As far as 'It is very unusual to attend a formal Gurdwara and have women participate equally. Women don't usually recite the Ardas, or read the hukam' is concerned, Question is:1. Are women interested to do this, and they are not allowed to do so by anyone there?If yes, then thats against the sikhism principles. Unfortunately, with the desire of proving men' supremacy, some narrow-minded men keep on flaunting these principles. Sadly, Amritsar darbar sahib is no exception to this!But I guess, look in the gurudwaras by our American brothers and sisters, where gender-equality is really practiced.
