what's a "common sikh"?
i think limiting voting to amritdharis makes sense, since all sikhs should be taking amrit anyway, maybe this would encourage people not to wait until their 80 years old to do it?

I actually watched a couple of her videos. It was kind of funny to me because I live in a college town and there are SO many kids in this town that dress like that, sell hemp necklaces on the corners, get together and thump on any kind of drum they can find... sometimes they even have belly dancers and beat drums and sing hara krishna. They have so much fun and I love how they seem to be trying out their wings. I often wonder how many of them are out of their family's eyesight for the first time in their lives and perhaps they came from some catholic or fundamentalist christian home...
As for Ariana Saraha -- IS she a Sikh?
My initial reaction was -- only she could answer that question.

..: Ariana Saraha :: Bio :..
looks to me like she just enjoys singing devotional music. one doesn't need to be sikh to appreciate the beauty of gurbani kirtan.

Thanks Caroline Ji and Jasleen Ji for your genuine feedback. In contrast with this topic, there's the other side to consider :
"The Turbans" were a Philadelphia based R&B vocal group that had chart success in the mid-50. Featuring Al Banks , Matthew Platt, Charlie Williams and Andrew Jones, the Turbans are credited with performing the first hit record to include the phrase ‘doo-wop’.

Have you noticed? All of the non-Sikhs here are African American. Goes to show, to some extent, the shared love for the turban. Did you know that there are some African here in Kenya, known as Mkorinos, who also wear turbans as part of their religion? The amazing fact is that their turbans are tied in the same way their Sikh counterparts wear in East Africa. The Mkorinos mostly wear white turbans and some even grow their beards. They look like Kenyan African Sikhs
Dr. Lonnie Smith is one of the best of the line of funky Hammond organists that came up in the 60’s. He started his career in George Benson’s combo, before branching out on is own for legendary recordings like ‘Finger Lickin’ Good’, ‘Think’ and ‘The Turning Point’, as well as memorable sideman work in the group of Lou Donaldson. He’s still cooking today, and is the standard bearer for unconventional, musical turban-wearing.

Then there will be another problem many will take amrit just before elections and later break it

simpler solution is SGPC opening colleges in areas where sikhs are minority, if they want to give reservation to sikhs( defined by whatever measure they want to - its democracy, they have right to define anything )

does it matter? isn't a gurdwara a gurdwara? as long as you have sadh sangat and Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji is installed with respect... does it really matter what the name on the building says?

Jasleen
this is important
what SGPC is trying to do is draw a line, the line which Guru Nanak tried to erase.
this is because many Gurudwaras today are nothing but another facet of Badal-wara

Its so easy to sit on sideline and critices politicians
Exactly,
Giving oneliners here is not going to work.
i would link this reaction to our reaction to RSS article about onion/ garlic removal request
HARIMANDIR SAHIB, GOLDEN TEMPLE & THE HOLY CITY OF AMRITSAR | Sangh Parivar
. Is there anything wrong written about bhindranwale. How do you explain that. Why no body dare answer this question.
No, we should stop SGPC and politicians. Otherwise, we are just a ... laughing stock.
I am not into the theory that he was sent for a mission by God, he was brave etc... talk to S. Fauja Singh's wife.
May be someone will find my address and come knocking?
But I know, slowly these negative remarks will be remembered only by hindu/ muslim/ christians. Sikhs will idolise Bhindranwale.
One day Badal will be remembered as great Leader.
Rightly so, people CREATE history.
What role models we have? Akal takht chief who fights about dasam granth, who does not have fives seats having same agenda.
We are doomed... already dead.
Let us have some identifier for people like us... who are not "pure" khalsa.
let me suggest.... shishya, sheesh, seeker, onkar. Why should I identify myself with these people.

They are crooks. No question. But the very fact is that Professor Darshan Singh has persisted, and there are those willing to hear him. Sri Guru Granth Sahib is still Guruji, in spite of more than 2 centuries of concerted effort to undermine this truth, and hosts of us defend it, in spite of attacks on it today. This should give you some hope that we are not "dead" yet.
It is all His play. Only good will come of it.

Remembering God, one does not suffer sorrow.
