As for RS, the amount of time I have known someone for ages only to find out that they weren't really Sikh but RS when I've gone round and seen a photo of their Guru on the wall.

@dallysingh101I don't know a single one personally in UK. Probably I don't go other peoples' house much, lol.

Or you just keep dodgy company, lol

@shastarSingh Veer ji, as well as the original post on this thread, I remember hearing from relatives in Panjab that a lot of Bihari 'bhayea' in their area had become Amritdhari. Is this still true ?

I'm not far from Gravesend

Just wanted to get an idea from someone who knows Southall well, how is it/how much it has changed in past 15 years ?

Can someone who knows this language (Kashmiri) translate this to English please. It’s something about Kashmiri girls in Punjab/Chandigarh having relations with Sikhs.

Do you think they have 'hijacked'  'Khalsa'  as a surname ?

Sad News - only aware of it from one of the Sikh channels on Sky TV today

Bodies of 2 killed in Abu Dhabi reach homes in Punjab: ‘Was planning to start new life’ .  A Pakistani national was also among those killed in the drone attack. Two of the six injured in the attack were later identified as Indians.

Way cooler tham hogan. Hogan is dissappointing. I used to love him as a kid. His career has had amazing longevity. He's more hands on with his daughter than I've been with some girlfriends. It's unnerving. 

He was the reason I started following wrestling. Then Bret Hart, then I lost interest when wrestling got really popular.

Be careful. Many Sikhs have left Southall. If you think it is full of Sikhs these days you'd be wrong.

Maybe think of going Gravesend instead.

@dallysingh101 do you know how much demographics of Southall have changed since 2007 ? I know you're not from W London. I've only been there about 5 times since then, and only for an hour or two so don't know. 

There doesn't seem to anyone on this site currently who post regularly from W London. 

Anyone know if it's more like Kabul or Lahore or Mogadishu than Jalandhar these days (I'm not looking up official figures as I think number of illegals is likely high)

Gravesend is (touchwood) still relatively pleasant.

Premi is a girl.

Women are in their prime ages 18-25. Men are in their prime ages 25-35. Physicality, mostly, but other things as well.

No, I am a woman! Lol (not really)

18-25 might be the most fertile age of women (younger even)

18-25 also is the age a lot of women have been groomed, so in that sense, those women show us that women also need time to mature, like men

There's three primes at least though, sexual, emotional, financial. And they hit men and women at different times. 

How do men and women have different financial peaks since they generally start work around the same age ?

Not sure that's true, lol . Actually, I think a lot of women retain more of their personality traits as they get older than men. I think men learn from their mistakes, experiences and inter-personal relationships (nature of women and how to manage relationships better) than women do

Concerns about the commitment of minorities to British norms and values are misplaced.

• Nor do Muslims show in general any lack of commitment to Britain or any enthusiasm for extremist politics.

• However, there is worrying evidence that second-generation citizens of Black Caribbean heritage do not feel that the British political system has treated them fairly. Black Caribbeans, not Muslims, are the group who feel most alienated.

 

I thought these sections were interesting

https://www.runnymedetrust.org/projects-and-publications/parliament/voting-behaviour.html

How do ethnic minorities vote?

Runnymede has made a film on voting patterns of ethnic minorities, based on data from the largest ever survey on the issue. The film highlights some of the issues raised by the The 2010 Ethnic Minority British Election Survey (EMBES).

The 2010 Ethnic Minority British Election Survey is the most comprehensive study ever undertaken in Britain of the political concerns, orientations, voting patterns and integration of ethnic minorities in the political process.

• Finally, a majority of BME people believe that there is still prejudice in the UK society,
• including nearly three-quarters of Black Caribbean people. Indeed, over a third (36%) of ethnic minorities report a personal experience of discrimination.

The race for the Sikh vote

FacebookTwitterLinkedInEmailCopy Link

View all news

The largest survey of Sikh voting behavior in the General Election shows an increasingly competitive race for the Sikh vote.

The Sikh Federation (UK) survey of over 1000 Sikh voters found Labour ahead, with almost half the vote, with the Conservatives up strongly to 36%, a rise of over twenty points.

The survey was conducted by the Sikh Network, a nationwide network of activists from Sikh organisations, youth groups and the professions, who had been gathered to help to put together a ‘Sikh Manifesto’ ahead of the election.

These activists were asked to approach Sikh voters in their areas and regions by email and through Gurdwaras to gauge how Sikhs had cast their votes. The organisers were thus able to gather responses from 1,000 Sikh voters across 190 constituencies during the fortnight after the General Election.

The optional religious question in the 2011 census showed that Sikhism is Britain’s fourth largest faith, with 423,000 adherents, about 0.8% of the population of England and Wales. About a quarter are under eighteen.

