I know a Chinese health professional. He tells me that China is a very united country, and their government would never tolerate break-away states. They would have a fearsome army, I think

This should be a lesson to all who think anywhere outside of India the grass is greener

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-38373867 Berlin Breitscheidplatz: Lorry kills nine at Christmas market A lorry has ploughed into a Christmas market in central Berlin, killing nine people and injuring many more, police say. Police now say they suspect it was a deliberate attack. Video footage from the scene shows stalls knocked over and people lying injured on the ground. The driver is on the run, German media report. The market is at Breitscheidplatz close to the Kurfuerstendamm, the main shopping street in the city's west. A reporter for the Berliner Morgenpost described a "gruesome scene". The Berliner Zeitung reports that police have set up a meeting point for relatives at the scene. A photographer for the DPA news agency said that armed police were at entrance to the nearby zoo. Looks like we are heading closer to WW3

I have noticed for a while that on my right wrist, the kara is causing a lot of hair removal. Anyone else had a similar issue, and where can I get blunter kara from? Mine is made from Iron

It's the same in UK

Wonder if Sikhs will be affected much by Trump Presidency?

What will be achieved with a further new Sikh channel? The other three are not already of outstanding quality

How would those in Punjab (remembering there are Hindus, Muslims, Christians too) vote as a percent of Yes vs No? If NRI Sikhs were to vote, how would it compare by country, e.g. UK, USA, Canada, Italy?

Thanks, this was a helpful post. I had not heard of this site before. Btw, I have just ordered it from a library in another part of London. Libraries very useful if you want to get books, and surprisingly this one was available at Ealing Library

Fair enough, but sometimes people will take more notice when reading a book

Anyone able to recommend where I can buy this book, or willing to sell to me please?

Kids shouldn't be born to parents >age 50. I think this was very wrong, and selfish. She should have accepted it was not meant to be for her to have children, or adopted. She's old enough to be the child's great-grandmother!

Strange how there wasn't much news about this in the mainstream media

.

Good to see this

The bolded bit alone would have been very helpful, thank you.

They bought two handguns from the shop that day, including a revolver the couple used to kill Taneja's ex-wife on Oct. 12, 2013.(Montgomery County State’s Attorney’s Office) By Dan Morse November 11 Raminder Kaur, a 66-year-old grandmother accused of gunning down her husband’s ex-wife with a snub-nose revolver, was convicted of first-degree murder in Montgomery County late Thursday by a jury that rejected her attorneys’ claim that it was her husband, acting alone, who fired the shots. The verdict comes more than three years after the death of Preeta Gabba, 49, as she walked along a quiet street in Germantown, Md., to catch a bus to work on a Saturday morning. In a 2014 trial, Kaur and her husband, a PhD-level biostatistician named Baldeo Taneja, 65. were tried together. Both were convicted of first-degree murder. The two, natives of India, had been in an Amway operation together, and were living in Tennessee. They were upset about alimony that Taneja still had to pay to his ex-wife. After their convictions, both Kaur and Taneja moved to get new trials. Taneja’s effort is pending. But Kaur, based on a judge’s ruling that she had ineffective lawyering in 2014, was granted the new trial. In the most recent case, Taneja was not at the defense table with Kaur. She did not testify, but her attorneys put forth a defense that Taneja committed the murder. Baldeo Taneja and Raminder Kaur were tried together in 2014 in the slaying of his ex-wife. Both were convicted of first-degree murder, but a judge ordered a new trial for Kaur. (Tennessee law enforcement photos) She showed little emotion Thursday evening as the jury announced its verdict: guilty on the murder charge, as well as guilty on conspiracy and handgun counts. Kaur puts blame on husband Preeta Gabba’s son: ‘She was the only family I had.’ Her second trial had begun early last week. Kaur will remain behind bars and will be sentenced at a later date. “This was a coldblooded act,” said Montgomery County State’s Attorney John McCarthy, noting the plotting and planning on the part of Kaur and Teneja. “Not only did they drive up here to execute the victim, they’d come up earlier to run surveillance on her movements. I am grateful that a jury has seen the truth of this matter — yet again.” The murder goes back to October 2013. That month, according to authorities, Kaur and Taneja got into their car in Nashville, drove to Maryland and checked into a Red Roof Inn. When they awoke, authorities say, they drove to the ex-wife’s neighborhood, where Kaur got out of the car to shoot her before the couple left, then made a quick appearance at an Amway conference and headed back to Tennessee. Preeta Gabba (Montgomery County State’s Attorney’s Office) Police soon caught up to them, finding in their car the alleged murder weapon, a second handgun, more than $3,000 in cash, hair dye, a wig and the packaging for a second wig, according to prosecutors. They contend that the couple used their stop at the Amway conference to create a cover story. Earlier Thursday, the jury panel had sent a note to the judge saying they were having trouble reaching an agreement. But they kept going, eventually reaching a verdict. In an interview after the verdict, one juror said the panel respected each other during the full day of deliberations. “All the jurors looked to achieve consensus,” he said. They kept reviewing the evidence, and how Maryland law defined participation in a murder, according to the juror, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the deliberations.

