I totally agree wid guri 22 g...
Here are my two cent words..
I wudnt say dat we are racist, well, atleast im not. I dnt say ke mere frnds mere religion de, ja mere desh de hee hon...if i was to choose like dat among my frnds, then yes dats racism rite there...bass jst wen choosing a life partner these things matter, in our society, cuz of DUNIYADAARI that is.
DUNIYADAARI- is the word. Hun takk meri samajh vich apne lokkaan vaarey mainu ehi samajh aiya ke jo eh blv karde ne, jo ehna di soch ah, its not all their own, its not cuz they want to blv it...its bec of Duniyadaari... Lokki ki kehan ge? Eh jo v fainssla lainde ne, ehna ne pehllan ehi sochna ke "Duniya ki kahugi?" Ehna di duniya ch ehna da pariwar, ehna de rishteydaar...dost mittar and so on. My parents are like dat too.. they dnt blv in intercaste marriages te aggeyo saadi soch v ohna vargi hee bann-ni ah ke nai? cuz i wudnt marry out side my caste cuz of my parents/family te agge agge eh reet aiddan hee turi jaani...which is totally B.S. Caste system shud not matter, being a Sikh.
If u start explainin to our ppl ke "nai, saade Guruyan ne taan eh nai sikhaiya" all they have to say is ke "Duniya ch ki ijatt reh gai? Duniya nu v mooh dikhauna, duniya ki kahu?" Eh naa chaundey hoya v apne religion/Dharam, apne Guruyaan di sikheya toh doorh ne. Anyone wud think ke Gurughars de vich jo Granthi ne, they knw what sikhism is, who a true sikh is.. but no.. i think even they would put their caste issues upfront while deciding to whom their children are to marry...Baaki hun pata ni apni apni soch aa sabh di...
