Dear Vaheguru Seekern Ji - Here are my responses:Well, I am doing my bit by staying outside SGPC...and then there are geographical distances that prevent me from serving the community in India. The term fundamentalist means the same as it meant when this term was coined perhaps hundreds of years ago. What I object to is to use this word to describe practicing Sikhs....as many news reports did. They reported the recent violence in Punjab as between fundamentalist Sikhs and Dalit Sikhs...I was just objecting to the term "Fundamentalist" to describe practicing Sikhs.I referred Fundamentalist Sikhs as "They". Please read the entire para to resolve the context of "They" Come on...I am a practicing (some people might call me Fundamentalist ) Sikh and I know it is not easy being one.....Especially, growing up as a Sikh boy in Hindu dominated area...Ohh...I was bullied and beaten by my hindu classmates....because I am a Sikh...I am not going into the details, but it is not easy....What I meant was that you have to be brave to be a true sikh. It is easy to shave off beard and cut the hair and roam around in the public, but to sport a turban and beard and walk around with your chin up....only braves can do it.
