Sarika Watkins-Singh, 14, of mixed Welsh-Punjabi parentage, has been suspended three times from the Aberdare Girls School for wearing the kada.

"Sarika's repeated suspension shows a flagrant disregard for her freedom of religious conscience, at the cost of her education. She should not be made to chose between her faith and her schooling. Sarika must be allowed to return to her education immediately and wear her Kara at school as an expression of her faith." Ken Livingstone, Mayor of London 21 November 2007

Waheguru Ji ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh Is there anyone over here who would be interested in helping me design a series of posters for a variety of different events to be hosted in 2008? If anyone is interested could you please PM me so I can provide you with further details etc. Hopefully this won’t make a difference but the events and the society organising them have nothing to do with Sikhi. Thanks Waheguru Ji ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

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.
