For me, a Sikh that fearlessly highlights the hypocricies and double-standards of a world where some groups are elevated at the expense of others because the ruling apparatus of the day is playing its usual divide and conquer game, would be more representative of the Guru's Sikh than someone seeking popularity and to be loved by everyone. I've always considered that to be a veneer for not wanting to make oneself a target and prevent making tough decisions, rather than some overwhelming moral imperative to do good.
As well as the 'bhangra paaing' jatts that bring our reputation down (which you frequently mention, and it's true), it also seems many 'Bhappe' do the same e.g. the subject of this thread in the tweet below
I agree with Misterr Singh. Our 'Bhappe' brothers and sisters need to up their ankh and izzat game. Many Bhappe seem to think that others will be impressed by their colorful clothing and being travel pioneers etc per the subject of the thread, but they seem to lack 'street' wiseness and it would be better for them to toughen up and tone down their clothing and dastaars . They are 'sitting ducks' again if city anti-Sikh riots occur again

A Jewish Family and a Sikh Family Swap Homes in New Show
One particular episode of "Home Sweet Home" features two families from La Cañada—a Sikh family and a Jewish family—that each spend three days immersing themselves with the other’s customs, friends, extended family and cuisine.

A new NBC show about families of different backgrounds switching homes, “Home Sweet Home,” may sound like reality television, but the Peacock network describes it as a “social experiment.”
One particular episode features two families of five from La Cañada—a Sikh family and a Jewish family—that each spend three days immersing themselves with the other’s customs, friends, extended family and cuisine.
The Jewish family, the Segals, includes Josh, a landscape architect and Gina, a caterer from the San Fernando Valley. The two met on JDate in 2008 and have three children ranging in age from seven to 10 that attend Jewish day school.
“I think it would be great for all of us to be reminded of how diverse and different the world is because we don’t normally see that,” Josh said on the show before the social experiment began.
The Sikh family, the Singh-Kaurs, includes Bhajneet, an entrepreneur who runs a women’s apparel business and writes children’s literature, and Natasha, an anesthesiologist. They have three children ranging in age from three to six.
“After 9/11, anyone with a turban or a beard was just labeled ‘a terrorist,’” said Natasha. Bhajneet pointed out how hurtful stereotyping over the last two decades has led to violence against Sikh-Americans.
“THIS IS SUCH AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLAIN TO THE WORLD WHO WE ARE, WHAT WE STAND FOR AND HOW WE LIVE.”— BHAJNEET SINGH-KAURS
“This is such an amazing opportunity to explain to the world who we are, what we stand for and how we live,” Bhajneet said.
In a press release, Ava DuVernay, the creator of “Home Sweet Home,” said that she strives to amplify different voices, cultures and experiences in all the work she and her team at ARRAY Filmworks create.
“My hope is that audiences will find understanding, perspective and appreciation for not only the families featured on the show, but with their neighbors in real life,” DuVernay said. She received multiple award nominations for directing both the 2014 civil rights drama “Selma” and the 2016 documentary “13th.”
“MY HOPE IS THAT AUDIENCES WILL FIND UNDERSTANDING, PERSPECTIVE AND APPRECIATION FOR NOT ONLY THE FAMILIES FEATURED ON THE SHOW, BUT WITH THEIR NEIGHBORS IN REAL LIFE.” – AVA DUVERNAY

I'm not sure at where, age 5-8 ? Apparently its easier to absorb information at a younger age.
Yes India can be harsh, I am just spit balling atm lol
I think most who returned India briefly was unplanned with regards to the education; returning was because they thought they would return India permanently, or they had some family reason to return for less than a year. Think this happened mainly in 80's and 90's

Hmmm very interesting, still have not tried meat substitute, and it wouldn't be a daily thing even if I did.
My mum used to make soya chunks in a thuri, which was pretty nice. But I have been a meat eater all my life, was watching this program about undigested meat that is just stuck in your body. So thought I'd give up on the meat or try at least.
You should watch some of the videos on Net and documentaries which show how cruelly/badly treated these farmed animal are.

Artillery shell presented as thank you to Gurdwara over Sikh war monument
The artillery shell fired during the unveiling of a Sikh war monument has been presented to the Gurdwara that commissioned the statue.
Subscribe to our daily newsletter!Sign UpThe commemorative artillery shell presented to the Guru Nanak Gurdwara to recognise the unveiling of the Saragarhi Monument.Members of the British Army paid an official visit to Guru Nanak Gurdwara in Wednesfield to meet members of the local community and speak about the importance of the statue.
The Saragarhi Monument, which stands in Well Lane close to the Gurdwara, is the first UK memorial of its kind commemorating the bravery of 19th century Sikh soldiers.
The artillery shell fired in the ceremony was presented to the Guru Nanak Gurdwara by Brigadier John Kendall and army colleagues during the visit.
Brigadier Kendall also gave a presentation to members of the Gurdwara and the local community about the importance of the statue and provided further history about the Battle of Saragarhi, including how the conflict would have been from a soldier’s point of view.
Representatives from the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy were also in attendance during the evening as part of their community engagement programmes.
Members of the Gurdwara’s congregation undertook a massive £100,000 fundraising programme for the Saragarhi Monument, which was created by Black Country sculptor Luke Perry.The project was supported by the community and City of Wolverhampton Council also contributed £35,000 towards the memorial after it agreed to transfer land to the Gurdwara on a 99-year lease.
Councillor Bhupinder Gakhal, cabinet member for city assets and housing at Wolverhampton Council and ward member for Wednesfield South, worked closely with the Gurdwara to develop plans for the memorial.
He said: "This was an important visit to recognise and remember the Battle of Saragarhi.
"The Gurdwara was honoured to have welcomed representatives from the British Army, the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy and receive this special presentation.
"The Saragarhi Monument forms part of British Army history and it is only right that we remember the 21 Sikh soldiers and the Muslim cook who joined their ranks for their incredible bravery.
"I would encourage people to come to Wednesfield to see the monument and learn more about the brotherhood and sense of loyalty shared by those men who fought to the end."

