Sikh Pride

Some fifth graders said "You cut your hair" and pressed me against the wall of a hard brick. I tried to argue with them, then one of them stabbed me in the intestines. I fell to the ground and cried. I remember being confused and trying to understand what I did to them. People began to squeeze together and began to see what happened. Almost all the children laughed at me, the older children were shy and the children laughed because the kids laughed very well. Fortunately, the ring tone and break time have ended.

I would like to clarify that I am not particularly devout. I am not very familiar with Gurbani (poem by Sikh). And I am not a scholar of faith. But I have some basic aspects of Sikh's identity. This includes efforts towards charity, tolerance to other beliefs, and devotion to equality. Thousands of other young people like me and I may fall into this category. It may not be perfectly understood the historical significance of Gulbagney, but it is consistent with these tenants. And that's why young Sikhs men and women are still interested in their religion. These are what we understand. These are the things we are proud of.

The world's 25 million Sikhs constitute the fifth largest religion in the world. Almost 1 million Sikhs live in North America (the United States and Canada), but Sikhs are confused as Arabs or Muslims. Sikhs arrived in North America in 1897 and played an important role in opening and building the Panama Canal in the western part in 1904. In 1906, Sikhs set up their first guru and worship place in the United States. 7 thousand Americans and Canadians are Sikhs, Sikhism places of worship and community centers are available in almost all major cities.
