The most disgusting thing about this incident is how little value is placed on our people's safety and rights the British Government insist on keeping seperte stats on Hindu, Muslim and jewish hate crimes but refuse contrary to legally defined racism that antisikh hate crimes should not be counted or analysed . The truth is there has been 162% increase in antisikh hate crimes in the Uk since Brexit . The other disgusting things is they only gave the attacker THREE years so out in 15months

Its quite common for these groups to marry racist whites. Didn't you see that racist mexican lady abusing those 3 Indian women and saying why are you coming to America? And guess who she was married to?

I've never been LA (or the US, and don't think I'd be allowed in in any case). But it wouldn't surprise me. Answer please honestly, without all the flag ar5e licking brainwashing.

He probably thinks he is white. This behavior is more common than you may think. Its just that now they don't want to risk loosing their jobs. I have seen some native americans bootlicking whites and badmouthing other Pocs!

He is new to Sikhi, evident from answers given during interviews where he needs to call on more Gurbani quotes to refute questions on taking Amrit and avastha of a new abhikali like with the recent one on Pro Punjab TV. Time will tell where his allegiances lie, for now I have only seen positives and sing his praises, in all his talks he is pushing youth to take Amrit, stop drugs, stand in unity, fight for rights be it waters, language, independence, facing deep state and so on. Recognition that without Guru Sahib on side all else is bound to fail.

I would not recommend it. Specially when they find out you come from western countries. My nephews had a bad experience because people there would tease and hate them for being USA citizens.

His lies were instrumental in starting an unnecessary war that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. What good is there to say about that kind of person?

Go and build more mosques for them.

They're mostly from the West Pakistan region as they were escaping the clutches of the Muslims on the night of 14th August 1947. Hence why most speak Punjabi and not Kashmiri.

Are Kashmir Valley Sikhs ethnic Kashmiris or Sikhs from the Jammy area?

Fair play to him. I hope he does well in his role. I suppose it's too much to ask that he doesn't perform as a 100% establishment stooge, but we are talking about a successful NRI Sikh guy, lol.

He succumbed to the tired trope of wanting to be a "brand". Basically, walking one-man corporations that can milk their name until well after they've stopped fighting. The actual pugilistic art of fighting seemed to be second. Fans also want a connection with these types of figures; hearing an off-the-cuff remark or two; someone who says something a little politically incorrect to show they think very little of the current culture for so-called proper discourse. Fury has elements of that.

I didn't say anything wrong and everyone knows what I'm saying is the truth. Probably downvoted by the same people I'm talking about or some dil saaf types.

Yea i think the second one is more likely and the media just distorts the news to fit the majority of people's ideologies. That said, there are a lot of crazy conspiracy theories that make little to no sense. Lots of psuedoinformation is being spread by these people... Not everything is as it seems - but that doesn't mean everything is false lol

USA voter fraud is just claims made by the Party that lose the elections. According to a 9/11 documentary two men had taken out insurance, in billions, a day or two b4 the attacks. Tupac never faked his own death he really died (just incase anyone's wondering). Other conspiracy theories that I find fascinating is Men In Black and Jesse Ventura's Conspiracy theories on YouTube.

I would think that humans are the highest form of life so while there may be aliens, they would be less advanced. ਲਖ ਚਉਰਾਸੀਹ ਭ੍ਰਮਤਿਆ ਦੁਲਭ ਜਨਮੁ ਪਾਇਓਇ ॥ Through 8.4 million incarnations you have wandered, to obtain this rare and precious human life.

The Loyal Siddhas vs The Treacherous Siddhas? I don't know, I think they might be playing us. They might be utterly evil, but they're also monumentally intelligent in a worldly sense at least. This is their planet. Can't be bothered with this nonsense anymore, lol.

