As Sikhs we respect everyone, be they of other faiths or of no faith. A time of great joy and celebration both religiously and culturally amongst the global Sikh population of which around 2 million are based outside India.Ĭore values of Sikhism are love for all, selfless service, humility, compassion, equality and justice for all. Vaisakhi for Sikhs is as important as Christmas, Eid or Diwali is to those particular faiths. Just for the record Vaisakhi was rooted in harvest festival tradition in Punjab, India, but from 1699 onwards it took on new meaning with the founding of the Sikh Khalsa order (The Pure) by Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, giving Sikhs a code to adhere to and the way forward. In particular the corporations and companies that shout the loudest about their commitment to diversity, inclusivity and equality.Īpart from my fellow Sikhs and I posting Vaisakhi greetings on LinkedIn the rest ignored Vaisakhi the most special day in the Sikh calendar. So, last week how many of those same companies made an effort to wish the world's 26 million Sikhs a Happy Vaisakhi? The answer disappointingly is hardly any at all based on what I saw on LinkedIn. Next week LinkedIn will rightly be full of corporate posts wishing friends, colleagues, customers and the Muslim world a Happy Eid. They offer celebratory posts wishing the world a happy Diwali, Christmas, Ramadan, Passover and Easter. Sikhs don't count! When inclusivity doesn't include you!Ĭompanies and the business world today especially on LinkedIn are all about inclusivity.
