  4. @dallysingh101 BBC Website: Sikhs in Wolverhampton gather to mourn Queen in special ceremony About 200 people gathered for prayers and to share their memories at a Sikh temple following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Prayers lasted for two days at Guru Teg Bahadur Gurdwara in Wolverhampton. The Sikh holy scripture was recited in a special ceremony over the weekend and a langar meal was shared. The Gurdwara said it was reflecting on the Queen's achievements, her role as head of the Church of England and her respect for other religions. Image caption, About 200 people gathered in Wolverhampton, which has one of the largest Sikh populations in the West Midlands The chair of the trust in the Gurdwara, Surjit Singh Uppal, said the Sikh community was grieving. "I believe the Sikh community in this country are part of the family of the nation," he said. "We are grieving for her, same as the rest of the country, and this is the message we would like to tell the British people that we are part of you." Gurdeep Singh Aulakh, from the Gurdwara, said the Queen was "deeply" devoted. "Being head of [the] Church of England was not an easy task for somebody who needs to balance the other faiths," he said. "All I can say is obviously from myself, from family, congregation, friends, we really want to send the heartfelt condolence to the Royal Family."

  7. You can't really measure someone's sense of religious sincerity based on how they look. Even baptism isn't entirely an accurate indication of someone's inner state. Grown men aren't going to start lopping off hair and removing turbans because they don't measure up to some arbitrarily defined guidelines on what a "good" Sikh should be. If anything, this is an issue that's come to bite us in the behind, i.e. incessantly emphasising the transient and material external as an indicator of the transcendent internal. Spirituality sophisticated cultures and civilisations don't promote this low-level thinking. Pendu cultures do.

  8. The point of "Sikh studies" is not to push the Sikh point of view. (Black studies or women studies do push those points of view). The point of "Sikh studies" is to denigrate the Sikhs and their Gurus. It's to "explain" Guru Nanak ji as some kind of weird itinerant preacher who got the idea from random Sadhus and Muslim peers, and was not divine -- WH McLeod. Any "Sikh" who allies with "Sikh studies" is a useful <banned word filter activated>, a sell-out prostitute, a coward, evil, or all four.

  10. In Punjab everyone is trying to outdo the other in terms of show off and money. "Doesn't matter if I go bankrupt, how dare this person have a more expensive wedding than me. Now people will think I am poor and look down upon me."Same reason they feel jealousy from their own friends and relatives. What a sad society.

