Honest Conversation of how many Sikhs on the Planet and the Future

[SikhRaja]

1. Can someone provide an accurate number of how many Sikhs there are in the world and how many Sikhs there will be in the future?

2. What is the fertility rate of the average Sikh?

In my opinion, I think that in order for Sikhism to become a much larger religion than it already is, the mean fertility rate of the average Sikh must substantially increase.

3. Do you think that it is necessary for the Akal Takht and other prominent Sikhs and Granthis to launch conversion campaigns in India?

4. What and how do you see Sikhism being in the future? How many adherents will there be and how relevant will it be to the mainstream not just in India, but in other countries?

5. Insofar as Gurdwara administration is concerned,  does the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee watch over all Gurdwaras? What of other parts of India, specifically in terms of historical Gurdwaras?

25 million Sikhs worldwide.

I heard there will be over 960 million sikhs one day

[puzzled]

Couple of million probably 

Average couple probably has 1 or 2 kids. Even in punjab iv come across couples with just 1 kid.   A bit rubbish isn't it.   Think sikhs were having the most kids post independence but started having less kids in the 90s   now it's come down to 1 kid

They should spread sikhi in other states,  I really don't think it's a difficult task. Average indian already believes in and is familiar with concepts like reincarnation, guru, karma, God being everywhere etc

5. Gurudwaras that are public are under sgpc. U have to declare the gurudwara a dera to not be under sgpc. Most historical gurudwaras are under sgpc

2. In india ppl r barely having 2 kids.

I think its good. The more kids u have, u increase the chance of them being gay or having genetic issues like down syndrome, statistically the percentages increase with population. Plus u gotta marry them off and find them jobs. Harder to do with more kids.

3. If sikhi became a big religion like christianity or islam, it will have many sects. And each convert adds their own flavor. And its more possible for their to be rogue ppl with more population.

4. Let sikhi be made up of khalas ppl. The few and the good. We can be caretakers of the world instead of its #1 religion.

Im not saying parchaar shouldnt be done. But just enough to get a few ppl in.

I am assuming this is sarcasm. Moreover, please exercise a certain semblance of socialistic kindness, bhai. There is no need for enmity on this platform.

How so? I would suggest observance of at the very least a bit of caution, when making such foolhardy claims.
