[edit] Unencyclopædic language

I would suggest that the following passage is unencylcopædic:

Sikhs carry the Gutka covered in a clean clothe and wash their hands before handling the Gutka. You must not put any Gurbani script on the floor; nor handle with unwashed hands; read without covering your head; turn the pages with licked finger; or cause any disrespect to the honourable word of our Gurus. This idea originates from ancient times where all knowledge (books) got this kind of respest.

The passage seems to suggest that it is a Sikh authority lecturing the reader, and I highly doubt that this is the author's intention. Therefore, I am removing direct references to the reader (such as you), and removing possessive articles such as our from the text. Paradokuso 03:47, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