  15. India Has Violated Its Obligations To UN On Peasant Rights By Gurdhyan Singh 15th March 2021 When the offices of the UN Secretary General, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and the UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights to Freedom of Peaceful Assembly and Association supported the Indian peasants’ right of peaceful protest and assembly, they were reminding the Indian government of its general human rights obligations under the UN treaties that India has ratified and voluntarily undertaken to enforce at the national level. These top UN diplomats were cognisant of India’s response to the largely peaceful and unprecedented peasant protests in the form of disproportionate and impermissible law and order measures. Such measures are tantamount to criminalising the current peasant protests and are prohibited by the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Peasants and Other People Working in Rural Areas (the UNDROP). It took more than seventeen years of campaign by the La Via Campesina, a global network campaign of peasants and rural workers organisations, to reach the milestone of the UNDROP’s adoption by the UN General Assembly on December 17, 2018. At this time, the Indian government has committed to follow the UNDROP which it not only voted for but actually proactively co-sponsored and campaigned for at the UN General Assembly. The UNDROP brought peasant rights within the ambit of human rights and aimed to strengthen intergovernmental coordination and transnational agrarian solidarity. It is the first ever international law instrument that grants human rights to the majority rural population of global society and provides guidance to the governments on guaranteeing these rights. The UNDROP provides a framework for countries and the international community to strengthen the protection of the human rights of peasants and other rural people and to improve their living conditions. The UNDROP’s fundamental premise is that the peasant and rural workers constitute 80% of the world’s population and are often victims of human rights violations and suffer from poverty. Peasant and rural landless workers, especially women, do not have equal control over land and other natural resources, or access to education and justice. It recognises the dignity of the world’s rural populations, their contributions to global food production, and their ‘special relationship’ to the land, water and nature, as well as their vulnerabilities to evictions, hazardous working conditions and political repression. The UNDROP is a blueprint for potential national legislation dealing with the rights of peasants and rural workers. Although currently it is technically non-binding in a strict sense, it uses the term “shall” implying legal obligations of the countries and is an honour code that all UN members have agreed to uphold and incorporate in their national policy framework. Until it becomes a treaty with its own independent enforcement mechanism, the UN has deferred the UNDROP’s monitoring and instead asked all countries including India to include the UNDROP implementation measures in their periodic reports to the other UN human rights mechanisms. Importantly, the UNDROP prohibits criminalisation of peasants and rural workers protests and calls upon all countries including India to ensure that it shall not subject them to arbitrary arrest, detention, torture or other cruel, inhuman and degrading treatments when they exercise their right to freedom of expression and assembly. It also recognises the peasants and rural workers’ right to life, security of persons, freedom of movement, thought, opinion and expression, as well as association. Despite India’s commitment at the UN not to criminalise any peasant struggle, the government introduced drastic measures in response to current protests such as interrupting access to water and electricity, limiting access to protest sites, barricading and fortifying protest sites, deploying paramilitary forces, disrupting internet services, registering criminal cases, arbitrarily detaining, torturing, and inflicting custodial and sexual violence against the protest leaders, protesters, supporters, and journalists. From the beginning, the government acquiesced to the ruling party’s political propaganda apparatus that has engaged in a systematic vilification and dehumanisation campaign about the protests. It failed to publicly condemn all off and online attacks, and the use of hateful and misogynistic language against those connected with the protest. The UNDROP requires India to ensure the primacy of peasants’ rights specified in the UNDROP over all international agreements, including those regulating trade, investments and intellectual property rights. For that purpose, it further mandates India to take legislative, administrative measures with full consultation of its rural populations. The government in drafting three farm laws has not made good faith efforts to facilitate the peasants’ right to actively participate in the legislative process. The UNDROP states that India is obliged to take measures to favour peasants selling their products in markets and allow their families to attain an adequate standard of living. The measures enshrined in the three farm laws including the government’s unwillingness to give statutory power to the Minimum Support Price (MSP), adversely affecting the peasants fair access to the market and adequate standard of living, thereby breaching its commitment to the UNDROP. Without any philosophical or ideological shift at government level or its explicit reservation to the implementation of the UNDROP, India’s volte facereveals its apparent intent to not comply with the UNDROP’s key provisions. The Indian governmental leadership understands the gravity of the situation about the agrarian crisis and protests, and understands its obligations to the peasants, yet it is making a strategic decision that dispute resolution and conflict prevention efforts are not worth the political costs. A very simple understanding of the holistic configuration of the current protest dynamics indicates various imminent warning signs for the protests spiraling into a larger unmanageable crisis, with devastating consequences for peasants, rural workers, police and armed forces, their families, and the whole social fabric. Even now, a staggering number of protesters continue to die. The government’s continuous failure to resolve the farm bill dispute, may result in one or more different scenarios, such as aggressive law enforcement actions or incidents of random and scattered violence or even a prolonged low-intensity rural armed conflict, with unimaginable human and material loss. The protest has gradually reached a monumental juncture nationally beyond the strategic encampments at various entry points to New Delhi, with increasing global support. It is slowly starting to receive attention from the UN human rights processes. On February 11, 2021, the La Via Campesina representative spoke at a high-level special event of The UN Committee on World Food Security and said that “thousands of farmers in India are on the streets for over [the past] 75 days demanding a fair support price for their harvest. They are worried because of the entry of big agribusinesses and contract farming models that will push down their incomes further and they will have no chance to bargain.” Michelle Bachelet, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, in her oral updates on the global human rights situation in more than 50 countries at the 46th session opening of the UN Human Rights Council, provided much needed and belated impetus to protests when she highlighted that “continued protests by hundreds of thousands of farmers [in India] highlight the importance of ensuring laws and policies are based on meaningful consultations with those concerned. I trust that ongoing dialogue efforts by both sides will lead to an equitable solution to this crisis that respects the rights of all. Charges of sedition against journalists and activists for reporting or commenting on the protests, and attempts to curb freedom of expression on social media, are disturbing departures from essential human rights principles…” Given the global attention the protest is receiving, it is likely that peasants and rural workers globally may observe the forthcoming International Day of Peasant’s Struggle on April 17, 2021, in support of the Indian protests. This day commemorates the massacre of the peasants and landless workers by armed forces in 1996 in Brazil while protesting for comprehensive agrarian reform. If the government had been more transparent nationally during the drafting of the three farm bills, upheld its commitments under the UNDROP, and discharged its ethical responsibility and legal obligations to diligently implement them, it could have averted this crisis that continues to bring immense pain, suffering, and trauma to all, and that also has inflamed a toxic socio-political culture of intolerance.

  17. People keep claiming this to make some sort of point or get clout, but the truth is that this is still under research. Had the Sikh Reference Library not been stolen and the SGPC not be corrupt and sign off papers that say they received puratan saroops back from GOI even though they didn't, we would have an answer to this Mahalla 10 question. Though, current research points to it not being Mahalla 10, as older saroops that the panth has available do not have this.

