JimRinX Ji,
I see my dear friend Narayanjot Kaur ji wants me to add words of wisdom. LOL. I don't really have any right now beyond saying that it was neither our appearance as Sikhs with the 5Ks or even hatred of Sikhs that got us killed; it was the expediency of indira gandhi's Congress Party (political) with the aid of her (understandably) angry son, rajiv, that got us killed. Plus, of course, historically, the nehru/gandy family has always hated us Sikhs, as have many brahmins, as they see us as a a danger to their status in the caste system.
And the 5Ks are an integral part of being a Sikh and always will be. Without the 5Ks, we are simply not Sikh. How much do you know about the Miri/Piri (Temporal/Spiritual) interface which is at the heart of Sikhi? To me the 5Ks are the perfect example of that concept, the perfect intersection of Miri and Piri. (BTW, that has nothing to do with the young lady Miri on Star Trek who had such a fear of 'grups.')
I would like to hear the tale of the white supremacists' gross misdeeds. Please write about that. I assume that since you brought it up, you are able to write about it.
I have great respect for Taoism as taught by The Old Man; it has much in common with Sikhi in philosophy. Of course, Lao Tsu and his philosophy lacked Naam, which is the very soul of Sikhi. It's now a lovely summer Saturday evening and I'm done with "Deep Thoughts" for the time being.
And I will willingly die by torture or from boredom (sometimes harder to endure than torture) rather than remove my kakkars.
Chardi kala!
Mai :ice:
