Defending The Sikh Identity
Manage episode 329338199 series 3353417
As we somberly observe the 20th anniversary of the horrific 9/11 attacks (2001), we also reflect on the countless Sikhs who were targeted by xenophobes worldwide owing to their turbaned appearance. With the current Laissez-faire attitude adopted towards Sikh doctrines, it has become commonplace to criticize and even vilify those Sikhs who differentiate between themselves and fundamentalists given the turbaned appearance of both. Such disparity and self-apathy is becoming commonplace among western Sikhs owing to the promotion of self-hate academia in western educational institutes. We explore the eventual outcomes of this intellectual regression and how best to defend against it.
