I wash my kacche and socks by hand.

Who is ur favourite Australian cricketer? I really admire Steve waugh's mental strength. I liked warne and Brett lee too. Even current captain cummins seems like a very nice guy. Steve Smith disgraced Australia but it's good to see him back. We all humans make mistakes. I never liked David warner's behaviour.

Very strong attack McGrath Gillespie warne West Indies bating was in terrible shape Only Jimmy adams was occupying crease for some time. Lara single handedly won the match.

Bhang was distributed to the entire Sangat by the Guru's Degh Sevadars. Need to read your Ithias bro and ditch the reefer madness colonial vibes. How the giant holes ground into the floors..or various Sakhi...or the Bhangi Misal has missed the attention of the post colionized Quom really baffles me. Shoot a Degh Sevadar came back as a bear for being rude to a Gursikh and stingy with the Sukha. And was then outed by Sat Guru and released from that Janum.

I'm about as excited as they guy receiving roti from the giant child with no Dhari.

I built one out of a five gallon bucket and a toilet plunger. Not nearly as cool.

Apparently theres huge power plants opening up here that burn guess what?

Very nice!

Legend??? He is still young and still has to prove himself as a legend. He is a very good international batsman but not a legend yet.

Plz reply in 'Improving medical care in India ' Also plz elaborate on this washing drum.

I recall there was a Singh who invented a washing drum to wash clothes with. It was non electrical and it had a handle that you rotated.

Just like how through Dharmic practices and bhagti we change to become more like Waheguru and gain his qualities and start acting accordingly so do they by their worship of these entities start projecting their energy and engage in activity that is very harmful to humanity. And they have been operating for millennia.

The use of terms like ghosts, aliens, demons, angels, etc, obfuscate what I believe are advanced entities composed of different physical matter existing on frequencies not always detectable to our five senses. The superstitions, folklore, etc, around these beings is meant to scare and confuse people.

Very wise brother. The internet is crawling with their cookies,bots and who knows what else just searching for certain keywords,phrases,images. The last thing our community needs at this moment is to be perceived as hostile resulting in direct attention from them.

I believe they are in direct communion with Asuric entities and high ranking demons which King Solomon pacified and controlled. A very old evil that led to the destruction of ancient Egypt, Babylon the Roman empire and now wants total hegemony over this planet.

Democracy is very bad. If a village is full of bad people, a politician will hv to lie to please people in that village to get votes. Democracy in our Gurdwawas has RUINED us. That's why nihangs shud control our gurdwaras. Just look at SGPC.

I would say Mitchell Starc, left arm fast bowler supremacy. Marnus is a legend, love watching him bat.

They have been celebrating in his ancestral village near Amristar that Shehbaaz Shareef is new Prime Minister and praying for him !

didn't watch is live, wasn't born then lol but I've seen replays, and mate, even though it was against australia, it was beautiful

they are waiting for the second coming which is NOT equivalent to khalsa raj because that coming is when the righteous will engage in war , the unrighteous will be removed from the planet.

I think we should avoid using tutti as fuel. That being said, when I was a kid in Panjab I saw my mum and massi making those cow tutti cakes that they squash onto walls from our buffalo's gohaa - it grossed me out and they were laughing at me! There must be plenty of dead wood fallen around Panjab, use that! Here's another interesting ithihaasic anecdote: My old neighbour (RIP) was a WW2 veteran. He loved gardening and had an allotment to grow vegetables. In those old days 70s/80s you'd occasionally get a scrap metal collector who'd come with a cart and horse to collect unwanted scrap metal. They used to have a bell and shout some weird stuff that sounded like like 'any ole umber!" Anyway, he told me that what people used to do is grab a bucket and shovel after they had passed by to collect any tutti to fertilise their gardens.

This case seems to be pending since 2020. It gives you an idea of what's planned or already implemented. https://www.businessanthropology.net/post/what-is-case-no-19-cv-2407-cab-ahg-and-why-should-you-be-concerned

One should realise that no matter what race or religion that a politician is, a politician is just a politician. We should not expect that just because they are the same skin colour as us that it would do us any favours.

All this buddha dal and Tarna dal being made in earlier part of 18th century is false. Baba Buddha ji were the first commander of Buddha Dal.

