Yes,Some Rituals are important and for purposes.
So why do people claim there are no Rituals in Sikhi,.
Because in Sikhi there aren't. The so called "jatt distortion" as you term it occured because people from other religions started destroying Sikhi from within.
They are part of the social culture that sikhs have created to protect themselves and as you may know culture and religion are two very different things. So i still say there are no rituals in Sikhism.(Religion) i.e WE DO NOT DO THIS TO PLEASE THE GOD.
All this directly relates to stuff that we don't have our own education system or country.
Listening to Gurbani is one thing and understanding is completely different.
idha nahi ke jo sunn rahe oh samj bhi rahe.
How do you understand something? Please, allow me to say. You first either see it( example dastar tying), read it, about it or listen to it( Gurbani during Akhand Path).....and then formulate your opinion to it and then either accept it or reject it.
Akhand Path is for just that. To allow people to listen to Gurbani and maybe understand its meaning and ask for clarification if they want. However, i do agree kai lok tah ohda hi baithey hundey a....to show off but jihney samjhni a oh tah dhyaan naal hi sunda.
