Sikh religious causes and the general religious scene don't seem to be attractive to otherwise intelligent (book smart) laymen. The odd professor, researcher, author, student of history, etc, is not representative of the masses. I imagine what puts smart people off is the inflexible religious tribalism coupled with the purity spiral / unrealistic barrier to entry that eliminates 99% of any interest. Plus, the leadership and hierarchy have NO answers to the problems that Sikhs face today. The solutions they present are one or both of:

1) Your karams are 5hit - pray more.

2) Your misfortune is God's grace - pray more so in the next life you receive more favourable circumstances.

Meanwhile people should just neck themselves because this janam is a write-off? Absolute demoralising jokery. 

But Isn't Islam even worse in this purity bs regards? Also their preachers teach the same thing it doesn't matter how <banned word filter activated> your life is if you pray to allah you will get everything in Jannah. There must be something more to it. Alot of Sikhs also constantly undermine their own religious teachings just to please others. Then i guess when people see the behavior of an avg Punjabi what impression of Sikhi do they get?

Objectively speaking on some levels there's some truth in what they said, our Sikh faith has been abrahmized in the last few centuries, the original goal of the British was to convert the Sikhs into Christianity but when they failed at that, they decided if they couldn't convert the Sikh, rather they would create a new influence within Sikhi. That said, what many Hindus don't realize about these old school Sikhs having Hindu-influence is that from the time when Prithi Chand rebelled against Guru Sahib until Singh Sabha Movement, the Haramandir Sahib hasn't had control of Sikhs and after Banda Singh Bahadur's reign ended, Sikhs lived in jungles and even more Gurdwaras had fallen under the Mahants. We can't completely base Sikhi on a purely historical context and we need Gurbani and Rehitnamas, (most important being Bhai Nand Lal's), to guide the Panth.

exactly they will bring the bs of there being idols in harmidner sahib and what not lol like sikhs didnt have control of our gurudwaras for a very long time. Even now these modern day mahants are doing similar non sense in Indian Gurudwaras.

This whole conversation and many of it's facets boils to one conclusion. 

We need our own political state because ultimately we need power over our own affairs. 

If we have power, then we can leverage it for our own self interest. 

The problem we have is that we are good at leveraging power at an micro individual level but not at a macro collective level. 

I mentioned the word self-interest here but this is a dirty word for our Sikh psyche because our collective mentality is to be selfless and vand the power with non Sikhs. 

Our problems  (going to sound controversial )are grounded in our skewed Sikh values and principals.

Who cares about deep rooted this and deep rooted that.

There is no perfect society.

Let's just have our own country.

Nah, you're only saying that because you are part of the deep rooted horseshyte. We just need to look at Canada and see what a sad joke your 'culture' is creating over there. Given half a chance, only Waheguru knows what mess you'd create in Panjab. You've got a propensity for all sorts of gandh. 

Go back inside your community and start a strong debate about the stupidity of following and promoting an insular, 'colourful-bandhur', peasant culture in the 21st century, over a Sikhi based culture, and you'd actually be helping the panth.

    • 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.
