kanwardeep jiDoesn't an issue like this one interest Sikhs because the culture of Sikhism and the culture of India overlap a lot. And Sikhs -- who are socially engaged by virtue of Guru Nanak's message -- want to be socially responsible and talk openly about the problems that confront them, and the rest of India too. I cannot think of a single big issue in India that does not affect Sikhs. It is hard to keep a firm boundary between what is Sikh and what is not Sikh. The difference may be that Sikhs are willing to speak out on this and will not be silenced. The time is going to come here in the US too where Sikhs will be the great advocates of social justice in the West. It is already starting to happen. This is a great calling -- the karma of our religion - to make a difference.
