The statement that "One who is neither following rules nor keeping all five Ks can not be called a Sikh." seems likely to be supported by extremely observant Sikhs and equally profoundly disputed by less observant Sikhs. Particularly problematic on a page with no references.
A more appropriate statement might be eg "Some sources consider that...", with relevant references.
Even better: "Some sources consider that..., while others dispute this.", with relevant references for both views. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GS(v) ( talk • contribs) 13:25, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
A month later, the problematic sentence has not been substantiated or made more neutral. I'm removing it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GS(v) ( talk • contribs) 14:16, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
I have noticed that at the beginning of the article, the undergarments worn by Sikhs is referred to as 'Kacchera', however later into the article, it is spelt as 'Kachera'.
I assume that this is a spelling mistake, but either way, the spelling should be consistent throughout the article. I felt like this should be pointed out. 86.155.14.152 ( talk) 15:47, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
It seems like the subject of the Keski needs to be addressed. 100.44.4.72 ( talk) 04:18, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
The introduction says, "kachera (a white undergarment)", yet the section Kachera does not mention colour, and the picture clearly shows a pair of grey underwear. The main article Kachera does mention white, but again with the same grey image. ◃Amniarix▹ ( talk) 12:15, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

parameter now. I suppose it's not really necessary, but it's how IPA transcriptions for foreign languages are typically handled on Wikipedia. It adds a helpful link to
