Question about Sikhism?

Question

Do many sikh women actually follow the ritual of not shaving/cutting/waxing any body hair? Or is it just a few?

I'm not trying to be disrespectful or to make fun of the religion. I like sikhism and I'm just wondering since it would be hard for women nowadays to actually follow this?

Answer 1

Sikh

Profile:
Name: Sikhism
Founded: 1499
Text(s): Sri Guru Granth Sahib ("Noble Book", also known as the Adi Granth, "First Book")

Founder:
Name: Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji (known as Guru Nanak)
Born: 1469 in the Punjab (modern Pakistan)
Died: 1538

Pronunciation:
A special note about the pronunciation of the word Sikh is in order because most English speakers tend to pronounce it as "seek." In fact, it should be pronounced "se-ikh." Both of the letters in the kh should be used, as with the name Mikhail Gorbachev.

The word sikh comes from Pali sikkah (Sansckrit: sisya), which means "disciple."

Also Known As: Sikhism

Answer 2

Sikhism has rejected the caste system. The Jatts a people (IAST: Jāṭ, Hindi: जाट, Punjabi: ਜੱਟ جاٹ, Urdu: جاٹ‎) of Northern India and Pakistan, are a ethnic group descendants of Indo-Scythian tribes. There are 31 million Jatts in South Asia.

Answer 3

The Sikh women I've met were very devout and stayed covered up all the time, head included. I imagine these are the women who do not shave. So it's no hardship.

Answer 4

its not hard not to shave.... how could it be? shaving would require you to do something. Now not growing hair would be hard.

Answer 5

sounds like a cult to me and barbaric too
