Revision history [back]

I am a 45 year old Indian Muslim man. I have few questions to ask regarding Sikhism.

1. Why Sikhs have to keep untrimmed and unshaved bodily hairs?

2. Why despite Sikhism being approximately 550 year old religion, the number of adherents of the Sikh faith is merely 25 million only. Total Muslim population in this world in the last 1400 years has reached 1.7 billion. So, this way if we calculate in the next 850 years Sikhs won’t even reach 50 million.

I did ask this question to one of the tallest Sikh religious leader in India and he told me that we don’t preach our religion.

I asked him back if that is so then why do Sikhs keep saying that Sikhism is meant for the whole humanity but the fact is Sikhism has remained an ethnic Punjabi faith. And do you expect the non-Sikhs themselves to read your faith without any contribution from your side and the Sikh religious leader had no answer to my question.

1. Not only quantity wise but also quality wise also Sikhs lag behind. I have been to numerous Punjabi Sikh weddings. On the day of their wedding the Punjabi Sikh grooms do grow little beard and wear a turban but the very next day during the reception parties, they shave off their beards and throw off their turbans. I did ask many Punjabi Sikh grooms as to what is the exact tradition and they all replied as to who cares for Sikhism these days. They said that they just wore the turban on the wedding day to look a bit different.

That clearly indicates that quality wise also Sikhs are not pure.

1. I have visited Punjab numerous times, the only place on earth having 58% Sikh population but Punjab is the place with the highest crime rate in the entire North India, terrorist activities are on the rise and corruption is at an all time high. Sikh men of Punjab need only one thing in breakfast, lunch, and dinner and that is Daru(liquor).

2. As far as Punjabi Sikh women are concerned, they love going to parties and discos. Today majority of them elope and marry non-Sikh men.

So, my question is, Sikhs neither have quantity nor quality, isn’t Sikhism a failed religion on earth today?
