When in Rome be as a Roman....Respect country's Rules and Regulations...Keep Religions out of Education.

Still it's a weapon, it shouldn't be carried to an institution, irrespective of the religious aspects. I do respect every religion however it is a weapon.

Respect people and their lands. Keep your religion in your respective country! Not sure as to why the chancellor apologized.

Koi bhi religion at least education system m mat ghusedo

What an attention seeker.\nMost of you are comparing it with a gun but a weapon is still weapon. There is a time and place for everything. Stop forcing people to accommodate every little aspects about your religion.

Talking about hijab...why kripan needed as a symbol..centuries ago time was different...now since it part of religion keep plastic one as a symbol...in the name of religion many aikhs are using these to kill people for example khalistanis

Why to take knife to university? Religion is a private matter keep it indoors! Love and Respect fellow humans that’s the biggest religion

As an Indian I must say you can't perform or carry out your cultural things everywhere. Specially school, colleges & University. That knife(Kirpan) is a religion thing for Sikhs but you should take responsibility of your surroundings as well.

It could have been easily avoided if the guy was not so stubborn about his knife. Religion can fcuk itself. People get intimidated and scared when someone holds weapons. And this dude knows it and he wants it.

Keep your religion at home especially if you are not in your country

It really sad how people are blindly faithful towards their religion. These all are old tradition every religion should reform according to the present time. Just think still people would have following tradition like sati pratha, disaster.

Educate the Americans about religion. What the hell is going on.

Practice your religion in your country. Not right to carry a dagger in a foreign land

If i was there would remove the turban also. Keep your religion at home we won't allow to keep sikh to wear turban(pug) in pakistan, and because of mutual understanding and brotherhood in muslim and sikh, sikh don't wear turban( pug) in muslim majority area , every country has its set of rule and everyone should follow it.\nAllahu Akbar!

What even is the point of all the years education when someone prioritises religion over common sense?

It is like a weapon and it mustn't allow in an educational institution in the name religion.

Another way to dehumanize minorities amazing and all of yall agreeing with them should check yourself. This is gross behaviour, we need to stand with each other in desperate times not perpetuate discrimination based on religion, caste or race. We collectively suck ass yall-

if your religion tells you to carry a gun, ypu don't!

This balle balle chumtiya sardar should be put in jail for bringing knife. I don't know why you need to show off your religion everywhere

Religion or not, carrying a weapon is not okay.

Kripan in today's era a formality, so better keep a smaller one just for the name. Otherwise like hijab-turban, someone else will say his/her religion permits or mandates to keep guns or bombs. ?

I wonder if I can carry any weapon I want on me anywhere no matter what, because of my fake religious beliefs? All religions are fake propaganda used to scare people that there is a God of some sort going to come down, and get rid of all evil people in our world. Which is completely stupid, because according to the Bible Jesus's dad was a God, but didn't stop the evil dictators of his time to prevent his sons death. I a mean a God with so much so called power could allow such evil humans to murder his son? That's the stupidest thing I ever heard of. Oh he sacrificed his son for other people's sins. I call bullshit, no God in their right mind allows evil dictators to murder their innocent son for no reason at all, especially when a God could fix the evil dictators minds with his called powers. Oh I forgot I watching a marvel movie, just a bunch of fake fantasy books, and movies in our world to distract from reality.

I know that knife is kirpaan and its your religious object but you creep sardar always use as weapon when you fighting with others. You creep people didn't think twice before using religious object. Police did great. How you feel any religion allowed you carry gun and they will roam with gun and shoot people in name of religion.

But why he did bring knife it's utter show off of religion

Keep your religion at home.anyway Sikhs are one of the religiously bigoted groups on earth.dont get carried away by the highly publicized free meals delivery to people by the Sikhs people.over 70 percent of the donors of those free foods distribute by the Sikhs actually comes from rich Indian Hindu businesses men.

This is not knife, this is kirpaan.\nKirpaan is essential items to be kept with you always as a Sikh.\nJust because we are minorities it doesnt stop us to practice our religion.

So many schools and universities in US and public places/events face gun violence and mass shootings every year with thousands of innocents dying. No action by police in time. But hey there’s an Indian practising his religion peacefully, let’s get him!

If practicing one's religion is disturbing the another one than there must be a compromise

Flashing symbol of your stupid religion is not good in foreign countries.

I don't think laws should be different for any one belonging to any religion...

Why did the university issue apology? Just cause his religion follows this doesn't mean we can put security at risk. A knife is a knife, religion shouldn't interfere with law and order

You shouldn't bring a weapon into a public place,even if it part of your religion. It's a hazard for others. Someone else can grab it and use it to harm others

Guess who'll get sued ?\nIt's totally Okay to practice your religion. It's not a bare Knife that he's wielding , it's and encased religious sword.

Okkkkk....religion should be kept out of education.....right????? Then why many in india supporting hijab protest in Kannada??‍♀️

Well Educational institutions are supposed to be impartial towards religions so don't carry that kirpan in schools or colleges ?‍♂️ After all they are foreigners if they see a knife it's a knife . They won't see it as kirpan (sikh knife)

Well it's not a crime to carry kripan at least a place where guns are more common....but when you are in other country their jurisdiction applies not your ethnicity ..race or religion . Same goes for foreigners in India....and that is a educational institution not a religious temple no one is wrong here just mis communication of rules

what did you expect promoting you religion in campus

Lol keep religion at home

If you want people to respect your religion... try to respect their concern as well. I a'int roaming near people with knives regardless of religion

Fuck religion. Respect Local laws.

Keep your religion at home.

And I'm starting a brand new religion that you have to carry a water bottle and mints because this is all you need in 2022 to carry with yourself.

These religious symbols are integral part of sikh religion... but they are sharp and will cut \nSo its not something you want to carry into public spaces especially in another land\nAlso us is already facing a lot violent crimes inside schools and unis.. so no point in making others uncomfortable by carrying that along.. \nHope no one takes offence!

The Kirpan in Sikhs comes under the Essential religion practice and hence it can't be removed...

It’s a dagger ? in this world it’s very scary to see something like that. No one’s trying to impede on his religion. However he’s making a lot of people terrified and it’s not fair to everyone else in the room.

apologies don't do anything I think the way he was handcuffed and probably has never experienced such thing in his life. The police officer should be sentenced some time in prison handcuffed to know how it feels to discriminate someones religion and beliefs. Its disgusting he got away with it and is still a police officer disgusting he shouldn't have a job either after this

it's not a knife it's worn for a religious pupose it's for his faith. Juts because you have no beliefs don't take someone else's beliefs away. God will punish anyone who messes with his religion.

All should keep religion out of the gates of schools wherever you are India or abroad

People do anything in name of religion it should not be allowed in Universities if you so want to practice your region go in your country or region where this is allowed, I really don't think it is allowed in India. This man is Sick

I am from India, I believe in my culture and customs in this situation its a weapon and safety hazard. What if someone else snatches the knife and hurt somebody. You never know. We should not push religion when it comes to safety.
