84

it's crazy how little sikhs do about the 1984 attacks. also it seems like the sikh community is literally a headless beast. even in india, there is no leadership, and its a shame. the prime central location for the people of sikhism, was attacked by military forces and yet you hardly hear much of it in the gurudwaras in chicago and ohio.

i think that sikhs really dont do a good job of having really any kind of like sense of religion and community. we dont really have a dialogue for anything about anything. its all crap really. and the requirements of the turban are crazy. i dont understand why sikhs perform rituals when nanak said rituals were wrong. that was the very reason for the creation of sikhism. instead they go and cover there head when in the presence of a book, knelt to like an idol. this is far removed from the original teachings of nanak. certainly these are more worshippers of nanak than practitioners of his beliefs. they kneel to him like he is god instead of letting themselves learn his teachings. children are brought into the temples not knowing the language of the text and are forced to sit and listen to unknown tongues and then sit and eat food. it doesnt make any sense to those children nor will that be resolved by watchful adults. they're allowed to continue unknowning and they will never really know anything about the religion. these kinds of things are crazy and certainly they shouldn't really be the modus opperandi for gurudwara's nationwide.

also another problem is the turban issue and its PR issues and legal conflicts. as well as the kirpan. police entered a house and upon seeing the kirpan at a womans side restrained her and arrested her took her to the station for questioning. only, she was a resident of that house and her brother had called in a burgalery. it was an embaressing situation and i don't really feel it can really be used as a rightful gague of the legal system in america. these agents of the law used force against innocent citizens and this is wrong.
