What kind of symbols are you talking about? If you are talking of the symbols of the initiated Sikh, they are to help him or her lead a better life. For instance, the iron bangle is to remind him/her to be strong as steel. It is also a symbol of a handcuff, to remind them they must not lift a hand to do a bad deed. These symbols also exist to give the Sikh a unique identity as a "saint soldier". Gobind Singh, the Sikh teacher, who gave some of these Sikh symbols said he wanted his Sikhs to stand out in any crowd. Sikh symbols serve the same functions as any other symbols in the world, to remind people of certain things and to portray a unique identity. I don't think there is any culture or religion without symbols.

What happens someone who is a Sikh but doesn't follow the 5 Ks dies?

In Sikhism, the 5 Ks are symbols of faith and discipline and are considered important for practicing Sikhs. However, adhering to the 5 Ks is not a requirement for salvation or determining a person's worthiness after death. Sikhism teaches that a person's actions and devotion to God are more significant than external symbols. Ultimately, it is believed that the state of a person's mind and their relationship with God will determine their fate after death.
