at the airport once i saw a really handsome sikh guy in a powder pink suit, and sky blue tie under a cream shirt and with a perfectly matching pink turban and i was so shook honestly
Did he have a beard to match? lol
Omg they are very fashionable :D sikh guys are often so handsome
The first day of college i saw this sikh guy in a hot pink turban Oof he was so fineeeee.
There's a guy who went to my university who wore the dopest outfits and would coordinate them with his turbans. I too was always shooketh lol
Everyone likes a good head wrap :)
I was out with one of my homegirls and she's Sikh and one time this lady asked her if she was Muslim and she tells the lady no. Sure enough, the lady was like "Are you sure? You just look like one of them, so are you?" Looool my friend just simply said "Are you ignorant?" The lady had the audacity to get annoyed and made a huge scene. She said no she wasn't ignorant and then my friend just asked her "Are you sure? Cause you look like it." What's even funnier is the lady said my friend had some nerve assuming what she was based on her looks. . . the irony.
D. L. The problem isn’t Islam. Islam is just an excuse they use to be racist towards South Asian people. The media feeds the ignorants garbage and they gobble it up. Because the media tells them Islam is “evil” they think their hate can be justified.
Was she white?
Claudia A. Valencia nvm curiosity 😂😂
What a Karen
"Are you sure?".. OMG 🤣 That's not ignorance that's just narcissistic projection of her own ideas, but still NOT what you say to someone lol. I feel sorry for your friend.
"You smell like curry" 🍛
*people who say this probably stink of alcohol and cigarette* 🍺 🤮 🚬
as someone who does smell of that, i'm sorry some people are so ignorant. ( i smell like the cigs if anyone is confused)
I aint gonna lie tho those cultures do carry a particular aroma because of the foods cooked in their homes... It aint prejudice it just sticks to their clothes
@@reeset3435 alcohol with the curry, blacklabel. Cigarettes and Chai afterwards.
You give us alcohol and cigarettes, you receive curry and chai.
I love curry so much and also turmeric. Every time I have chicken I cook the left overs on a pan and pour some curry on it. It comes out so good

@@susanwilliams2392 You should be Punam's best friend in school so whenever someone calls her wrong you respond. You could make that teacher crazy.
This was great , I liked that they mentioned that Sikhs are often victims of Islamaphobia too . I think many people often forget this
I get a lot of anti-muslim abuse... Infact I never get any anti-sikh abuse, its all just because they think i'm muslim or at very least, some kind of "brown stinky bomber" lmao
Sikhs have been attacked after 9/11 by the ignorant 😂😂
If I remember correctly, the first “anti-Muslim” attack in America after 9/11 was actually against a Sikh. I don’t know which is worse, that it happened at all or that they couldn’t even get the faith right...
In countries like America Sikhs have been targeted more than Muslims.
suresh dhiman we are different from Islam . Sikhism is a dharmic religion whereas Islam is an Abrahamic religion
One of my old neighbours was a sikh and he always matched his turban to his belt. He also invited me in for tea every Friday afternoon. What a legend
Coz old folk know how to co-ordinate!
You gotta credit the old folk they are the best. I once went trick or treating (2017) and this elder woman gave me a 10 pound note. And then one year later I accidentally scraped her car with my scooter and I was sooo guilty
Oh Sikas in the world ,,

