Sikh hindu intermarriage - No racist comments from anyone?

Question

What do you think. Annand Karaj = Blissful union. Many sikhs and hindus marry in India. I approve since both religions don't require conversions like other religions cough cough* islam. In my opinion i think it is good. and if the parents dont agree tough s**t. its about the couple lol the parents arent getting married. I agree because sikhism and hinduism also share a good relation ship from the Times Of guru Nanak. and spiritually and through bani etc.

Answer 1

I would think that marrying within your own religion would make the religious aspect of marriage life easier and especially when you have children and teach them about your religion. Hinduism and Sikhism do share some similarities such as the idea of rebirth. But you must know that Sikhism was founded as an alternative to the main religions of the time (Hinduism and Islam). Guru Nanak saw fundamental flaws in both religions. In regards to Hinduism he opposed the caste system, blind rituals, and most important of all Sikhism is a monotheistic religion, believing that there is one god, Waheguru. As a Sikh man, I would marry a Sikh woman as she also follows the beliefs of the Gurus. As people are born into religions i think it would be acceptable for marriage if the two partners shared similar views. I suppose its good at least to marry within one's culture to keep traditions and customs alive. I hope that helped.

Answer 2

okay I come from a hindu family, and i am indian, and i don't believe that hinduism is the best religion i dont think any religion is the best. They all have negative and positive parts about them, for example, although hinduism does not require you to convert, it is very sexist towards women. Look at the cast system there......

the point is, its not as perfect as you make it sound like it is. I dont know much about sikhs though.... but i hope you understand where im coming from.

Answer 3

It much depends upon couples. If a muslim marries to a Sikh, he/she needs conversions and vice versa. Much depends upon individuals, how their life is going on. "Karmi aapo apni- according to ones actions one is close or far from God" is Guru Nanak's saying. When people do not give rights to others, problems or conflicts start appearing. In India/ Pakistan/ Bangladesh sometimes these thinking cause riots, deaths etc. If one individuals joins other religion by choice, will it make any dent but it becomes talk of the house hold.

Patriotism is just an act of talking by many. When they move to other countries like US or Uk or Canada, they get their citizenship and loose Indian(Now there is dual citizenship). A few months back someone spread a rumor that Indian govt is imposing tax on NR Is on their foreign income, many were thinking to loose Indian citizenship. It is good to elevate our self first and not to interfere in others matters.

Answer 4

Naa i dont think its good. Even they might seem to be related but they are very different. Hinduism and sikhism arnt the same. So in my opinion where many will agree, i wouldnt agree. Plus sorry but i dont understand why islam is picked on so easly like you said no racist comments and then u write 'islam, cough cough" i dont think u needed to mention any other culture, cuz thats not the only culture that does that, there are many more.
