Just posting because I am curious what other posters opinion would be. If someone commits suicide to save honour in an extreme situation like those bibian at partition time who jumped into a well etc, what would be the Sikhi perspective on it?

I sent the original message from my phone, which 'auto-corrected' my post to say 'Barbara'. If I said I was a medical professional myself (I will leave it to you to decide whether I am or not) then maybe that would change your mind? And, your posts suggest you are a lay person not someone with a medical background. I am quite sure the OP would have told us if his symptoms matched those of the pictures below from https://www.dermnetnz.org/topics/folliculitis-barbae/ which would cause pain and discomfort. I don't see that in the OP's post. Folliculitis barbae Sycosis barbae I can tell you not many GP's will know a great deal about all hair disorders. And not many blood tests will help in diagnosis. Hopefully you do not think empirical blood tests and antibiotics replace a qualified medical professional's opinion. Like I said before, the easiest and quickest way to clarify any underlying disease is likely by seeing a dermatologist privately if feasible. NHS waiting times for a dermatologist are generally several months at best.

I have heard of another incident in south-east London, in the past week, where the whole family was at home, but 6 armed men came and took lots of jewellery and some cash. Another article to raise awareness: https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/londoners-warned-to-be-wary-of-gold-thieves-targeting-diwali-celebrations-a3661456.html Police have urged Londoners to safeguard their valuables against gangs of thieves targeting gold and jewellery during Diwali celebrations - the five-day festival of light due to begin tomorrow. The warning comes after more than £50 million worth of gold and jewellery was stolen from communities across the capital last year. Intelligence shows that criminal networks are increasingly involved in lucrative 'family gold theft' which affects many families including those from the Asian, Jewish and Maltese communities across various locations in London. Police said people can be particularly vulnerable to thieves at this time of year, due to an annual rise in burglary and robbery, and as the nights draw in. The festival period tends to see a spike in this type of crime largely due to more gold and jewellery being worn as communities travel across London to different venues - whether temples or other people's homes. Burglars use various tactics in their search for the jewels, including ripping up floorboards, and removing bath panels and safes. And thieves keen to cash in on the gold often go on to send the valuables through second hand outlets. Met police have issued a number of safety precautions to the public, in addition to tackling the problem of gold crime through a series of different initiatives. Detective Superintendent Corrigan said: "Gold will continue to be highly desired by criminals due to the speed and anonymity with which it can be exchanged for large sums of cash. "These pieces of gold and jewellery are not just valuable possessions, they are also of great sentimental worth, and if stolen, would have a huge impact on owners. "Our proactive measures to tackle these crimes has seen reductions in offences, however there is more to be done. "As part of this work, we urge Londoners to take action to safeguard their gold and jewellery by following our simple crime prevention advice." It's not just the UK, the US, (and maybe Canada?) too? http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2017/10/30/suspect-in-string-of-san-jose-gold-chain-robberies-arrested/

No one can really know, in summary. These big changes that affected our people were part of God's plan.

I think this post from the OP meant an alternative title for the thread. Maybe mods can modify it?

I cannot see from online research that sycosis Barbara actually causes hair loss. And actually, I know a lot of GP's personally and can tell you most of them wouldn't know much about treating such conditions and they would want you to see a Skin doctor with specialist interest in hair disorders. Maybe there is an underlying autoimmune condition

Don't think so. This website is not accessed much relative to number of Sikhs in the UK; this is true of Sikh forums online in general The Singh/Singhnis in prison for the General Brar incident and the Leicester guys-not any more online or otherwise support for them that I've seen compared to this case

Alternative stuff was doing fine for people until the last century. Also, follicle infections do not cause hair loss/lack of growth as far as I am aware. Bettef to see a private Dermatologist with expertise on hair rather than your family practitioner

My MP's office replied within 2 days

Jkvlondon seems to agree

Moderators, could you merge this with the main thread? Thanks

"Rajvatan" - interesting name.

Does tying beard cause beard hair to become longer?

I respectfully disagree. Sikhism has a lot in common with Vedic beliefs, less so with Islam. Our beliefs are divine truths, which are not limited to Hinduism and Islam, and I definitely do not want Sikhs saying we are a "mix"

If she is so strongly Indian, why is she married to a non Indian https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priti_Patel Personal life[edit] Patel has been married to Alex Sawyer since 2004.[77] Sawyer is a marketing consultant for the stock exchange NASDAQ. He is a Conservative councillor and Cabinet Member for Traffic and Transport on the council of the London borough of Bexley.[78][79][80] Sawyer also worked part-time as her office manager from February 2014 to August 2017.[80][81] Together they have a son, Freddie, born in August 2008.[82]

What is your take on priti Patel? and why so sure Nazanin is not a spy? Her husband is apparently

This is an excellent audio on why not to take tobacco. It is from a story told by the 10th Guru. I am not sure of the written source though

#freejagginow. you missed out the 'free'. Seems okay to me

I don't think most people want to get married in their own homes

Possibly GOI agents to defame Sikhs

I think you should have chosen a more positive title for this thread

.

Anyone heard back from their MP?

Also, they will target you by looking for where Asians live amongst white people and might even use electoral role to target Asians. i have heard of a case in East London where thousands of pounds gold and jewellery taken and the women were tortured with hot iron and boiling water. Gurdware and Sikh channels must must raise awareness for our community

These 7 things all apply to you?
