when i was homeless, a sikh man used to come and bring me food every night, wish i could remember his name Edit: to everyone criticising me for not remembering his name I was in a very dark place in my life, and most of the time I would just say "mate" or "pal" when we spoke and we talked about more important things than names, he listened to me when the rest of the world closed their eyes to my pain, he seen me talking McDonald's out of a bin when I met him with hundreds of people walking past like I didn't exist so before you criticise me walk a mile in my shoes, to everyone being nice though, thank you so much for the kind words ♥️☺️

Gotta respect a religion whose martyrs die for the freedom of *other religions*.

I’m Sikh myself, I saw this video and was curious to see what people thought of us. I’m happy to see all the kind words.

Being raised Roman Catholic, but turning agnostic in adulthood, Sikhism resonates the closest.

A Sikh family owned the convenience store on the street where I grew up. I’d go to buy a can of pop and stand at the register for half an hour talking to the owner about the religion, life, philosophy, random stuff like that. When his mother was on the register we’d do the same. When I got into university they were so happy for me they told me to walk around the store and take what I wanted for free 😂 I just asked for a bag of sweets and a can of pop. My mum died two years into my uni course, and when I went into the store to buy cigarettes (I’m a stress smoker), the family truly felt for me. The elderly mum hugged me, it felt like such a powerful moment bc I didn’t have any family left. They came to our house that day and gave me like £500, and on the day of the funeral they all stood outside the store as the hearse drove passed. I’ll never forget seeing it. This video explains so much of how they treated me so kindly. They knew I was from a poor background and couldn’t afford a funeral all on my own, they knew that I lived in an unsafe area and were proud to see me grow up and claw my way out with a good education. They sold the store last year to get themselves out of that same bad neighbourhood. I’ve never been treated with such honest kindness before, and it shocked me at the time. Truly lovely people. I don’t think I could ever be that generous.

sikh's population in india maybe 2% but their population in indian army is over 20%. They are highly respected in every part of India.

I love how so many of us atheists are in awe of Sikhs. I think I’m in love with Sikhism. I’ve never heard of a religion that is at this level of moral excellence. Truly a beacon of hope in a world of religiously motivated violence and discrimination.

As a non religious person, I find Sikhism to be comparitvely helpful/useful to the rest of the humanity.

No matter what religion you are, you have to admire the Sikhs

Now I know why this isn’t universally known. It makes too much sense.

If you are reading this as a Sikh person, please know how march your religion made an impact on me growing up. My religion was the opposite and your theology was so hard for me to imagine when I was still fully indoctrinated. The kindness so many families exhibited to me and my friends was undeserved ❤

Every Sikh I have ever met has been so nice to me regardless of me being covered in tattoos and nails painted black. Some of the nicest respectful people I have ever met. If there is a god, they come directly from his heart.

I love the Sikh community and it's people. When I was hungry barley able to pay my rent, a Sikh fella at my gas station offered me dinner nightly. Saved me at my worst.

In recent second wave of Corona when most of Indians facing shortages of medical oxygen, shikhs organising and providing oxygen cylinders totally free in their holy temple without any religion discrimination.. they saved thousands of lives..We are proud of them🙏

If I was religious, I'd definitely convert to Sikhism this is the coolest religion I've ever heard of

In tears. Not only have you educated those unfamiliar with our faith but you’ve also reminded me how important my religion is to me. Thank you for igniting that fire within me and making me want to become a better sikh ❤️

This is such a wholesome comment section, I am really starting to feel Sikhism is a religion of peace

Sikhism sounds like a very beautiful and kind hearted religion!

I worked for a sikh like a decade ago and i felt so bad when he told me how he couldn’t get a job with his turban on. So he shaved and doesn’t wear it. He is such a decent nice person and people person. That always stuck with me....
