Can you classify someone wearing fully white as namdhari?

I was coming out of school today, and then I saw this man.

He was wearing fully white and he looked like he was namdhari because of his turban (no covered ears and last lahr sticks out at the back)

My question is, is it write to judge someone like that as namdhari?

Yeah he probably was Naamdhari, but it wouldn't hurt to ask.

I rather wouldn't because of previous situations such the conflict between Khalsa and their community in general at the time in the 1980's

But nonetheless, it's quite rare to see a Namdhari in my area even though there's like 3 Gurdwara's belonging to them right here.

Most average people don't care much about religious conflicts from decades ago, also even though Kukas aren't Sikh anymore, they still consider themselves to be Sikhs. If directly asking if he's a Sikh or not, or Naamdhari or not doesn't give much of an answer, you could just ask him what he believes in to get an idea.

But there are some branches of Sikhs who only wear white, one being Nanaksar.

Why do you care if he was Naamdhari?  Was he hurting someone in anyway?

Well the question in general was not if I cared he was namdhari but if I was allowed to classify someone wearing fully white as namdhari. But otherwise his looks he gave me wasn't pleasant.

He gave you a look!!!!! Everyone drop what you are doing and attend to this huge problem this guy is having.  Are you having nightmares, reliving the traumatizing look over and over in your head and the only way to escape the mental torture is to smack your head against a brick wall?  

If a look sets you off.  You need to get thicker skin.  The world is not all rainbows and chocolate bunnies with a little pink nose.

    • 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.
