Hes not a sikh... Sikhs don't call living things "FOOD"... they are meant to be vegetarians!!!

[hslalli]

@onelycheema let me go check with my parents, yep, just as i thought, i am a Sikh, sorry if that bursts your bubble, as Sikhs we dont go around preaching, if anything were a faith that teaches tolerance and respect. If another culture accepts this as their food who am i to tell them otherwise. Sikhs beleive in Karma and the notion of what goes around comes around, be prepared to live with the consequences of your actions both good or bad!!!

did you ever experienced any difficulty on the airport? like any prejudiced of some sort?

[hslalli]

@wefsaf33 i have to say no, the most amount of hassle i have ever had is at spanish airports and i have travelled extensively and so far havent encountered any prejudice.

@hslalli What happens if you want to take a kurpan on a plane?

[hslalli]

@toweronepower Good question, but i have to correct your spelling, its Kirpan not Kurpan, no offence intended. We have to respect the laws of the land we live in, i simply put the Kirpan in my luggage when travelling and wear it once again when i arrive at my destination.

hi where do you expect to find rules in Sikhism it is custom traditions Ok there is no social serving of non veg food amongst Sikhs like prasad langar etc personal affairs are different it is ones own taste and liking same in other religions incl Islam a book on advocating vegetarianism available from jain book depot Delhi gives a lot of logic i will try to find it and quote you for info jhatka is a sort of mercy killing of animals for food unlike halal better read texts

[red6dead7revolver]

@ashokarajin i do not agree with you that sikhs are supposed to be vegetarians by relegion idealism. this is the only reason why there is an arguement on this issue is because there have been nothing written in specification in our scriptures that we are suppose to be veg. besides, i have heard that meat was allowed in langar itself at the times of the 2nd Guru. we live in a multi-cultural society, the idea of vegterianism is adopted from hindusim. But according to Akal Takhat, we can eat chatka

@red6dead7revolver

hi .... we take the the arguments too far Sikhs are vegetarians by religious practice is an ideal situation in practice or reality which is deviation from idealism Sikhs eat all that is available and edible they are good cooks too and many famous and great chefs from that community Punjabi cuisine is good example it has chicken and meat preparations also fish tandoor - roasted foods nans rotis paranthas many dishes also adaptation of afghan and muglai recipes is there

[red6dead7revolver]

@ashokarajin okey!! i was talking about that people should concentrate more on doing good deeds and meditation rather than arguing what to eat or what to not. if we are not suppose to eat meat then how can we even possibly eat it? i mean why dont we eat trees or grass, n i dont think we can digest it. these people believe that god made them but still are rejecting the fact that god made them this way that they can eat meat. if you think that killing any living thing is a sin, then be a jain.

@red6dead7revolver

custom traditions culture which define eating habits in a society as religious groups Sikhs are not supposed to be vegetarians but most are eating meats still beef and pork are prohibited being .... hak praya ..... most sikhs eat all that is available and edible still the cuisine is dominated by punjabi food but now all sikhs eat everything good many are good chefs and hoteliers as well the community is known for culinary habits very modern i must say and also tolerant 2 al

[red6dead7revolver]

@onelycheema im a sikh, eating meat is not forbidden in our relegion but some people have mixed brahmanwaad in our relegion and spread this idea that every1 believes that its forbidden. if im wrong give me 1 reference from our holy granth that says its not allowed...all living creatures and vegetation is defined as living things and the creation of god by By Baba Nanak. he also said those who argue over eating meat or veg are fools, because they douno that everything is created by god.
