The youth is equally ill mannered, so don’t even expect good conduct from them. They lack common sense too just like the older generations. In fact, it’s the older generations responsible for passing on their crude mannerisms to this youth loitering around everywhere in the gurdwaras lacking any skill at conversing or communicating with others. I have had dealings with the cream and the downtrodden of the sikh kaum and I have to admit after studying them, they are all equally as bad if not worse, as each other.
God save us from both. The best thing to do is stop going there where you will find them. In other words, stay away from them. The gurdwaras are not doing any parchaar anymore so, why go there?
However, it’s our responsibility and duty to show respect to our elders. Never forget, the kaums which stop respecting their seniors decline with a rapid speed, never to recover again. We have to be respectful to them not only because they are old/older, but also, because they have lived their lives and experienced and overcome many trials and tribulations thrown at them and come up as winners. They have the knowledge and awareness of how to deal with many difficult and troublesome situations, we can learn from them how to survive them. In other words, they are our teachers and we their students. So, I would say be respectful to our seniors and strict the juniors! Our juniors are totally confused and messed up! The only thing they have been taught is to keep a joora on their heads minus the knowledge, responsibility and respect it signifies! As they grow older they indulge in everything that top-knot on their heads prohibits them from doing! The girls dressed half naked trotting in the gurdwaras to flaunt their best bits!! Shocking!
