https://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/hard-kaur-real-name-taran-dhillon-remove-the-suffix-kaur-from-her-stage-name?utm_campaign=share_button_action_box&utm_medium=facebook&utm_source=share_petition Vaheguru Jee Ka Khalsaa Vaheguru Jee Kee Fateh, Taran Dhillon, allegedly India's first Female Indian Rapper has been using the suffix of 'Kaur' to her chosen stage name of "Hard-Kaur" for many years and it has been a great shame that she has not been stopped, reprimanded or educated of the deep sacrilege she is performing. "Hard-Kaur" is a pathetic and foolish pun of the term 'hardcore' which can refer to a genre of music, wrestling or even pornography. Although everyone is free to pursue the path they wish and we do not intend to preach to 'Taran Dhillon', it should not be for anyone's liberty to denigrate religious terms and values so grossly. In the Sikh faith the term "Kaur" represents the elated and unique position of the female in the Khalsa Panth. The Sikh Guru's came into the world at a time of great social darkness and brought with them the illuminating force of truth which after centuries of suppression voiced for the rights and opportunities for of all humanity, including women. The Tenth Guru (Enlightener, Master) Sri Guru Gobind Singh created the Khalsa as an order of 'Saint-Soldiers' to combat the vices of the mind as a saint and to defend and uphold the dignity of righteousness as a soldier. Men and women were included into this order indiscriminately, and even the women of the Guru's own family became initiates of the Khalsa. The Guru blessed the adherents of the code of the Khalsa with the suffixes of Singh (for males) and Kaur (for females), eradicating the notion of caste which was contained in the ancestral surnames of the people of India. Kaur means "Princess" and is reserved for the practising and progressing female members of the Sikh faith. It is of great insult that Taran Dhillon who represents and encourages nearly everything that the faith opposes uses this great blessing as part of her stage name. Her shameful behaviour has been highlighted in the Media in recent days where she has been accused of insulting Sri Guru Gobind Singh, mocking the unshorn hair of a Sikh and using foul language which degenerative to womankind. Her music encourages alcoholism and many other social vices which clearly oppose Sikh Ethos. We urge all Sikhs across the globe to sign this petition to raise awareness and demonstrate our disgust at Taran Dhillon who through no means is capable of being referred to as "Kaur". We hope she changes her stage name as soon as possible before the sentiments of the sangat are hurt further, at which stage no one can be held accountable for the consequences. The way she sings, dresses etc is all entirely her choice however the suffix of Kaur belongs to the PANTH and its misuse will not be tolerated. Kaur - ਉਸ ਸਿੰਘਣੀ ਦੀ ਉਪਾਧਿ, ਜਿਸ ਨੇ ਖੰਡੇ ਦਾ ਅਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਛਕਿਆ ਹੈ, ਜੈਸੇ ਪੁਰਖ ਦੇ ਨਾਉਂ ਨਾਲ ਸਿੰਘ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਜੋੜਿਆ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ ਤੈਸੇ ਸਿੰਘਣੀ ਦੇ ਨਾਉਂ ਨਾਲ ਕੌਰ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਲਾਈਦਾ ਹੈ. ਅਸਲ ਵਿੱਚ ਇਹ ਸ਼ਬਦ "ਕੁੰਵਿਰ" (ਕੌਰਿ)¹ਹੈ (Mahaan Kosh, Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha)

Sikh supposed to be learner, learning never stops bro, we as human always learning, revising opinions based on our spiritual/political growth :D

Her father was a proper Sikh who was killed by Hindus in India. After he died she and her mother came to England and managed to get citizenship on the back of the fact that their lives as Sikhs were not safe in Hindu India. As soon as mother and daughter got British citizenship they showed their true colours. So you , me everybody.....absolutely everybody...has been taken for a ride by Hard Kaur. We, the British Sikhs.....the British govt....and now the Indians. The woman is besharm personified. And....as she can never be regarded as a British Sikh or even Punjabi because she isn't in any sense of the word, she is actually a good example of the state of Punjabis in India these days. Their morals and ethics are nothing like the established Sikhs of the UK, Canada or America. Like I said before, lets hope this FIR arrest request is carried through.

