Thanks morning_rain & febpreet.
I think we should stop attending functions or going temples/gurdwara where this religious mania is supported.

Rahul, I don't agree with you that we should stop going to the Gurudwara because of them but I agree that we should stop supporting them.
Gurudwara is with Guru and Sangat and I am sure Sangat itself is guru.
We have Guru Grath Sahibji in Gurudwara and we are going there because of love and bond with the Guru.
Everybody who wears turban or goes to Gurudwara is not Sikh. Sikh means student who follows gurus teaching. Our history is full of sacrifice not violence, so we should teach them with peace. May be: by not putting any money in GOLAK as its the root cause of fights instead give money to Bhai who is doing Kirtan or Katha and trying to get us closer to Guru.
These people we talking about just want control over GOLAK, they do not have anything with Guru's teaching and they are not Sikhs in true sense.

I agree with you 'word by word'. These 'Khalistanis' or those attract controversies year over year are only interested in money and power. They don't have anything to do with Sikhism or being a Sikh. Cause of Punjab or Punjabi's is least of their worry. In my opinion, he/she who follows and practices Guru's teachings is a true Sikh and a good human being. Symbolism has nothing to do with it.
I agree with Kalpna & febpreet and like to take my words back.
But I feel very uncomfortable when there are pics of terrorists in Gurdwara's basement and we just ignore it. Means we don’t care and some bad people think as a silent support from us?

Thats what I feel. Apathy is one of the worst of the human conditions. Its not our problem. Why should we get involved. Why should we speak up? However a lot of time its due to fear for one's own safety.

I feel the same while looking at these pictures. That should be the place for Guru's Sakhis and History for the kids. The History they are displaying there is not Sikhs history its terrorists history.
I remember this line of Assa do Vaar to calm myself:
moorkhai naal na lujhee-ai. ||19||
Don't argue with fools. ||19||
and try to go to Gurudwara for Guruji because I want to get closer to Guru and Bani for these people I can not ignore my Guru and respect.
Raeni rahai soiee Sikh mera, ohu Sahib mai uska chera- He is a Sikh who follows the discipline/teachings, he is my master and I am his slave.
In India also every other Baba (Dhongi) is trying to take Guru Granth Sahibji's place, its so unfortunate that we do not understand the fact that our Tenth Guru was so visionary and knew this will happen and didn't include his Bani in Guru Grath Sahib and sacrificed his everything for others. Guru Teg Bahadur ji is called Hind Ki Chaadar and what these terrosists are doing?
