India explodes with outrage over ban on Sikh students bringing traditional knives to NSW schools - sparking calls for foreign minister to intervene

澳大利亚新南威尔士州禁止锡克教学生携带传统佩刀入校，这一禁令在印度引发了民愤，要求外交部长介入

Indian Sikhs have asked India's foreign minister to prevent the NSW government's ban on ceremonial knifes in public schools.

新南威尔士州政府禁止锡克教学生携带佩刀进入公立学校，印度锡克教徒要求印度外交部长出面干预。

The state government outlawed the kirpan - a ceremonial religious dagger - after a 14-year-old at Glenwood High School in Sydney's west used one to stab a 16-year-old student on May 6.

5月6日，在悉尼西部的格伦伍德高中，一名14岁的学生用这种宗教匕首刺伤了一名16岁的学生。随后，悉尼政府宣布携带这种匕首为非法行为。

The northwest Indian Sikh organisation has asked India's external affairs minister to intervene to try and prevent the ban, and also appealed to the country's high commissioner to Australia.  

印度西北部的锡克教组织已要求印度外交部长介入，试图阻止这项禁令，并向澳大利亚的印度高级专员发出呼吁。

'The ban was imposed following an incident ... when a 14-year-old Sikh student who had been bullied at the school used his kirpan and unfortunately injured another student,' the letter by President of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, Bibi Jagir Kaur said.

Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak委员会主席Bibi Jagir Kaur 在信中表示：“这项禁令是在一起事故之后实施的……一名14岁的锡克教学生在学校受到欺负，他用自己的匕首，不幸地伤了另一名学生。”

'Such an incident does not give anyone the right to oppress the entire community.

“发生这样的事件并不意味着任何人有压迫整个社群的权利。”

'The kirpan is not a knife or a dagger but for the Sikhs it is an article of faith with deep meaning and purpose [and] is worn in schools all over the world without any incident.'

“kirpan不是刀或匕首，但对锡克教徒来说，它是一种有深刻意义和目的的信仰，全世界的学校都允许佩戴，没有发生任何事件。”

Large Sikh organisations from the United Kingdom and Canada have also publicly opposed the ban.

来自英国和加拿大的大型锡克教组织也公开反对这项禁令。

'I have to make sure that our schools are safe places for our students and staff and that's why we need to take this action,' education minister Sarah Mitchell said about the prohibition.

教育部长Sarah Mitchell谈到这一禁令时说：“我必须确保我们的学校对我们的学生和教职员工来说是安全的地方，因此我们需要采取这一行动。”
