I was trying to create a new topic under Sikh History and this is where it ended up...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Well this is what I observed from a very popular Sikh site under discussion titled "Judgement of Sikh boys and men"
Hardeep123456 is wondering why so many Sikh girls are not willing to marry a turbanned Sikh. Surinderpal S Suman calls this girls' preference as "selfish requirements of manmukhs". In other words, he calls girls selfish and manmukh, which clearly isn't behavior of good Sikh as name calling is probably isn't behavior of a good sikh.
I try to post that this is girls' choice whomever they want to marry and I got a response from the moderators, "Your opinion is fine on another forum. This is a Sikh forum where hair is considered mandatory and the comment was, as we
understand, regarding Sikh matrimonial." In other words, they fully support that sikh girls should not have right to choose.
So, I sent them another message asking why they think Sikhism is dogmatic and why they allowed participants to call those girls selfish and manmukh and they responded, "A Sikh is expected to marry a Sikh. Someone who wants to be identified as Sikh but does not live like one is, a Manmukh."
There have been some incidents in past in Bangadesh that some guys threw acid on the girls' face because they refused to marry them. Looking at behavior described in the posts regarding this issue, it seems some of the Sikhs today are getting the same mentality of fanatics.
