one thing my buddy said he noticed in punjab was in areas were sports were huge like kabardi drug use was really low. Gives guys something else to do in their free time.

we got to stop the drugs from comming into the punjab also educating kids on the dangers and the parants, alot of these guys are spoiled rotton ive seen it with my own eyes in india, parants don't give them work, their given loads of cash, no responsibility's, then they wonder why their kid is so into alchole and drugs and dropping out of school.

what are some solutions to fight this problem in punjab

Tackling drug menace in the Sikh state of Punjab. Addressing a panel discussion after the screening of Reema Anand's documentary on drug addiction "Punjab: The enemy within" at the Chandigarh Press Club, Dua pleaded for saving the energetic Punjabis from decay caused by drugs. Equating the syringes shown in the documentary to missiles that were destroying society, Dua said they were the symbols of death as over 50 per cent of the youth of Punjab had fallen prey to them. "In fact, liquor is the first step to addiction in Punjab," Anand told mediapersons after the screening of the documentary. Drugs were the slow poison that effected the entire family and society and grandparents and parents are today fighting this enemy within in Punjab, she said. The influx of the migratory labour had left the rural Punjabi youth with hardly any work. “With no work, they take to drugs and are ruining their lives,” she said. Even the NRI money being pumped into Punjab was responsible for the sorry state of affairs and goes a long way in pushing the youths to drugs, she added. Dr Jatinder Jain, DIG (Bathinda range), regretted that there was no national policy to tackle the drug menace. Criminal neglect on the part of the parents was the basic cause of the children taking to drugs, he claimed. Sharing Dr Jain's sentiments, Dr Deepinder Singh from Ludhiana, regretted that society seemed to have accepted the use of drugs. Awareness, prevention and treatment were essential parts of the any strategy to tackle the menace, he added. Prabhjot Singh, senior journalist, who moderated the discussion, said the connivance of the politicians and the police with the drug mafia had virtually led to the mushrooming of a parallel economy in the state and only a mass movement against drug addiction could save the present and future generations. Meanwhile, the documentary showed heart-rending scenes of the farmers consuming poppy husk and youngsters puncturing their veins with syringes. Premiered at Los Angeles in 2006, the documentary makes a mention of the rural population in Punjab, particularly in Malwa hooking onto "bhukki" (poppy husk) which had become the poor man's addiction and smack and heroin being used by the richer sections of society in urban areas. “Punjabis struggled hard to fight with Central Government in the past but now they are up against a enemy within,” the narrator said in the documentary underlining the nexus between politicians-police-drug mafia. http://www.sikhnet.com/sikhnet/news.nsf/Ne...725738C0067EC1E

can anyone explain the difference between congress and hindutva.

dude i don't want to get into a debate with you so could you do me a favour and step outside this forum, for me im looking for productive answers. PS. answer my questions on the other thread, whats your opinon on maharaja ranjit singh or udham singh would you call them sikhs? cause 98% of gursikhs out their i have met claim udham singh a great sikh freedom fighter and maharaja ranjit singh the greatest sikh leader siince the gurus time.

i believe paranting is one of the issues, boys being favoured over girls in many sikh households. Boys are spoiled have no work ethic girls are neglected

rss and congress have always hated eachother But i heard that amitabh did make comments that insulted sikhs.

what are some of the issues facing the sikh community and what fuel these issues and what are solutions, some problems i see is alchole use is always going up alot of girls don't carry much self respect for themselves drug use is going up in the west and punjab(in punjab it is said half the youth are drug users) domestic abuse the sex ratio and abortion rate in punjab boys spoiled girls neglected more and more sikh youth dropping out of school well in canada anyways more and more sikh youth lack any knowledge on sikhism and sikh history

why khalistan? My question to ppl in the west in country's like canada and england and please don't take offence to this is if you want khalistan so bad then why not go to india and fight for it, you got muslims and tamils fighting for what they beleive even christians but why not khalistanis? Secondly how would khlaistan survive economically especially when the sikh community basically has no proper leadership, drug addictions amongst youth is 50% in punjab. All this time and energy wasted for a lost cause called khalistani, all that energy could of bin used to get justice for 84 victims and bring the punjab police to justice.

could you post the website with statistics

but carribean complain the most about media bashing them.

could you please provide a link to the website, hopefully the <admin-profanity filter activated> gets hung.

agree

agree

this guys a <banned word filter activated> and knows nothing, he's bin ripped apart by christians and jews.

i don't think it was 237 sikhs vs 100 000 indian soilders not even close but the indian army did use tanks.

so were the shere punjab involved in the stabbing in the visaki parade as well singh or not singh the sikhs of the shere punjab i heard did great deal of seva for the sikhs in uk by standing up against extremists and racists to protect the community. If ppl judge them because they drink well what about maharaja ranjit singh who use to drink like crazy and he's the greatest sikh leader we had sence the time of the gurus.
