Racists
by Guest raj- 8 replies

SSA, Hi everyone. Well I have been unemployed for quite a while now. Which is bad enough on its own. But my last 2 interviews have left me feeling quite bad. on both occasions i got the feeling that the interviewers where racist. I got quite a few snidely looks ect. is this due to the current climate. ie with 'Asians' all over the papers for bad stuff . and white people reading the papers everyday about how bad Asians are? ive never felt this amount of hatred before. ie i have many white friends in the past. but now i just feel totally different about white people and how racist they can be.

Who am I?

I was born in a family where my father called himself a sahajdhari Sikh. My nanaji knew Guru Granth Sahib Ji by heart and predicted his and my nani's time of death. I was told that from our families, the first son was dedicated to the Guru in olden times and that he would become a keshdhari Sikh. Whenever I was sick in my childhood, Sukhmani Sahib was recited by my mother, which she knew by heart. I went to Bangla Sahib to bathe in the sarovar and drank the holy water, which made me well again. I have grown up in this family where some of my cousins are Sikhs. I could not believe what I heard in an audio message today that Navjot Singh Sidhu is not a Sikh because he …

Sat sri akaal everyone. There is this girl that i have been friends with for a long time, since childhood and a few yeras back me and her got into a silly little relationship. it didnt work out. But i went off the rails and began to do stupid things.

Reuben Singh

WJKK, WJKF Do any of you guys remember a singh from Reuben singh from Manchester/Cheshire? He was well known in the 90's up to around 2006 because he was a big millionnaire. Back in those days, he used to bring loads of Ragi's to U.K with Jaswinder Kohli but Kohli stopped because due to charity work in India. Anyway I was just asking, what is he doing now because I heard he got bankcrupt (which is also on wikipedia) but that was 5 years ago or so. P.S I remembered him as I saw him at Manchester Gurdwara where Sant Baba Ranjit Singh Dhadiran Wale was doing a diwan and he was the one who drove baba ji to the Gurdwara in a royals royce...lol

Daughter is turning her back on Sikhi 1 2
by Guest Maha Paapi- 12 replies
- 1.4k views
We have tried to bring up our children in the right way. Encouraging them to read Paath, recite Mool Mantar, attend Gurudwara and so much more. Over time my 13 year old has become more and more distant from Sikhi. Refusing to read from Gutka, never doing Mool Mantar, saying she doesn’t want to go to the Gurudwara. We have never forced it upon her and have tried to calmly discuss this with her however she just seems to be getting worse. I can not explain how heartbroken I feel, I sit alone and reflect on my shortcomings as a parent and can not help but blame myself for being a bad parent. It’s so so sad to see, my one wish was that my children would love …

I need help regarding my dilemma. I met a transgender woman at a social event a few weeks ago and she told me I was very attractive and wanted to go out on a date with me. I told her she was a nice person but I am not attracted to transgender women. She then got furious and accused me of trans-phobia. A week after meeting her, she got a hold of my work place and started sending emails to my co-workers and boss saying that I am a pervert. What should I do?

Parents & Guru Ji 1 2

- 1.4k views
Fateh to all. I am very curious in this matter which i am about to propose infront of you, the beautiful sangat. I would like to join sikhi one day but this is damaging the barrier with my parents. If i was to join sikhi i would have to abandon my parents, and they wouldnt go to my wedding or ever talk or even acknowledge me again. So the question which is causing me some stress needless to say is "Do i respect my family's choice by not converting to Sikhi or do i joing the path?" I have heard about respecting your parents and but then again Vaaheguroo is our father, mother... So what do i do? Many thanks and ill be greatful for your input :TH:

Pardeep Attri The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history, Then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long the nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was. The world around it will forget even faster. The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting. - Milan Kundera. In the month June 2012, the Government of Punjab announced that it will set up a 'cow memorial' at a factory site in Joga town, Mansa District, where recovery of cow carcasses had sparked off riots. And a day after announcing a 'cow memorial', the Badal G…

back then was waaaay different. ppl didn’t attend higher education or have much to do after the age of like… 13, lol. you’d have 13 year olds boys and girls that know how to do kethi, cook entire meals, etc nowadays even 22 year olds are extremely immature and can be sheltered. the average person doesn’t know how to do anything except their 9-5 which they are probably half arsing as well. -
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.