1. Yes and that has been accelerated massively since 1984. We need to emphasise who our Panj Piare were and where they were from. The minute 100% of so-called Punjabi Sikhs realise the ancestry of our Panj Piare from as far afield as Bidar (Karnataka), Dwarka (Gujarat), Jagan Nath Puri (Orissa), Hastinapur (Uttar Pradesh) and Sialkot then stratification within the Qaum would cease upon reflection of the above. Shaheed Bhai Jiwan Singh Ji were the bravest of the brave to our Qaum and yet the Hindu's and Muslims decried our Sikh Qaum de Heereh as merely a "Bihari Chuhra". Bhai Sangat Singh Ji led the entire Khalsa Fauj at Dhan Dhan Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj's behest despite the Muslims scoffing that the Sikhs were being led by merely a "Chamar" as the Muslims perceived them. 2. A plurality of the Sikh Qaum that exists today are converts from the years 1881-1941 thanks in large part to the parchaar by Lahore Singh Sabha and the great GurSikh (Giani Ditt Singh Ji) who was hated and despised by the Muslims for simply being a "Chamar" according to them. 3. Yes there is no room for disunity and biraderi in the Panth. Without only one single united casteless jathebandi-free Gurdwara in each and every pind in Punjab (and each locality in the West) then by 2031 Sikhs are likely to be a minority in east Punjab (where Sikhs are already a minority in Doaba) and Diaspora populations (with the exception of Canada) will face oblivion in the face of increasing assimilation if we Sikhs do not start to unite right here right now. 4. Yes Congress directed RAW to destroy the Sikh Panth from within and we see that quite clearly in the systematic state funded proliferation of competing Gurdwara's and Dera's and the imposition by Delhi of caste enumerated birth certificates in Punjab since 1981 in order to divide Sikhs and create votebanks. In Doaba in particular, between 1951 to 1981 we see an increasing trend for those whose parents were called Singh and Kaur that benefits would only be allocated by the State should the same name their children with surnames like Kumar, Kumari, Ram or Devi. Similarly, at the other end of the scale with communities unwilling to leave the Sikh faith a conscious efforts was made to only give passports and birth certificates to those who would state a surname (despite that being an insult to the entire ethos of Sikhi). 5. 100% agree with you and it is beyond disgusting. However, the Bhangra industry is dominated by a Muslim Jatt record label (Moviebox) which pushed this wretched trend the most and the Punjabi film industry is similarly financially dominated by non-Sikhs who are quite clearly encouraged by RAW to push the false narrative that the term Sikh means Jatt despite most Jatts being Muslims and 85% of Jatts being non-Sikhs. The fact that 21% of the east Punjab population are from a Jatt ancestry background clearly exposes the state-sponsored promotion of this "entertainment industry" baqwaas. There is no logical rhyme nor reason for the Punjabi entertainment industry which is financially dominated and controlled by non-Sikhs to segmentalise their appeal to a 21% demographic deliberately in such a systematic way as they have done since Indira Gandhi returned to power in 1980. The realisation by RAW was that if the plurality of Sikhs (with those of Jatt background comprising 40% of Sikhs in east Punjab) can be sidetracked away from the Anandpur Sahib resolution agenda by the flagrant promotion of caste, alcohol, drugs, sexual promiscuity, guns, crime, etc then the Sikh Panth in general would have a destroyed generation of youth via mental enslavement. This was exposed recently with the smooth transition of Sidhu Loozerwala straight from paid pimp for the anti-Sikh and non-Sikh controlled Punjabi entertainment industry straight to Congress candidate for the Vidhan Sabha. 6. Agreed, Badal should not have access to an iota of SGPC funds for fighting elections but which should be strictly allocated solely for sewa and parchaar for the very poorest in society in both Punjab and throughout India. 7. This apartheid phenomena has destroyed the Sikh Panth from inside out over the last 40years. The damage it has also exaggerated in terms of matrimonial apartheid is incalculable. Whilst apartheid finally ended in 1991 in South Africa there is no justification whatsoever for apartheid among the Sikh Sangat. Initally when Zail Sin and Sanjay Gandhi cooked up the term DDT in 1977 he also ordered all Ramgharia Gurdwara's in the Diaspora to insist upon memberships being restricted only to those who have both parents from a Tarkhan background as he realised that Divide and Rule tactics had served the racist British Empire well. Thereafter Zail Sin replicated the same idea to the newly created Ravidas Bhawans such that non-Chamars are not able to obtain membership. Ironically the Bhat Sikh Sangats which laid the foundation stone for Sikhi in the UK in 1930's, had never really restricted memberships until Zail Sin started to heavily propagate the idea of destroying the Sikh Qaum by setting up competing apartheid-minded Gurdwara's but finally they succumbed to this disease too. Finally in the 2000's we have seen the creation of Khatri-centric and Rajput-centric Gurdwareh primarily in North America. Either we unite competing apartheid Diaspora Sangats into one local Gurdwara for all to be led by Panj Piare from all backgrounds or we will only have ourselves to blame for increasing intermarriage and demographic problems that will show their ugly face by the end of 2030. We have a very limited window to take action. Either apartheid or Sikhi will win in this fight to the death. As the proliferation of the apartheid concept has had a direct correlation with increasing drug addiction in Punjab over the last 40 years. 8. With ever smaller apartheid-based Dera's corruption is rampant and state-funded and supported by RAW in order to keep Sikhs weak in Punjab so that Sikhi cannot "infect" (as those who oppose Sikhi perceive it) the billion or so gareeb loki outside (outside Punjab) in India who could massively benefit from the sharan of the Sikh Panth. 9. The joke is on us if we internalize RAW's subliminal messaging that Sikhs are an inherently inferior and backwards Qaum by getting us to reject our own village heritage and ditch our connection with the Punjabi language as the Pakistani Punjabi's and urban Hindu Punjabi's have increasingly done since 1947. It is only those from the pinds of east Punjab who are keeping Punjabi alive and strong alongside people like Pandit Rao originally from Karnataka.