When I was studying for A-levels, I was putting in around 12 hours per day in three hour chunks. Exam technique is important and you need to practice this skill. Do not let nerves get the best of you. Before even touching the paper, I would recite mool mantar paath. When doing the exam, the first thing I did was look through the whole paper to make sure there were no nasty surprises and it allowed me to focus my time appropriately eg spend more time on sections with higher marks. The second thing I would do is do all the easy questions that I could answer quickly. If there were any essay/lengthy answer sections, I'd make an essay plan of things I wanted to cover before writing so I didn't get writers block. If there were any times when I got stuck, I'd close my eyes for a few seconds, recite Waheguru a few times and then have another look at the question. Finally, I would spend the last 15-20 mins of an exam reading through my answers, making sure I filled the appropriate sections, didn't make any silly mistakes or miss out and questions. You can only give your best. An exam is an artificial condition and you need to practice this stuff. In my 12-hour revision sessions, I would sit three exams and mark them (took 3h each) and then spend 3h looking at what I did right/wrong and then made sure I learnt it. Good exam technique will help you through life.

Wow Neo Siyan! I never thought I would live to see the day when you would come out against Islam (ok, so it's sunni sharia Islam). I remember advising you some years ago that you will have to take off you rose tinted glasses and realise how dangerous Islam is, but I never thought it would be so soon!

Everyone should watch three stages of Jihad..!! It will open your eyes..actually don't mind Sufism or Shia sect in Islam flourishing as they are more attached to marfat and hakikat(mystic) level of the dharam but not hostile/anti social cults like sharia sunnis, wahabis.. 70% of islam is full of fascist sunni ideology..sooner sunni idealogy is uprooted better it is for humanity. Guru Maharaj and Sikhi have always stood against fascist Aurangzeb type sharia islam....!!!!

This brother is the best Sikh preacher on social media. The magical sikhi related solutions he comes out with makes him and his videos real assets for the community. May Waheguru bless him and his mission

I am amritdhari but did "dad" tell her to leave?

I would suggest that any Sikh who comes across anything like that on twitter should report it to the local police. Putting something on twitter is the same as if you have published it. Until some arse*ole is taken to court and gets a custodial sentence these idiots won't stop.

but to daas also it gives same impression because of ur profile picture ..........

I am not being on her side ....what she said about Guruji was wrong and she should be held accountable for it and Sikhs should not take it lightly.. My point was that she made comments on some sikh guy's darhi and cursed out another sikh guy who wore pagh.... Did our Guru Gobind Singhji wanted us Sikhs to wear his gifts:Darhi and turban and go to these cheap and filthy dance concerts? They were equally responsible for shaming themselves and our Guru...That night when they were supposed to be at home doing path or going to Gurdwara for rainsabaee keertan ( as instructed by our Guru) they chose to go to that concert...

Her mother is a well known 'beauty parlour' lady on the Soho Road in Birmingham. In Punjab ladies that run beauty parlours have a reputation for being skanks. Hard Kaur's mum did nothing to counter that stereotype. As for Hard Kaur itself, and I say 'it' because there's nothing even remotely feminine about it that would merit a 'her' or 'she', after being treated as both a bycycle and a joke by UK Asians she left for India to re-invent herself. After years and years of copious amounts of marijuana and alcohol mental psychosis has set in to the extent that she actually believes the lies she has spun. She told the Indians she was a respected 'star' in the UK. The Indians, being the mugs that they are, swallowed the lie hook line and sinker. She went to India addicted to cigarettes, alcohol and weed. Since adopting the position of bollywood bicycle she has since become addicted to much harder substances. She barely knew how to utter a coherent sentence in the English language before she went but these days her English is nothing more than a set of meaningless mumbles. She is nothing more than a sad joke who should get herself checked into a mental institution as soon as possible. Failing that, an arrest in India on the FIR being filed by Sikh organisations might just be the best thing for her mental well-being. It might finally wake the b*** up from her drunken drug-fuelled stupor.

Man, just as a note, and I know ya'll are gonna hate me for this: I strongly dislike anyone using horrible, offensive language towards anyone else. It does not make you better than that person. It does not reflect the way Sikhs should carry themselves. Yes, we all get heated and annoyed- control it. Even someone doing wrong doesnt justify you wishing bad upon them- understand this! Take whatever steps you feel necessary, but before you say something remember that the girl has feelings too. So do her parents. Stop blaming the darn parents, most did the best that they could, gosh damn. I'm of the opinion that elders should be respected at least to an extent.

true, but I blame her parents for her upbringing, they should have given her some ਸ਼ਿੱਤਰ when she was a child.

Very good initiative to shame the filthy creature.

Whatever your thoughts about EDL please do not take out your frustration on the Gas and Electricity giant EDF. Apparently, over the last few days, the French utility giant has been receiving hate mail from people demanding to know why they, as a public company, were out in the streets of Woolwich trying to convert people to facism. :biggrin2: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/woolwich-attack-twitter-users-confuse-1906011

Maybe not from our community but it dont matter

Facebook ? What a place to apologize !

Great lets find our her intent just in case her actions are justifiable. And if worse comes to absolute worst get the law involved. Sadly new age Sikhs are no longer sher's!

Rarra ( ੜ ) is a common one people struggle with and often say ਰ instead. ਰ - When you say this one you tongue is at the front of your mouth. ੜ - When you say this, your tongue needs to go to the top of your mouth towards the back and flick towards the front. Hope that helps,

Akal Takht Sahib made standpoint clear not once but few times regarding this issue. Sikh does not hate anyone neither they discriminate against anyone and we all know that. This website stands with Akal Takht Sahib on gurmat and other religious issues.

Why r u asking me??? I am not your father or something..... Should I leave this forum???

I've had many dreams where in my dream I know there is a ghost around me or in front of me and I usually sit down and start doing path. And when I do path the ghost vanishes. I've had this dream many times.

And you resulting to taking Sri Sahib out (in the dream but it seems real until you wake up)? or different ghost dreams? If so, dass has experienced these aswell, continue your nitnem. At the moment, the 5 chor are trying to throw me off the path, they are going to get slaughtered with Bani! WaheguruJiKaKhalsa WaheguruJiKiFateh

She is filled with haumai... What she said about Dashmesh Pita was wrong and actions should be taken against her.. :pissed: As far as hurting Sikhs in her concert, I think she did good.. If you are Sikh of Guru Gobind Singh and you have darha prakash and then you go these filthy concerts, you are entitled to be humiliated.... Bhul chuk Maar Karnaji

