  1. I feel like its apne in general. Look at us, we're on here arguing amongst ourselves. We're collectively stupid in not understanding that this caste bs is just worldy. These stupid titles won't go with you in the end. That's the problem in the panth. This is all the doing of those farangis who introduced their European politics into our panth. This was the SAME thing they did to the Indigenous populations in Canada. Prime reason why we have such incompetent leaders.

  2. Sorry veerji, I should have clarified. I was trying to speak to leadership thing. Rather than being a caste problem in regards to leadership, it is more the result of political ideologies that were placed upon us. As we all know, these ramifications are still felt to this day. For example, the Canadian government forced Indigenous populations to adopt European politics in governing their bands (band council) and forced them to shed their traditional leadership methods. We all know the state of this community, especially here in Canada. At the end of the day, if you put a Khatri or even a Mazhabi into the leadership positions we have today, we are still going to be in the same position. Why? Because this is not a system that was given to us by our pyaara SatGuru. We let a farangi system tell us what to do, how to manage our gurdwaras, and so on. Instead of making this a caste issue, let us look at the root of it. To put it simply, a mlecch system is only going to produce mlecch leaders.

  3. True, I think it’s important that we become more humble and not be talking about of how great Sikhs we are but rather be grateful for Guru Sahib. It’s also easier for our lot to talk about how Hindus and Muslims try to kill us, but we hide the parts where the enemy is one of our own, (KPS Gill, Badal, Brar).

  6. lol what has happened to you? you're on your jatt-bashing vendetta again, haven't see you on that for years. You should act a bit mature now, act like a Singh not someone who gets annoyed at the jatt word, that used to be people back in the 2000s when I remember Kenya sikhs getting all upset about the word! We have all moved on now, nobody cares anymore, otherwise it comes out as an inferiority complex, but instead you should be in Singh mode!.......

  7. If they aren't the most useless people on the planet, they are definitely up there. What a shame that such an advanced religion which has the cures for what ails mankind has been wasted on such pathetic people. What a shame that they have hijacked all of the Sikh institutions, injected the disease of tribalism into the Sikh community, and set the entire community on a path to irrelevance and extinction.

  9. We always tend to place the responsibility for our failings on these external figures, don't we? Brahmins, Brits, Mahants, etc. We seem to be very reluctant in confronting and accepting the darkness within ourselves that agrees with the devious whispers of these clever string-pullers; whispers that are ultimately acted upon by us in our day-to-day mundane lives. It's human nature. It's us. If we were strong in our beliefs, no outside party could ever convince us to do something contrary to those beliefs. But, like every other group on the planet, we are weak of spirit. And that's why we end up doing silly things.

  10. Someone can marry a Punjabi, doesn’t mean they’d stop being racist towards them. In the same way a Jatt could marry a chamar but still hold views of superiority. Just go on social media and see all the gandh in our community.

  17. I am a bit out of touch with the teens and punjabis in their 20s so please tell me something - do western punjabis of those ages still go on about being jatt? Although from a jatt background myself, I am out of touch, I don't even listen to bhangra anymore, preserving Raag keertan is thousands of time more important to preserve than that anyway. I am back at university as part of my continued professional development to specialise in something new, and have seen some of the new kids mention Moosewala and some other guy in sikh society Whatsapp groups. I am kinda happy that Panjab Radio banned Moosewala music during the pandemic. Good voice, but bad influence. Back in the 2000s, hearing Kenyan sikhs being upset about jatts, in real life in places such as university sikh societies, and online on forums such as this and facebook, really didn't inspire and confidence or respect in those people....

  18. Nah, these dumbos don't even know their own culture. They think it's some pure, innocent, rural fairy-tale. Let's educate them. That way some of them might get to understand why being a Singh is better than being a dutti jut. At least you know that wife-sharing is wrong in Sikh culture. Otherwise some of these might get confused about it..... or be too dumb to understand what's been going on in their 'culture' and believe the fairy tales.

  19. @GurjantGnostic- where in Ireland your family from ? https://www.derryjournal.com/health/derrys-ironman-hero-danny-quigley-shares-meal-in-sikh-gurdwara-with-friends-and-supporters-3450541 Derry’s Ironman hero Danny Quigley shares meal in Sikh Gurdwara with friends and supporters Derry’s Ironman hero Danny Quigley popped in to the Gurdwara in the Waterside to visit friends who contributed to his recent fundraising efforts for local mental health charities. By Kevin Mullan Tuesday, 9th November 2021, 10:48 am Danny was famously chosen as Charity Worker and Sportsperson of the Year at the Derry Journal People of the Year Awards after he raised over £100,000 for PIETA house and The Bogside Brandywell Health Forum by running 10 Ironmans in just 10 days. For the popular athlete it was a very personal challenge in memory of his late father Colm who sadly died by suicide 10 years ago. It was a poignant tribute to Colm who Danny has described as a ‘model father and my teacher’. Among his biggest supporters has been businessman and educator Amerjit (Simon) Singh Nagra, a key figure within Derry’s Sikh community and the NI. Sikh Association. Simon was delighted to welcome Danny and his son Mal to the Sikh temple at the top of Simpson’s Brae. “Danny and I share plans to build cross-community ties, because mental health does not differentiate between creed, race, religion or gender,” said Simon. “We want to ask all communities to join in our cause. I invited my great friend Iron man Danny Quigley - ‘Derry Journal Charity Worker and Sportsperson of the Year’ - to launch plans to team up, to improve mental health and help with poverty relief in the city.” During the summer Simon told the ‘Journal’ the Sikh community intended opening up the Gurdwara on a cross-community basis to provide a free kitchen and other initiatives. This, he said, chimed with the Sikh concept of ‘sewa,’ a principle of selfless volunteerism derived from the Punjabi word for ‘service.’ “The Sikh Community has agreed to produce hot healthy vegetarian meals with any one that requires them. Danny, who eats healthy, experienced our humanitarian culture and had his first ‘langar’ - meal together, which signifies no human being on earth should starve and eating together helps brings God’s humanity together crossing all boundaries and of course the social interaction improves mental health.” Derry

  20. A true sant considers himself to be the lowest of all. How can a true sant enjoy his own ustat? How can a true sant tell his chellaas to put his ustat in the ears of the humanity?

