What are the Sangat's thoughts on having servant/maid/paid help in their household? A bit random, but many of you who have visited India and other countries will be aware that it's quite common for those who are well off to have servant who does many household chores/work like cooking, cleaning etc. Some families have a chauffeur also These jobs can be well paid compared to what they might make doing something else, but would be nothing compared to wages in many Western countries. I personally if I could afford, would have a chef. But only if I really trusted them (an Amritdhari Singh or Kaur maybe). Overall however, I don't like the idea, because you…

'Bulli Bai' is a website that purported to offer Muslim women for 'sale', the second time in less than a year that a fake online auction of this kind has sparked outrage in India. The website was created on GitHub, an American coding platform which developers use to build and host software. This time the app's major language is Punjabi and a turban logo. An engineering student from Bengaluru (south India) has been held by the police for questioning related to the app. The motive is clear, whoever created this app is trying to create hate and anger against Sikhs by using the Gurmukhi script and Sikh symbols. https://www.afternoonvoice.com/bulli-bai-ap…

In this position, waste elimination is easier, faster and complete. Sitting, on the other hand, obstructs the passage of waste through the colon.

Just watched this earlier. Well worth a watch, but if you're the type into faggy movies with Bhangra singers as the lead roles, that has bhundoo dance routines every 25 minutes (or flying peasants), this might not be your cup of tea. It felt very long, and the last bit was very emotive. The director done some good work subtly suggestive of 1984 and the recent farmers andolan.
