Stupid Superstitions within Sikh-Punjabi Community

Have you heard a girl saying this to you at school etc?

“I don’t wash my hair on Tuesdays or Thursdays because it will bring my Brother bad luck”


Frontline Response:

Your personal hygiene doesn’t affect your brother’s life in no other way apart from your smelly hair if you don’t wash them. If you wash or not it is only going to effect your own physical cleanness.

I need to tie a black taga (thread) to my new car to protect it from jealous evil eyes.

Frontline Response:

If the colour black protected, the tyres of the car are black and our hair is mostly black; but our head still gets injured and tyres get damaged. How is a taga going to stop anyone from scratching you car? The night brings blackness; but thats the time most cars get stolen!




I don’t eat meat on Thursdays it is bad luck!

Frontline response:
