Sikhistan

With headline like 'radicals' clearly shows their true intent. Is Sikhs for Justice radical? I thought India only consider turban amritdhari sikh as radicals but I guess they changed their definition and now includes liberal Sikhs as radicals too. India journalism is too weird. It is not like these authors/writers are writing this up on their own.. Most probably higher level editor forcing lower writers to write something against Sikhs and Sikhism in order to keep safe their jobs.

I agree with MS. Sikhs for justice did amazing job and they are brilliant people. India media which is not independent from government control will always post and create sensation biased news. They have the worst ethics and poorly trained journalist. India is a third world country and anything that comes from there (news,law,election) represent and proves that it belongs in that 3rd world category and will take another 100 year to come up. Western media are sane enough not to cover or even comment on news that comes out of India. India can play dirty game and damage our outlook but little they know that this only will encourage young generation to take up journalism battle against them and beat them. Only sad part is that 30+ years ago, sant jarnail Singh jee said, "eh Sadi badkismat ya, jehri Sadi sooch, khabar, biyaan akhbar walay nahi panday." And still today we still don't have major media player that airs our side of the story. I can only hope that someone with proper skills and mad wealth to come up with something that makes the world to listen us (including billion people from India).

Third last one is Amrita pritam. Yes Tagore was Bengali so yeh he didn't know any punjabi.

2nd last one is rabinder nath Tagore?

Thank you very much ! I was bit worried about food but I think we can work that out. Thanks for the taxi ripoff tips.

Anyone been to Italy ? I am thinking of taking a week long vacation to see old Rome. I can get regular reviews from google but a review from sikh is more helpful.

Missionaries are bull crap.. Kick them out !!

recently taken after ghagga came out of jail Dhunda, panthpreet and ghagga

I strongly recommend my fellow Sikh members to stop donating to people who visit abroad. Ragi jathas are fine but put stop on giving daswandh to someone whom u don't know. Stop giving to all this girahi business as none is among any difference in Punjab. In India situation is worse than masand times.

Beware of this guy who is the exact replica of dhunda. Look at their catchy stage name ' panthpreet'

We never used ghee but sometime do put printing paper for quick burning. Last time we put a dhoof stick inside the grill. Everyone does with their own choice/style as long as we show pure respect from within our soul/mind I know a friend of mine burns punjabi newspaper and kesh in his fireplace often.

- all bath has similar vase for kesh - once all r full then we do agan bhaet in this container.

I have Bose system: http://www.bose.com/controller?url=/shop_online/digital_music_systems/sounddock_systems/sounddock10/index.jsp Best purchase ever. Plays music Bluetooth which will be ur Mac, phones etc and you can also use this with ur tv. Very heavy though. If u prefer small and portable then look at other Bose products. They are simply the best !!

There is a possibility that agents work openly in such disguise in order to get intel inputs.

^^ Veerji, they are already doing that (i believe that somewhere in BC they did amrit sanchar without Bania that are from DG).

For the past few years, i am going to punjab for 4 to 6 weeks and i learnt a lot and experienced both positive and negative of the society. Grew up in city myself but used to spend every summer holidays in our pind. Recently i started visiting my pind very often and started doing sikhi based programs in order to keep villagers away from *peer voodoo* stuff that was rising at alarming rate in this particular pind. So now i think i fairly had first hand experience with our rural sikh folks. Having lived some of my time in city where i did most of my middle schooling, so i am pretty much aware of city folks lifestyle. Two different world ! What i am trying to say is that there is a HUGE difference between rural sikh folks and city sikh folks. There is also HUGE discrimination issue between them. There is no unity between them and to me it seems like they are scared of each other. I rather side with rural folks when it comes to religious stuff but i think this is probably the biggest issue that our kaum ignored or keep ignoring. What do you guys think of this? did you felt the same way?

They are missionary naastic type anyway...

He got what he needed for amritsar. He did good for past few weeks to stand up against his party BJP and badal company.

Aj111, Do you believe that Sikhs suffered any type of discrimination under Indian government? Were you or your group/family ever been a victim? Movement derailed after 90's by our own men. Once started by our most respected religious leader and now in hands of phobia type freeloader leaders.

NAPA is naastic organization and a two man show. They have no backing nor any presence in California but always find a prominent space in news, which to me is bit fishy. Manmohan Singh is probably the most clean and educated person out of India's political circle but when it comes to his personal responsibility for Sikh kaum, I have to rate him 0%.

Let them fight !! we should relax and watch them. Two ppl (majithia and sidhu) fighting for their name in majha area. they will fight till the end.

Before sant ji left this world in 1984, he clearly gave a thrashing anti-sikh account of akali dal and its leaders. Listen to his audio and you will be amazed that same rubbish anti-sikh politics happening in akali that were going on 30 years ago.

I think Virasat-e-khalsa is the best thing that punjab government ever did. I understand your point about punjabi culture but i do not totally reject our old punjabi culture. We do have young ones who hate the culture part for various reasons... maybe it is something that some of us cannot understand as they were never part of that lifestyle. I think our focus should be on prachar which should not require buildings or other mega projects. We waste our time in planning/building stuff while ignoring the most important part of the project "Prachar". Visit pind by pind and do prachar, live the life of nomad and take shelter in already exiting networks of thousands of gurdwraas in punjab.

Personally i think Manjit Singh GK is probably the best person to run DGMC. Only drawback is the party he represent in Delhi and no party is true/ok in india and in conclusion he cannot truly represent Sikhs of India. Thanks to SFJ for great job they are doing but I also think SFJ should not release such emotional PR. Diplomacy is the only way for such organization to stay up and above than other rogue so-called sikh organizations.
