I am friends with the Sikh community and have always respected their religion and traditions, I have great respect for the turban and Sikhs in general even though I am Buddhist myself 🙏🏽
I'm a white British atheist watching this having never really spent any time with the Sikh community. I was overwhelmed with pride that Sikhism is growing and young people are embracing their faith and traditions. Fantastic documentary, thank you for the education.
Humble they are not. Every Sikh I’ve talked to defends that student in the us who had a knife on campus. They seem to think the laws shouldn’t apply to them.
@James Smith my brother that knife they have it.. it to defend himself and anyone that is in danger and it is bent at edge and now is not even sharp enough just to make a small cut 😒

All Singhs and Kaurs beautiful. The fine young lady with facial hair looks beautiful and glowing face. Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji bless All. Love from Canada.
Sikh is the best religion with astounding history of humanity, courage and spirituality combined all togather. Sikh gurus were highest degree of spiritual satguru or Masters. No comparison with any other saint in their time and even before that. The most amazing love that God bestow on people of that time in form of Human form. This is the only organisation with perfect teaching in Indian history.
I know a lot about the Sikhs, how many times I starched the colourful 5 metres cloth, that was a long time ago. Now I am again an Italian lady with many, mixed but affectionate remembering as a married lady to a Sikh man. Satsriakal to all
I thought this was an absulotely wonderful documentary about the turban and an insight into the Sikh faith. People should be proud of their faith and free to express themselves..... Respect to all
We have a community in my city, and the aunties are nice. I don't have friends in the community, but i like the values they have. Its hard when you want to fit in but also keep your culture together.
it is hard to be a turban sikh outside punjab but good documentary alot of sikh youngsters would be able to relate to this alot of them dont wear turban influenced by western culture and commercial punjabi industry
✊🏽✊🏽 Sanjeev Kohli for doing this documentary, eye opener for many people not just Sikhs, so that people may know the background and heritage behind it. Guru Nanak started Sikhism so that there wouldn’t be diversity and Sikhs would be one ☝🏽 👍🏽🙏🏽
I was also one of the ones that that had my kesh cut (UK born & bred) when I was 8-9. My Dadi, who was an Amrit Sadharni was so upset she didn’t speak to her son/my dad for 6 months Tbh I felt I lost my power and it was downhill from then on and have kept my western experience since then, I don’t know what happened or why. I’m slightly stronger now but what would have been … this is my testimony 🙏🏽
You can grow it again if you feel the desire. It's been between you and your connection to the divine energy what other people think and say is not important.

Sikhi is a lot more than that, the main goal is to connect to god, the turban is not a hat btw it has a lot more significance and worth than a hat, the turan. I recommend that you do some research on Sikh History and the Sikh Religion. ua-cam.com/video/c78XrBvgBtM/v-deo.html

I remember when l used to wear a turban as a 5 year old in school, l used to have my turban taken from my head by six or more kids more than once. Came home crying with my long hair in a mess. My mum decided to have my hair cut. To this day those times have scarred me.
I’m sorry that happened to you. I grew up in a Canadian city with quite a few Sikhs in my classes. It was such a normal thing to see their turbans and eventually their beards when we reached adolescence. I wish that you’d had people sticking up for you!

Don't know why this fallacy of joining 'hindu and islamic elements' is propagated so much...Sikhi is distinct and unique, it does not condone to religious dogmas of either faith, nor does it practice any of them, it outright rejects them and tell the follower to connect with God directly...

Ive grown up around alot of sikhs and the one thing i have noticed alot is that they dont really like their sikh names and usually change them to english (western) names, Daljit becomes Dave, Sukhbir becomes Steve. The females again have to put up with the worst name, Kaur. In punjabi and hindi, the word kaur means leprosy. As for the name singh, it does not mean lion in any indian language, and definately not in the punjabi language. The word singh means horn in hindi urdu and punjabi. the word sher means lion in punjabi, as in the name sher singh. Need i explain any more after sher singh? Where the lion bit came from regarding the name singh, i dont know. How can you love your culture and identity when you cant even love and accept your traditional names? As for being warriors, yes i agree and they are real fearless when facing the enemy. VERY brave warriors.
