Family, friends mourn Kent motel owner By Michael Ko Seattle Times staff reporter KEN LAMBERT / THE SEATTLE TIMES Family and friends share their grief yesterday over the death of Nirmal Singh Thind, who was shot Monday during what police are calling an attempted robbery at the Kent New Best Inn motel he co-owned with his brother-in-law. Thind, 44, is being remembered as a helpful, honest man who others often sought-out for advice or moral support. There were more than a dozen women sitting on the living room floor of a suburban Kent home yesterday. Most of them wore white, except for the widow, whose head was wrapped in black. They leaned on each other for support…

http://us.rediff.com/news/2004/jun/03inter...~Khalistan' 'Pakistan would have recognised Khalistan' The Rediff Interview/Lieutenant General Kuldip Singh Brar (retired) When military officers retire, they move into what the armed forces euphemistically call 'civilian areas,' where the likes of you and me live. But when Lieutenant General Kuldip Singh Brar retired, he had to reside in the cantonment area of Mumbai, in a bungalow guarded by a huge black gate, with army soldiers and policemen on watch round the clock. Brar is probably the most protected army officer today, in service or retired. And all because one fateful night, 20 years ago, the then major general comma…

Does anyone know more about this? As ever the UK media love these kind of stories. Notice how the headline reads a 'leading member of the Sikh community'. How do we let people like this be given the label of community leader? How active was this guy in the Sikh Sangat? Was he a GurSikh? http://www.wellingboroughtoday.co.uk/ViewA...rticleID=797799 Community leader in drugs smuggling bid A leading member of the Sikh community has admitted trying to smuggle more than £1,200 of heroin and cannabis to inmates at Wellingborough Prison.

Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it. -
Yeah, that's one possibility. Another I initially thought is that it's a Muslim trying to gather info. But then, you might ask, how does he know about Sikh textual sources. Well, you'd be surprised at their resourcefulness. A final possibility is he's a weak Sikh who was asked a question by a non-Sikh and now he's suddenly feverishly wondering where it's "written" that you can't marry a young child. To the latter, I would say, you're looking in the wrong spot. Gurbani isn't a 1428 page rulebook, like Leviticus or the Vedas: ਸਿਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਸਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਪੁੰਨ ਪਾਪ ਬੀਚਾਰਦੇ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਬਾਝਹੁ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ The Simritis and Shastras discriminate between charity and sin, but know not the essence of the Real Thing. Without the Guru, they know not the essence of the Reality, know not the essence of the Reality. Anand Sahib.

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.
