Q: Why Sikhs do not cut their hair but they cut their nails?

A: It is often argued that hair and nails are similar, but even a superficial study of the two shows them to be extremely different from each other. Hair is not a hindrance to anyone. Because hair can be placed in a bun and kept clean and does perform a number of functions, it is only pragmatic to realize that hair is not bad. On the other hand, nails are an important part of the human body, having long nails is a hindrance to the body. An individual with long nails cannot functions and do everyday chores comfortably. In order to ensure that one can perform the tasks of everyday life, nails are trimmed.

In addition, whereas the hair grows from a tubular pit (hair follicle), formed by sinking in of the most actively dividing layer of the skin (stratum germinativum) into the lower dermis, the nails are only modifications of the upper dead layers of the skin (stratum corneum). Further, the base of every follicle bulges out forming an inverted cup, which receives blood capillaries for nourishment and nerve fibers to make the hair sensitive. An oil gland, known as sebaceous gland, opens into every hair follicle, the secretion of which lubricates the hair. A muscle is also attached to the base of every hair for bringing about movement. Pigments are added to the shaft of the hair as it grows. None of these features is associated with the nails.

Structurally also, hair is extremely strong, and resists breaking due to its elasticity and flexibility. Strength of hair can be estimated from the following facts, a human hair laid on a bar of steel and then passed through a cold rolling mill would leave an imprint on the face of the steel. A hair of a man’s beard is about as strong as a copper wire of the same dimensions. If a rope were made out of strands of long hair, it would be strong enough to lift an automobile. Nails, on the other hand, are very brittle and rigid, breaking off easily. Hair are countless (upto 1,25,000 on head region alone), thereby increasing the surface area, as if to meet a specific requirement.


The differences between the two do not end with the structural features. Even the body’s response towards the two is totally different. Our body, throughout life, tries to maintain a particular length of hair. And if the hair is cut anywhere, the body responds by growing it again to the specific length. It clearly indicates the link of the body with the hair all along its length. The body shows no such response to the nails, which grow from birth to death at the same rate, irrespective of whether cut or not. It follows, thus, that cutting of nails does not tell on the body at all, whereas, cutting of hair puts extra load on the body. To sum up, if there is anything on the head that can be compared with the nails, it is dandruff!


Nature knows best what to discard or retain. Whatever is retained is not without purpose. Hair is a gift from God, not a burden. Guru Gobind Singh Ji, in his infinite wisdom, commanded us to respect hair and refrain from tampering with it. This is the visible token of his affection for us, as well as our faith in him.

well overgrown nails have no utility.... now another valid point could be that all the rishis and the sadhus in the past had hair long which they use to put in a bun and Guruji made us sant sipahi..  so the hair helps us maintain that identity of a sant... and I've also heard that hair traps a layer whch helps one meditate better... naale for sikhs all that should matter is that sadde Guru ji da hukam aa te sadde layi follow karna jaroori aa.. end of the story

The first Sikh to become an enlisted U.S. Army soldier in nearly three decades is eager to move on to training as a combat medic and defend his new homeland on the battlefield.
'When the bullets begin flying, it doesn't concern anyone what religion you are - I bleed the same colour,' said Simranpreet Lamba, 26, after his graduation ceremony from basic combat training.
Sikhism, a 500-year-old religion founded in India, requires its male followers to wear a turban and beard and keep their hair uncut. Army policies since 1984 had effectively prevented Sikhs from enlisting by barring those items.
But Lamba was granted a rare exception because he has skills the Army wants - the Indian languages Hindi and Punjabi.

 Proud: Simranpreet Lamba was granted a rare exception to enlist because he has skills the Army wants - the Indian languages Hindi and Punjabi

 Honour: Born in New Delhi, India, he was granted the honour of carrying the unit colour flag as the 450 new soldiers paraded
Before him, two Sikhs joined the Army as medical officers earlier this year. But Lamba is the first enlisted man since the policy barring religious articles of clothing.
Lamba said his black turban, full beard, unshorn hair and religious beliefs posed no problems during his ten weeks of training.
During training, he wore a camouflage turban under his Kevlar helmet.

He used petroleum jelly to get a tight grip between his beard and gas mask, and was able to keep his hair clean under all conditions, meeting all the military's concerns about training and appearance.
 The U.S. Army has had policies in place since 1984 which stipulate that soldiers' heads must be shaved and facial hair is not allowed, but Lamba was granted an exemption

 'I am proud to be a Sikh, I'm proud to be a U.S. citizen, and proud to be a U.S. Army soldier,' he said
'I am proud to be a Sikh, I'm proud to be a U.S. citizen, and proud to be a U.S. Army soldier,' he said.
The Sikhs were founded as a warrior group meant to fight against injustice and inequality, said Lamba, who trained at Fort Jackson in South Carolina, so adopting Army values was easy for him.
Lamba's battalion commander, Lieutenant Colonel Bryan Hernandez said: 'The Sikhs are warriors in Indian culture. Once our soldiers heard that, they were all for him.