THERES NO COVERAGE OF THIS ON FB IN THE USUAL GROUPS LIKE DAL KHALSA SP OR KESRI LEHAR

I have been in a similar situation and still am sometimes. But I tell myself this what is most important to you? And the number one on my list is guru Jee so that's my first propriety. Do Simran, sangat, seva, etc. When I start focusing ALOT on school and stuff then i don't do well with my spiritual life, if I focus ALOT on bhagti and everything then I don't do well in school. Thing is we need balance in our life. Study for your exams but not like crazy. Have breaks when your studying, on your break go do some Simran. Going to sangat is super important if I miss sangat then my life starts falling apart to the max. Go to sangat !!! But also study for your exams. Go to sangat for however long it is and then left over time study. I don't know if this helps but I try to do it. I make sure that my number one thing gets done. It's all about balancing if you ask me. If you do simran and focus on guru jee then he will help you, he will do everything for you, im not saying dont study, study but not like crazy. Have faith in guru jee, dont worry about ur exams guru jee will do everything if u do Simran, u will be like wow guru sahib Jee I never even thought about my exams and everything went well u did it all for me by urself, I just did Simran and never worried about anything and u u made it happen and I never even had to ask you for help etc. Do u get what I'm trying to say ? Hope I helped a little and if I said anything wrong then I'm very sorry.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-22644857 The soldier killed in an attack in London has been named as Drummer Lee Rigby of the 2nd Battalion the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers. Drummer Rigby, 25, from Manchester, leaves behind a two-year-old son. Two suspects shot by police after Wednesday's attack in Woolwich remain under arrest. A further two people have been arrested on conspiracy to murder. The two suspects who were shot, believed to include Michael Adebolajo, were known to security services. Scotland Yard said the latest arrests were of a man and woman, both aged 29. The victim's name was announced by the Ministry of Defence pending formal police identification. A post mortem examination was being carried out on Thursday. In a statement the MoD said: "An extremely popular and witty soldier, Drummer Rigby was a larger than life personality within the Corps of Drums and was well known, liked and respected across the Second Fusiliers. "He was a passionate and life-long Manchester United fan." He had joined the Army in 2006, and is described as a "loving father to his son Jack" and someone who would be "sorely missed by all who knew him". In other developments: The two suspects who were shot remain in separate London hospitals in stable conditions with non-life-threatening injuries Six residential addresses are being searched: three in south London, one in east London, one in north London and one in Lincoln Items were recovered from the Woolwich scene, police said An increased police presence will be in Woolwich and the surrounding areas through Thursday night and "as long as needed", Assistant Commissioner for Specialist Crime and Operations Mark Rowley said With dozens of witnesses to the killing, police are urging them to contact the Met's anti-terrorism hotline with information 'Senseless murder' Drummer Rigby had taken up a post with the Regimental Recruiting Team in London in 2011. "An experienced and talented side drummer and machine gunner, he was a true warrior and served with distinction in Afghanistan, Germany and Cyprus," said 2nd Fusiliers commanding officer Lt Col Jim Taylor. "His ability, talent and personality made him a natural choice to work in the recruiting group." Capt Alan Williamson said: "Drummer Rigby or 'Riggers' as he was known within the platoon was a cheeky and humorous man, always there with a joke to brighten the mood." Defence Secretary Philip Hammond said: "This was a senseless murder of a soldier who has served the Army faithfully in a variety of roles including operational tours in Afghanistan. "Our thoughts today are with his family and loved ones who are trying to come to terms with this terrible loss." Speaking earlier outside 10 Downing Street, Prime Minister David Cameron said the attacks were "solely and purely" the responsibility of the individuals involved. Mr Hammond was asked if the attack showed how vulnerable soldiers were, whether they were in uniform or not. He replied: "I think it reminds us how vulnerable we all are, but it also reminds us, by the response of the public, that we are not going to be cowed by this kind of terrorist action." Chief of Defence Staff General Sir David Richards said: "It's always a tragedy, it's particularly poignant that it happened on the streets of this capital city of ours. "We're absolutely determined not to be intimated into not doing the right thing - whether it's here in this country or in Afghanistan or wherever we seek to serve the nation." Security at Woolwich Barracks and others in London has been increased, and Gen Richards said: "I'm confident that base security is as tight as it's every been, and necessarily so. "It's a very difficult balancing act. We are very proud of the uniform we wear, we have huge support around the country, this is a completely isolated incident." Shortly after the killing a man, thought to be 28-year-old Mr Adebolajo, was filmed by a passer-by, saying he carried out the attack because British soldiers killed Muslims every day. Sources said reports the men had featured in "several investigations" in recent years - but were not deemed to be planning an attack - "were not inaccurate". According to BBC sources, Mr Adebolajo, a Briton of Nigerian descent, comes from a devout Christian family but took up Islam after leaving college in 2001. Michael Adebolajo was filmed at a protest The BBC has uncovered its own footage of one of the alleged Woolwich attackers, taking part in an Islamist demonstration in April 2007 against the arrest of a man from Luton. Mr Adebolajo can be seen standing in a crowd of men outside Paddington Green police station, holding a placard reading "Crusade Against Muslims". He is standing next to Anjem Choudary, who was the leader of al-Muhajiroun, a now-banned organisation. Mr Choudary said Mr Adebojalo was previously associated with the group, but went his own way in around 2010. The Independent Police Complaints Commission sent 12 investigators to look at the scene and its aftermath. They have reviewed CCTV footage from a local authority camera, and said two officers fired shots and one officer discharged a Taser. One of the shot men received first aid from the firearms officers. "At this stage we are not pursuing any criminal or misconduct offences," said Commissioner Derrick Campbell.

Two fascist scumbag groups, one fascist idealogy..!!!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psZBaJU_Cvo

she will leave for jamlok with nothing that is for sure ,but revenge shud be don bcoz any other b4 trying it know the consequenses.............

Funny thing is nobody will remember her when she's gone (through natural causes, Singhs, I'm not recommending anyone go on a revenge mission!), whilst Guru Sahib's achievements will resound through the ages. Let these foolish people bark, even if it is under the influence of intoxicants.

She is 50% responsible for her filthy behavior and thoughts the other 50% of the fault lays at the feet of her mother who raised a dirty whoore and not a kaur

Badi Daring Gori hai, Jidan sidha lumad de munh ch haath paa taa. Are Gurudwaras across the UK taking appropriate precautionary measures including any Police Protection for any misidentified attack?

