hello i am a hindu girl and i am sorry if people mind if i have become a member of this, as i am a non-sikh. i'd like to tell you my experience: when i was 17 i met a sikh boy, he liked me very much and i also had some feelings for him, i am a religious person and when he asked me out i said i cannot go out with him because he is sikh, it just wouldn't work! he was really upset and we did not talk for a while, then we became friends for 2/3 years years and we eventually got together because we could not help how we feel. we have been together several years i still feel guilty sometimes and it is a hard position to be in. we have spoken about mrrigae several times, mixed marriages can be done but when you have children it is difficult becuase then they would find it confusing, what religion would they follow? each family will start fighting and treat it as a contest in which religion they would choose. my boyfriend used to drink and eat meat however i encouraged him not to and to give up these things, he was not religious however he has good knowledge in sikhism, he does not want to wear a turban because of fashion, however i i have encouraged him in becoming a good sikh, i would never leave him if he decides to wear a turban. i beleive no matter what religion you are if you folow it rightly god shall redeem you and you shall get salvation throught following codes of conduct of religion correctly. i do hope we can get married but i am confused....religion is fundamental to me and so is keeping my parents happy, we are neither willing to convert and we both think it is unfair and disrespectful to convert just for love not for loving the religion. but am i bad person for falling for a sikh? and is he bad for falling for a hindu? please give me your views???
