What is PROUDSIKH?

I have been asked this question many times...to all those who ask me...
here is the answer....

PROUDSIKH.us is a site dedicated to exhibiting Sikhi spirit. It's products are respectful, tasteful, and whimsical. There are products for EVERY, and we do mean EVERY member of the family - mums, dads, the kids, even the baby and family pet.

Take special notice to the spelling of 'Vaheguru' instead of simply 'Waheguru', as fellow Sikhs will note that it is actually the 'correct' way of spelling our Lord's name. Here in the west, and with the increases in technology worldwide, we face extra elements of ignorance that leave us forgetting who we are, and leaving our religion behind. We tend to become afraid to admit we are Sikh. Some Sikhs may feel that such items exploit our faith, but rather they show that we are proud of who we are in a society so afraid to stand up for its values. (At least they aren't selling Yogi tees!) This store proudly and ethically displays who we are in a fun way with appeal to all ages.

T-Shirt products come in various colours (my fav is the bright neon green and the light tees). Also very interesting and cheerful are the 'Fateh' series, with the stylized gothic F. (Fateh means victory.) Another favorite is the ringer T with the Khanda, and Khanda postal products. I find the pet shirts absolutely adorable and delightful....even your pet wants to show their Sikh pride! Your baby can show their Sikh pride from young on up, you can even carry your Sikh pride to the office in a coffee mug, clock, tote bag or mouse pad, or deck out your car so that all passing traffic knows you're Sikh and proud to be so! The designs in general are classic, clean, and very enduring. They are not overly 'trendy' which reflects echos of Sikh belief to not be concerned with egotistical asthetics over respect and love for others.

Show your pyaar for Sikhi.
PROUDSIKH.us is run with utmost tact.
Gur Fateh, Rab Rakha!
