Canada backs Sikh dagger rights  Canadian Sikhs should be allowed to wear small daggers central to their faith when they go to school, the country's Supreme Court has ruled. In an 8-0 judgement, the court reversed the ruling of a Montreal school board, which banned Gurbaj Singh Multani from wearing his dagger, known as a kirpan. The kirpan is deemed sacred by Sikhs as a symbol of power and truth. School authorities banned the kirpan in 2001 after an objection by a parent concerned about pupil security. Announcing the judgement, the Supreme Court said that a total ban on kirpans violated the country's Charter of Rights. The charter guarantees total religious freedom within Canada.

They are not to fond of the Hindus either. Hardcore Warrior Race. The name 'Singh' is universal - it means Lion! They are the most hardworking and law abiding people you can know. They live by these 3 'Golden Rules'……… The Three Golden Rules Naam Japo: - meditation and prayer on the Name of God in Sikhism, which is "Waheguru", it is also called the 'Gur-Manter'. Naam Japna is the repetition of this name. Kirat Karo: - Honest earnings, labor, etc. while remembering the Lord. Vand Chakko: - Share with others in need, free food (langar), donate 10% of income Dasvand, 10% of time in doing work to better humanity |
