question - is it offensive to true gyanis or to sardars?

 

[faizan]

ohhh, i get it...it's kind of like a joking way of say someone is reliegious...west punjabis call religious people HAAJI SAAB jokingly, but it's kind of derogatory. Punjabis love making fun of religious people, haha...although i don't think it should be this way...

question - is it offensive to true gyanis or to sardars?

probably both. gyani implies someone backward and traditional rather than what it actually means, since most "gyanis" today aren't actually educated scholars. some socially unaware ppl in canada use 'gyani' as a term implying that because u have a turban u are religious....but in sikhism u can't really be religious. to be a "religious" sikh is to be open-minded and tolerant...so it doesn't fit. most sikhs are moderate on the mainstream religious spectrum because sikhism doesn't advocate blind belief or exclusion. sure, there are some who misconstrue it and make sikhism more "religious," but the majority of turban-wearing sikhs are moderate/liberal.

i'm not a psychology major, but the term gyani might be used by some as an indirect way to justify cutting their hair..."if u keep ur hair ur backward, old, like a 'gyani'. gyanis aren't cool"

is that really the implication? that's awful...i've only heard the nickname "gyani" kept for people who are more knolwedgable in the writings,practices & history of sikhism/actual gyanis. that's really awful...

we don't really know the implication, i'm pretty sure Tuckerrrrrrrr is just saying that COULD be a reason. Outside of the term being used for "scholars" , i've mainly heard the term gyani being used for sardars from canadians on this forum. it was a first to have heard it, and its quite an odd term to use for a sardar. When you see someone say..."This gyani really knows how to drink!", its an odd statement to make if you understood what the words means. I think a number of us have said numerous times to put the word gyani to rest (when describing a sardar), it becomes offensive, especially when you're making FUN of them (since that seems to be the joke of the video).

One instance i've heard someone call me a gyani was when i was the only sardar in the a group of other clean shaven sikhs. Since I was the only sardar there, i somehow became a gyani. It was odd, and I never really understood rationale.
