    Sikhs are awesome. They actually integrate and strive to become better people. Plus they are obligated to help people who are in trouble. I can't believe people misidentify them. Their turbans are unmistakable by having a "upward point" on the front top and wear their beards/mustaches in a certain way.

    • @jojames6621
      @jojames6621 6 років тому +5

      Talvinder Singh No this is not the case. Sikhism is not the same as "Jattism". Because "Jattism" and high caste and low caste are apart of PUNJABI CULTURE. They are NOT apart of sikhism. Punjabi culture and sikshim are not the same. For example, in punjabi culture they promote drinking alcohol and stuff like that but sikhsim is against alcohol. Sikhism is also against the cast system, so how could sikhism support caste system when it clearly is against it??? This is punjabi culture not sikhism.

    • @jojames6621
      @jojames6621 6 років тому +1

      Talvinde Singh In the RELIGION of sikhism there is no caste system that is just in the culture of Punjabi people. In the RELIGION of sikhism everyone is considered equal. For example, every sikh temple in the world has Langar (Free food) and everyone is allowed to come there and eat regardless of religion, CASTE, or skin colour. Secondly, in sikh temples everyone must sit on the floor to eat Lanagr (free food in sikh temples) ! The reason for this is because it represents equality and that no one is high or low, but rather everyone is equal at the same level which is why you must sit on the floor with everyone else. This is why you must sit on the floor at the same level at every sikh temple when eating cause it represents EQUALITY NO HIGH CASTE NO LOW CASTE ONLY EQUALITY. This is the sikh RELIGION! Yes for sure, there might be sikh PEOPLE who beleive in a caste system but thats just people you know! Not the religion. The Lanagr (free food in sikh temples) is the biggest example that the RELIGION of sikhism is AGAINST caste system. Read the links I provide below! It will give more insight!

He responded and just as he was when I knew him in the last century before I retired in 1999! As an engineer when I was the manager on a big project building- Transmission Towers and Building (in Bahrain, an Island in the Persian Gulf) in tidal waters, for the British Royal Air Force. I had about 100 workers at the site consisting of many laborers, all needed tradesmen and several foremen. Among them it was a pleasure to meet these 2 Sikh carpenters. They were excellent carpenters making the wood doors and installing- meticulously and they were always reliable, nice and cool fellows.

      Talvinder Singh No this is not the case. Sikhism is not the same as "Jattism". Because "Jattism" and high caste and low caste are apart of PUNJABI CULTURE. They are NOT apart of sikhism. Punjabi culture and sikshim are not the same. For example, in punjabi culture they promote drinking alcohol and stuff like that but sikhsim is against alcohol. Sikhism is also against the cast system, so how could sikhism support caste system when it clearly is against it??? This is punjabi culture not sikhism.

      Talvinde Singh In the RELIGION of sikhism there is no caste system that is just in the culture of Punjabi people. In the RELIGION of sikhism everyone is considered equal. For example, every sikh temple in the world has Langar (Free food) and everyone is allowed to come there and eat regardless of religion, CASTE, or skin colour. Secondly, in sikh temples everyone must sit on the floor to eat Lanagr (free food in sikh temples) ! The reason for this is because it represents equality and that no one is high or low, but rather everyone is equal at the same level which is why you must sit on the floor with everyone else. This is why you must sit on the floor at the same level at every sikh temple when eating cause it represents EQUALITY NO HIGH CASTE NO LOW CASTE ONLY EQUALITY. This is the sikh RELIGION! Yes for sure, there might be sikh PEOPLE who beleive in a caste system but thats just people you know! Not the religion. The Lanagr (free food in sikh temples) is the biggest example that the RELIGION of sikhism is AGAINST caste system. Read the links I provide below! It will give more insight!

    Part of me really wants to be a Sikh but I don't want to wear a turban. 😔 I'm caucasian. I'd stand out horribly if I did that. I'd even carry the knife/sword and the comb.

      Sikhi is all about standing out that's why our 10 guru made us wear that so if someone is in dire need of help they can find us easily being caucasian and wearing turban means you will get more opportunities to help others , I only see upsides in your situation but sikhi is a hard path to follow you need to gave up on many things and you need to train your mind like military offical and act like one 24 hours a day for rest of your life it's a selfless life

      Sikhs are great people. But only problem is, we have a problem. Our religion recommends we cannot Shave, cannot shower, cannot wipe our a$$, Our houses smell extremely horrible, and no one prefer to live nearby. We love driving trucks and fixing mechanical objects. Thats a short introduction. h s987d
