- In his TEDx talk, Simar Bajaj speaks about his experience cutting his unshorn hair after 17 years, highlighting his perspective on visual biases as well as the disconnect between inherited identities and learned identities. As a high school senior, Simar is able to offer a unique youth perspective. A senior at the Harker School, Simar Bajaj finds inspiration in the stereoscopic lens that studying history and medicine together affords. As a Near Family Scholar, he is researching the 1910 Flexner Report, a seminal paper in medical education, and its roles in creating current healthcare disparities. Furthermore, he currently works as a paid fellow in the Stanford Cardiothoracic Surgery Department, conducting surgical education research.
In his TED talk, he will be speaking about his experience cutting his unshorn hair after 17 years and his perspective on visual biases as well as the disconnect between inherited identities and learned identities. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

What u did is neither good not bad , but this is being portrayed as a heroic act and thats sad :(
It a heroic act, he conquered the religious manipulation of humanity.
@@perry6480 humans are to blame for all bad, not religion
It's wrong
@@ajstsubasa4836 i think its exact opposite is true
@@perry6480 I mean he's following what seems like a Christian manipulation of being a good Christian with a nice haircut. It doesn't seem that the natives cut their hair either.
I don't think you understand Sikh traditions, but from the society Sikhs came from, having a haircut was a ritual or religious manipulation, depending on what you followed. Keeping hair actually is one of the things that allowed Sikhs to be free from some of the backwards traditions and culture that was taking place just a few centuries ago.
This kid knows nothing about his religion nor do his parents most Sikhs know nothing about their great religion and I dont get how young children struggle with identity I am 14 and I was born a sikh I am a sikh and I will die a sikh I will never even hesitate to give my life for my religion Waheguru mehr Kare

