dear sangat

i am concerned to often be reading comments from some sikhs such as "we saved india"

be this true i think it is wrong to throw this in people's faces in vanity.

we should hoour the good achievements of sikh history, but with humility.

afterall, all victory belongs only to waheguru/god.

(REPLY) Sat Nam. I think you are "preaching to the choir." I certainly agree that "Wahe Guru Ji ka Khalsa, Wahe Guru Ji ki Fateh!" and so perhaps when you read comments that seem to cross over the line from honoring good achievements in Sikh history but arelacking humility, it might be best for you to reply directly to those making the comments. It is a fine line, sharper than a razor's edge -- to walk between self respect and honor, without falling into what you call vanity. It may simply be a problem of semantics? In any event, thank you for voicing your concern. SP
