Sikhs wear their knives with no harassment

Many wear ceremonial knives that cannot do much. A sikh leader in Wisconsin died defending his congregation with one. Heroic. ut it would bave been better if he had the realthing.

Do you know why Sikhs carry a knife (even ceremonial)? I am ok with it.

Sikhs are expected to embody the qualities of a Sant Sipahi or "saint-soldier", showing no fear on the battlefield and treating defeated enemies humanely. The Bhagat further defines the qualities of a sant sipahi as one who is "truly brave...who fights for the deprived"
