Sikhs are cool man, I dont know much about Sikhism but I've been in Gurudwaras and stuff very tranquil. and generally friendly people.

The men like their drink too which is also great lol , they know how to throw a good gathering.

I have nothing but the respect 4 India, and i'd visit it.

[RAT NIPPLED REBEL]

peace..
aint posted on here for along time.. was just lookin fora htread i made.. some years ago

i dont wanna get into a religious argument..

guru nanak, was from the vedic peoples.. who where ARYAN,.

research vedics. aryans.. incorperate that to how many religions where founded from vedics/aryans... and bring it forth to the modern day

oh and i was born sikh. both my parents are practising sikhs.

the inner peace of sikhism is great.. like all other 'religions' that teach peace and to look inwards.. but the propaganda/storytelling/polarisation/belief systems behind and those it gets the followrs to live their lives by.. is the opposite of the peace it preach's ( like all religions)

ahh shit. i rambled.
sorry

peace and blessings

i dont understand what being aryan has to do with anything though, and the aryan theory isnt a proven one, its just the accepted version, for what we know vedic people could have been dravidians but i digress

can u elaborate on the propoganda storytelling etc etc, sikhism at its core is acceptance for everyone and everyone is equal.but yea just elaborate like examples i mean

yeah theyre not doing nice things in the region, but it works both ways man, pakistan done alot of evil shit too, - im sure u know that lol just me ranting off

and im not really sure what the aryan thing has to do with this or what the person was implying but im gonna state this:

1) mass migration from one area to another is a facet of most countries

2) What are known as aryans heavily intermixed with the dravidians

3) cultures of southern india and sri lanka etc also greatly contributed to the native indian subcontinent religions, not to mention great advances in language etc

4) theories concerning migration anywhere, including india are often unclear, or disputed or not solid in evidence., you will find alot of it is speculation

yea indo pak shit is a sad sad reality, they play with peoples lives just to tr y to bring the other country down, and yea basically i was saying wut u said

also guru nanak dev ji cast out the caste system, declared equality of all individuals, this was reitterated by guru gobind singh ji when he said view the human race as one, so this racism nonsense is out the window, u see sikhs arent just indians theirs white sikhs, black sikhs, chinese sikhs etc etc.

yeah thats what i also like about buddhism too that they also abhor caste based bs and hinduism has its fair share of advocates in its people and various sects too , all the more since it doesnt advocate caste system anyway

yea siddharta gautamma was a great man, i view him as a gurmukh, i dont like that he's considered an avatar of vishnu, i hear groups like the rss claim guru nanak dev ji as an avatar as well.
