=====================
Taran and Joven are two young members of the Sikh Khalsa and they show their commitment to their faith by wearing five symbols of Sikh ideals. They are called the Five Ks, or Panj Kakka. The Five Ks are Kara, Kachera, Kirpan, Khalsa, Kesh and Kanga. The boys explain what they are, and what they represent.
This clip is from the BBC series My Life, My Religion, in which we find out about life following the Sikh faith through the eyes of a young practicing Sikh called Simran (aged 11) and her family.

Teaching Religious Studies?
Some people say that school uniform makes everyone equal. Others think it stops pupils expressing themselves through their own chosen clothes. What do the class think? Discuss some reasons for and against school uniform.
The Sikh 5 Ks are like a uniform in some ways, but they express beliefs. After pupils have seen this clip, ask them to connect up Sikh beliefs to the different items Khalsa Sikhs wear: 1. God has no end, no beginning and we are all connected to God. 2. It’s good to be modest. 3. Only fight to defend the weak. 4. God gives us gifts, and we should accept them thankfully. 5. Neat and tidy, clean and calm, that is how to come to God. Ask pupils if they agree or disagree with these beliefs. You could start a class discussion about how the symbolic dress of the five Ks is linked to deep beliefs. What deep beliefs do pupils express through what they do?
This topic will be relevant to teaching Religious Education at KS2 or KS3 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and National 2 or 3 in Scotland.
