Guru ji said not to wear dhoti , janeu, bodhi, and tilak  we have out own style of clothes  , why not wear kurta pyjama or trousers ?

Kurta dhoti is a traditional Indian dress, its very different from janea or tilak. Janeu and tilak represent a religion(oppressive discriminatory practices of brahmins) In my personal opinion, ideally sikh guys should wear baana but if he wants to wear kurta dhoti for a change, he should be allowed. What are your views mam?

As per my knowledge, Guru Nanak dev ji spoke against janeu and other hindu practices of brahmin supremacy, I haven't read anything about what he said about dhoti. Plz correct me if am wrong.

I think it's usually associated with Brahmins pandits. Hence why Sikhs are advised not to wear it. 

Same as Sikhs would be suggested not to wear arabic white dresses Muslim men wear. 

Anyways most pandit boys also prefer kurta pjama these days. Many online retailers stop selling kurta dhoti because hindu boys don't prefer it nowadays lol.

I think kurta pajama is better in todays time, men stopped wearing chadar in Punjab couple of decades back.

That being said, everything probably feels nice and free under the chaddar!  with nice cool air flowing up the chaddar! all fresh, natural and breezy!  it must feel good!  I wouldn't say im a naturalist but i don't like wearing trousers i prefer loose baggy knee length shorts!   i don't like trousers, jeans are just horrid! everything feels trapped in jeans!  Mens fashion/trousers are just getting tighter and tighter! i don't understand what they are trying to do to us! 

Wear one if you want to, i don't see anything wrong with it! but i prefer kurta pyjama

I was watching this video a few years ago, urban middle class Hindus were discussing stuff and they said it makes more sense to wear a kurta and sari for women to office in a boiling hot country, but because Indians follow western standards they instead wear suits and ties to work when its boiling hot outside!

Pyjama is Iranian. When you say "our" style, which style are you referring to? Sikh? Punjabi? Bharati?

time tested practical wear  - trousers/jeans are second best to Bana , pyjami maybe Persian but since Punjab was an outer province so far back in history (Darius 2) it has become as good as our own . Unstitched clothing is OK for nonactive/combatant roles but we are not meant to be dressed like that . The invaders/traders may have exposed our people to stictched clothes  and I think we have benefitted from it , most Indian women dress like us Northerners, as do most men, excepting on festivals , poojas etc .

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