  25. Above is all coming from puratan granth-Gur Shabad Sidhi (Shardha Puran Granth) (Bhai Mani Singh Ji) punjabi -faith building granth used in puratan samparda's where certain shabads are given for bhagti help, health improvement, spiritual/social/religious issues/hindrances social-religious/spiritual/economic prosperity.. approach is also bit like kids beginning like approach as kids have strong faith in anything, when parent want its kid to jaap of vahiguroo, usually greed (lalach) is given in return- baba farid when he was small he was given greed by his parents if he does jaap of vahiguroo, he would get gur(shakar ganz) equilavent to candy every day from vahiguroo, so in this way one is slowly attached with gurbani, once its attached with gurbani one feel naturally de-attached from world if one is receptive enough as one point gurbani mantra/pauri draw seeker in. I agree its bit of slippery slope but why worry? Everything is in hakum, Gurbani knows best how to draw people in when where and how when once one started do its jaap with receptivity full faith without egoic self coming in a way everything happens , traditionally in gurbani we have bhagat dhru who did bhagti for raaj initially and then got saved later on when jaap drawed him in fully and also baba farid sakhi doing jaap of vahiguroo for candy when he was kid.

  28. kpanthmovement 2.Kam, thats ridiculous has anyone got images of the original Birs, why would anyone want to change it? Please take a look at Paiara Singh Padams Darbari Ratan for an image. Otherwise 3 greanths in the british libraray. Bhai Mani Singh ji and Baba Deep Singh Ji's Birs at Hazoor Sahib and Patna Sahib. Old Puratan Bir at Anandpur Sahib As well. There were many otheres however they were burnt in 1984 at Amritsar. Please also listen to the katha for more on these Birs. There is also a puratan bir in Leicester with the Salok Mahalla 10 in it as well. If you still think i am being ridiculous i suggest you listen to the katha of Mahapursh and research the birs yourself!! The Sinh Sabha movement made alot of mistakes and this was the biggest!!!! For further please read Guru Granth Sahib Steek Part 10 by Sant Amir Singh Ji or the Salok Mahalla 9 Katha by Sant Gurbachan SIngh Ji, Sant Kartar Singh Ji and Sant Jarnail Singh Ji. Max Aurthur Maucliffe also states that the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji had a salok of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji when he researched it.

  29. Bhai Mani Singh Ji Shaheeds Bir of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji has the salok under the title of Patshahi Dasvin and Baba Deep SIngh Ji's bir has the salok under mahalla 10. All the puratan birs have the salok under Guru Gobind Singh Ji's name as explained in the sanpardai stteks and sants katha. Good old SGPC again changing things to suit whatever they wish. If the recensions done by the hazoori sikhs states either mahalla 10 of Patshahi 10 then it should have been kept like that!

  30. When Guru Gobind Singh Ji reached Nanded, a fatal attack was made on his life by the two Afghans sent by the 'nawab' of Sirhand (Punjab). He recovered in due course of time, under the surgical treatment of British doctor, but later the wound revived on his pulling the string of bow and the end came near. The True Guru, on being asked to take surgical treatment, refused it. He then wore arms on his sacred body and mounted his horse. Before his soul got merged into the supreame soul, Guru Gobind Singh Ji , the embodiment of high spirit gave some instrustions to the gursikhs, who were present there at that time. Baba Ram Koer Ji, teh great grandson of Baba Buddha Ji wrote down those teachings. As for number 45; Beacuse marriage is so sacred, we must not allow money and wealth to play a role in marraige because it lowers its sacredness. You can not fully understand these 52 commandments by simply reading the titles, you must read in depth, i recommend the book by Balwinder Singh ISBN 81-7205-324-x

  31. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ke Fateh Saui Sakhi's are there but not as authentic as SGGS Mahraj where it clearly mentions::: "Satguru mera sadaa sada naah awaee nah jaai awoo abnaasi purkh haae sabh mahe rahea smahee" apologies for spelling mistakes, it's clear Guru sahib will not take human form ever again, Khalsa is perfect and as long as SGGS is with the Khalsa and Khalsa has the ultimate faith they can achieve anything as Khalsa did rule after Guru Sahiban period.That's a proven fact.If they were to come back then what they did in the first place by creating khalsa was wrong how can that be? Problem we have in our community is we go more on hearsay and not focus on Gurabni, we could be waiting in vain for generations but never realize the powers that be want that exactly for us to wait and wait and as we wait we do nothing else then slowly as we wait out faith is gone and so is the ultimate spirit to do anything. Khalsa Raj is inevtiable and will happen as Maharaaj has mentioned, when and how , where no one knows. Instead of waiting for Guru Gobind Singh jee, at the present moment the challange focus for sikhs worldwide is to raise the profile of Sikhe, when you meet a gora in workplace on anywhere introduce sikhe to them that is the goal of every Pag wearing sikh at present, as most goras/non goras perceive us as muslims.
