These are words that were uttered by the founder of Sikhism, Sri Guru Nanak Dev in about 1499. So for Sikhs from that period, there has been compulsion to treat women as equals and gender discrimination was not allowed.

Misuse of Equality with men

Killing Hairs

"Kesh" one of the five kakkars of sikhism. Today girls dunno believe in natural look. They want to give their own look by using dyes, Cutting here etc etc and etc. Kanga is provided to set up the hairs but in vein. Waxcing

Dressup

Drugs and Intoxicants

Lustful

"Kaur" Removal from Names

Kaur means "princess" and is a name that should used as the last name by female Sikhs. This custom was first introduced in 1699 by Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru when he administered Amrit(baptism) to both males and female Sikhs. All female Sikhs were asked to use the name Kaur after their forename and males were to use the name Singh, meaning "lion". This custom further confirmed equality to both genders as was the tradition set by the founder of Sikhism, Guru Nanak. For a sikh born family kaur is automatically introduced to as a last name.

But today girls are removing kaur out from there names and put their surnames or clans instead of kaur. Kaur is of less reference to them then their surname. For eg :A jatt Sikh girl here lives whose proper name is Paravydeep Kaur Nijjar, but she likes her to call Paravydeep Nijjer. Sly a girl name Samia Kaur Arora call her Samia Arora. Where are their identity. This shows the discrimination as guru jee provide the name to all female not to discriminate on the basis of caste and they provide the name kaur, that every female is princess here but the sikh women do not accept this last name. Again Caste Discrimination, Patit Sikh concept generate. This is mostly seen in girls of Jatt and Khatri community. Latest news shows a girl hates 'Kaur' in her name, wanted certificate she is a Sikh. There are many examples like these.