On the basis of the 2011 census Sikhs make up around 6% of the ethnic minority vote, or just over one in every twenty ethnic minority voters.

The Survation poll of ethnic minorities for British Future included a small sample of 66 Sikh voters out of the 1,633 survey respondents who had voted in the General Election.

In that poll, Conservatives led Labour by 49% to 41% among those Sikh respondents.  As noted in British Future’s release, that sample size is too small to offer any clear guide as to which party was ahead.

The large scale of the Sikh Federation (UK) survey makes it the most important snapshot to date of Sikh political engagement in the 2015 election. While the results do not offer a definitive guide to the politics of the Sikh vote in 2015 either, as the method was not that of a representative poll, its size alone merits attention.

 

What both surveys do capture is an increasingly competitive battle for voters from ethnic and faith minorities between the political parties.

The Conservatives are growing in confidence about their ability to compete with Labour for a greater share of ethnic minority votes than in the past, and have particularly sought to target aspirational British Indian voters in southern marginals.

Your tolerance levels go down as you get older. You get more easily irritated. Better to get into a relationship before this. lol! 

 

 

 

Conversely, I think a lot of 'angry young men' for example, mellow with age. 

I think when for example one is younger and makes mistakes due to anger/impatience, you learn a lesson each time and then better control it. 

But it might depend on how 'high maintenance' your partner is , lol

Thanks for uploading that. I read half of it. I think the Canadian crew are having major issues already with drugs and gangs.

Main eh vee sunnayaa vee othay (B.C) saday munday upneeaan kurian noo betch de nay. I read this in a posting on Tapoban.

But yes, the canadian sangat should keep their eyes open.

Another issue is where the kuri quoted says that Scotland Yard knew of a good few cases of this taking place and a number of kurian being stuck in P'stan. If this is true then why very recently have they denied that any grooming or forced conversions take place.

Knowing angreezis, it is their second nature too lie and maybe they were covering it up to keep it peaceful on the streets here. But meeting so many <banned word filter activated> upneean in England I don't doubt it would be easy for some scheming bundha to do this to them quite easily.

@dallysingh101 again, you were ahead of most people re the Police etc

Can any Canadian Sangat confirm whether apne put their own sisters into prostitution ?

Bumping this up because of the time of year. 

@GurjantGnostic what  do you think the main message is from this story ?

@dallysingh101 do you think the Army were worried about training Sikhs who could then go against them ? Was there any Indian Govt influence back then ?

Punjabi Link.. i like some of your posts but i see this reply of urs very racist....

Majority of our forefathers do not just blindly support someone in our known history.. Our forefathers had Ankh, sardari and most important loyalty. Sikh joined British army during mutiny era (1850's) because our forefathers saw julam against British families from gujrat to Bombay (butchring). Then Sikhs went against them because of julam against innocent punjabis/indians (Gadar, Azad Hind force, Morchay, bhai randhir singh jee's kurbani and so on)... To sum it up our forefathers didn't helped them because they were goray in Skin or british.. they always go for what they believe is TRUTH in their eyes. Rest is upto this world whether they give them their hard earned credit or not.. They came to this world and did great deed and lived their life according to sikh asoool.. May God Bless them !!

I know for example that many Mahapurkh from Bhai Daya Singh Ji Samparda were in Fouj. But @dallysingh101was ahead of most even many years ago.

The part about : "Sikh joined British army during mutiny era (1850's) because our forefathers saw julam against British families from gujrat to Bombay (butchring)."      This is news to me. Can anyone confirm ?

On my last visit to india, i met several war veterans.. one of the sikh veteran i met served in British army and him and his friends revolted against their rule of Helmets and they were punished in a very brutal way (they were left in jungles to fight off with Japanese).. his singh and his friends were captured by Japan and went thru many jails.. They later formed Azad Hind Force and served under Subash Chander Bose. He went thru many brutal battles in jungles of Burma and so on.. They were captured on their return to India.. Stripped off their ranks and were taken to court.. Gandhi and other leaders gave blank face to them and didn't helped them at all.. ON their own and with small outside help.. they were released without any credits given to them.. No pensions, no medals.. Nothing.. Most of the Azad hind force (against british) soldiers went thru that.. This singh who fought in world war II started getting pension in around 1983 after Indra Ghandi gave a green light but they really fought hard to get the pensions. So it wasn't easy for them.. I remember he mentioned to his superiors during their group revolt against british.. "16 ruppaey teh assey apna jaan veech dittey but assey dharam nahey vechna kaday veey." We sold our life for Rs16 a month but we will never compromise on our religion and its identity." (On issue of wearing hard helmet.)

So, the British just treated Sikhs badly .