Yes but they believe that latter and former coincide. It's not a substitute for Sikhi it's just our closest match in modern christianity in a few regards.

They're the second most prepped sect in christianity, and if we started Parchar now, might be able to ally. Mormons are more prepped but we have very little alliance chance there and they're too unmistakably racist.

What about if they wear a pagh?

no Jesus created the orthodox school which also included gnostic teachings , catholicism was a created 'church-like' structure to mask the roman empire and protestant of luther was trying to go back towards orthodoxy . forget about protestant of church of England it was purely an exercise in haumai of henry the eighth. and today there are many many jathey of christrians calvinists, lutherians, baptists, seventh day, jehovah's witness etc etc

I heard there were lots of conflicts and racial tensions in that region a few generations back. A lot of the old timers (who would have passed away by now) had to fight and be fierce against racism?

1. I agree with your sentiments but feel they need to be considered with recent historical context. Certain people have jettisoned egalitarian Sikh principles in droves. Recently we've discovered that many of them are only recent converts to Sikhi too, especially in Majha and Doaba. Gurdwaras have traditionally been the means for the panth to uplift and develop itself. If certain people fuse their deeply rooed tribal nature on this scenario, we have what we've been seeing for decades now. A haughty, contemptuous hegemony on gurdwaras and their associated funds whichis used along tribal/caste lines which totally neglects others in the panth. I've been interacting with apnay groups fro a few decades now (all the way from uni) and believe you me, casteism from certain quarters is now more virulent than ever before. You can see it reflected unabashed in 'Panjabi' movies and music industry. I think targeting those quarters to start pushing a more inclusive and progressive message is a better idea with a better chance of impact. Otherwise, certain people will only continue to absorb panthic funds for their own narrow groups. Given this, unfortunately, right now, I can only think that having those separated gurdwaras at least allows a chance of spreading funds/resources more evenly across the panth. But even that is not straightforward because corruption seems to exist wherever such funds are concentrated. 2. I'm from a pendu background myself, I think it's important to be able to laugh at yourself. Ironically, thinking back, where I lived, the 'pendu, pendu' talk started by an african jut family, who I later found out were from a pend not far from my ancestral one! I think we do have a problem with provincial thinking, confronting this important, because it's an obstacle to development.

Is he highly spiritual? If so he may have cursed you... Get ready for a bodi my friend..

I've had to do it for a time. It's really difficult if you don't have the right space for a clothes line, and a good way to wring the clothes out, but otherwise I'm a big fan.

