Heartbreaking that they would have to. Even more so if they must but cannot. They can't be rich. 

Afghanistan is a sinking ship (or at least it's already sunk into a cesspool ).

I guess sacrifices have to be made.

I have met some Afghan Sikhs and they are skilled traders and very business savvy. Some of them are quite educated and they are quite pragmatic. 

They will have to adapt but they will adapt very quickly (in the UK within 2 decades they have become quite wealthy )they do not rely on the Indian government. 

The first step is at least in India they got a chance to survive and they have to think what is best for the next generations.

Who knows, if people leave it alone for long enough, maybe the place will ease up? 

But definitely all Sikhs should leave it and come to India or elsewhere (i.e. a nonsullah country).

Afghanistan is quite a fractured society and it's location will always be lucrative to different parties. 

It will never be left alone.

But you are correct that all Sikhs should leave. I think there are only a couple of thousand Sikhs left in Afghanistan. 

One of my observations with Afghan Sikhs is that they seem more comfortable interacting with Muslims than non Muslims and it kind of makes sense since they have lived in a muslim majority area for centuries.

I wonder how much of a culture shock it is for them to interact with non Muslims in such large numbers particularly if it is a non Muslim country.

I would think probably because they speak the same language rather than speaking Hindi or Punjabi? But probably the majority of Afghans are friendly towards them so they see them as close. 

Second point, I doubt it is a big deal and they'd get used to it quite quickly. Probably the language difference

Language is a big thing. Plus, if by now you haven't fathomed our own Panjabi 'prickly' (or what we'd call c**ty where I grew up) nature, you (generally speaking, not you specifically) must be a simpleton yourself.

Maybe they should ask Morocco for asylum then.

    • 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?