Today was the Shaheedi day of Shaheed Bhai Avtar Singh Bhrama, 22 July 1988. Bhai Sahib famously shot down a Indian Government helicopter. Avtar Singh was born in 1951 and joined the Bidhi Chand Dal of Nihangs in 1966 where he learnt the art of Shastar Vidhya as well as Sikh philosophy from the ancient Nihang order. His fame first grew from a wager within the group of Nihangs. After reading about a Frenchman who could ride a horse at full gallop and spear a target in the ground with a lance, Avtar Singh boasted that he could do it whilst riding on two horses - standing up. The Nihangs, not believing this to be possible took Avtar Singh up on the wager and were left astounded when he managed the feat.Avtar Singh was under the tutorship of Baba Daya Singh, a close companion of Sant Jarnail Singh Khalsa Bhindranwale. By 1982, Sikhs had launched the Dharam Yudh Morcha against the Indian government (more below) and Avtar Singh Brahma travelled to Amritsar to join Sant Bhindranwale in defence of Harimander Sahib. Bhindranwale however told Avtar Singh he would be of greater value continuing the fight instead of sacrificing his life within the complex. Bhindranwale mentioned that a few months down the line, Avtar Singh would be approached by a number of Singhs but until then to return to his village.Following the desecration of Harimander Sahib, 37 Gurdwaras across Panjab and the Sikh Genocide in Delhi, Avtar Singh was approached by a group of Singhs who mentioned the time had arrived to lead a resistance. Although Sikhs had not been fighting for an independent Sikh nation, the desecration of their spiritual home for the second time in 30 years by the Indian Army meant that freedom was now a stated goal, formalised at a gathering of over a million Sikhs at the 1986 Sarbat Khalsa. The Sikhs arranged themselves similar to their fight with the Mughals 250 years previously, separating themselves into Misls.Avtar Singh joined the Khalistan Liberation Force, rising to be its leader following the death of Arur Singh. The Sikhs under Avtar Singh waged war against Indian government, defeating imperial soldiers at the Battle of Baler and the Battle of Manakpur. It was at the Battle of Mand that Avtar Singh's fame spread beyond his own Misl by becoming the first Sikh to shoot down a helicopter. Avtar Singh was one of the first Sikh leaders to notice the danger posed by 'Black Cat Commandos'. These were undercover government agents that would dress as Sikhs and terrorise the local populace to turn them against the resistance. Bhai Avtar Singh was finally killed in a skirmish with government forces on 22 July 1988, leaving the Panjab in a state of quasi independece. For the first time in 140 years, Sikhs were in control of large areas of Panjab.

If you read about the jeevan of these shaheeds then they used to read bani for hours and hours. We often remember them for just the warrior aspect but they did a lot of bhagti too.

Don't be scared of anything, when Maharaj is with you nothing evil can come anywhere near you. Before you sleep do Kirtan Sohila (or listen to it) and you won't feel scared.

Well not by my own will, but my grandad put a spoon of brandy in my mouth when I was about 5 or 6 years old. I hated it and would never drink it ever again in my life.

Yeah there is a part where you can speak to Vaheguru Ji, Its when you say Sache Pita Vaheguru Ji Aap de Hazur...(whatever you want to say) At that time you can say what prayer you just did too. Although you don't really need to because Vaheguru Ji knows everyone's inner thoughts anyway. This is probably the worst explanation ever but hoped it helped

Yeah same but I don't think it classes as red I've never actually heard that before.. Interesting lol

It may be a leftover thing from Banda Singh Bahadur's time. Bhangu (in Panth Prakash) states that Banda Singh made some changes that some other Singhs objected to as deviating from dasmesh pita's established ordinances or traditions. One was changing the colour of the Khalsa uniform from blue to red. ?????

I think its because historically, Muslims/mughals adopted the colour green but the important colour for Hindu's is Red. I'm pretty sure the British wore red as well. However Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj selected the colour Blue. This had practical reasons too since in battle if a Singh was injured the blood would just look like sweat (Thats what I was told from a Katha) so therefore would be less targeted. I don't know much about this but this is just my guess. Bhull Chuk Maaf

Should Sikhs boycott Muslims shops? I sometimes in the past have bought from muslim owned stores. but it got me thinking. should we boycott these shops? I know there is a big shisha craze at the moment were our own people are going places smoking shisha.

I would also feel offended if some b1tch asked me if I would like to go smoking. Shisha smoking or any other type of smoking is detrimental to your health. Poeple who do sh1t like that are just causing themselves all kinds of health issues. I was shocked to find our own people are going to these places also. utter disgrace.

Yep there is a fair amount of muslim a$$ lickers on this forum. That somehow try and make a correlations between Sikhs who suffered during the 84 riots and muslim calls for a separate state in India. a$$hole people like that have no brain. Muslims want to convert all of India to islam. Then we get b1tches that try and sympahise with these scum terrorists as they think we have a mutual enemy India. Pure a$$hole dumb a$$ess.

