Sikhi vi shuruaat bache de janam naal ho jandi hai, bhaav bachpan to hi pehla parents di sikhya, gurdware jaana, sangat karni, eh sab galla bahut asar kardiya ne. Main bahut choti si, i think 6-7 saal di jado japji sahib, rehraas sahib, keertan sohila, sab par laindi si......reason ki saade gharde bahut kole gurdwara sahib si te mere chacha ji shaam mu roj othe paath karde si, ya speaker te paath sun sun ke apne aap jubani char gaya si....kehan da matlab its the practice that comes into picture....As PPS as suggested pehla apne ghar cho shuruaat keeti jaave, apne younger generation nu dasya jaave ki sikhi ki hai, how our religion came into existence, all the sacrifices made by Gurus for our identity, eh sab galla ik kore kaagaj varge dil te bahut asar kardiya ne. India vich ta ik daud hai westernization di jis ch sirf saadi sikhi hi nahi, baaki religions diya values vi lok bhulaayi jaa rahe ne. Par aithe bahr de sikh i wud say fer vi better ne. Par aithe prob eh aundi hai ki o galla jinna naal ais india ch vadde hoye, aithe grow up hunde bache ohna naal expose nahi hunde, ohna nu sab dassna painda hai.....I have a younger brother who is onyl 13, so he grew up here te ghar da mahaul kuj punjabi te religious hon karke usnu ta atleast kuj pata hai, par i have cousins of his age jinna ne parents bas paise piche kamm ch busy rehnde ne te bacheya nu kuj nahi pata. All they know is they are sikhs, rest nothing abt sikhism. Ik din main oda hi puch laya ehna cho ik bache nu, who is like 14 yrs old, main keha do u know wat is Guru Granth Sahib........kehnda i dunno.......hun kisda kasoor hai, maa-piyo da jinna ne kade aina effort hi nahi keeta ki bacheya nu koi sikhya ditti jaave. Meri har koshish rehndi hai ki mera chota brother te chacha ji de bache ohna nu jinna ku main jaandi haan ona ku dassdi raha. My younger brother when he was like 4-5 yrs old, asi roj gurdwara sahib jaande hunde saan te othe ik sant aake parchaar karde san, ohna ne guru gobind singh ji ate sahibjadeya diya kahaniya sunauniya.....aisa asar hoya mere chote brother te ki o saade layi ainiya vaddiya kurbaniya de gaye te asi vaal katva lainde haan...ohde kole naam vi lao ta (kayi vaar aiwe ohnu test karan layi mazaak vi kar dayida), he says ki main nahi katvaune kade vi, and he goes to like an all-white school where he is the only sardar guy, but he carries the confidence to stand up for himself and explain incase his school-mates ask him. So kehan da bhaav ki jisnu nahi pata usnu sikhi baare dasya jaave te apne bacheya nu, ja us umar de sab bacheya nu jinna nu tusi dass sakde o dasso te sawaal pucho ki ohna nu kinna nu pata nahi, ITS ONLY GONNA SPREAD BY THE WORD OF MOUTH, i believe......eh gall ta si bacheya nu generation nu saambahn di gall, eh main ajj vi kar rahi aa jis vi bache nu jaandi haan us nu dass ke te kal nu apne bacheya nu vi eda hi samjhavangi...........
Hun gall kesh kattan di (people can call me a hypocrite here coz everyone knows anu is hindu, but thats wat his religion tells him to do).......i dunno kade aaya hi nahi mann ch, na hi koi shaunk hai eda da ki vaal katt ke main koi jaada sohni ban jau, ya jaada fashionable ho jau, haan kade kade trim kar laindi aa maare jehe, par ghardeya di strcitness te ik apna vi koi na shaunk hon karke kesha vaala issue mainu apne aap layi koi vadda mahatav nahi rakhda, haan jithe gall rehat di aundi hai, guru gobind singh ji da furmaan hai "Rehat payaru mujko sikh pyara naaahi".......je sacha sikh banana ta rehat ta rakhni paini, te fer ohi gal ki je banda relaize kare ki o saade layi ki ki kar gaye saanu ik pehchaan den layi te asi ohi pehchaan da naamo-nishaan mitayi jaa rahe aa, I dont believe in forcing this on people, coz everyone can come up with their own excuses, my dad had cut his hair and his excuse is jado o amreeka ch aaye si ohna dina ch kamm nahi si milda hunda sardaara nu, chahe gall sachi vi hove, par kesh ta kat gaye na, eh sirf apne mann di, iraade di gall hai, jo sikh pakka mann bana sakda hai jaroor vaal rakhne chaide ne, coz eho saadi ik vakhri pehchaan hai. My uncle wanted to cut his son's hair and my younger brother goes, kehnda chacha ji jado tusi schoolo lain jande o usnu chutti vele, o dooro tuhanu dikh jaanda coz he's got his own identity, te fer tuhanu pata nahi chalya karna sab ch ikko-jeha....hor cute, but had a point......je sab vaal katvayi jaange te fer jo pehchaan guru de gaye ne o kiven kayam rahu. Ik vaar kise baba ji di kahi gall yaad aa gayi, kehnde munde ta ajj kal nashe kar kar ke sikhi to piche jayi jande ne, te kesh katva lainde ne. te beebiya baare gal ta bahut hi chungi laggi mainu. Kehnde puraane jamaane ch je kise beebi de pati di maut ho jandi si ta keh dende san eh beebi sir to nangi hai, matlab esde pati da swargvaas ho gaya, te ajj kal siro-nangi ki, siro-langhi ho gayi......