1, 100% agree with you. The first thing we need to do in the West is ensure that we have only one United casteless and jathebandi-free Gurdwara per locality in the West. Once we have that building block in place then we need to push the same agenda in Punjab aggressively ensuring it comes to fruition within the next 5 years or certainly before the 2031 Punjab census when Sikhs are projected to be a minority. Additionally we need a don't ask, don't tell and don't mention policy when it comes to referring to caste stratifications in order to eliminate matrimonial apartheid that is lessening significantly over time but needs to be eradicated completely within this decade in order for Sikhs to unite. 2. 100% agree with you on that but I edited the one word as turning that term (to describe all villagers) into a pejorative was a trick of Indira Gandhi and RAW from 1984. So as we even see today Hindu's are a majority in the towns and cities of east Punjab. Only in the villages of rural Punjab (only in Malwa and Majha) are Sikhs a majority. So in order to get Sikhs to hate themselves and ditch the Punjabi language the RAW subliminal messaging since 1984 was that folks from the village and people who speak Punjabi are uneducated and backwards and thus all Sikhs (aka pendu's to RAW) are to be despised. So I would like to request if we can perhaps all replace the terms you used and substitute if for a more direct term like anti-Sikh. Thank you

I don't see how Sunak would be good for us. Like, at all. Any reason he would be that I'm missing? Desi-fied Brits fundamentally misunderstand (or are ignorant of) the British class system, and how apne who enter elite circles consider those of their same ethnic background who didn't make it to be invisible. This is even more pronounced in a group like Sikhs, and is another manifestation of the problem I identified of us having an identity that is gradually degrading.

Someone who doesn't downvote some of my posts in the same topic in order to throw the suspicion on me. Probably one of our anonymous, highly intelligent and educated Redditors. ?

Who is the pr1ck who is downvoting everyone?

So far the other posters for the most part have given you crap advice. I think you have understood the consequences of your actions. That is first and foremost the most important thing. You have acknowledged your mistake. The next step is that you have to start over. Take it one step at a time. It seems that the medication has messed about with your dopamine and seratonin levels. You will need to get the right kind of medical advice because if these drugs are impacting you then they are not doing you any good. The next step is to get the right kind of counselling and therapy to get to the underlying causes.

I hear you bro. At the same time, you know what we don't know? What secrets she brought to the table. It has to be awkward marrying someone you haven't known long. I mean I'd probably lead with my ugly traits too and see how they land, but I get why Veer Ji didn't lead with that himself. Regardless of opening up later, I think it proper he be supported. Anand Karaj is like easy on easy off? Or it's committed?

I think that's bollox. If someone started a relationship with me based on hiding the truth - I'd subsequently suspect their agenda. If YOU had a daughter this happened to, you'd be in your rights to start head kicking over it.

she is right that he should have been honest from the outset , I've seen girls getting married to guys who they thought were normal but were actually raging alcoholics or druggies and their folks thought because of Bollywood movies that marriage and responsibility would somehow fix it up . It is a crime to do that either way around, there have been guys who thought they were getting married to nice girls but found out they were sluts or alkies/druggies . Nobody has any business taking on more than they can handle and that was the only fault of this guy after the omission of truth /lie about his health. Was this girl at fault Yes because she should have tried to work it out before abandoning him but we do not know what her folks and his folks said or did to her to make her make that choice.

Yeah, white privilege doesn't exist. And those 'effniks' from working class backgrounds getting into uni has nothing to do with them studying harder or having better cognitive skills that enable them to pass exams that the average working class white guy wouldn't even bother with.....

Here is a message from a white guy: In the west, being a minority gives you special status that allows you to more easily gain university places, jobs and chat <banned word filter activated> about others without recourse. Minorities are privileged in the west. In the east, they truly oppress their minorities. Whine less, you have it good

I do feel I need it - given the rampant misinformation out there. What you just pointed at might seem like a legitimate source to you, but that is comical to me. So you have no contemporary or near contemporary source outside of this very recent online 'article'. Now we may well find a contemporary or near contemporary source if we hunted, but the fact that you point at what you did, like it had some unquestionable veracity says a lot (and what it says ain't good). If it is true, it would (sadly) conform to what I've experienced with our people anyway, especially the 'rural' lot. I'd just like people to be more conscious and critical of their sources.

Just thinking, are we not to judge people or talk ish about them? So this whole thread and my replies included are against Gurbani? Or am am I just talking ish ?

this is so racist

Journalism died a very long time ago. Now it's just sponsored corporate or state propaganda. Yes, without a doubt. I've always believed we, as Sikhs, are in a unfortunately unique position whereby the racist Right are as much a threat to us as the apparently cordial-but-not-really Left. Neither have our interests at heart, yet Sikhs gravitate towards to the harmless liberal side because of the belief that their doctrine aligns with aspects of our forgiving and tolerant teachings, which they do in some ways but not in the ways they'd like to believe.
