I have been looking at this site and find it very interesting.I would like to ask youwhy sikhs who are part of Khalsa still use the caste system when they are trying to marry there children.If you are part of khalsa this should be obolished and the way to do this is when they take on the full faith they are told that we are all one. I know that they are told this when becomming Khalsa but this should be taught at the temples ,because when they get out the temple they seem to forget every thing they heard********We are all one *****One is all ***** All is one

Sat Siri Akaal. You are right. I don't know why Sikhs continue to observe caste when they are Khalsa. You can search "caste" on this youth forum and find many stories/queries and replies about this matter. My own guess is that it's ingrained in Indian culture, and to break the mold is much scarier than keeping caste observance. ?????????
