  1. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-62824913 Peppa Pig: First same-sex couple for children's show By Sam Hancock BBC News Published 3 hours ago Share IMAGE SOURCE, CHANNEL 5 Image caption, Penny Polar Bear (C) introduced her mothers to the show on Tuesday Loved by pre-school audiences in the UK, US, Australia and Latin America, Peppa Pig is arguably one of the most recognisable - and popular - cartoon animals in the world. It is perhaps no wonder, then, that the programme's decision to introduce its first same-sex couple has made waves. During an episode titled Families, which first aired on Tuesday on Channel 5 in the UK, where Peppa Pig is made, the eponymous character was introduced to friend Penny Polar Bear's mothers. While drawing a portrait of her family, Penny explained: "I live with my mummy and my other mummy. One mummy is a doctor and one mummy cooks spaghetti." The programme, created by British animators Mark Baker and Neville Astley, has been running since 2004. This is the first time in its 18-year history a same-sex couple has been featured.

  2. https://www.desiblitz.com/content/sikh-charity-workers-attacked-whilst-helping-homeless Sikh Charity Workers Attacked whilst Helping Homeless Shocking video footage shows members of a Sikh charity being attacked whilst they were out helping the homeless. September 6, 2022 By DHIREN MANGA A video circulated on social media, showing members of a Sikh charity being attacked whilst out helping the homeless. The charity involved was the Midland Langar Seva Society (MLSS) and it is believed that the incident happened at one of their feed sites in West Bromwich. MLSS frequently goes out and provides hot food and drink to those living on the street, schools, safe houses and those on the poverty line. But a video showed some volunteers being attacked by another group, believed to be a family. It appeared as though there was an altercation between one family member and another man who may have been an MLSS volunteer but did not have a high-visibility vest on like the other volunteers....

  7. Funniest thing is how they love to be associated with arabs and Turks while those groups literally despise Pakistanis. And there are alot of apne too who do similar things on reddit and claim how they look persian Arab or south European. So pathetic.

  8. I agree but children can be pacified in other ways.

  9. People who try to address the issue always receive massive backlash from our community. Simiran Kaur Dhadli's song promoting modesty and Sikh values was great but she was shunned by other Sikhs/Panjabis. No one in the future will dare to make similar songs if they know the response can ruin their career.

  10. Parenting is tough. Especially when you cant slap a kid (like these days, and I'm not saying this should be done - I had more than my fair share!) So people just pacify the kids with an ipad. It's like a modern day dummy, but with a lot of potential for unforeseeable, insidious side-effects.

  11. The influence of these songs can be limited on younger generations by not normalising it in the house (e.g. not playing it in the car). I've noticed young kids are given access to phones bigger than their hands and parents give iPads to toddlers to make them stop crying (they often play songs on these and hand it to them). This has been normalised in the west and starting to show up in Panjab too.

  12. We should have some sort of movement where we boycott this music and support clean lyrics/videos as a community. Don't think it will catch on since many of our people consume this music and singers use fake views to get into trending pages. These Panjabi singers indirectly pay females to dance/make reels on their songs so they get popular.

  13. I should get this down so people know: When the original 'bhangra band gigs' started in the UK, people would pack them out. Plus you know how apnay will drink. So a fortune was made all around. By venues (for hire and enormous bar sales) and by people who were known in those days as 'promoters' through ticket sales. Very quickly other communities twigged on to this. And then you had a bunch of sullay promoters doing this making a killing off our lot too. They'd hire our own lot to sell tickets. People in Canada/US need to be aware of this. Looks like it's happening already judging by recent posts on the thread. Also, later, some of the labels that put out artists were owned by guess who.... The other thing is, if we manage to make the bhangra-disease disappear, we have to have a alternative for people in the vacuum that will follow.

  14. I'm not comfortable with the mixing of western elements with Panjabi music (e.g. hip-hop dancers in the background). The song title is just weird. I guess the real essence of Panjabi music is long gone, now it's just cars, exotic locations, skimpy clothing, hip-hop dancers, Gucci and the most obvious, fake views. Panjabi singers these days also have an obsession of collaborating with black artists/western rappers and normalise things like smoking in videos.

  15. We never have amritdhari Sikhs pushing for this, we just have these people who 200 hundred years ago would not have been considered Sikhs pushing for this. It also seems like these people only care about this LGBT stuff when it comes to Sikh issues, whenever there is beadbi or anything actually important they remain silent. Think I saw one of the trans blokes doing tobacco and weed and this stuff and then justifying it in the name of mental health, like yeah mate mental health is important, but you gotta stay in the line of Sikhi, they do all this kurehits and then find excuses, bro these excuses aren't gonna work when the dharamraj is gonna ask you about smoking and stuff.

  16. i kinda agree its just laziness and also some kind of exploitation at play since most of these people cannot find work so they agree to work for very little money and then people exploit these people as they are just so many people willing to do any work just to fill their stomach in that country so the people know thy can be easily replaced. Its the duty of an individual to pay them good but seeing the morals and greed of people back home we all know that is not going to happen. But some old members of my family cannot cook and clean back home so they keep these helpers and pay them good and also give them many essential items all the time. Thats why minimum wage and the concept of unions is so important as people can band together to demand more benefits.

  17. Our family back home also keeps people for cooking and cleaning but they pay them well, give them clothes and food all the time and even their kid sometime study in the free schools near gurudwaras atleast that was the case for our workers. I mean most of them are uneducated so i dont know what else can they do? They are nepalis as well. I dont see anything wrong with it as long as the people are paid well and it can ensure a normal upbringing for their kids? But i have heard of cases where people mistreat them, keep young kids and do bad things to their workers which i believe cannot happen in the west since there are strict laws in place but back home if you are poor and die no one cares. The problem with india is too much inequality. If you are poor your life is worth nothing. There is just too many people so the value of each life just diminishes.

  18. Just encourages laziness in my opinion. If you have able bodied people in your family, why avoid what are essentially everyday human chores.

  19. The idea of someone coming to clean my house and cook my meals is really weird to me. Ideally we'd be more conscious of who exactly we are eating from.

  20. I popped this on "Signs of paap" group but was it in front of SGGS? Third pic down looks like Maharaaj to me or maybe Sainchii at best? Also looks like it was done at home... Maybe am right. Maybe in Gurudwara, in front of SGGS, Gay weddings will not happen for many many many many years yet. Everything else is Mann chaturai (get a Sainchii, just do Laava in front of Sainchiis etc).

  31. Most Sikhs don't imbue the turban with religious meaning... even some of the ones who actually wear one! The turban existed as a head covering for Punjabi males prior to 1699. It's culture, not religion. The phenomena we're seeing in modern times is the turban being used as a means to "shape-shift" between various groups.
