New Punjab CM is first "Sikh" CM with a trimmed beard (and nobody bats an eye)

Not that long ago, having a "Sikh" CM who wasn't a full keshdhari Sikh would have been a shocking development. Nowadays, it's not even worth mentioning.

 

Tomorrow, the CM will be a mona with some stubble who wears a pagh in public

The day after, the CM will be a mona without a pagh

Next week, SGPC members will be allowed to trim

 

Meanwhile, clowns like Deep Sidhu are held up as panthic heros

 

This is a community in freefall that doesn't have any standards. Degenerate behavior has become so normalized that nobody even notices anymore.

I think Dastaar-wearing has become more 'popular' in the past 10 years

What do you suggest is done about the CM?

I know what you are saying, but should it not be the most-qualified person ? He is representing Congress, a Secular party

It doesn't matter that he is part of a "secular" party. He is a Sikh in a leadership role. Not long ago, the community expected Sikhs in highly visible roles to not cross certain lines.

For example, as traitorous, useless and secular as the Patiala "royals" have always been (From Ala Singh to Bhupinder Singh all the way to Amarinder), they knew that cutting their kesh was a line that they could not cross if they wanted the people to support them and have any regard for them. (It would be have been better if drinking sharab and all sorts of other vices were also red lines, but sadly these things were normalized in the Sikh community long ago.)

 

Nothing can specifically be "done" about such things. It all comes down to community-wide cultural standards.

When a community widely practices certain things and frowns upon it when those things are not practiced, those in visible roles must follow suit. Otherwise, they will be viewed as setting a bad example. It's why, in many countries, people expect their most visible politicians to conduct their private lives in a certain way (even though the politicians hold secular posts). That is why (in the past at least) politicians were always trying to present themselves as "family men," for example. Of course, in society, many people are single or childless, or they are divorced or have been divorced many times, or have children with many different partners. But society still viewed a traditional, stable, happy family as ideal, and they would have found it somewhat disturbing if the head of state was not part of a traditional, stable family. (This is changing as well. In Britain, for example, the PM was living with his girlfriend before marriage, and he has had at least one child through an extramarital affair. I suppose it is part of a world-wide erosion of certain moral standards.)

Yup.

There are declining moral standards in the US too. But an interesting difference between the US and UK is the religion issue.

Basically anybody who seriously runs for US President will identify as Christian or Jewish (even openly gay candidate Pete Buttigieg, who was very public about his strong Christian faith). In the UK, it seems that many (or most) people seeking to be PM in recent times have been openly atheist.

It would be very easy to imagine a UK PM who is atheist, but it would be very difficult to imagine a non-Christian or non-Jewish US President.

American 'Christianity' is weird though. Seems to be tied to white supremacism. I don't think that 'religion' equates to shyte out there - you can be a frothing at the mouth neo-nazi klansman out there, and still be considered a 'good christian'???????

Boris has turkish sullah blood in him, so that might explain some of his behaviour?

    • 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.