Yep . Its one of the worst sins tobacco. I actually went to shisha bar once mistakenly. I was with a group who said they wanted to check the place out. It was in west london. I was with 4 sikh girls can you believe it and I was the lone male. I immediately told them what the heck were they thinking dragging me to shisha place. Nevertheless I got them all out of that place and did not stay there. It was full of drugged up suleh and dirty tobacco smell. To be fair two of the girls did not want to go but were led on by the other 2 who were a bit loopy.

All clueless jananis and Sikh male pajamay should boycott them shops because they are too weak and witless to know the score. But other more 'intel' inclined and less pajamafied apnay should be right in there, just to make sure it isn't a contact point for groomers.

No, Vaping is still bad for you. At the end of the day, smoke is smoke and its not meant to go near your lungs. Also vaping is a nasty habit too that is hard to get out of.

Can we vape?

And after that, Maharaaj set fire to the tabacco field. No Sikh should ever smoke, even go near it. Just a thing to note, Maharaaj told us not to go near tabacco when people were saying it is so good. Now look science progressed and it turns Maharaj is right (of course he is and we shouldn't doubt him) since it causes so much damage to the lungs.

VJKK VJKF Beant kirpa.... VJKK VJKF

I think ur right. But its important to distinguish between pyaar and moh. When its moh, theres always the mine in it. I love you because ur my son. I think panjabi parents are always using moh. Their love is conditional and they r trying to mold u into wat they want. And they want to posess u and keep u. While love is more, just appreciating and enjoying someones presence. For the time you have with them without conditions. When Sahibzada Jujhar Singh wanted to go fight in battle. No punjabi parent wouldve let them go. Even if the child wanted to. Even if not fighting wouldve let the child be captured. So real love is looking beyond their relationship.to you.. Even my little brother asked, did Guruji really like his sons. After watching the 3D sahibzade movie. Because in it they show guru ji as a picture with a frozen face all.throughout the movie. And i had to show him the part in the movie which shows guruji hugging the sahibzade. (With the same frozen expression tho.) But u just have to look at how the gurus family was treated. They lived in splendor and were treated reverentially. At this most sikhs would say that Guruji did "love" them and if there was no shaheedi that guruji indulged and spoiled them.see but when time came for hardship, allowing is family to undergo hardship.is not love. Tho i think it is. As it allows them to choose and be leaders and participate in a challenge. I think this debate of whether the gurus felt pain and emotion is complicated. They did but they knew there was something higher and better. And we can know this too and conquer pain. Ofc theres parchaariks who say that Bhai mati daas ji being cut into pieces didnt feel anything because he could leave his body and was a brahmgiani. But i think.its because the parchaarik thinks the pain is unbearable. That if it was felt, no way could it be borne. That just shows his limit.

They were superhuman no doubt, but their life was about enveloping each us in that Paramatma's unyielding love and understanding , to put balm of naam on our hurting souls , help us to see the world with their eyes , giving the courage of meeting the state of things as they stand and confronting the wrongs and bringing blance and freedom to those trapped ...

That was exactly my response. I just think younger generations and even some of the people of my age bracket who haven't been exposed to that uniquely stoic yet even-handed brand of Sikh spirituality find it difficult to wrap their heads around certain apparently paradoxical concepts and remarkable individuals in our history, especially for those of our people who've been raised on a steady diet of Hollywood-ised emotional indulgence. There's a blurring between fiction and reality AND a further step beyond of the blurring between the former and our particular ways and history, which seems to make some of our own almost incredulous at what they're being asked to digest. But, as I said, the "superhero mythologising" by our parchaaraks and other people with a voice in the panth, is not helping matters at all. There's ways of inspiring awe and reverence by emphasising the divinity of Sikh personalities without utterly killing any human angle of personal interest. Without wishing to offend anyone, third-worlders might be impressed and cowed by such descriptions of untouchable brilliance, but for slightly more sophisticated and deep thinking westerners who want to FEEL a genuine connection, these types of potential believers are being done a huge disservice, and actually it's causing people to switch off and turn away, especially when they're initially told certain things to get them through the "turnstiles" that Sikhi is unlike the other faiths.

truth is Guru ji did feel the loss but as he illustrated when walking through the battlefield and Bhai Daya Singh (I think) offered to cover Vadde Sahibzahidey 's faces with cloth Guru ji replied that he would want to cover all his children's faces , in other words every Singh was a beloved child and all their deaths were intensely felt , however he did not love his blood related sons more . Guruji loved all his children and tried to emphasise this intensity to all and sundry . Khalsa Mahima is an ode to this love . Mata ji could see what was going to happen and asked leave of Guru ji , they all felt but they were not overwhelmed by their emotions they kept steady like the well designed keel will slice through turbulent waters . That is the sign of a leader - lead by example .

