Tiger or lion?
[edit]Just some input/ideas that might be to the benefit of this article:
In this article it says that Singh means 'tiger', whereas in the article about Sikhism it says that Singh means 'lion'. I could research this myself of course but i thought it might be easier just to post this question here where experts are sure to read the question and as to avoid lengthy discussions in advance.
I was also wondering about why Sikhs always (seem to) wear turbans. I was always told that Sikhs wear turbans because their religion prescribes this. Is this true? Again, could research this myself, but it seems to me that other people might be able to answer this already. Some comment on this in this article might be justified.
PS. Please stop calling each other 'dumb ass' and 'Goebbels', it's ridiculous. --Vunzmstr 14:00, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- The confusion comes from the fact that while Western cultures look at the Lion as King of the Jungle, in South Asian cultures, the King of the Jungle (who is called Shair; in Sanskrit Singha) is actually the tiger. (In Urdu, the Lion is "Babbar Shair"; I am not sure about Sanskrit/Hindi.) And the problem has been compounded over the last couple of centuries by writers like Bertrand Russell using the name Sher Khan for his King of the Jungle in The Jungle Book, but then interpreting it as a Lion.
- As for turbans, yes. The idea is that ordained Sikh males (who have taken the Khalsa oath) are all "Sardars", Kings, one and all.