If you want debate with me ,,Please do so,,
But make sure you have a excellent understanding of History of Islam ,and islamic laws,, and good history of islam in India ,,
then lets debate oh SIKAS IN WORLD !!!
@@mohamadfazli5575 bruh you should educate yourself about the basics of Sikhism before asking for a debate
@@mohamadfazli5575 NO LIKE ACTUALLY EDUCATE YOUR SELF BEFORE YOU SPAM CHANNELS WITH THESE UNTRUE COMMENTS
I am Spanish and here in Spain what I very much like about most Sikhs is that they treat women equally and that Sikh girls work outside from home and are hard working and kind, regardless of the nationality of others. I once visited a Sikh Temple on a tourist journey to India and it was so nice to see how much they cared for others giving them food,...I think that some people just lack the knowledge and they need a kind explanation about Sikhism to appreciate it more. About racist people who want to send them "home" as a young girl one of the nicest things I recall when I reached London for the first time was seeing a Sikh worker at the airport being welcoming, smiling and waving his hand saying hello. I felt less afraid☺️
sikh people are some of the nicest people i've ever met
Well thank u xx
sophia thx!😁
sophia thanks
My first job was working for a Sikh man in his store. Super funny, loving to me and my family, and they have a very deep philosophical understanding of life.
I actually find all people some of the nicest I've ever met!.....I've met some really strange ones and they come in all shapes sizes and colours!
Every Sikh person I've ever met was super lovely
Anna nbjhfbjdh fmxnbfvj thanks
Thank you for admire the sikh community
Ur name is weirdly lovely.
I’ve so much respect for the Sikh community. They are unbelievably charitable, and really full of a love for life. It’s so unfair they experience prejudice and racism, especially in the wake of everything, but as shown here they don’t let it drag them down. They don’t seem to waste anytime on anger and hatred, and probably recognise if people say abusive things to them, it’s all their issue, not theirs
And what is your point? Do you not understand that their physical appearance invokes reaction to the naked eye?
@@tonyroy8123 That's a very stupid comment. They're not trying to make a point.
I didn't understand but hairs are helpful in meditation .
That's why every master from every major religion of this world had hairs.

I wasted but won't anymore
My late father served in the RAF with a Sikh gentleman, he was an absolute legend according to my father.

i saw a sikh charity giving out food to homeless people in london once and i was like YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS
Michael Tuohy Hi Michael, it’s a religious duty called seva. Their is a Sikh UK based charity called Khalsa Aid that performs seva in crisis zones across the world. From helping Yhadizi’s in Syria, to the earthquake in Haiti to food banks in the UK. They are pretty amazing.
oh yeah, i looked them up after i saw them and i remember reading that they were performing charity work because of a belief in sikhism, its really cool that sikhs are helping people all around the world, and yet people still want to lump them together with islamic extremists 😪
All gurduwara(sikh temple) have a food hall, called the Langar or Langur or something. They will give food to anyone of any gender, creed, colour, race, etc. You can walk in as a white, gay, disabled, religion hating male and they will happily feed you, no charge, no obligation. It's in the nature of "giving" to the community and earth.
J J that's really awesome to hear, the Sikh community it awesome 😁👌🏻
michael you can join too, alot of sikh service volunteer groups have alot of non sikh non punjabis as well, everyone is open acutally we encourage diversity, more diversity more people it attracts and the message spreads! you knw the quote you are the personality of the people you hang with the most! its true!
I live near a large Sikh community and when I see a Sikh person at the grocery store I just love looking at the clothing and turbans that they wear because each one is so unique and beautiful. I'm really glad this video was made because it did cover some of the stereotypes they get and explained some differences.
Stephanie102684 great response but it’s spelt Sikh not Sihk lol
jas nagra Thanks for pointing that out. I fixed it.
You can always approach them or google to clear doubts. Our people are friendly
Jaspreet Singh I would love to just sit and talk with someone and listen to what they have to say. I think I am just hesitant to because I don't want to come across as offensive or anything like that. Maybe I should go to the temple near my house.
Stephanie102684 they are mostly polite and love to tell others about their beliefs really energetic people just say hi to one chances are they might become your best freind as they are alot freindly
If you hv a Sikh living in ur neighbourhood ..then u re safe !!
Only if its a true Sikh and not just a born Sikh TBH
Jon Huniak ...oh...that’s mean...
Jon Huniak Jon your soft as fuck
not if u live in canada lmao. if they dont have a turban, watch out
Unless that Sikh is a pedophile or murderer, or thief or conman
When ever I see a Sikh person I feel safe and happy; that's my honest statement.
Fahrenheit thx very much 🙏🏻🙏🏻
lol that's so cute! It's really nice to hear that...like 'read'

