RLG314H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 8: Guru Granth Sahib, Sikh Scriptures, Triumphalism
Document Summary
We have looked at scriptures and see that maybe women are cherished. But noticing this do consider women with the same religious status: the standard has always been the man, they could at best be treated the same as the male. Hope at best to be treated as males have treated each other. We find praise and deep sense of women here. Sikhism (northern india) is one of the newest of the established world religions. Tried to correct the original issues of other eastern religions: part islam and part hinduism. This seems true, but there not obvious that women are equal and they definitely have not been constant: they have not been repeated constantly. Its not on every page that everyone is equal: perhaps god that such claims were not necessary for repetition. Maybe he didn"t think man would make any hierarchies. The mistake of man is intentional, and then became the norm then it became tradition.