How many of your Singhs and Singhnis out there like to grow your own vegetables.
My neighbours on either side both their own vegetables and sometimes I feel I should do the same but I am too lazy.
Went to the local supermarket and bought some Spinach and green beans, when I looked at where they were grown one said Kenya and the other one Spain.
Unless you are buying something like pineapples and bananas, why does vegetables that can be grown locally have to come from so far away.
There are 2 answers to why food is grown far away, cheaper and multiculturalism, there is a reason farmer markets cost more and organic foods cost more.
@Jacfsing2 I agree
We grow some stuff mainly in summer e.g. tomatoes, kadhoo, mithhay, mircha, cucumber
It all tastes a lot better (the cucumbers are bitter though) than shop-bought
@dallysingh101 grows his own too
Anyone else grow stuff?
You West coast Americans should be able to grow lots of stuff

Thought this part was slightly funny (sorry!): "Dad Mr Dhaliwal used to be clean-shaven but has since been forced to grow a beard just to hide the lasting visible scar he has been left with."
https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/black-country/sacked-worker-jailed-plunging-blade-22814127
Sacked worker jailed for plunging blade into boss's chin during 'scuffle' over unpaid wages in Smethwick
Ashwani Kumar, 46, attacked his ex-boss after arming himself with a 'dangerous' weapon
A disgruntled employee sacked for poor performance who slashed his ex-boss to the face during a 'scuffle' over unpaid wages has been locked up.'Angry' Ashwani Kumar left former boss Harnek Singh Dhaliwal with a deep 15cm wound after plunging a Stanley knife-style blade into his chin during the late-night row.
The 46-year-old phoned his victim almost 20 times to demand extra cash he thought he was owed before 'his mood darkened' and he decided to arm himself with the 'nasty weapon'.

Dad Mr Dhaliwal used to be clean-shaven but has since been forced to grow a beard just to hide the lasting visible scar he has been left with.
Kumar, of St Marks Road, Tipton, worked for Mr Dhaliwal for a few weeks before he was let go in September 2019.
He called his ex-boss two weeks later demanding extra money he believed he was still owed, Wolverhampton Crown Court heard.
The pair then confronted each other and launched into a brawl in Smethwick, with Mr Dhaliwal 'making a beeline' straight for his former employee.
But Kumar - who had been drinking alcohol - 'almost instantly' brandished his 'dangerous' blade and stabbed his victim to the arm and chin.
His victim suffered a 10 to 15cm wound, which was so deep it reached the muscle layers, the court heard.
Kumar - who claimed his 'aggressive' attack was due to excessive self-defence - then tried to hide the knife by throwing it on a roof.
Prosecutor William Dudley told the court the 'short-lived' attack was premeditated and planned.
The victim - whose son witnessed the assault - was left with a 'significant and visible' scar to his chin and neck, he added.
Simon Williams, defending, said Kumar’s offending was 'completely out of character'.
He has 'worked hard' since he came to the UK from India and has never claimed benefits.
The convict - who was assisted by a Punjabi interpreter in court - sends part of his minimum £1,800 monthly pay packet to India to clear his father’s medical bills, Mr Williams said.

It's Pakistan, I'm sure if they just bribe the police, they can do whatever without consequences.
If anyone has more details (I know maybe not) about these brothels etc, would be interesting to know
*Most of the 'wrong un' Paks in UK are not from the part of Panjab close to East Panjab, they're from near Rawalpindi, or Mirpur/Azad Kashmir - make more sense that these girls be trafficked to those areas (*yes, I know they could be any type of Pak including those whose families are from places like Lahore/Sialkot/Faislabad
Alternatively, the girls are/were all over so especially close to places of wealth such as Lahore .
Depends where in Pakistan they and the Singhs were/are, and how many of each group to make a chance encounter more or less likely

25 years ago, word on the grapevine was that even kharkus who'd fled to p'stan were meeting british raised apneean trapped in the country on the streets asking for help. Apparently they'd been dumped there in brothels by 'boyfriends'. The kharkus weren't even in any position to help them.
Look at how much anecdotal information has been floating around for decades, which seemed like conspiracy theories back then, but have subsequently proved to be true.
All of this was smoke coming off a larger, hidden fire.
How were the Kharkus meeting these on the street? That suggests there might have been more than say just a hundred of these girls? I thought the problem was smaller than that.
Wouldn't their 'pimps' have better control of them ?

While the UAE didn’t immediately blame anyone for the attack, Yahia Sarei, a military spokesman of the Houthi group, had claimed that they had launched an attack “deep in the UAE”.
Yemen’s Houthi group has taken responsibility for several attacks on Saudi Arabian oil facilities in the past. The UAE is part of the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen fighting Houthi rebels.

CNN) -- Pro wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, embroiled in a bitter divorce with his wife, Linda, told Rolling Stone magazine he can "totally understand" O.J. Simpson, the former football great found liable for the deaths of his wife and another man.
"I could have turned everything into a crime scene like O.J., cutting everybody's throat," Hogan said in the interview for a feature that will run in Friday's edition of the magazine."You live half a mile from the 20,000-square-foot home you can't go to anymore, you're driving through downtown Clearwater [Florida] and see a 19-year-old boy driving your Escalade, and you know that a 19-year-old boy is sleeping in your bed, with your wife ...
"I totally understand O.J. I get it," Hogan said.
