Today I see many people mix Punjabi culture things with sikhi. Like I personally think that Bhangra, giddha and other things like this aren’t related to sikhi and aren’t allowed for Sikh to do. People need to understand that being Punjabi is different than being a Sikh. Do u guys think that Bhangra and giddha r forbidden in sikhi?? I wanna hear sum more people’s vichar in this

With the jat Sikhs making the majority in Punjab and having the most power . IE in terms of politics and also religiously. IE all major people controling and running the Gurdwaras being from this demographic. Should other castes be give some kind of quota for top jobs so we can have more equality and diversity in the Punjabi society and social strata. Or are they to power hungry and unable to share? I think that is the only way of achieving a strong United Punjab instead of one where there is to much in fighting and resentments.

So..in my Gnostic esque dive of all the information in the world, and shortly after becoming a Sikh, I worked with a Jamaican who's understanding of the Bible blew my mind. As part of my ongoing study of imperialism, and due to many factors of narratives overlapping, what I now know is BHI doctrine became woven into my world view and I quoted those israelites regarding the bible. Often times correctly. Sometimes fully, sometimes in spirit but not detail. Places where they are correct. Jews. Black. Priesthood? Black Laws and covenants? For keeping. Jesus? Not cesare borgia. Not white. Catholic church? Probably run by satan. Pl…

(bit of a rant) A growing number of Sikh/Panjabis lack strong ambition in life except moving to another country. As soon as they finish school, they start preparing for a some English test. Numerous 'coaching' centres for this test have opened up on almost every street in Panjab cities and towns. Even some political parties were offering financial assistance for Panjabi youth to go abroad! These parties should instead be focusing on creating employment in Panjab rather encouraging all the young population to go to other countries so their governance isn't questioned in the future. There are less opportunities for people in Panjab but some are lazy. A lot r…

Hi, Thanks for being dishonest in every way you conduct yourselves. The word fudu and pendu has been used countless times by poster @dallysingh101. Never once was he placed on quality control. This double standard will continue because you guys are shameless. I know one of you will blame a single mod for it. But this has been going on for more than a decade and none of you have fixed the issue. Instead you guys use it as an excuse for your double standard. For that reason I will call all of you fudus; its just a colorful word to say how incompetent your team is. Like it or not but there is no better way to say it. I salute you with a capital F.

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.
