In Sikhism 'SINGH' means lion and 'KAUR' means princess.
Who is a 'KAUR'? ? ? Women were not treated
equally before the time of the
Sikh Gurus, and so to ensure
equality, a movement for
women's liberation was
started five hundred years
zamani with the Sikh faith. The
Guru said, "You are my
beloved princesses, my
daughters. wewe must be
respected. How can this
world be without you? " He
cautioned men for being rude
and bad to women. He said,
"Without women this world
cannot be. So, give them the
rights, and give them equal
respect they deserve."
Women are humans and all
humans deserve equal
rights.
Normally, when a woman
would get married, she would
take the last name of the
family she gets married into.
Since Guru Gobind Singh Ji eliminated the last
name, he said, "You don't
have to take anybody else's
name. wewe are an individual,
wewe are a princess, and you
can keep Kaur as your last
name." It gave women a lot
of self-respect..
I am proud to be a Sikh and a KAUR...
