it is? since when? I know when the last official UK census was done many ppl (myself included) put 'jedi' as their religion in the hope that enough followers would make it a recognised bonafide faith... did this happen?

Yeah, I did that too - it ended up being statistically recognised, but it's not an official religion.

Guys, Again did not worry about Sikh children carrying knief. In India Sikh's are allowed to carry Kirpans as a tradition. Till now not a single incident has not happened with the Kirpan. The one carried by children are small and sometimes they are not sharp enough to harm anyone. It is just symbolic and to make sure that it did not create any panic the knief(Kirapan) is wll covered and hidden. Also the child will be taught the significance of the Kirpan at a young age so that they become responsible kids.

This tradition started after the formation of the Khalsa. The military wing of Sikhism which was formed to defend against attack by the Muslim rulere Aurengazeb's army. And to defend Sikhism it became essential to form a force that will counter the enemy. This tradition is continued even today using such methods like carrying the Kirpan.
