stopzaynmalik2k13 asked: So you don't believe that all Sikhs need to cut their hair? I consider myself Sikh and want to be more involved in this culture and religion, but I don't want people to judge me for keeping a "western" appearance :/
no, i don’t believe that all sikhs ‘need’ to cut their hair. however, if one wants to abide by the regulations set out by sikh discourse then yes, keeping your hair is one of them. if you want to become more involved, go for it! anyone who judges you harshly isn’t really following sikh ideals of love and compassion themselves. i don’t believe in the dichotomies between east/west, we humans are much too complicated for that.

mandeep sethi, one of the coolest cats in town. rocking a dastaar, baggy jeans, and his signature - a long tee. oh, also holding a peace sign, which is more than just a fashion statement for this young artist. by anonymous submission.