Sikhi is not for the weak
Good luck for your new identity
God bless you
Yes, its very tough to follow but I have curiosity whether so called sikhs r actually following it that way ??
Sikhi is not practical in modern world.
@@atengku9660 lol why, being brown is not practical in the west, that's doesn't mean that I'm going to peel of my skin
People who choose not to follow sikhi doesn't necessarily mean they are weak.
I as a Sikh would have myself Decapitated, but never ever have even a strand of my hair cut!
Guru Tegh Bahadur, Guru Gobind Singhji, Banda Singh Bahadur and his 3 year old son alongside more 750 sikhs, and many more gave their lives, but never capitulated their Sikhi! Their sacrifices are something, which I personally can never forget.
😂😂So what i do.... Many kings sacrificed himself for dharma
.... So shall we make ourselves wild?
@@jasnooraroranoor4281 these weren't just kings, these were men, women and children too!
@Darth Sidious LMAO, nice question.
So we the Sikhs believe that whatever happens in this world, happens by the will of god. And it is applicable to accidents too. So yeah, if you accidentally rip out a strand of your hair, with no intention whatsoever of doing the same, then it poses no problem. Although we must always try to protect ourselves from such a thing.
@Darth Sidious there was a sikh who was kidnapped by the Mughals, I guess he was being forced to convert to islam, his hair was forcibly cut and he was forcibly fed halal meat. However Guru Gobind Singh easily forgave the sikh as it was not this sikh's fault.
@@jasnooraroranoor4281 true 🤣🤣🤣
I understand the whole idea of identity crisis and stuff. But here’s the thing don’t jokingly state the fact that you were not stopped for random checks at the airport and don’t talk about being mocked. That kinda gives the essence that it wasn’t your thoughts but rather you were influenced by others and scared of mockery after all . You were weak, there’s nothing to be proud in being weak.
Even I was mocked in school days almost every day. My college crush rejected me just cos I was a Sikh ( she even said that she’d date me if I cut my hair). But here’s the thing don’t let others shape your personality or there will never be a true you. I followed Sikhism coz I relate to it.
If you don’t, I completely understand. But it would be better if you stated the true reason rather than the stating the benefits of cutting your hair.
If it was your sole decision I respect it. But your examples imply the opposite.
totally agreed...
Well said !! Agreed !!
I totally believe that you should get a haircut if u internally believed it , not Becos someone made fun of you ... External factors shouldn't even affect you , you must be that strong..
Can someone tell me please ¿what was his purpose of coming on TEDx Talks?
This person is the example who should not be given a stage for lack of self worth reason.
Some change for the world, Others change it. He had gone through a lot. Though glad he is happy now.
I agree that every person has a right to live the life they want just as they follow religion to the degree that they are comfortable with. Now answering this topic, indeed it is a personal choice but Sikhs keep their hair in acceptance to the eternal one god, accepting that the way god made us is perfect and by doing so; we to god, are showing detachment from the world and it’s temporary pleasures. People often doubt religion but never doubt society and it’s norms. In fact, in Holy scriptures as the bibles, there are often verses regarding keeping gods commandments. Specifically,
Numbers 6:5
“All the days of his vow of separation, no razor shall touch his head. Until the time is completed for which he separates himself to the Lord, he shall be holy. He shall let the locks of hair of his head grow long.”
And Namely,
JOHN 14:15-17
15 “If you love me, keep my commands. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocatep to help you and be with you forever.17 the Spirit of truth.The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.”
Keeping hair covered isn’t just within Sikhi but the Muslims, Jewish, and Catholic cover their head. It’s a sign of respect for the ever existing beautiful god that is around us.Sadly we grow up in a society where everything is questioned but never society itself. I’m sorry if this offends as anyone as it was not my intention and only to educate those who don’t know why. May God Bless you all. God loves you all
The reason we keep Kesh is because Guru said, can be found in Gurus writings especially Guru Gobind Singh.
Lol ,you never chose your religion you’re born into a religious family
If you live India they is not problem but when you living in foreign country then trust it is so hard for specially teenager
Meri toh nani ki wjh se baal kte me aaj bhi rota hu kyuki mummy gadhwali h papa sikh lekin yeah bhai toh weak lgg raha h prr me nhi tha mere haalaat ese the kyuki naani ne apne yahan aane nhi diya mujhe thats why mere hair cut gaye but jo bhi h me apne waheguru ji ki bht respect krta hu ❤️
Same story nani problem but at the last it was my choice I kept kesh and stand like a loin
He also had to let his kesh go because of his situation now he finally has his true identity.
Bro I think you should try exploring your questions on basics of sikhi TH-cam channel. It might help you to get your answers. The fact is many Sikhs themselves don't know thier own teachings... Sikh itself means "learners".... All the best
@@Matharuclasses yes I do believe that we should keep our kesh in almost all situations, until and unless it's utter most important !
I can understand the social stigma attached to it.
You were weak, but hey I guess sikhi is not for everyone
Today I learned a person is 7 days from Monday through to Sunday.

God has no religion , but we are not God.
Religion gives you a path to follow. Just like you enroll in a university for a degree.
I'm not religious but I respect2 religions Buddhism and Sikhism. Sikhism is a beautiful religion, it just makes sense compared to other religions. But I agree if there's one God then why so many religions. Totally agree
I think I can answer your question regarding that ,Actually many great philosophers started different religions in different parts of world to eradicate corruption from society.However there may be some conflicts in some theories but overall message of all religions is same:humanity,peace and love.
there is nothing heroic gentlemen

@@jasnooraroranoor4281 his wish ... accepted
Yet there is nothing heroic

I don't agree with all the points made here, but I agree that keeping Kesh should be a personal choice and not define being a Sikh. If you're a Sikh at heart, cutting your hair doesn't change that. And if you're not a Sikh at heart, keeping uncut hair isn't going to change that. I'm also struggling with my identity because hair plays a big part in how I see myself, and long hair is just not who I am. It's not about fashion or people's opinions. I constantly have headaches, can't maintain my hair, it's unmanageable and frizzy, it causes unnecessary stress, and I hate the feeling of hair on my neck. I constantly have it up in a bun, and the weight outs stress on my neck and head and is really detrimental to me. My hair keeps getting stuck in things, I keep sitting on it, I can't eat with it open, I can't look how I want to. I just wish there wasn't such a stigma in the Sikh community. Please be more accepting of people's personal choices if they're not harmful to anyone.
Kes guru ki mohar.
You have a point and I have a suggestion ....keep kesh but don't tie heavy turban etc.....tie bandana .... Keep your hairs clean...I don't know about heeadache part though...may.

