If you want to be a sardar don't expect "easy". I am curious as to what job he got with his hair cut that he could not get wearing a pagg. If you are committed to being a sardar you would rather starve than cut your hair....or you could just hustle harder for a job. From my experience the majority of people who cut their hair then claim it was because of school, work, etc are just making excuses to justify whey they cut it.

Before you read, please note, that I'm not intending to offend anyone. If I have done that, I apologize.

I agree with Swi. When I see the video, it's so inherent for any colored person or religious person different from Christian upbringing to say "RACIST" when something doesn't go as planned.

 But what exactly did this guy say that was racist? He said non-denominational. The idea was to create a blind eye in the hiring process so there was no distraction or disruption to efficiency of the business and service. Just like the Husband in the last 2 minutes agreeing with his wife. That guy said he was raised to be blind. Isn't that what the hiring manager was attempting to do? Be blind to ALL religions?
It makes me think, aren't there times in this life where we must also be blind to religion as well? I am not saying forget who you are. I'm saying aren't there times where survival for any reason takes precedence over firm belief? If you cannot survive, what exactly are you preserving?

Now, the old lady at 2 minutes or whatever wasn't as articulate as she could have been, but her point was this: When do you draw the line between pride and survival? I mean please, let's talk about this. Our ancestors from each of our religions sacrified, killed, and shed blood in wars and battles to preserve the sanctity of a creed that we were born into, and that we choose to follow on a regular basis right? But they were attempting to survive when the meaning of that word went hand and hand with their identity. Once they carved the identity and the religion was established, is it possible  that they knew well in advance that life and society's boundaries would change from that point on? Is it possible for Guru's and priests to know that people would be more accepting of your religion, or in this day and age, begin to make decisions on a logical basis and not an emotional/religious basis?

I would argue, PROBABLY NOT, because that is why we are encouraged each day to show your faith in some form or another. We are encouraged to show it openly and proudly because we should be respected. But, is it possible that we can all become more logical and realize that we no longer have to have that mentality, unless it is warranted?

I'm speaking from the position of my personal beliefs. I was raised Hindu, and yes I do pray as a Hindu would, but I believe in equality just as much as a Sikh does. I believe in custom and code of conduct just as much as a Muslim would. So really, when I think about my personality, I don't think about 1 religion that defines me. Religion helped me become who I am, but it is not who I am now. So I stay a distance away from it in order to survive. In order to think rationally.

It was not racist, as wearing a pagg is not about race. However, asking someone to take off their pagg in order to be hired is xenophobic and bigoted.

But, I am not sure where you are going with this post. Are you suggesting the sardar character in this scenario should compromise and make a "logical decision" of removing his pagg?