The UK's Sikh community is fantastic, they're so loyal and patriotic that they honestly put the rest of us to shame.
Blurred picture of Mike Wazowski Many Sikh Grandpa's hold Victoria Crosses, I am a proud grandson. Love England. Thanks pal
Truth Prevail nothing can change my Punjabi heart. We co-exist, we are slaves to humanity
YourBrother Exactly. It's in Sikh philosophy to respect those who respect us.
Truth Prevail if you knew any history you would understand that Sikhs fought for freedom of a promised land and rights but never came into fruition. It takes time, I own dogs. Please refrain from insulting my people.
It is easy to hate my friend
Whether we did or did not fight alongside the British historically is irrelevant. In current day Britain there's harmony between us, unlike Islam of course.
Every Sikh friend that I have are so friendly and caring.
I remember the day at college when some bullies are messing with me and the 1 handsome 6feet tall Sikh came to help. He save me from them 4 guys 😭..... thanks u soooo much if u r reading my comment
❤
That's honestly cute❤️
Don Abraham one swallow doesn't make a spring.
Sikhs r fearless
Parth Singh Tomer Not all of them.
“You’re Sikh, have a good day” 😂😂😂😂 she’s funny
If you've never been to a Sikh temple before I advise you to visit one and eat the food, it's so good 😍, even if you don't want to pray you can go eat no questions asked
Interesting.
mark rainford honestly mate it's such good food I go once a month just to eat it
Cool. Can you take "Doggy bags"?
I'm sure you can. The "Langar"( I think thats right, I'm not really a sikh, just born from the heritage.) is intended to be a feeding hall for anyone, male, women, sikhs, non sikhs, whites, blacks etc etc etc. The friend and the enemy can even eat there. If you walk in, just take off your shoes, cover your head (there are clothes supplied for those without) and go get a tray thing and fill it with whatever you want, eat as much as you want and if you ask to take some, they'll let you. Everyone who works there does it voluntarily. If you are ever poor/homeless/hungry... Go to a gurduwara(sikh temple) and help yourself to whatever you want. They will never ever turn you down.
Warriors Prod. Who are you talking to? Nobody is discussing football. Go to the intu center
there's a TON of international students at my college and most are from India. Not all of them are Sikh of course, but the Sikh folks are so incredibly friendly and happy. They're a joy to have around! I've never met a friendlier group of people.
I read same comment in other video.
Exactly same.
Turban and a full beard, they look good together. It adds balance to the face :)

I had a Sikh teacher. Best teacher ever! He was always available to help out and genuinely cared for his students. I remember during our HSC (Year 12 in Australia), Mr. Singh invited us all for a "holiday class" but it was really just a little class gatho where he bought food for us and spoke to us about time management and managing stress during our final exams.

Sikhs aren’t offended by 90% of these questions...
We r used to it
Lol
We are supposed to remain in positive spirits. If you get offended by someone asking you innocent questions, you've lost your grounding in the peaceful Oneness.
That’s because Sikhs are very comfortable with their own identity
yep
I have several sikh friends, and one thing common in all of them, at least from my point of view is
- they love punjab, they will mention that "we are punjabi, so we do it like this" or "it's because we are punjabi", or anything, they will never forget to mention punjab in their conversations,
- even though i don't speak punjabi, they will start talking to each other in punjabi and i'm like completely lost in the conversation,
- They all love to joke around, drink, eat, they especially love chicken and curry, they love to dance out on punjabi music, do bhangra, and love to smoke a joint, at least the ones i hang out with lol.
- One last thing, they are also very friendly people, they will help you if you need help, they are fun to hang out with, they rarely talk about negative things, they are always optimistic, good people to have as friends.
Jancy Varghese they’re Punjabi not Indian.
A Sikh is not supposed to smoke joints, weed and cigarette, do any sort of drug, and are not allowed to drink alcohol (or get drunk in any way) as per the commands of our gurus... But there are almost all types of people.. But yeah thanks, no matter what most of Sikhs are good hearted people and brave..
I am a very white, pretty untraveled, Christian American and work for a Sikh man. What the hell are these questions? I've never even considered asking any of these absurd questions. We've talked about the Gurus and Christ on a few occasions, but we just work together and dont preach or ask eachother such nonsensical offensive questions. Sikhs are good people!
but they all look the same, same shade of skin and hair, brown eyes, etc.

''What about your grandparents?''
When you ask about parent/grandparents you just come of as someone who is interested... Thats just how I feel tho. I live in Norway and i have only experienced the loophole question ONCE in 23 years, and i was shook at how genius it was. It just felt like a cool and calm conversation.

