Lool same observations but they gotta do their business right? Are they different to anyone else. 'Jatts do same but they stray away from Sikhs. Afghanis dont. Every Afghani Sikh store i go to play paath /kirtan. Its good tho. Go to Sul they playing quran. So at least Afghanis are proud of their faith roots. Jealous at their wives though. No need to work worry about bills the Men take care of them.. treat them like queens

They are get that $$ quick to built what they have. They literally save Southall Hounslow etc. Gurudwara are filled with them Samagans etc. I love their unity them helping each other. They kept their identity. 'Jatt Sikhs' knife each other Im jealous at their wives they lifestyle they have. Don't have to work taken care off lol I always wandered tho how they were making a living with selling phones covers in those tiny stores lol... Gujjis are no better too. Most get $$ however they want at start then move elsewhere. Afghani Sikhs built a strong community

No wander when get the opportunity punjabis who live in those areas will move to gora areas. Happening in Canada US Punjabi populated areas ...they move to rural white areas chance they get... Southall has become interesting though. I like the new developments happening. I mean i give credit to Afghani Sikh community for what they have done they saved Southall ow Punjabis Sikhs 70 80 90s move out Gurudwaras would have been empty. Credit goes to Afghani Sikhs ..

Hit the nail on the head again. This is how apne are decorating their houses nowadays, ugly AF in my opinion, Southall has many such properties and they're becoming more common in Slough as well. Another problem is that the roads get full of parked cars because there are so many adults living in one house, sometimes 6! Richings Park is majority apne now, I think it's mostly rich people from Southall. A lot have destroyed character properties into monstrosities like above. But overall it's still a very nice area.

Compare the speech of, say Maskeen ji, or other polished kathakars to the average Punjabi on the street. That's what I mean. It's a matter of fully enunciating words, using fewer contractions, using elevated vocabulary, not swearing, and polished diction. If you do that, most Punjabis will think you're not authentically Punjabi!

My observations is that there is two types of Muslims when it comes to migration patterns. There is the clannish side, so if one family moves to an area, then one of their cousins and relatives want to move there as well. Our people have a level of autonomy in that we like to have a degree of boundary from our relatives. We are not keen to necessarily live close to each other. The clan Muslims want to live close to each other as much as living on the same street or a couple of doors away from each other. Our people do not have this level of co-dependancy that clan Muslims have. Our close-nitted Ness is not the same as their close nitted Ness. Then you have the other type of Muslim, they are the more religious penguin and hijabi types. They seem to be more religious, maybe higher up the social ladder and they live in more far flung areas where you would find other communities. They seem to avoid the clan muslims. I suspect that there are groups of muslims that want to keep away from other muslims. You must note that since there are a lot of cab drivers of this community, they keep a note of where our people are moving to. They manage to afford these houses by obtaining mortgages via non conventional routes. They have been using brokers for decades and a lot of times their mortgage providers are not institutions you have ever heard of. Our people are typically straightforward on these things, if you want to find an alternative way of doing things or some loop holes, these people are experts. I suspect the reason why you have seen more of them moving jnto your area is that around covid time, you had the stamp duty holiday in purchasing properties. The 3 years you have mentioned seem to co-incide during that time.. My personal opinion is that schooling is a big factor for our people moving but they are caught up with their parent's belligerent non budging out of an area. There are areas that have gone past their sell by date for our people.

Yeah. Totally. I mean, to the average lurker on this board, it usually just seems like "Oh, there's Dally complaining again about some random 'landlord' who dissed him 10 years ago." And yet this excerpt from Panth Prakash vindicates a lot of what you have been saying: Sikhs have small minds. They would rather fight about the dividing line of their 5 acres of land and the neighbor's 5 acres rather than getting a few square miles elsewhere. It also portrays the fact that the Sikhs are stupid and they don't do what Guru ji wants. And they refuse to accept the blessings Guru ji wants to bestow.
