We want better role models
Narinderpal Singh Fri June 01
 

I am disappointed at your selection of some of your articles.... If one of the reasons the site (Sikhe.com) was established was to provide a source of inspiration to Sikhs through out the world you are headed down the wrong path...

Publishing the articles (Sikhe.com, May 30, News Headlines Today) about Nurinder Kaur in a bathing suit? Do you think this is in line with Sikh practices???? Do you think she will serve as a source of inspiration/role models to Sikh girls raised in the west? Do you think wearing a bikini is in line with Sikh beliefs??? If she is wearing a bikini I am willing to bet that she shaves her legs and underarms. A large percent of Sikh girls in Britain have a reputation of being promiscuous.... This type of news is probably better suited for a gossip/trash newspaper....

On the same lines the picture of Paul Singh (Sikhe.com, June 01).... well how nice.... a Sardar with a CHRISTIAN first name...What an inspiration to all those Sikhs that have Sikh names that are born and raised in the west that are told by whites how they cannot pronounce their names... the solution: change your name to one acceptable by the majority. When I was in England I actually met a Keshdhari Sikh whose name was John.... His sir name was also English.

Both of these articles, to be blunt, are not news.... you should be a little more selective.... Did you know that the man who produced the music video for REM's "Loosing my Religion" was Sikh! Is this the type of inspiration we need? You need to show that Sikhs of Guru Gobind Singh can over come obstacles and still succeed in life without compromising our beliefs.