I hope Sikhs in UK will give a proper treatment to this filthy creature.

I agree. I'm not against anyone having different beliefs. However, misrepresentation of Sikhi shouldn't be classed as merely a 'different belief'. Ironically they purport to follow the same Guru and yet are vastly different. This makes no sense. Their as bad as the various baba dera's in India. Misrepresenting Sikhi is a serious problem. The masses sadly have no idea what Sikhi is about. It's such misunderstandings which are easily perpetuated through communities that ultimately leave the kaum being divided. A divided kaum is a weak kaum.

As much as i hate any kind of killing / murder this can NOT be described as a terrorst attack as for once the muslims actually attacked a military combatant and did not target a innocent civilian. Also we must explore the role of govt and its security services who have been caught at times to stage or allow these attacks to take place or even encourage them by aiding the attackers so in order to bring in more draconian legislation and more infringements on all our civil liberties

My strength is waheguru.....

I agree that Kesh is very important in Sikhi. But I still find Keshdhari Sikhs dancing and swaying their hips to Gurbani is very disrespectful. "Ades Tisai Ades, Aad Aneel Anad Anahat Jug Jug Eko Ves" This Gurbani Pangati glorifies Waheguru Ji. The meaning of this pangti goes much beyond the understanding of most of us on this forum. I find this beadbi. I can't believe some people are saying this is okay. And some people are comparing this to Kesh when the two are on opposite ends. This isn't about kesh. This thread wasn't even about the 3HO practices. In fact if Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj were here in deh saroop, would they accept such things? I understand that the so called Punjabi Sikhs also contribute in beadbi. We aren't a sharia religion but dancing to Gurbani is just plain wrong. Someone needs to do better parchar to the 3HO Sikhs. In the video, the lady is saying "people say Gurdwaras are boring, but if everyone did kirtan like this then Gurdwara wouldn't be boring" Gurdwara Sahib isn't a place for amusement, you don't need to have "fun" like that there. You need to connect with Guru Sahib. Do seva and read Gurbani. When people sway their hips to Gurbani are they understanding the meaning of the pangti? Do they even know what they're saying? Sikhi is far more deeper than this. Also, instead of bashing on the 3HO Sikhs, we need to figure out how to do parchar to them. How to teach them how our Guru Sahibs lived Sikhi. How mahan Sants have lived Sikhi. By being humble. By understanding the reality behind worldly pleasures. In fact several Punjabis despite having haircuts understand the reality of Sikhi. They know how to keep maryada of Guru Granth Sahib Ji. They understand that real Sikhi is how Sant Isher Singh ji used to live or how Sant Jarnail Singh Ji used to live. Yes Punjabi Sikhs do plenty harm as well. As someone above stated, when our womenfolk dance to dirty punjabi songs Honey Singh stuff its wrong. But Gurbani is pavitar. Gurbani is more pavitar than a Sikh. Because Guru Ji is greater than a Sikh. So if a Sikh cuts their hair, yes thats bad. But it is not comprable to mocking Gurbani. Who says a Mona can't sit on Tabiya? I know of many people, some very very close to me, who read much more bani than a lot of us. But they haven't taken amrit. I know of many people who read so much bani and they do rol in Akhand Paths. So where does it say a haircut person can't sit on Tabiya? Someone might be keeping Kesh but committing crimes yet they have the permission to sit on Tabiya but someone who has a hair cut but is trying to get into Sikhi trying to get close to Guru sahib reads a lot of bani cannot sit on Tabiya.... Bhul Chuk Maaf

Bit extreme. I don't think the gurus ever shot someone because they had different beliefs.

I, for one, welcome our Islamic overlords. I'd like to remind them that as a trusted member of society I could be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground... well, nevermind. I've not lost my mind.

they trying the modern approach. if they do thoof then sombody complains about th thoof, if they do fragrance spray, sombody complains about that. What are they suppose to do.

Some mitha? Dates & coconut laddos ingredients : 200 gms dates 100 gms desicated coconut 100 gms finely chopped cashewnuts (should look like grated cheese, i don't know how else to describe) 100 gms finely chopped almonds Mix all the above ingredients so they form a nice dough. Using your hands, make small laddos and they're ready to eat.. No cooking required