Who has 5 hours to take care of their long hair nowadays, nobody has we all have a busy life nowadays. Back in the 17th century it was different but nowadays it can't be the same.
Go to a good panth that can educate you about sikhi and its morals, its not what you think. If you were to weak to handle the racial prejudice just admit it that you cut it for the 'society' and please don't defame your beautiful sculpted religion, the guru can never be wrong.
You should have also told a fact
That our 10th Guru
Guru Gobing Singh Ji
Sacrificed live of his 4 children just because of HAIR
This is how important they were
Freedom Fighter my foot
Correct✅
Yeah clearly you just can't understand his life struggles so that's why you are saying that. Oh well if only you were in shoes. Guru Gobind Singh ji sacrificed his 4 sons but he also predicted that such times like this will come in the near future where people will just forget about him.
For the benefit of all....whosoever cut their hairs.
1. So , If Almighty God has given something in ur body....like hands ,, ears , nose , hairs.......we must keep it...as it is....because...God is much more intelligent than any of us....otherwise HE will never give us.
2. You find all the Avataars ...Like Jesus Christ , Sri Ram , Sri Krishna ( and other Hindu Avatars) ....all have full hairs....
3. Why almighty Gid has given hairs on some specific places on body and not everywhere....like why not on ur palm( hand) and why on ur head....
So...Almighty God has gifted us hairs just like any other body part....
So we should keep it...
We the Sikhs are very much obeying the same.....
Thanks and stay blessed everyone
WE HAD HAIRS ALL OVER BODY THEY ARE GETTING SHORTER AND SHORTER DUE TO EVOLUTION
@@imposter5716 ...dear....so let the Almighty do this evolution part...who r we. ...to edit or delete anything 🙏🙏
We shouldn't keep it in this day and age. In this day and age we can't accept anything which is God gifted ok that's why we have this modern technology.
Sikh is recognized by the soul.....
And by outsinde appaerance too!
@Ash ketchum its not your pokemon world bro .you have to accept it sikh have a seprate identity and uniform from others .
@Ash ketchum then what .sorry about that .but first we have be good person than we will become sikh .i dont force anyone to be sikh .becouse we have right to follow any religion .if anyone dosnt have knowledge about sikhism then how he states that sikhism is bad.
@Ash ketchum i have more muslim and christans friends .i know them they are good .everyone is good but one to remember sikhi will not be forced it our choice but .simar has no knowledge what he said in his video and i am totally disapionted .life is about living life is about creating yourself .
@Ash ketchum guru sahib said that sikhi comes from outside and inside. If you have sikhi inside then it's impossible that you won't practice sikhi on the outside too. Keep disagreeing but that's how it is sikhi is not yours, sikhi is the guru's.

If our gurus did not sacrifice their lives for the freedom of religion , u would most probably not be here giving this talk on TED.
Freedom of religion doesn't mean " no freedom from religion " ...he did what he felt like.....nothing wrong
@@Matharuclasses Well u probably dont know anything about any religion .
@@Matharuclasses Freedom of religion does mean "u have the right to choose which ever philosophy u want to chose, including the philosophy of no religion .
i would say, a person who is a sikh and know about his history and have respect for it will not talk or think about cutting his/her hair just based on what other people say or having an identity that stands out. It will be disrespect towards all Guru Sahib's and Shaheed's who live their life to demonstarte what Sikhi is. If you want a haircut you can have a haircut, you are free to do it. But if, you say Sikhi is what you have inside your heart and hair doesn't matter then you don't know the history of Sikhi that you should be told by your parents and grandparents.