She was an active participant.” Still, in the end, most of the jurors also felt she was the shooter, the juror said. Why Raminder Kaur was given a new trial. Immediately after Kaur’s first ­trial, top officials at the Maryland Public Defender’s Office stepped forward and asserted that one of their attorneys had provided poor representation to Kaur and contended that Kaur had wanted to testify, but that her attorney would not let her. The office asked for the new trial for Kaur. Montgomery Circuit Court Judge Michael Mason agreed, ruling that part of the defense failings in the first trial resulted from the heavy workload carried by public defenders.

http://www.thehindu.com/news/international/sikh-mistaken-for-muslim-harassed-at-us-store/article9367458.ece Sikh harassed, woman attacked after bandanna mistaken for hijab in U.S. Latest in 437 reports of racist slurs, hateful intimidation or harassment since Trump won the presidential poll. A 22-year-old Sikh, studying at the prestigious Harvard Law School, was allegedly abused and harassed at a store near the campus by a man who mistook him for a Muslim. Harmann Singh, a first year law student at the university, said he was shopping in a store in Cambridge, Massachusetts, while speaking on the phone with his mother, when a man walked in and said to the clerk behind the counter, “Oh look, there’s a [expletive] Muslim.” “Over the weekend, I was confronted by a man who called me a ‘[expletive] Muslim’ and followed me around a store aggressively asking where I was from, and and no one in the store said a thing. I was on the phone with my mom the entire time, and we were both concerned for my safety as this man stood inches away from me,” Mr. Singh wrote about his experience in The Boston Globe. His family too faced it “While deeply painful, what happened to me pales in comparison to the hate and violence many of my brothers and sisters have faced across the country,” he wrote. According to Mr. Singh, the man started following him around the store, harassing him and asking him where he was from. Mr. Singh, who is from Buffalo, New York, said he tried to ignore the man and continue his conversation with his mother, who was worried. She could hear the man questioning Mr. Singh and told her son to leave the shop. Mr. Singh said the man followed him to the checkout counter. “I told him, ‘Hey I’m actually from New York. I live here now down the street. Is there anything I can do to help you?’” Mr. Singh said. He made a hasty exit The man did not respond and Mr. Singh left the store as quickly as possible. He said the most effective way to help people who feel marginalised is to “be there for each other in these moments.” A bystander, who checks in with the person, being harassed in any situation can make all the difference, he said. The owner of the store told Boston.com that he was going back and forth between the back and front of the shop at the time of the incident that took place on November 11 and saw the man who spoke to Mr. Singh come in. He said he had planned to ask the man to leave, but went to the back of the store when the incident occurred. Both Mr. Singh and the other man were gone when he returned. He said he was shocked and sorry when his clerk told him what happened. “I don’t know where that guy came from and I hope I don’t see him again,” said the owner, who did not want to be named. Indian-American woman attacked In a separate incident, a 41-year-old Indian-American woman has been racially attacked in San Francisco in the U.S. state of California after a bandanna on her head was mistaken as a hijab, the latest in a series of assaults following Donald Trump’s win. Nicki Pancholy was on her ‘peace walk’ when on return she found her car window shattered, her purse gone and a note calling her a “Hijab-wearing b****,” and asking her to “get the f— out.” She has lupus Ms. Pancholy is not Muslim, nor does she wear a hijab. She is a Rajasthani and has been battling lupus, which caused hair loss, and put the bandanna on her head as protection from the sun, NBC news reported. “When I saw it, I was in shock. That someone would feel so much hate to do this. I realise that this is the climate after this election. But I didn’t realise someone would be so ignorant and in so much pain to cause so much harm,” she said. “I was wearing a bandanna over my head, not because I am religious, but because I am protecting my scalp from the sun because I have lupus, an inflammatory autoimmune disease that can damage tissues and organs, she added. She had been hiking in Mission Peak (just north of San Jose) every morning for 65 days straight before this happened, it said. “I didn’t know who was watching me. I would like for the violence to end with me,” she added. Respect everyone, period “Many of our neighbours, friends, and family fear the current climate in our country, and we must do our best to make sure everyone is respected,” Raj Salwan, Freemont City Councillor-elect said. Police are investigating the note as a hate crime and auto burglary as her windows were smashed and someone stole her purse and checkbook, it said. Ms. Pancholy is just one of a growing number of people across the country, even in the Democratic stronghold of the Bay Area, to fall victim to hateful harassment since Mr. Trump became President-elect. Last week, a Muslim student’s hijab was allegedly ripped off and her hair pulled down by a classmate at a school in Minnesota. The Southern Poverty Law Center has noted a marked increase in hateful acts across the country since Mr. Trump has been elected. As of Monday, the hate-tracking group has found 437 reports of hateful intimidation or harassment since November 9.

In summary, what is this talk about?

The usual suspects at it again!