 Eager: 'When the bullets begin flying, it doesn't concern anyone what religion you are - I bleed the same colour,' said Lamba
'It's going to be a good thing for our Army and our nation to have Lamba in the service.'

The native of New Delhi, India, was granted the honour of carrying a red-white-and-blue unit colour flag as the 450 new soldiers paraded in a salute before 3,000 friends and family gathered in the stands.
He went to the U.S. to get a master's degree in industrial engineering at New York University, and thought about enlisting and getting his citizenship.

He did some research, and found that the Army's special forces units were allowed to wear beards, so it occurred to him that he might be able to enter the service.
'I thought, why not fight for this country? It doesn't matter that I wasn't born here,' Lamba said.
After enlisting, it took a 10-month Army review before the service granted him a waiver.
 Mentor: Dr Kamal Kalsi, a fellow Sikh and emergency room physician now based at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, gave Lamba advice about joining the Army
Lamba got some mentoring in advance of taking his big step, said Captain Kamal Kalsi, a fellow Sikh and emergency room physician now based at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, who entered the Army in June.
'We talked a lot before he went in,' said Kalsi, a 34-year-old from Riverdale, New Jersey.

He said he wanted to come to Lamba's graduation to wish him well.
Lamba said he would have liked to be an officer like Kalsi, but since he wasn't a citizen, could not do so.

After his four months of training as a combat medic, Lamba said he hoped one day to apply for officer candidate school.
'I feel I am a soldier. I am not a civilian anymore,' he said. 'If I can do it, anyone can.'

The Sikh celebration of the return of the sixth Nanak from detention in the Gwalior Fort coincides with Hindu festival of Diwali. This coincidence has resulted in similarity of celebration amongst Sikhs and Hindus.

When Murtaja Khan, Nawab of Lahore, noticed that Guru had constructed a fort at Amritsar and was also strengthening his army he informed about it to King Jahangir. He also emphasized that he was making preparations to take revenge for his father's assassination. When Jahangir came to know about this he at once sent Wazir Khan and Guncha Beg to Amritsar in order to arrest Guru Hargobind Sahib.
But Wazir Khan who was a well-wisher of the Sikh Guru’s requested the Guru to accompany them to Delhi as King Jahangir wanted to meet him. The Guru accepted the invitation and reached Delhi.
On their first meeting when Jahangir saw the Guru, he was completely won over by his youthful charm and holiness. King decided to befriend the Guru. So he gave royal welcome to the Guru. But Chandu Shah could not bear it. His daughter was still unmarried and thus the rotten sore was still bleeding. At Agra, the King fell seriously ill. The physicians tried their best but they failed to care him. Then Chandu Shah conspired with the astrologers, who were asked to tell the King that his malady was due to wrong track of stars and it could, be cared only if some holy man goes to Gwallior Fort to offer prayers to the deity. He also pointed out that Guru Hargobind was such a holy man and he should be asked go to Gwallior Fort. At King’s request the Guru readily agreed and left for the Gawalior Fort.
In the fort the Guru met many princes who were detained there due to political reasons. They were leading a very deplorable life. With the help of Hari Dass, the governor of fort, the Guru improved their condition. Hari Dass was a Sikh of Guru Nanak and he become ardent devotee of Guru Hargobind. Once when Chandu wrote to Hari Dass to poison the Guru, he at once placed that letter before the Guru.
When several months passed and the Guru was not released then Baba Budha and other devotees met the Guru. They informed him about the despicable condition of the Sikhs, who were waiting for him with great eagerness. The Guru assured them that they should not worry, he would join them soon.
In the meantime Sai Mian Mir met Jahangir and asked him to release the Guru. Jahangir, who had fully recovered, ordered Wazir Khan reached Gwallior Fort and informed Hari Dass about the message of the King. Hari Dass was very pleased to hear it. He informed the Guru about the message of King. But the Guru declined to leave the fort unless princes confined in the fort were also released. When Wazir Khan informed king about the desire of the Guru, the king agreed. The fifty–two princes who had been detained due to political reasons or for committing default, were pining in fort for years. The Guru left the fort with all fifty-two princes. As the Guru liberated the fifty-two princes so he is known as Bandichhod (Liberator).



A Gurdwara known as Bandichhod is built at the place where Guru stayed during his detention. Jahangir advised Wazir Khan to bring Guru Hargobind in his court at Delhi with great honour. Jahangir realized that he had killed as innocent pious man Guru Arjan Dev without any offence. He wanted to exonerate himself by indicting this crime on Chandu Shah and other officers. So in order to show his innocence he wanted to meet Guru Hargobind. The Sikhs celebrate this day as Bandi Chhorh Divas i.e., "the day of release of detainees" . So in the evening, illuminations are done with Deewé (earthen oil lamps) or candles and fireworks. The celebrations are held both in the Gurdwaras and in homes.

Dhan Guru HarGobind Sahib ji
