Jas had never drank alcohol, smoked cigarettes, did any sort of drugs or illegal substances. Well ok maybe, just those which his doctor prescribed for him when he had a cold or flu! In his life he had always kept himself pure. He never felt the need to have such stupid things. People always say we need to smoke or need alcohol to make us feel on a buzz so they were able to socialise better.
Jas always saw it differently. He always said he could get on the same buzz with coke, he would always mock others by saying it’s cheaper too! What more do you want a cheap night out and you come home without anticipating a hangover the following morning. He kept himself pure to the extent of not even having a girlfriend his friends would always say Jas “Why don’t you have a girlfriend?” He would usually reply “I’m still looking for the right one.” Little did they really know the real reason.
It’s a very great thing especially in the Indian society today with regards to boys. The world was boy crazy at one point. Families have the biased opinion that girls are not able to uphold the family name because they marry into a new family. When you actually sit and think about how silly it all really is, everything else just falls into perspective. Caste is one of the biggest issues in the Indian society, people being stereotyped by old traditions and distinguished by their ancestral heritage.
He was always told that he was “Kashyap Rajput” also known as “Chieer” a caste which according to the old times was people who dealt with water.
Jas would sit there on days and make jokes like “Who wants water? Let me get it after all it’s my trade and job!” Everybody would laugh at this. He had always been taught many religious values in his life being brought up in a mix of Hindu and Sikh cultural traditions but he always believed God was one for all.
He had met many people from many walks of life from Muslims to Buddhists to other fellow Sikhs. Never once did he consider himself or his religion higher but it was God’s way of preaching to us in different forms. Many people dictate Sikhism like they know it very well, which some of them do. But to put others down because you are more knowledgeable doesn’t make you a better person in God’s eyes but one who sits in their own arrogance. “Ik Onkar” in Punjabi is one of the most recited words from the Shri Guru Granth Sahib, the most holy of books for Sikh believers. It’s meaning is “ONE GOD” or interpreted as “God is ONE.”