It actually pisses me off when I see other people greet someone and ask what religion they are and then judge them by their answer. Who cares what religion the person is that's their own thing and they are still human beings first so treat them like one instead of making assumptions before you fully understand them and their religions

KESARI - This is a great movie, based on an incredible true story of the Battle of Saragarhi in which an army of 21 Sikhs fought against 10,000 Afghans in 1897. They fought to the last man, asking and giving no quarter. This is filmed in a beautiful land. The battle was fought at Saragarhi, a small village at border district of Kohat, situated on the Samna Range, in Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa (previously Northwest Frontier Provience) present-day Pakistan. It is filmed in Hindi, and I did not understand but a few words that were spoken in English, but knowing the story of the battle it was easy to enjoy this great movie. It has great videography, special effects, and acting. In my opinion this would be worthy of several Academy Awards. The lead actor was phenomenal These are my opinions.....feel free to make them your own.

Amrit Singh hi. I've heard that different colours in turbans have different meanings. would you mind telling me what each colour means, please? xx
What are the different turban designs for?
@vult - the different turban styles relate to where they are originated from. My style of turban is more traditional Sikh/warrior style. Others are African and Indian styles.
I didn't even know there was such a religion, haven't ever seen anyone in person with a turban. Now I know ☺️
It's the Sikh faith :)

What is a Hindu Punjabi?
Punjab is a place not a religion so may be his parents are hindu living in punjab

@@chandrabhankhakre6568 punjabi is also a ethnicity

MFO Omg good luck for that tho
MFO thank you 🙏🏽👳🏽
I feel ya
When I get asked where I'm from, I say, " from England, however my grandparents were from India".
Sikh People are very kind... My sister used to teach one kid who was sikh and he was soo cute in UAE.. well I'm Pakistani but I have always liked sikh People....
saimi we love Pakistani people
Guys if you see a Sikh say to him/her ‘sat sri akal’ Sikh greeting, meaning God is the eternal Truth
jas nagra, you aren't winding us up, are you? That possibly means "your feet look like frogs", eh?
Asymmetricalgymrat no that’s what it really mean and I’m a Sikh myself
It's unnecessary but as a gesture, sure?
@@SuperDipMonster nah dw it means that
@@SuperDipMonster no its a greeting :)
why do people have to disrespect other people’s religions. that’s wrong
Gay Italian you’re assuming every religious person does when in fact its a minority out of the majority
Gay Italian I completely agree with you. I respect everyone but I absolutely despise when people force others to conform to their ideologies and rulings which is completely wrong but that doesn’t mean everyone tries shoving their ideas down someone else’s throats. ygm
Nosheen Zahir why do certain religions impose death on people who leave it?
Gay Italian nope not Sikhs, you are free to tally your sins. We can only advise to keep you safe but if you do not take the medicine it is your call
bcz islam is environment friendly
They are Angel's on earth
Kind hearted souls
I was passed out for about 4 hours on the side of the road after a big night and a sikh man woke me up and guided me back to the nearest train station. God knows what would've happened if he hadnt done that. Love these people so much!
My son is Sikh ❤
Cem Tekin what?
Great
Good for him he’ll go a long way unlike you
and you?
Hope it is nothing serious. Get well soon.
I have a polish name in an English school. The register thing happens every single year
Zofia Milejski
Wow. That's a name that would get hugely butchered in my school. My surname is German so I get it too.
People act shocked when I say I’m an immigrant. I’m an American living in Canada.
Lol I'd imagine its even crazier for you guys cause you straight up have words without vowels hhahahha
J J my mum works with a woman called npho. It's pronounced unpoh I feel sorry for her
I'm Kenyan and I lived in America for a while... my African name was butchered so much I didn't even bother to correct it anymore
I am half Sikh, my dad is a white British man and my mum is a black Sikh and I love having 2 cultures to embrace. It’s funny as a lot of people have called me Hawaiian. I also have been question about my religion, and no, I am not Sikh. I am a proud Christian! I believed in god before my dad said to me he was Christian. It makes me smile when my dad tries my mums curry and my mum tries my dads English breakfast. Also my friends try on some saris that I wear to the gurdwara with my grandma.
Just curious, but why did you choose Christianity over Sikhism?
Just curious, black Sikh? Did she convert?
@@mintyt3392 I was naturally drawn to Christianity, I went to both Churches and Gurdwara’s but I felt more connected at church. Don’t let me and my opinion faze you and your beliefs though!
@@WastedBananas I mean that my mum is Indian, when I said black I meant her skin tone
I was thinking to cut of my hair to look like other but now I knew the people respect my ansistor region I don.t wana do this sorry my inner singh soul,,waheguru ji ka Khalsa waheguru ji ki Fateh
Dont cut.. use Turbant.. I respect so much your religion and turbant its one thing most important in sikhism. Please.. dont stop use.. and dont cut hair. Sikhism are so beautiful religion and have all my respect.
Waheguru Ji 🙏🏽📿

