Are you saying there were a lot of Sikhs in Mirpur area pre-partition? Or do you mean more in the region near Rawalpindi, which I have heard Sikhs had a bad time there ?

Where did you see this person from Lahore? They might be Punjabi but they speak Urdu with their children usually I thought Mirpuris were too uneducated to be speaking Urdu? I find they are closer to most Punjabi Sikhs in terms of build (and even facial appearance of many of their males) than the Lahori types

All foods we eat are processed unfortunately. I think there are supposed to be a lot of unhealthy chemicals including steroids put into dairy so that might be cause of high cholesterol from dairy. In Japanese culture, they have very little dairy intake (but get protein from fish) and have lowest rates of osteoporosis in the world, compared to western Europe which has highest dairy intake but also highest rates of osteoporosis. So it seems that other aspects of lifestyle are also very important

I did not know that. I assume they were mainly in places like South-west London, east London, and Manchester?

Having listened to some katha over time, I understand that we should all try to do the 5 Bani in morning, and Rehraas in evening and Kirtan Sohila before sleep. All the Bani have to some extent (but not exclusively), their own purpose/meaning for why we should do them I understand Chaupai Sahib helps with 'protection' throughout the day; that Anand Sahib helps for peace of mind; Kirtan Sohila is for protection overnight and for protection when we die. Can anyone summarise more about why we should do the other Bani, and what we would lack in our lives if we missed any of the individual Bani in our routine?

With all these 'Asian' grooming gangs, the majority as we know are Pakistani origin. If this is broken down further, I understand they are overwhelmingly of 'Mirpuri' or 'Kashmiri Pakistani' or north Punjabi origin (areas near Jhelum, Rawalpindi, Gujrat). I understand these populations of Pakistani British are the ones who have older communities in the UK especially in areas like Birmingham, Luton, Lancashire and Yorkshire Is it true to say that most of the remainder of British Pakistanis (especially first generation immigrants) from other places in Punjab like Lahore, Sialkot as well as Pashtuns and Muhajirs are generally better educated and less involved in illegal activities ? This has been my experience in the UK. If I am wrong, please can those who have better knowledge and lived amongst Pakistanis more than me, elaborate

Yes, interesting news. But you must live in India as most people in West are Not religious and many would call themselves atheist or agnostic. Also, to be a singer, actor or dancer (definitely more so in the West compared to South Asia) you are more likely to be non-religious especially in the U.K.

Maybe he is good, maybe not.

Why not ask this question before buying? Personally, I would not keep such a plant

Does anyone have a contact email or telephone for Bhai Sahib? I am not on facebook, thanks

Where is this?

How did you learn all this?

Need Baba ji's number, please PM if you have it, thanks

Not good news. How will Gurdwaras take payment in future? I prefer to use cash where possible https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-45483637 More than 250 free-to-use cash machines are disappearing a month as operators shut unprofitable ones, the network co-ordinator Link has said. There are 53,000 free machines in the UK - but the number is shrinking at a record rate as people use less cash.......... Link's ATM Footprint Report found that between the end of January and the start of July 2018, the number of free-to-use ATMs fell from 54,500 to 53,200.

Are you trying to make us 'blend in' with the rest of the world?

racism is present in all countries. In the UK it is minimal compared with most.

Bumping this thread as looking for books to read - in paper not soft form

Would be a good idea

Don't worry, Khalsa will rise when the time comes. Islam and Christianity might boast numbers but their quality is not high. Why does Sikhism need to be spread by sword? We only take weapons when it is right/just. If we spread by the sword, we would have a lot of poor quality adherents.

well done

Done

New Prime Minister of Pakistan. What does this mean for Pakistan? India? And will it have any direct/indirect impact for Sikhs?
