Kanwardeep ji , What I was referring to was the overall respect of a Sikhi Saroop
among general public of Delhi . As for PS Sarna he has done a lot of good work like creating good impression of Sikhs overall, building schools,collegesetc. Regarding Sikh identity then if you are living in Punjab then I do not say anymore.Not more than 5% of Sikhs have heard about Sikh Rehat Maryada . The Sikhi Saroop is certainly reserved for people above 50 only . As someone who visits Delhi only for a day in one year this was my observation as a layman . I agree Punjabi is notr
Punjabi is not equal to Sikhi because it is this Punjabiat only which has dealt the most fatal blow to Sikhi in Punjab
I live in NCR region of Delhi.The majority sikhs of Delhi simply keep sikhi roop out of pressure from family.many sikh boys trim their beard so neatly that no one could know it.sikh girls in Delhi are marrying Hindu's like epidemic.Every other day I hear from my relatives that so and so girl have married hindu and many times the marriage is arranged.With This type of situation from how much time sikhi could exist?
Coming to college's The sikh college's mainly funded by DSGMC are among some of the worse in Delhi.I am talking it because 3 years back My brother wanted to take admission in Master of computer application and we all searched for a good sikh instituition and there was only 1 where sikh quota was available and it was not at all good reputation wise.
About school's The sikh school's are nowhere in list among top schools of Delhi
They were set up in 60s and 70 s with vision of being top schools but whenever list is published in newspaper about good schools they are not even mentioned.The result of this that good sikh students are running out of them and joining schools like Delhi public school ( DPS) where they get greater exposer to western culture
Let me add more.After breaking of our joint family I talked with some of elders of my family and I was so surprised that they have no sikhi in their heart had they been given chance they could had shed their sikhi roop much earlier.They clearly say that if their children will cut their hair or marry outside religion they will not oppose.May be many people will not like it but what people of Punjab doing is right.If they don't want to practice sikhi then its better to shed the sikhi roop at least it is much better than dikhawa what many people are doing
