Areh no such thing.
They are two lifestyle of Punjabi, Sikh. One is amritari. They don't eat meat, no smoking, no drugs, no alcohol and it's compulsory to wear these 5 things khara, kechara, kanga, kirpan and they can not cut hair. This come with a responsibility and dedication. Everyone can be amritari bit it's not easy to keep. Being an amritari means they have certain obligations to follow. Giani's (priest) at Gurdwara are amritari.
Second, people like me. I'm not an amritari. I eat meat. I don't wear the 5 things. I wear only khara bxs it's a symbol of our religion. Every Punjabi has it on their right wrist.
Our last Guru said a sikh head should only bend in front of Guru Granth Sahib Ji. After Guru Gobind Singh Ji, we do not have any Guru and we workship and belives only in Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Guru Gobind Singh Ji asked shahidi of 5 people and gave them amrit. Make them wear the 5 things. If you see a Sikhism parade, you will see 5 houses. Those 5 houses represent the 5 shahidi.
Our Guru has never forced us to become vegetarian. He said, be an amritari when you're ready to devote yourself to God bxs it comes with responsibility.
After a baby completed 40 days, she / he will be given amrit jaal (holy water). The parents will make him wear khara. Some babies have sensitive skins so the parents will remove the khara.
Conclusion, wearing a khara doesn't come with rules. It's a symbol of our religion and khalsa.
