What benefit does she get from being vegetarian for nine days ?

Great to see you !

It's a lot to do with the old 'fuddy duddys' in the committees worrying about younger types getting influence ? The same younger types who understand better what will attract the youth to Gurdware/Sikhi For example, young kids would want to go Gurdwara more for 'fun' activities, like sports and martial arts, langar with 'fun' food, good storytelling. How are Muslims (e.g. Paks and Bengalis in the UK) so successful in making many of their kids learn Arabic and attend Mosque ?

Ravi Singh presents himself as the face of KA. And the name 'Khalsa Aid' implies it is a Sikh charity, but it does not seem that KA is putting Sikhs first. There are many other charities out there who are helping other communities/projects; KA's work in those settings are likely very small to the overall financial help those projects get. KA could instead make a relatively bigger difference for Sikh projects if they chose to. I don't know exactly who are the donors to KA, but many of my parents' generation see Ravi Singh as the 'face' and think instantly that this is a 'Sikh' charity putting Sikh needs first, but KA does not seem to be. Many 'liberal' Sikhs think the same way. I thought you were more 'conservative' from everything you have said about Monay etc ? I tell anyone I know, and would like us all to speak about it here. It would be better if other organisations like Your Sewa could get more publicity

Military seems very powerful https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/23/opinion/pakistan-politicians-military.html How Pakistan’s Politicians Help the Military Every time civilian politicians bend laws to accommodate the generals, they damage long-term prospects for democracy. Jan. 23, 2020 By Aqil Shah Mr. Shah is the author of “The Army and Democracy: Military Politics in Pakistan.” Since its foundation in 1947, Pakistan has spent more than three decades under military rule. Even when out of power, the military has exerted behind-the-scenes influence to maintain its firm grip on politics and national security. Establishing democratic institutions, including civilian control of the military, has thus been an arduous process riddled with uncertainty, backsliding and reversal.

Bump https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-48185246 Will Guyana soon be the richest country in the world? By Simon Maybin Assignment, BBC World Service Published 9 May 2019 South America's second poorest nation is bracing for an oil boom that could catapult it to the top of the continent's rich list - and beyond. But can Guyana avoid the so-called oil curse and ensure that its newfound riches benefit all Guyanese? "Many people still do not get how big this is," then-US Ambassador to Guyana Perry Holloway told a reception in the capital, Georgetown, last November. "Come 2025, GDP will go up by 300% to 1,000%. This is gigantic. You will be the richest country in the hemisphere and potentially the richest country in the world." It may sound far-fetched, but with a population of around 750,000, in per capita terms, Guyana's wealth is set to skyrocket. ExxonMobil, the main operator in Guyana, says it has discovered more than 5.5 billion barrels' worth of oil beneath the country's waters in the Atlantic Ocean. 'Oil curse' The money would certainly be welcome. This former British colony - the only English-speaking country in South America - has high rates of unemployment and poverty. But history carries a warning for Guyana. The discovery of big oil in other developing nations has exacerbated existing corruption, leading to the new oil wealth being squandered and stolen. It has become known as the oil curse.

As of now, she has a one-year visa. “We just need to go back to get the dog whenever the war gets over,” he said.

Sorry, found this perversely funny when I first saw it... @proactive - West Midlands Police again ! https://wardentimes.com/news/europe/i-was-visited-by-police-after-staff-at-a-diner-accused-me-of-slapping-my-son-ive-never-been-so-humiliated/ I was visited by police after staff at a diner accused me of slapping my son… I’ve never been so humiliated BYWARDENTIMES MARCH 28, 2022 3 MINUTE READ NO COMMENTS A DAD had told of his fury when he received a visit from police after staff at a diner accused him of slapping his son. Rupi Singh, 44, says he was left “totally humiliated” after workers at the Chance and Counters cafe in Birmingham alleged he had “smacked” nine-year-old Harman. Dad Rupi Singh was horrified after being accused of slapping his son Harman The Chance and Counters cafe in Birmingham have barred Rupi after the incident Credit: Chance & Counters The father and son had stopped off at the restaurant with four other relatives on March 19 after watching a footie match. But their pit stop soon became problematic when the youngster got upset at the table and an employee started grilling the group about it. Wholesaler Rupi, from Dudley, explained the staff member then accused him of striking his son in the busy diner – before a cluster of other workers insisted he left. The 44-year-old single dad now fears he has been labelled as a “child abuser” after the explosive confrontation in the cafe... He told The Sunday Mercury: “I was approached by a member of staff who said, ‘Are you the person who hit that child?’ “I was in shock, then three or four approached and asked me to leave. “I would never, ever lay a finger on my son. This has knocked me for 10 or 12, never mind six!” After being asked to leave in wake of the damning allegations, the dad admitted he let rip at staff before being ushered outside by his brother. “I feel victimised as a man with his son. I’m a single parent, I want to get out a bit more”, he said.... A spokesman for Chance and Counters said: “We are aware of the incident on Saturday, March 19, and we have conducted an internal investigation in addition to co-operating with the police enquiry. “A member of staff witnessed an interaction between, who we believe to be, Mr Singh and his son that made them incredibly uncomfortable. All forms of physical punishment have been made illegal under the Children’s Act in Wales, while Scotland introduced its own ban in November 2020. But in the UK it is considered to be unlawful, but not illegal if it constitutes “reasonable punishment”. West Midlands Police said: “We received a report from a member of the public that a child had been punched on the arm last Saturday, March 19. “We spoke to the nine-year-old who said they had not been hit. There were no signs of any injuries and, as such, no evidence of any crime taking place.”

