Money, control of fund, quick rich dream. Gurdwars are controlled by rich Zamidars. Even different sects are popped up some rich guy in block who is not happy with respect he is getting from other group.
My observation -
Sikh population is in decline. Even reflected in last census report.
Couples of factors are responsible â
a) Abortion or female foeticide is very high; especially in rural Punjab. Sex ratio difference is very high, highest in India, may be in world.
b) Rural population used to be Sikhs after mass conversion earlier; now rural population is moving into city and started shedding Sikh symbols.
c) After Khalistan movement, mixed marriages have stopped and also warrior race image shattered in 80s and 90s.
d) Addiction to drugs and alcohol is growing very fast, especially in rural area. In some area every house is affected.
e) No more conversion
f) Immigration to west or copying western values.
