Guest singhhhhh

Thank you all for you comments and I know everyone has their own view on caste/sikhism.

I know we shouldnt follow caste however there is caste within sikhism if we like it or not and I know the only way to banish this is for the younger generation to marry out of caste and teach their childeren that they are sikh and sikh only.

As there is caste in todays world, how do you go about convincing the older generation to allow people to marry whoever you want?

all of you who use your family surname follow caste, those who use singh and Kaur dont.fact.

I use singh and I will always use singh.

My parents says I can only marry my own caste and I dont want to a I want to marry whoever I want, but dont want to hurt my parents at the same time. A bit confused!

Thanks again guys for your views on this.

FALSE!

There are many gursikhs that use their last name but do not follow caste (ie.married out of caste). If you are proud of your caste and/or put others down for their caste, only then you are following jaaht/paaht. Having a surname is no biggy!

it will most probably hurt your parents ego, which is a big reason caste is shunned in sikhi in the first place.

at the end of the day, when you dont conform to societys superficial rules u are bound to have a few run ins, thats where your ardaas to akal purakh to keep you head strong and your faith keep you standing.. so if you really do have faith in guru jis hukam then nothing will bother you..

you can do forum searches and find quotes from guru granth sahib ji / guru gobind singh jis hukam regarding this issue and present them to ur parents..some still dont understand but in the end u wont be the first one to not go along with punjabi mentality in terms of the caste issue.

You gotta love the posters on this site. A Kamboj starts a thread about caste and, as usual, someone here sees and grabs yet another opportunity to blame the jatts !! :stupidme:

Anything else you'd like to blame jatts for ?

The great fire of Chicago perhaps ? or the fall in crude oil prices ?

I'm sure where ever anyone is critical about your jatt caste, you will be sure to have all your pro jatt spiel at the ready for the promotion of your jatt Sikhi caste, if there ever was such a thing!

Hi There

I read a post on here about caste and that our parents want us to marry our own caste due to being in the same profession.

I wanted to know if there is any difference between a Sikh Kamboj from the punjarb (who are know as farmers) and Sikh Jatt from the punjarb (also know as the farmers)???

I know before sikhism was made we were all wither hindu's or muslims (sorry if this is wrong and please correct me)

What cant a Sikh Kamboh and a Sikh Jatt marry one another? and what will the parents says that the difference is to why this can not be/ or can be?

Any sikh kambohs out there please reply with your own veiws.

Thanks biggrin.gif

    • 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.
