The Sikh Federation (UK) is the first ever Sikh political party in the UK. The Federation is based on the "miri-piri" principle - the Sikh principle that temporal and spiritual goals are indivisible. It aims to work closely with each of the main political parties to promote relevant issues set out in the Sikh Agenda for the UK Government. The Federation was launched in September 2003 with the aim of giving Sikhs a stronger political voice by taking an increasing interest in mainstream politics in the UK. It is developing an extensive organisational structure with branches in each major town and city with a sizeable Sikh population. The aim is to have around 6…

Sehajdharis to move court Tribune India Wednesday, 22nd October 2003 Ludhiana -- The Sehajdhari Sikh Federation (SSF) has condemned the decision of the Ministry of Home Affairs disenfranchising Sehajdharis to vote in the SGPC (Search) elections stating that the move will create a “minority within a minority.” The party will challenge the notification in court. “This is the culmination of the attempts by the Akalis to deprive Sehajdhari Sikhs from voting in the SGPC elections. This is a deep-rooted conspiracy to drive a wedge between the already fragmented minority community, besides denying representation to more than 80 per cent of the Sikhs in the world,” says Dr …

I have personally seen "sardars" hanging outside of schools, drinking and smoking. What a disgrace... I have heard form friends and people....all saying sikhism looks as if it is a bad religlion. The sikhs in the new york area (no I am not streotyping) have to change their attitude and v…

I’m just curious, why is it that the Puraatan Dumallaahs were really pointy, unlike todays dumallaah which are usually more round on top? For example take a look at this model by clicking on the following link to see how a puraatan dumallaah use to look like: http://photos.waheguroo.com/details.ppa?image_id=460 This doesn't look like a contemporary dumallaah now does it? how did puraathan dumallaah get so pointy on the top?

Yeah Dhadi and Kaweshria are known for joking around now and then. -
Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
