With my few visits to Punjab, I have come to know a few things about the much-hyped religion which is Sikkhism. The state which is PUNJAB, certainly after 84 or even before that is engulfed by all those people who were from the hard-working peasants and on the other hand their headman who owned land and resources. With a constant clash between the two thoughts of the person who is the one who can produce the rotis (Bread) which is the agriculturists or the other one who owns the land and the other one who own the land, there use to be a constant struggle between them which was not seen as they were bound together by the Sikh Gurus who were much into educating them and trying to bind the community together.
After, 84 riots which all happened because of Bhindrawale and the constant tussle between the then Indira Government along with the issues related to Swarn Mandir could not see anything more than the worst crisis between the Hindu and Sikh people who went into bloodshed and most of the original Sikhs fled India and settled into better territories all over the world from Canada to Australia.

If we see the percentage of Sikh in World Population from the above links it stands out to be 0.39% and the thought of all those turban seekers who could be the not so turban holders as in many cases where the person has to open up his turban and show it during security drills or checking on airport must be feeling ashamed but one has to understand that it is certainly not a work of shame as the unity which is not prevalent among any one of them and certainly they try to pull each other down just to get ahead of each other in terms of money and resources.
Now, thinking on the other hand the Hindus who are basically the Sharma and the Khatris in Punjab have turned out to be more well off as they concentrated on saving their money rather than showing themselves to be extravagant so much of the Punjab prosperity is because of the hard work which is done by the so-called Monas or the Non-Sikhs as termed by the Sikh themselves. I recall one person during my school days when a guy called Aman Deep Sekhon who was not from the Sikh community use to speak highly about the religion and himself was not a person with turban still apart from having tussle during the game periods in football were not against each other.
If during the Inter -School games in which all students are into different groups he once was a stand-in goalkeeper and was not defending any single goal, so I was a spectator and was cheering up my team. I immediately asked him why he is not defending any of the goals and not even trying to stop the goals. The answer was "84 ka badla le raha" hoon. I could not say anything more but said that this is a sports arena and you will be unable to make your career if your thoughts will revolve around 84 riots only. After all these years when I look back towards the history we can see any other fools or vagabond shouting in the name of Mr, Bhindrawale and trying to turn out as a protestor in his name.
The state which gives the lowest in terms of money in the form of the wages to any peasants or maybe any executive is dependent on agriculture and it is more of the trucker's union who cannot grow unless they get the best way to rein them which is under the reins of POLICE and ARMY which is done by the Indian Government. With drugs being in the veins of all those Punjabis who work as Punjabis khalasis or truck drivers they do not leave any chance of creating problems in the life of the Hindus and thus they are united against them which is nothing wrong as it is needed to save their assets and properties in a much volatile state. With a continuous affinity towards Pakistan, it is always a questionable state and thus the military or the army is always on the vigil which is good for the Indian territory.
So, tying a turban and thinking of becoming a Punjabis has become as easy as changing the shoes and giving the style which could be done by many others and also one could see the woman also trying to keep turban just like any heroine in earlier movies which could be nothing rather a fluke. Also, with easy availability of food at places like Gurdwara, it attracts millions of underprivileged people from Bihar and other states take it as a way to earn into various agricultural units and have the food for free which certainly has to be paid back in terms of many other ways which is cheap labor and the other things where they try to put the person under the cloud of being anti-social which they do not consider a crime.
Now, think about the Shantikunj Haridwar where the Gayatri Mantra was taught by Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya who has many takers but if we go through the Gayatri Mantra this is the simplest form of the reciting of Vedas and the Upanishads and can be done by anyone without being a devout bhakt or any sort of a person where there is no need of any yagopvit or any forms diksah. So, one could understand that all these Gurus and their pakhands are about giving importance to themselves and one could not get anything out of it but constantly working towards one own upliftments leads to getting into the rights source of mind from where one could grow to some extent or manifolds all according to the hard work and planning in the career which could be multiple as today the career is not about just holding the engine's knob and working as piecemeal worker into a small factory but it could be done in all possible ways to gain through the mind which evolves rather than stay stubborn and talk about a year in the history for which Indian Government has paid many folds in the form of putting resources and cheques which was certainly not for any other community. caste or religion in India and not even Hinduism which is the primary religion of the country!
