Few points I want to make:
- In a few generations, our off-sping will not look like us. They will be fair skined, blue eyed.
- We need to ensure Sikhi is the dominant religion in the UK, after Christanity.
- These problem are occuring in every religious group, not just Sikhs.
- We goto to make sure Sikh women marry Sikhs, or convert their partners just like the Jews do, to Sikhism.
- We have to instill Sikhism in the heart of Sikh Women.Otherwise Sikhi will be lost in the UK .
- Gurudwaras do not make sure both parties are Sikh, when marrying infront of the Guru Granth Sahib. Like Cannok road gurudwara in wolverhampton, i heard or Dhamesh Gurudwara in Lozells Birmingham I heard.
- Our community leaders are too weak on subjects like this, and are decades behind at making polices as normal. They will only find out when one of their own daughters marry out, like it has I heard at the main Gurudwara on dudley road in wolverhampton. ( Idiots)
We have blind people leading our community, its very sad and upsetting. Our leaders want us to be asleep and not react, but we must .
People need to wakeup. Next time they know of a Sikh marrying a non Sikh, do not go to the wedding. Do not accept it.
We need to socially not accept these kind of wedding, make it hard for these people that marry out of religion. Why should I accept it, I am sorry but we Sikhs should not be that liberal. Liberal does not mean let our great religion go down the pan. Wakeup !
True Event : I met an Sikh auntie in a dominated sikh city in the midlands, as we were discussing normal issues. Somehow she told me her daughter was married to a south Indian hindu from keral. I then asked did he convert to sikhism, she said no. Then I went on to say why did she accept her daughter marrying a non sikh. She replied " if she is happy I am happy (if her daughter is happy her mother is happy) . I told her directly that a Sikh can only marry a Sikh . This is when she lost it a little and said "what do I know ? There alot of marriages like this in the UK and India" (NB I disagree as I have never been to any, and I know alot of people) Some other stupid remarks she made were her son in law (the hindu from kerla) plays football for a local gurudwara ( she was trying to defend her daughter marrying a hindu, with a stupid remark about playing football.) I went on to say if I as a SIkh played football for the local Mosque, would a muslim let me marry his daughter !
She also made remarks like she has the Guru Granth Sahib in her house, she would not accpet or acknowledge my statement about a SIkh can only marry a Sikh, and tried to change the subject.
The point I was making was she did not like at all, when I said Sikhism does not accept this and that I do not accept this. The next day
she brought her husband round, and I think she wanted me to say somehting to her husband, for example start an argument, but I did not fall for that trap, because I know what I said is the truth, they then just walked off in a sluk.
My point is the aunti is fooling herself, and she wanted me and everyone else to accept it. But I will not, and alot of fellow sikhs dont either, we need to be more vocal about this and speak out . The auntie was trying to make out its OK, but its not. We as people decide the destiny of Sikhi in this country, if we let these weak people decide there will be no Sikhs left.
Ask yourselves why do we need to accept this ? Either convert your partner to Sikhism, or do not marry out, that goes for men and women.
