Actually most Singhs aren’t Sikhs.

Most Sikhs are Singhs (at least it seems that way), but apparently there are way more Hindu Singhs than there are Sikhs.

Thanks.

Learn something new every day.

In either case, they’re not mohammedans. Just foul rapists, who deserve to die.

Interesting that both the victim and the perpetrator are named “Singh”. Is the name really common in that area?

*ALL* devout male Sikhs usually adopt the surname of Singh (Lion in Hindi). It is actually part of traditional Sikh religious belief, as much a part of the devout, practicing Sikh as the kirpan (dagger) on his person.

That there exist Sikhs who do not follow this tradition is a fact not unknown to me, but the majority of practicing Sikhs do follow this tradition, so much so that whenever I hear someone has the surname of Signh, I pretty much assume that the bearer of the name is a practicing Sikh (yeah, I know I *could* be wrong, but more often than not, it holds true...)