❤❤❤ Proud to be a sikh. ❤❤❤
I also find people get relieved when I tell them I'm not Muslim. I just try not to clarify now. I keep my background ambiguous. I don't want to be friends with small minded people
People that defend muslims deserve to live with them when they are a majority
Its not about being small minded it is justifiable fear. I have read the koran, they are told to kill us where they find us. In the west not many want too but it only takes one that does.

"Are you Muslim?"
"No."
"Are you sure?" 😂
Saying: "Are you sure?", meaning: "Should we beat the hell out of you?".
@@Peristerygr sikhs: “You just try and I'll send you to God in no time”
Don't forget..Sikhs were and are some of the most bravest and most badass warriors ever, that's why we have Singh as our surname.. Meaning: “Lion” which was given by Guru Gobind Singh ji (The 10th enlightened Master) an example is The Great Battle of Chamkaur where only 40 Singhs (sikh warriors) defeated 10,000 Mughals army.. So better watch out
@@jasjeetsingh6220 actually 40 soldiers fought 1 million mughals very bravely Sikhs lost the battle but they bought it really bravely that's why it's a historic battle
Edit:- you can search more on google
@@fearlessuntold1891 yeah that's true.. but the great thing is that those brave 40 Sikh Warriors caused casualties of thousands and thousands to Mughals..
@@jasjeetsingh6220 yes
and sikh men are beautifuuuulll love from guadeloupe
Sikh men and women wear turbans who are conscientiously practicing their religion. #Preserve Sikh Identity# Turban for Man and Woman #God bless
Wherever a Sikh is in world all Indians they follow words of Gurus very devoutedly thank you sister
Nah, they are playing dress up like when little boys pretend they are cowboys or policemen. Putting a hat on and growing pubes out of your face doesn't make you a spiritual warrior. Nothing you do on the outside will bring you Oneness. Nanak's message was Oneness, not costume wearing.

A wonderful Sikh lives in my building. He is so kind and has taught me alot.
I've never met a Sikh who I didn't like and respect. Great people.
There is something so gracious about Sikhs.
My Sikh friend told me his story about growing up in the UK, it went like this...
innnn West side of Birmingham, born and raised
Gurdwara is where I spent a few of my days
Chillin out maxing, relaxing all cool and wearing me turban at home and at school
Well a couple of guys they were up to no good
Starting being rascist in my neighbourhood
I got in one little fight, but my Mum didn't care, she said
"We're proud to be Sikh and you can't cut your hair"
Me dad drove a cab, and when it got near, it didn't smell too fresh and it was missing a mirror
I didn't want to cabby, and that's not rare, so I moved down to London and got a job there
I
first
bought one house, and then seven or eight
And I yelled to my boss "I quit, see you later!"
Now I chill out and often declare, it's good to be a Singh and a millionaire
Wowowow that is SeNsAtIoNaL no lie❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I haven't met any Sikhs here in America myself, but have went down a rabbit hole on CZcams. All of the values and beliefs I have learned about the religion today is what I have felt since I was a young child. I didn't grow up with religion, but never wanted to cut my hair because that's the way I was born, am vegetarian, volunteer, want to grow spiritually, etc. I honestly feel at home and at peace within myself after learning more. I never really connected with a religion the way I have today. I am getting a copy of Guru Granth Sahib to learn more ❤️
