Why is Sikhism largely ignored in the West? Seems like a pretty cool religion.


/His/, what do you know about Sikhs and their beliefs?

Sikhs are nice but the turban rule is objectively shit

Try wrapping your ass-length hair into a tiny piece of cloth and walk around in 45 degree heat all day. It fucking stinks.

Because people confuse it with Islam and we all know how the west feels about that.

Starting off strong, good discussion starter.

>/His/, what do you know about Sikhs and their beliefs?

literally just google Sikhism if you wanted to know about the religion, I'm tired of half the threads on here being an easily answered question and not a discussion.


Anyway Sikhism is interesting because of its relationship with both Islam and Hinduism, the religions that surround it and outnumber it in terms of followers. The Sikh Empire is pretty cool too, they had a bunch of European mercenaries fighting with them, guys from Scotland and France and stuff. Worth a google if you want some good reading.

I agree. However, turbans make them look pretty badass desu.

Because it has less then like a billion followers and there hasn't been any Holocaust against them. You either need a 1,000,000+ followers or genocide sympathy points to be one the major religions.

No shit.

If you actually want to learn something about a certain topic you should obviosuly google it or read a book about it. We all know that, Sherlock...

No one comes here to learn stuff. People come here to shitpost and to win arguments against random autists by posting 'dank' memes.
If you are here for actual historical knowledge, or for that matter any sort of credible knowledge, you've come to the wrong place.

It's still the world's 5th biggest religion. It has more followers than Judaism. However, very few people know about it.

Sikhs are 1,000,000+ and experienced a genocide.

It's just Islam + Hinduism in the form of 20M followers.

You should look up the In Our Time podcast from the BBC. Then search for the episode on the Sikh Empire.
