The Sikh Nation never forgets it's shaheeds and it's hero's. Today, it is fitting that we remember those who avenged the attack on the heart of Sikhi and assassinated the sitting Prime Minister. All due respect.

Thanks. I agree.

Where is this quote from? So he wasn't a Sikh afterall?

Thank you S4NGH. Further to this, another chap from Huddersfield has just appeared on a video with Deepa from Sikh Youth UK and confirmed the same. He was a mona who always socialised with Muslims significantly older than him and then took on Sikhi saroop in around 2012/2013, when the investigations began.

Just to be clear. Was he always a Sikh but took Amrit?

Based on what? I'd find it rather odd that he'd take on a surname like dhaliwal unless he was a mona beforehand. Converts either use Singh or Khalsa as a surname, generally speaking.

Ok. Yes, how ironic! When this was first discussed on this forum last year, one of the members on here, from Huddersfield, mentioned that he was amritdhari as well.

Where did you get this quote from?

I'm sorry to read about your loss. I hope you have the appropriate support at this moment in time to enable you to continue on your journey, as we are all on our own journey. Condolences once again.

That's a shame

As China expands towards Central Asia and beyond, the Chinese economy and specifically, Chinese manufacturing stands to benefit greatly, at the expense of the other regional power (if you can call it that) - India. The last thing the Chinese want is for India to get a piece of the action, especially with lower labour costs that are a hallmark of the Indian economy. China wants to spread her tentacles into relatively untapped markets in Central Asia. The geopolitical dynamics these two regional beasts have created have ensured that neither one will act in the interests of the other.

He's being sarcastic, clearly a comedian.

Hahaha.... As you are well aware, for us in West London, East London is a million miles away in all aspects of the phrase...!

Lol.. Looks like Southall..

It's a fantastic exhibition and will take several hours or maybe several visits to fully appreciate! Highly recommended.

What a terrible loss of life by a deranged cult that is hellbent on taking Afghanistan from the 10th century where it currently presides to the 3rd century. This act of terrorism must be responded to with a force equal in magnitude, be it diplomatically or militarily. The latter won't happen for obvious reasons. Intervention from the UN to ensure Afghanistan maintains it's convention for freedom to practise religion is upheld or else sanctions. Those Afghan Sikhs that wish to remain and look after Sikh institutions should be supported in doing so. However, those Sikhs that wish to leave then Germany and the UK should take the lead. Germany took 1 million Syrian refugees in 2015 and Canada has taken several thousands too. In particular, both Hamburg and London have precedence in resettling Afghan Sikhs and now have sizeable populations of the aforementioned community, as have Rotterdam/Amsterdam. This may not be the right time to say this, but I feel it never is, so I'll say it anyway. Some of the London Afghan Sikh community have themselves failed their fellow Afghan Sikhs. Bearing in mind it was only post-1991 with the rise of the Taliban that Afghan Sikhs sought resettlement abroad.The Afghan Sikhs have amassed significant wealth in a short period of time, working cash in hand as taxi drivers or owning small businesses. The women in this community engage in ostentatious displays of gold jewellery and don't appear to be engaged in employment themselves. They have played the system with obtaining council houses as well. I live in West London and I can tell you that many of them frequent Isleworth Crown Court because of some sort of scam (i.e VAT or another tax evasion) or another involving the local authority or stealing mobile phones or a similar activity. So what I hear you ask? My question is, how much of their "hard earned" cash have the Afghan Sikhs sent back home to help their fellow brothers and sisters? I suspect not so much. They're more concerned with buying more gold, flashy mobile phones, expensive cars, dining in restaurants. No doubt I'll get the usual hate for saying that, but a quick look around West London will confirm my views, which concern the Afghan Sikhs residing in London, not the Sikhs residing in Afghanistan itself. Everyone should support the plight of the Afghan Sikhs in their struggle for freedom to practise their faith without fear or persecution - and the Afghan Sikhs residing in London should lead by example.

I assume that applies to Sikhs who've (directly or indirectly) killed and oppressed Sikhs as well..?

Knocking eachothers turbans off in Gurdwara's, pretending to be "hard".

Arur Singh, Simranjit Singh Mann's nana ji.

I had no idea that such a tradition existed (matrilineal). Are there many other tribes which practice such a tradition? I can only assume that they must be isolated and haven't integrated into mainstream society - something that the Khasi probably view as a strength. Not only do the Khasi women definitely wear the trousers in that relationship, it would appear that the men wear skirts.

Kidda Jagsaw, Nice to see you back. How's the doctoral thesis coming along? Just a quick note. The Sikh Pioneer regiments recruited exclusively from the very communities (and others) that you mention. They fought all over the world and were the only Sikh regiment to be awarded "royal" battalion status for services rendered in WW1, in particular, the Western Front. The rest of your post is an eye opener, and once again, I learnt something I didn't know before.

Where is your source?

Given that the overwhelming majority of jatts are muslim or hindu, that means that hindus and muslims are khalsa? Oh the manuisation of sikhs from jatt origin........ ........I'm going to enjoy this. Bring it on.

On a scale of 1-10, exactly how thick are you?
