Re: The current state of Sikhism in the west.


Sat Sri Akal,

Sikhs in west are increasingly becoming  westernized.Although alcohol addiction has increased among men in  Punjab,but it more severe in western countries where both men and WOMEN  are addicted to alcoholism.For instance if one analyze the situation on  Sikh Matrimonial Websites,it is evident that around 90% Sikh women in  western countries drink alcohol.Interfaith marriage is more common among  Sikhs in west,especially Sikh girls marrying Muslims.Similarly divorce  rate is much higher among Sikhs in western countries.Also most Sikhs  born abroad do not speak Punjabi or speak at elementary level;instead  they prefer English and dislike Sikhs born in Punjab as latter are not  versed in western way of life.