I'll be sure to forward all future enquiries to you.

I'm being asked questions by younger -- and some not so young -- Sikhs who aren't necessarily religious or even theists (yet they possess a fairly decent comprehension of the Punjabi language and therefore can contextualise what's being said on the Gurdwara stage on the few occasions they attend) but due to cultural and familial connections have a desire to connect with their heritage and generally get to the heart of a few issues without undergoing the parchaar sales pitch. I'll be honest, some of the questions they pose are the kind of things white people would ask about our religion around 20-25 years ago. They aren't being mean or devious but they are completely lacking any form of sugar-coating one would expect of our so-called co-religionists. At times it's a culture shock for me. Anyone else would get triggered and take it as an affront, but one can usually judge the intentions of someone who isn't taking the peshaab but merely acting out of ignorance and curiosity. One example of what I was posed by someone last December during the shaheedi / Sahibzaade remembrance events: a young man in his 20's said to me he felt an immense guilt trip being inflicted on Sikhs when almost all parchaar centred on this particular period is simultaneously designed to remind us that Guru Govind Singh Ji felt no pain or sadness at the death of his sons -- because divine incarnations are above such base emotions -- yet the sangat is expected to be practically in mourning at the loss of the Sahibzaade; recent years have seen opening weeping and similar hitherto unseen behaviour in the darbaar itself. Anyway, his question was, "If their father didn't feel any form of sadness or regret at the loss of his offspring, then why am I being induced into physical acts of mourning designed to make me a loyal follower? What does it matter to me if the father showed no emotion?" Can you believe such a question could originate from one of our supposed own? What do the contemporary jathe leadership and assorted babeh of the quom have in response to such questions? Is it clear how we're shooting ourselves in the foot?

I'm glad it happened then. Juts are as greedy as hell too. They'll take over Gurdwaras and use them like cash machines, excluding all nonjuts from the profiteering (actually they might throw in a token nonjut chumcha to try and throw people off the scent). I mean look at the SGPC for example. So you're only complaining about another community doing exactly what juts have done forever. Juts of Panjab always vote for the Badal family which is about as corrupt as you can get. Juts love drinking more than any other brown community and the whole kunjar bhangra culture that keeps us looking like drunk barn-dancers emanates from them and has spread to other jaats. So the 'cultural and lifestyle' of many juts aren't any better then anyone else. Actually more worse than many in a lot of cases.

I spoke to Hari Singh Randhawawale and they told me that they didn't limit themselves from learning from anyone, and that they themselves learned Ayurvedic medicine from various pandits over the years. So people high up at DDT don't seem to have any problem with learning from nonSikhs. Now, if we are running an educational institute it's common sense that we utilise the best teachers around. Sometimes (very often actually) these people aren't of the same religion/race as us. Okay, if we talking Sikh theology , we'd want a Sikh teacher but for other stuff, like say Farsi (say for a better understanding of the Persian Sikh texts), we might well be better off with a nonSikh teacher. Same with say maths. I noticed that a lot of black people these days prefer 'Indian' maths and science teachers for giving their kids tuition in these subjects because they have a good reputation. That's how it works.

Three of my cousins/nephew (mama's grandson/granddaughters) went to baru sahib - when they came back in their home after couple of months..they cut their kesh, broke their amrit- start doing fashion other kalyugi stuff etc..moral of this event being- sikhi is pyaar da marg and its life chaging expereince, its not preached by force or thaga/hath or super imposed, while hath is needed to keep one foundation strong at the beginning to discipline rehat etc...i believe they over do it instead of keep balance..it ended up having adverse effect on the kids...its law of nature- you cannot repress/suppress individual for a long one day they revolt back ugly. I was searching youtube for islam and stuff , came across with muslim kuriya with hijab/niqab dancing moojra shamelessly in the video with their islamic dress, from their point of view- they are just being natural which is quite expected after all they didn't choose islam but it was super impose on them by parents and by mullahs...we should seriously start avoiding muslim type shariaism on kids..we can see their failure..its quite evident, its good to learn from your mistakes, but its even wiser to learn from other people mistakes.....we need to do carefully- need to strike a right balance -cannot go totally right or left on kids..otherwise they will revolt back ugly..!!!
