together, to make up the form of the human body.

ਘਟਿ ਵਧਿ ਕੋ ਕਰੈ ਬੀਚਾਰਾ ॥੪॥ Who can say which is less, and which is more? ||4||

ਕਹਤੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਇਹੁ ਜੀਉ ਕਰਮ ਬੰਧੁ ਹੋਈ ॥ Says Nanak, this soul is bound by its actions.

ਬਿਨੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਭੇਟੇ ਮੁਕਤਿ ਨ ਹੋਈ ॥੫॥੧॥ Without meeting the True Guru, it is not liberated. ||5||1||

Ah, so refreshing to see the unity amongst Sikhs. How DONT we deserve Khalistan yet?!

If we got Khalistan right now. It would be packed up with the type of stuff we see in that video I previously posted.

That's the truth. And it's not Hindus making us act like this, or anyone else from outside. This behaviour stems from our own communities ego.

Do you have any idea about how many apnay (covertly) hold really disgusting, inhumane views about people they deem to be beneath them in caste? It's not some tiny minority. This is another one of those white elephants in the corner of Sikh room that everyone ignores.

Do you really expect me to show any sort of unity with such people? They deeply disgust me.