  21. We might be at the beginning of a bottleneck period where social structures that kept people in the faith will collapse to the point of no return, who knows. Just have to keep trekking along and see. People can instinctively see where the benefit and the easy path lies, and if nothing is stopping them, they will follow it. It may mean their lineage melts into a broader culture, but people could care less these days. It's just the point of where humanity is. As long as we have some beej-matra khalsa, we should be okay going into the future. Eventually some people will regret their decisions and see value in the Guru's Way and return home. Others will have drifted too far out. Just have to keep faith in the Guru, brother, there's not much me or you can do. And you know, if the Guru chooses, he could send in the heavy guns to turn the tides.

  30. I mean if we look at sikh theocracy it has always been just for the most part to people of all religions because we are not taught to subjugate people of other religions unlike certain global religions. I have full faith in sikhi and its rule because i know my people are not going out there kidnapping women of other religions, destroying places of worship of other religions, making life hell for people of other religions or letting people go hungry.

  32. yes but the thing is because we didn't get the chance to implement the sikh way of ruling most people dont know how it would be like and just assume they would be like the punjab politicians that we have currently. They also probably see the committee politics in gurudwaras and dont have much faith. I believe democracy is the biggest <banned word filter activated> because it gives power to the masses and then it causes issues for minorities when the majority dont have good interests for you.

  36. we are going to need multiple wives as well then. We will have to marry outside sikh girls as there won't be enough etc etc I am sure during yudh times Singhs married outside sikhs and made them sikhnis as well. A good example is the women that were saved from the Afghans.

  37. Hello, I would like to get SikhSangat's observations on the number of dastar-wearing Sikh women compared to the number of dastar-wearing (non-trimming, sabat surat) Sikh men under the age of 40 (I am most interested in the younger generation). It will be very interesting to see what Sikhs who live in the different part of the world have observed. Please state where you live, and whether your observation pertains to your locality, or if you believe it to be global (or over a wider geographic range than the area where you live). Please state your answer in the following format: "My observation is that for every non-trimming young Sikh man who wears a dastar, there are three young Sikh women who wear dastars" or "My observation is that for every young Sikh woman who wears a dastar, there are four non-trimming young Sikh men who wear dastars" You get the idea

  38. You make a great point. I remember when I was a kid. You'd see a clean shaven Sikh uncle, and almost without exception, his wife would still have uncut hair tied in a bun. Almost all the "uncles" in our social circle were monay, but I really cannot recall every seeing an "auntie" type with a haircut. (Perhaps the situation was different in the UK where, by the 80s and 90s, there were already "auntie" types who were born in (or grew up in) the UK and maybe they had haircuts.) In Punjab, certainly, the hair cutting trend among Sikh men started long, long before it picked up among Sikh women. It's shocking just how quickly it has somehow become more prevalent among Sikh women. I blame Sikh parents who take a sexist attitude and focus on their sons and their Sikhi while looking the other way when it comes to their daughters.

  40. I think Malwa gets more credit for keeping Sikhi alive than it deserves. Malwa is bigger than Majha and Doaba combined (in both land and population). So the contributions its people have made to Sikhi in recent times is a bit distorted (I say "recent times", because before 1947, Majha and Malwa were comparable in terms of land and Sikh population). Malwa is so much bigger that it dominates. It is notable that even though Majha has a much smaller population than Malwa, the vast majority of young Sikhs who took up arms in the 1980s were from Majha. The Majha district (especially what is now Amritsar District and Tarn Taran District) have historically been the strongholds of Sikhi. However, this region was the hardest hit during the dark times of the 1980s and 1990s, and it is perhaps the hardest hit today when it comes to the drug epidemic. Sadly, the Sikh youth in Majha seem to have discarded their kesh, do not follow rehat, and have in many cases succumbed to drugs.

  43. The question is sir, who will communicate these ideas to the ones in power? As is evident, Sikhsangat is on their constant radar and now that we're devising plans how to combat negative publicity, our foes will devise counter measures as well. And if we don't "broadcast" the views of our members, we would be accused as Brar supporters.

  44. So an ex-army general who is hated worldwide and given Z level security in India goes to UK where the passions against him are hottest and chooses to go to the most unsafest part of town at the worst time of the day without any security and gets mugged by robbers which is translated into attempted assassination.

  46. Maybe it's not 99%. Maybe it's 97% or 95%. But do you really think it's something dramatically different? I'm not turning this into a discussion about cutting hair. The point is, if every Sikh male wore a pag, we would have a lot more visibility than we do now and a lot more people would know who we are. You'd be surprised how many times I've run into Americans who talk to me and act like I'm the only Sikh they've ever met until I point out some clean shaven Sikhs who they themselves know. Many Americans with limited exposure to Sikhism think we all wear turbans. Then they look around and see how few turbanned Sikhs there are and they come away with the impression that we are a much smaller group of people than we actually are. We are a small group, but not THAT small. If people knew how many of us there really are, we would get a lot more recognition as a major religion and significant part of the community. Finally, I'm sorry if I'm hurting some feelings here, but I think it's just a fact that your average mona Sikh is not going to feel as much of a need to spread awareness about who Sikhs are because they are usually not going to be confronted.
