IMPORTANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SIKHS & UDASIS
In 1926 the Lahore High Court passed a judgement that Udasis are not Sikhs. A large number of differences between Sikhs and Udasis have been detailed. The most important are :
* Udasis wear clothes of ochre colour - Sikhs do not.
* Udasis may or may not have long hair - Sikhs are enjoined to. Cutting the hair is an act of apostasy.
* Udasis are not enjoined to keep the five kakkaars - Sikhs are.
* Udasis need not be initiated in the ceremony of Pahul - Sikhs must.
* Caps are the peculiar badges of Udasis - Sikhs are prohibited from wearing them.
* Udasis observe Hindu rites and ceremonies - Sikhs do not.
* The chief object of worship of Udasis is the ball of ashes - this is condemned by the Sikhs. Udasis adore samadhs - Sikhs do not.
* Udasis may smoke - Sikhs may not. Smoking is an act of apostasy.
* Udasis employ Brahmins - Sikhs are not allowed to.
* Udasis perform shraadh (ancestral rites of offering food to the dead) - Sikhs do not.
* Udasis observe the caste system - Sikhs do not.
