Equal status for Women in Sikhism

 
   
 

The issues that face the world in various religions can be attributed to human relations between both sexes and religious cultures. May it be Christianity, Hinduism, Islam or Sikhism the root causes boil down to relations between man and woman. The creator created this world for animated beings out of which the two sexes are supreme. The creator with specific actions and responsibilities equally created both sexes. Men and women adopted them naturally, being natural instincts. Both must procreate together. None of them can procreate independently. Man being little stronger than woman physically, tries to dominate. This domination so far as his duties to toil for earning bread for family is acceptable, but beyond that point when it comes to dictating, controlling and overpowering the weaker sex is naturally unacceptable. This type of aggressive behavior by man towards women is questionable. This attitude in general is also responsible to bring lot of complicated problems in various social systems and religions as well.

Sri Guru Granth Sahib is Eternal Guru of Sikhs and is a sacred scripture of the world, suitable for a universal religion for humanity. Many Holy men and philosophers in the world think that it is a unique treasure of spiritualism and a noble heritage for the mankind. It is the Living Guru for Sikhs.

Pope visited Australia during recent months. The burning issues that need to be solved are that Christian priests molested certain citizens. The effected citizens met Pope to draw his attention. Not only this, there were news of priests seeking permission for gay marriages. There are many other issues too.

In Hinduism, the priests of temples and so called Godmen had been indulging in unnatural acts. Many examples can be quoted like religious heads getting in to rackets of handling black money to convert in white with a cut for themselves. It is ironical that they preach publicly to refrain from MAYA. Even rapes and murders took place in such religious places and the cases are in courts.

Muslims do not allow women in Masjids as it is perceived that they are unclean. There are problems faced by clergy about TALAK (divorce) issues. Indian constitution and the rights as per Muslim law do not agree and issue is hanging.

Sikhism is no exception. In first place the Deras that sprung like mushrooms in Punjab and surrounding states had been involved in all sorts of unnatural and unsocial acts, which can put a commoner to shame. But these Deras enjoy the patronage of politicians. Obviously the Deras get involved in vote politics as they have followers (vote Banks) whom they can direct to vote for or against any political party of their choice. The history witnessed this fact and this is one of the reasons that Deras are not only getting developed with greater speed due to particular religious sect but support from outside with vested interests as well. Even the religious body of Sikhs SGPC called mini parliament also gets involved in criticism for wrong reasons.

Sikhism, being modern and young, follows philosophy, which is natural and believes in one creator and equal status for all human beings.…

Guru Gobind Singh's following Hymns states..

Article Quote

Some men are Hindu & other Muslims, among whom are Rafezis, Imams and Shafis. Know that all men are of the same caste.
Al men have the same eyes, same ears, the same body, and the same buildup. A compound of earth, air, fire & water.

Guru Nanak’s philosophy of equality for all humans was followed and further developed by the Gurus till the Guru Granth ascended Gurgaddi as eleventh Guru which has sacred Hymns written by Gurus, Bhagats, and Bhatts. Guru Nanak had clear thoughts for Humanity as he spoke/wrote what came to him from the creator:

As the Word of the Forgiving Lord comes to me, so do I express it, O Lalo.
