Spnadmin ji,Guru Fateh.This is the sad reality of our US of A. Many people do not want to educate themselves and it is a "Christian nation" where tolerance is preached which in my opinion is the most abhorring word of division rather than coming together. It has the disdain after taste to it.That is why our Gurus preached acceptance in Sikhi. This is the reason Sikhi thrived while treading on sharred glass laid down by the Mughal Emperors and many Hindu Rajas because it was all about conversation. But in order to have that the two have to sit on the same table in order to set the table with their differences.This is why I posted the responses, most of them of which were negative.Having said that, I agree with them on one thing. There is no room for loud Punjabi music on the 4th of July parade. They should have chosen some American Music relating to the occasion. Every parade is not a Vaisakhi Mela.This is the reason that we, as the part of the Americana patch quilt have the duty to show are Sikhi deeds through actions which are inclusive to all because the differences are visibly shone in our bana.Every Sikh serving should have worn Red,White and Blue suits/chunnis/bandanas/pugs. The effect of that would have mingled with the intentions demonstrated by them and then the reaction may have been less negative but this is a long process of which we should all be aware of.RegardsTejwant Singh
