The more Sikhs 'integrate', the greater the honours and awe of this extraordinary community ... Integration means explaining our ideology and history, especially now when every tool and vehicle is available online!

It is up to the educated, liberal Sikhs to explain the profound and universal beauty and truth of Sikhi to people not acquainted with Sikhism. Uneducated jathedars and other parochial political leaders of the S.G.P.C. have completely failed to do what great scholars like Bhai Vir Singh, Bhai Ditt Singh, Bhai Kahn Singh, and others started.
