This article discusses the viral videos of young Sikh boys in the UK engaging in violent and disrespectful behavior while wearing religious robes ('baana'). The author argues that the root cause of this issue is a community-wide problem: an obsession with external religious identity ('baana') without the accompanying spiritual discipline ('baani') and values. The author emphasizes that 'baana' should be an outward expression of inner devotion, not a symbol of superiority or a license for aggression.