Answer to your first question- There are many different religions because religion is a way of living your life. People have different believes, so they made their own religion.
Answer to your second question- If all religions are equal then your parents follow Sikhism because religion is a way of living and your parents might have liked the way Sikhs live.
I know cutting your hair was your personal decision but you should not brag about it publicly and say that Sikhism is a useless religion
Thanks man you changed my life you gave me confidence to cut mine i love my new hair
Really proud of u that u questioned something normally people don't. Even I'm stuck between my own identity and my own religion, but here in India cutting hair for a Sikh is a BIG deal. I really do appreciate your decision n support you but the words you chose to describe Sikhism were "ouch". if u read this comment please do contact me cuz even I'm sailing in the same boat u used to, maybe u could guide me. In short, religion is something that divides people into categories.
Cut your hair if you like but religion is of great importance. Only thing you shouldn't do if you don't want to follow your religion is influence others to do the same, the thing this guy did

Sure sir, would like to talk!!
You think speaking nicely will justify your cutting hair
* advertise cutting his hair
His sins are far deeper than words can fix
Its not your problem... its (community)
Scared of community that fast
As a Sikh, good luck on your journey. But based on your talk, I don't think you quite grasped an understanding of 'ek'.
Just an FYI- Sikhi is not a religion. Its not practices and ceremonies which need to be done at certain times of a day or year. Guru Nanak explicitly refuted such. Its an understanding of truth, and one way of showing that understanding / acceptance is the retention of hair.
Lack of knowledge given by his parents :)
so true
Thank you so much. I really needed someone to talk about it. I belong to Sikh religion as well but I am highly confused as what Guru Granth Sahib ji preaches and what people are actually following. Half of the community says - Bali is not allowed in sikhism but I saw the videos from Hazur sahib where meat is served in langar. Religion says that idol worship is prohibited but rarely I found someone who do not have photos of Gurus and they do believe in idol worship.
Thank you for encouraging to believe in your beliefs ! Appreciated.
Sister, why are you so confused. Ask yourself, which path do you want to follow? Guru Granth Sahib or other society.
In today's world what needed is connecting with people and freeing them from their sorrows, although evry religion has its own values and customs what we are forgetting is why these religions were made in the first place, today's religion is Humanity and trust me Sikhi is nothing but humanity that excluded all the rituals that either harm nature or exploit people..... where as the issue goes for cutting your hair I think this should he your own personal taste and views, society would say a thousand words but if you don't love yourself the way you are yess change it because if you love yourself i believe you would love others too and it would give you more clarity what you want to be..... also keeping your hair is kind of a responsibility because you carry not just the faith with you but also the pride of our sikh warriors..... always being ready to help, always being ready to fight against oppression..... be strong and yess its totally ok to follow your dreams and passion..... we only have one life so yess live free......
Can I get your email not for like random stocking purposes but to explain what sikhi is to you I know I am only a 14 year old jwaak but trust me I probably know more about sikhi then the average sikh
Kuttha (halal) meat is not allowed. Jhatka meat is allowed
@@quandingle5345 you are wrong. None of our books have this information. This is just created by humans. Be it jhatka or halaal in bothways animals are been killed. Please do not spread misleading information.

