@S1ngh, really?

No links allowed now? I can understand putting people into QC, but why make long-time contributors with no problems have to face approvals process for posts?

And not being able to post Gurbani is extremely disconcerting. I mean, if we're not centered on Gurbani, we're just blabbing our own ignorant thoughts.

Working on it singh ji. We don't want it either. 

I rather like this world to end if folks are okk with things like above. 
Whoever author is, he/she needs a good chittar.

A man has been charged after a Sikh priest was attacked in the middle of a Manchester city centre road and left with life-changing injuries.

The 62-year-old victim remains in hospital after he was "left for dead" on Tib Street in June.

Claudio Campos, 28, of Ladybarn Lane, Manchester, has been charged with assault.

He has been remanded in custody and will appear at Manchester Magistrates Court later.

Sadly how the media only care to put '3 lines' in this articles. No attempt to know the profile of the victim, interview with family members, family story, reaction of other sikh members (friends/relatives/community members) and then adding bit about sikhs contribution to the society in general.. Had this been a rabbi, you would be seeing folks taking up to all kind of diplomatic talks. 

Sad news when anyone pass away. MisterrSingh is right, Media corporate going to have a good field trip and fight among for the ratings. 

I really don't understand that need of so much mass migration of Punjabis into canada for the past few years. I have never seen such mass migration towards America before. Before that it was Australia but not Canada is beating everyone.

Bad part is that it is in the name of Sant ji and this shooting happend and that gives enough material for india media to spin it off for their advantage. Already happened Kabbadi and cricket match shooting. Wild West

This guy is creating division in Punjab. Yes, we do have problem with some stupids who believe in the caste system but again which community does not have such issues in India. 

The purpose of this guy is to divide Sikh community. Jathedar of Sri Akal Takht Sahib, Giani Harpreet Singh is from non-jatt background (as per brahmins untouchable) but again Sikh community respects him and gave the biggest seat of our religion. Same with bibi jagir (scum) giving her keys of SGPS many times; she is lubana. 
 

The point is that irregardless of situation, Sikhs are way much better than other communities in India. It is making progress but however, in such case, there is some other hand in the back. Which is simple to divide and rule by Modi !

They had Weight lifting competition and thats where it happens. 

Now they trying to say, gurdwara is not involved. 

Putin cronies wants people to live lavish but under their rule (possibly giving cut to them). Its all propaganda that Russia is known for decades. they even managed to brainwashed our folks back in 70/80's. We still see those decade old comrade effect today; mostly in journalism/Education fields.

You should do the aggan bhaet and then purchase a new gutka sahib. 

This is a very sad news. Of what I hear from few different folks, He was a very nice person despite of what media portray him. 

Wearing jewelry is not encouraged in our kaum. We have a lifestyle of saint and soldier. What is the purpose of wearing jewelry ? Saying it brings health benefits is same as saying earth is flat.  

@dallysingh101Do you know the person who tried to get this graphic novel? What was their funding amount they were looking for? Its 5 years old but it would be interesting to know if maybe sikhsangat can fund such things.

Further information:

 

Now you probably did follow up further details of the above news. Security forces killed many terrorist and one of security person died as well. One Sikh killed in this attack. Attack was the reply to the racist and anti-national Party spokesperson. They are terrorist and the India Hindu person like Radharamn Das has nothing to loose as it was Sikh Gurdwara they attacked.

....So, the concern about dwindling number of Sikhs is well founded. However, the people marrying outside of our faith are probably not religious to begin with. So, what is the loss? ....

 

First, It is all in the hukam of Sri Akal Purakh sahib. Sikhs are never afraid of the numbers (there were days, where we were left just in thousands). Have we been focused on numbers, whole world would be amritdhari by now. So, that is not enough reason to allow multi-religious wedding where other faith teaching such as kafir ideology, my god is superior of all etc.. 

Second, if they are not sikh religious then why not get married in a church or court house? What tomorrow, you are going to raise the point that we are small in numbers and we may offend someone, so why not we simple remove the rule of covering head in hazzori of guru sahib. Where it will end? 

Harmonium is not what our guru sahib jee used. However, i have no quarrel whether to use it to not as long as focus is 100% being devoted to Gurbani. 

In Sikh culture, salwar kameez and kurta pajama is also not our culture either. Not many ppl are aware of this.

Children raised in the 70s and 80s. Canada in the early years prior to the flock of immigrants. I have no problem blending in with the majority. My peers gave me  complete respect for wearing a Distar/Dumala. Our pioneers came to the west but taught of that time that Sikhs are well behaved people. Women who need safety your can count on someone wear a Distar. For me I have had difficulties to be with my family and other Punjabis. Throughout my life I have always believed in Equality as per Guru Nanak Dev Jee. I left my past life behind but did not let go of my Distar. I went through rough times where I believed that God doesn't like me. So I shaved my beard but not my head. Why I did not shave my head because the true Lord has been with me. When my friend a white woman looked at my photo she was shocked. She said to me, "are not losing your identity." This brought me my clear picture. As we have been friends for few years. She now understood that what she thought about Sikhs is not true. She stated to me that there is a possibility that she might start wearing a distar and become a Khalsa. I think the biggest problem is with these unexperienced Orthodox Claiming to be huge worshippers of Wehaguru are not looking at themselves. We are all going to die the same way as others. We came to this world to make ourselves to be close to the truth Wehaguru.

I will apologize to those that do not agree with me.

I have never seen a problem in Canada with inter faith marriage. No you people Guru jee will guide them.

Singh ji, majority of us do have "one point in our life" the inferiority complex. Some people just don't get out of it. Sikhi is beyond the color of the skin or the demographics of east and west. Sikhi is the pure lifestyle where it requires stringent discipline. Bypassing those discipline then we are just sikhi in name only.

Interfaith marriages never work in practicality. Now if person is atheist and not religious then there is no issue and they do the court marriage. There are major differences in all religions and religious culture as well.

I know an interfaith couple,  and the English fella attends divans in the gurdwara and is keen to learn about sikhi .

 

It's more than I can say for the monas in my family who drink and don't ever go to the gurdwara,  but they were allowed to have Lavant becos they are supposedly 'sikh'

 

It's hypocrisy all over

Those Mona relatives of yours do not believe in any other dharam right?  They may not be perfect and have many fundamental flaws but at least they don’t believe other god is the only way for salvation or call others kafir or believe in millions of god/goddess etc.

It gives credence to the recent claim that it was the brainchild of CIA/USA following the India-Pakistan War when both the UK/USA sent warships to the Bay of Bengal to aid Pakistan. Russia came to India's aid in time. 

After that it was decided to avenge India by annexing Punjab. 

They always use subliminal messages in films to further their agenda. 

 

If above is true then do you really think that CIA/UK/USA failed against india in 80's ? super 3rd world country where having a tv in home during 80's with one channel broadcasting was considered delicacy thing to have in household.
