Though the Sikh qaum has successfully faced down significant external threats to our way since 9/11, the current external threats to our identity outweigh our victories. The legal system does not all Sikhs to freely carry their Kakars (articles of faith) in all segments of U.S. society and most Americans still associate Sikhs with terrorism and Al Qaeda. This presentation will discuss these threats in detail as well as opportunities to address them going forward.
This liv discusses about understanding what it takes to spearhead long and tortuous legal crusade to gain justice for the victims of 1984 anti-Sikh pogroms and fight political leaders despite the government cover-up.
Consciousness needs expression in the physical self as ideology needs expression in social practice. Both are interdependent and causal. From its origins, the Sikh world has remained steadfast against an onslaught of denigrating forces, while simultaneously embracing the right to rational egalitarian thought. However, today there are undeniably disruptive tremors within the Sikh world— destructive energies which inject a character that is both essentially "Brahminical" in theory and praxis. In this context the Sikh must transform both his or her inner and outer world so as to preserve the teachings of freedom for society as enunciated in the Guru Granth Sahib, as well as his or her own freedom in its most pure and sacred form.