Sikhi is neither for weak nor for people who live their life for pleasing their haters 🙏🏽
🤣🤣...
speaking truth my brother
Well just because he doesn't follow sikhi doesn't make him weak. Even what he did is a huge thing, took him so much courage to come out as he is meant to be, it's actually his real identity.
lol this guy is obviously an academic and hes solely asking his mum and dad for opinions on what sikhism is and not taking an academic approach toward sikhism himself, even for the purposes of elimination, furthermore he says the kind of person he can be will be limited by sikhi, that is disingenuous and sikhs have been at the forefront of pioneerism moreso than the rest of the world ironically including the fields of acceptance and equal rights...on another note he has confirmed a lot of the prejudices all singhs have faced and also quite proud of how his family didn't judge his choices, but sadly ended on another whitewashed disney concept of unconditional love, out of curiousity I wonder what he would hypothetically do if people didnt accept another part of him, something that he couldnt change like his skin colour?
Opening dasam dwaar needs maryada
IT's interesting, whether we cut out hair or not, we will still be seen as brown. IF he's not stared at anymore, then I am not believing him 100% .
He also asked why not follow another religion, I guess his parents didn't talk about all the sikhs, Singhs, children and babies that were shaheed because they refused to follow another religion?
Not as bad when wearing turban.
Afterall mate, Sikhi isn't the path for the weak.
Sikhi gives us a choice to either follow it or refrain.
If he has forsaken Sikhi because it seemed tough for him, he did the right thing.
@@kanishkc5340 it may have seemed tough, but it didn't seem tough to do a TED on it? Isn't it more inspiring to have a talk about the people who fought for their rights or made sacrifices, instead of this one man standing up to have this long moan?
It's almost like he's complaining about the sikh community!
well done i did the same when i was 15 and never looked back glad i did it,let me ask you this how many of young sikh men are happy wearing a turban,yes you may keep a short beard but are you really happy or do you just follow the crowd and keep your parents happy most sikhs eat meat and drink but true sikhs dont do this its a "when its suits" we become "sikhs" drinking the night before a wedding going into a temple then off to a hall to drink,eat dance thn we forget we are sikhs ,glad i now am a non faith follower.
Good point , it seems to be herd mentality but I have found genuine sikhs too who follow this path awesomely but yes, its tough for most of people out there ...
@Ash ketchum go ahead and do it if it matters so much for you.... You need to get that courage today or tomorrow ....it will matter for some days for most Of people ( family , relative etc ) ....but I will tell you to get meditation once properly in deep , maybe you won't have these thoughts again and feel comfortable in long hairs etc
@Ash ketchum the same is with me. I also yearn to cut my hair. It's just that I don't feel comfortable while wearing turban or any form of patkaa. I soon will be self reliant (i.e standing on my feet) and then I'll do it. I think everyone has a right to live a life freely as per their own wish and I think that's all our core values are:-)
Sikhi is a tough path, just cus you are a 🐱 it doesn't mean that everyone else is the same
Totally agreed ! No one is able to exactly describe the correct sayings. Half of the people believe that alcohol and jhatka meat is allowed whereas half are against. There is no single path and hence I decided to stay as non faith follower as well.
So proud of you man! EDIT: I meant I was proud of my friend for speaking at a TED Talk. These replies are unnecessary.

Dekh mai bhi sikh huin but mai bbi hair rakhne k against huin.... Mere mein koi aaib nhi h... Mai koi nasha pati nhi krta aur jo baal rakhkr krte h but mujhe hairs se problem h yee restriction shi nhi h ye meri khud ki marzi honi chaiye
@@jasnooraroranoor4281 brother boht achchi baat hai aap koi bura kaam nhi krte...magr baat marzi ki nhi hai..Guru ne Apne decisions lene ka Haq sabko diya hai...magr Hamara farz bnta hai ki ham Guru Maharaj Ke Hukam Maane

@@SINGH-kf3kw actually guru nanak jee ne hee saare andhvishwas aur bekar k rituals khtm kiye the...... Aur 1st guru se lekr 9th guru tak aisa koi restriction bhi nhi thaa.... Fir ye sab krke kya faida... Freedom honi chaiye jisko joo krna h kre vese bhi mene khud dekha h baal rakhney wale mostly Singh alcoholic aur abusive h toh fir morning mein gyan dete h..... Ye galat h ye kaise sikh h mai apse poochta huin... Isse Badiya toh mai huin fir bhale hee Maine amritpan ni kiya but aise kaam mai nhi krta.. Jhooth nhi bolta.. Bekar mein dhong nhi krta

Hair have no use
You are just weak....stop glorifying it...
Because he doesn't follow sikhi so he's weak huh. Very funny
I hope he considers hinduism.
If you know nothing of Sikhi obviously you will fall this low

We cut our and many sikhs cut their hairs because they have no significance nowadays whatsoever. Gone are those days where people kept long hairs, back in those days we had a simple life didn't have huge competition and didn't have to go to work. But nowadays everyone has work everyone has a fast paced life and vice versa. And in this day and age we can't take care of our long hair. It gets hard to clean and then we get head lice. Just take a look for once where this world has reached nowadays. We have reached cloud 9, we have reached planet moon and mars. But you muppets still have the old 17 th century outdated belief. There's no such pride in having kesh nowadays. Look where the world has reached and where you have still remained.
