Was again sitting here wondering about life and then it came to my attention that there is such a huge topic within the Sikh nation which has never been covered. The Caste System!

| Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaaj abolished the Caste system so why is it still around today? |
In Sikhi there is no such thing as a caste system, we are all equal, all brothers and sisters under the father who is Waheguru Ji. The beloved Guru's have never adopted the caste system, Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaaj abolished the caste system so why do we still follow this? Is it a cultural ideology? Sure isn't religiously based!
There are many different castes which have been thrown in to the abyss of society. We have Jatt who are meant to be the highest class, Terkhan (apologies for spelling) which is sort of middle class, Chamar which is of the low caste and many more such as Saini and Bhaman. This caste system had originated from the Hindu nation within India where they had came up with a social hierarchy to distinguish what people's status was in their homeland. So why did we adopt this way of life?
In regards to Sikhi, we are all one, we are all equal and all Waheguru's children. So why do we start sniggering at others when we see somebody of a lower status? Personally I believe there should be no caste system at all, It is a pathetic way of life to think that you are better than somebody else.
Sangat Ji may I ask you this question. You go to Nagar Kirtans, Go to the Gurdwara, Go on protest marchs for Sikh human rights what do you see? I see brothers and sisters united under Waheguru Ji, I don't see a Terkhan or a Jatt, I see a Sikh! Our identity is Sikh not anything from that pathetic excuse of a social hierarchy so I urge you all to please abolish this from our way of life, remember that Waheguru made us as equals and equals we shall remain. You are all my brothers and sisters of Sikhi and nothing different!
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh