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/murder-charg-harmandeep-kaur-ubco-security-guard-1.6409649 A 22-year-old man has been charged with murder in the fatal attack on security guard Harmandeep Kaur at UBC Okanagan in February. The second-degree murder charge was approved Tuesday against Dante Ognibene-Hebbourn of Kelowna, according to a statement from the RCMP. "This has been a difficult few weeks for the community in the aftermath of the tragic events of Feb. 26. The response in support to the woman's family has been remarkable," Kelowna RCMP Insp. Beth McAndie said in the statement. Ognibene-Hebbourn has been arrested and is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday. Kaur was 24 years old when she was attacked while working a shift at the Kelowna university campus. Members of Kaur's family have said she came to Canada from India in 2015. A spokesperson said she was working at the university to raise money to go back to school, potentially to become a paramedic. She received her permanent residency just weeks before she died.

https://news.sky.com/story/imran-khan-tory-mp-sexually-assaulted-man-in-his-sleep-in-pakistan-court-told-12582283 A Tory MP sexually assaulted a man in his sleep in Pakistan after a party, a court has heard. Imran Ahmad Khan, 48, was elected as the Conservative MP for Wakefield in West Yorkshire in 2019. He had been working on a project funded by the Foreign Office at the time of the alleged incident in November 2010. The man, who was then in his early 20s, told a jury that Khan offered him a sleeping pill as they shared a room in a guest house in the city of Peshawar. He said he later woke up to find Khan performing a sex act on him, adding that he "pushed him off and told him to stop". The man's claim was detailed at Southwark Crown Court, where Khan is on trial over the alleged sexual assault of a 15-year-old boy in a bunk bed at a house in Staffordshire in January 2008. He allegedly forced the youngster to drink gin, dragged him upstairs and asked him to watch pornography before touching his feet and legs. The MP, who is gay and a Muslim, denies the allegation

How do you 'get word out' ? How do you/your friends/brothers educate those who don't know about Sikhs/Sikhi ?

According to some, Islamic extremists are a big influence behind the scenes. I don't really know otherwise. But Imran Khan might be a 'lesser evil' compared to some (I mean he might be a 'good person' relative to others) which might not be a good thing for other countries who want to have influence on Pakistan. He was well known in the UK and other commonwealth countries where cricket is popular prior to his career in politics, as he is Pakistan's greatest sportsman. Further to your point in this thread, going off tangent slightly. Anyone have any thoughts on his former marriage to Jemima Goldsmith, who is from a family connected to Rothschilds ? I think it was mentioned that it was a sort of 'arranged marriage' ?

Can you tell us more about Sewapanthis , ji? I don't know any examples of any. Where are they based? Do they have Dera(s) ? I see there is a youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/sewapanthi/videos

.

His threads and posts were always entertaining . And usually informative. I don’t know if/why the mods like @Sewadar and @S1ngh had a problem with him. @West London Singh @JagsawSingh @LegalSingh if you read this, please can you return to posting here, even if just from time to time ?

What type of occult? please be more specific

Would you be higher on the list…?! (lol)

Rami Ranger again…!

Sikhs are very few In number tcompared to Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists Sikhs do not usually have more than 2-3 kids outside India (and even in any of relatives in India) and I think Sikhs maybe should have more children. Sikhs should not get drawn into this ‘overpopulation’ issue because we are small in number

@shastarSingh how well known is Ravi Singh and Khalsa Aid in Panjab? Do you seem him in Panjabi newspapers or TV?
