Our elders are sleeping; who will wake the youth then?<br /><br />The root cause is that Sikh values have been differentiated from the routine life, originally Sikh values are way to live. So easy simple and beautiful; if we understand. It will be easier to understand and relate the sacrifices even.<br /><br />-Preet Kaur.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17792686.post-46577536519571593772006-12-15T01:06:00.000+01:002006-12-15T01:06:00.000+01:00Sifar,

How can sacrifice and martyrdom which are timeless traditions of Sikhi be different based on the artifical imposition of time frames.<br /><br />If you don't mean that the incidents of 80's and 90's was not of lesser importance, what do you mean when you say the "sacrifices were different"? If the incidents are equally important, they are not different.Inderpreet Singhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05444100780673042069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17792686.post-57386327716610209232006-12-09T05:09:00.000+01:002006-12-09T05:09:00.000+01:00I was in India only in the 80's and 90's.

Any sensible Sikh will not compare the two... Now by that I don't mean that what happened in 80's and 90's to Sikhs is of lesser importance...Sifarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04012916306120282829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17792686.post-14059068788289032182006-12-09T01:23:00.000+01:002006-12-09T01:23:00.000+01:00"...todays time..."
Depends on how you define "to..."...todays time..."<br /><br />Depends on how you define "today's time". Simple reading of our (Sikh) history of 1920's. One specific example is of Balbir Kaur and her son, during Jaito da morcha.<br /><br />Simple speaking with families of shahids of 1980's and 1990's in the pinds of Panjab will reveal that sons and daughters of Guru Gobind Singh were sacrificed. Whole families were sacrificed, and the mothers and fathers refused to help the police to tell them of their children's whereabouts. <br /><br />So...we need to stop thinking that the intense love filled intuitive "sidak" of the Sikh is a thing of that past. It does exist "in today's time" albeit in short supply. But then again even 1 guru ka sikh is sava lakh, so quantity doesn't matter.Inderpreet Singhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05444100780673042069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17792686.post-37826208960344775612006-12-08T21:27:00.000+01:002006-12-08T21:27:00.000+01:00I'm sure we will hardly find any who will sacrific...I'm sure we will hardly find any who will sacrifice himself or any of his family in todays time.....Sifarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04012916306120282829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17792686.post-33045689769972875852006-12-08T01:28:00.000+01:002006-12-08T01:28:00.000+01:00Sovereignty will be attained only few in this life...Sovereignty will be attained only few in this lifetime. The desire or fire of want (things) is so high, that only few are able pass it through Guru Sabad. <br />Attitude of sovereignty is seen by many a mere madness, think about what will we say about a man who sacrifice his children for righteousness and justice, in today's time!Harkiran Kaurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06347451259298051984noreply@blogger.com
