Its just the name actually, and the constitutional recognition that comes with it. You see, the demand has much deeper roots. If you were to analyze the Sikh psychic, its very fearful for the loss of identity (ill-founded you might say). After all, the community have fought wars and lost lives...

You take a vote here and I am sure all non-Sikh Indians here would agree to the Sikh Marriage act or are at least open to a debate on it. The casual approach to Sikhism is but a trait of the very few who are ill-informed. I think we need to work within our community. I dont remember any Sikh...

Good point there. I am not sure if the Sikh faith has codified any specific set of marriage laws or ceremonies. I guess its mostly practiced by common tradition. And I do understand the ease of having one law to govern 'similar' ceremonies. But I also think that if its disaffecting a certain...

You are probably right. But I guess the Sanskrit shlokas that are chanted wont change. We can go into details of the similarities and dissimilarities but its of no use. Agree with the part on bold whole-heartedly.

Ranveer, what did you enter as your religion in the census form? If there was a provision for Sikhism in the form then the govt. recognizes it. Lets not rest all the recognition on one act. I agree with you that a Sikh marriage act is needed but lets not attach more connotations to the issue...

I would take that. Either have a Sikh marriage act if the constitution has one for the Muslims or any other faiths. Or just abolish all mention of religion from the marriage act. But the trouble is that wedding ceremonies have a distinctly religious nature, specific to every religion. So its...

Thats wrong logic and you know you cant win the debate using this line of reasoning. Dont go further.

Most accounts of the jatha yatris are positive. But then again these are restricted to the major Gurudwaras like Nankana Sahib and Panja Sahib.

Why did he trust a sycophant if he knew him to be one?

I dont even remember if my school leaving certificate had a column for religion. And if it says 'Hindu-Sikh' then this was probably a mistake by your school. I would go by the census forms and passport when deciding if the govt recognizes my religion. The last time I checked my passport listed...

You're reading too much into it. It could just be that the province of Balochistan in itself is under-developed as compared to the other provinces.

They clearly consider Pak military personnel as legitimate targets.

A few days back a few Pakistani members were boasting on a different thread how Pakistan has created the Anand Karaj act for Sikh weddings while India hasn't. This goes to show that the real aim behind creating the Anand Karaj act wasn't really taking care of the wishes of the Sikh minorities...

I think this is the perennial talent vs training debate. I too agree that training can only help so much if u don't have talent. But then vice versa is also true. Both the factors are required. A fresh fast bowler like Aamer can surprise batsmen with his skills for a couple of seasons but if he...

He's the greatest!!!

Any kid can make a video picking up a few seconds from his speeches. Cant change the fact that he's a bigot and a hate-monger.

Bet you wont have said that if Pak had won against India.

Who said its good. Just trying to discuss the changes here. And please dont comment with a holier than thou attitude.

I never mentioned RSS. It does have a humanitarian angle to its works, but then, so does Jamat-ud-dawa. It might be the moderate arm of the Sangh Parivar but there's no denying the poisonous ideologies of RSS off-shoots like VHP and Bajrang Dal. Sab ek hi thali ke chatte-batte hain.

Its common sense, lady. BJP saw the coffin scam in its term. A few more terms and we would have definitely seen more. Power always corrupts. And there's nothing to say BJP and its allies, the same allies who sometimes allign with Congress wont indulge in A Raja type scams.
