I was asked in class today if people in my religion circumsize.

Since I am a female I did not know the answer to this question. I felt really dumb... Are sikh men circumsized (spelling)?

Circimcision is not a religious requirement of the Sikh way of life.
It does often happen in Western Hospitals.

Sikhs believe in the perfection of God's creation and not altering the form that God has given us.
