Date Posted:	Thursday, 6/14/2001 11:10 PM MDT

I have read most of the questions and answers in this scetion .

And i feel that some answers are different from what my immpersion of sikhism is .
Do you just answer them by the way you think that sikhism should be ?
Or do you answer them in favour of some groups of sikhism ( Jathas )?
Do you really search for the answer before you publish it here ?

Do you think you are always right ?

Sat Siri Akaal Ji.

Given the questions I have seen and answered on this forum, I am astounded at what our youth are being taught in the name of Sikhi. I don't know what your impression of Sikhism is. We have Siri Guru Granth Sahib and Rehit as given by Guru Gobind Singh. A lot of other cultural but not Sikh stuff has been 'added' to this by various people and Sikh organizations over the years. A lot of Punjabi cultural practices have come to be considered Sikh, when in fact they are not. Most of this Forum's moderators are NOT Punjabi.

We do not answer in favor of specific 'jathas' -- we DO answer in terms of how we understand Sikhi to be as given in Siri Guru and in Rehit. Perhaps this IS how we think it SHOULD be, since so often we come up against practices that are not Sikh-- I don't know. I cannot answer in the general on this.

If you have a specific complaint or question about a reply, please let us know. We are not afraid to be corrected. Guru rakha,
