It's usually colored vs colored. Few whites are stabbed (there are not that many white youths in London proper). Maybe some of the attacks are racist, but only a minority. It's usually gang related or theft related

https://nation.com.pk/05-Dec-2021/5th-phase-of-khalistan-referendum-to-be-held-in-uk-today 5th phase of Khalistan Referendum to be held in UK today December 05, 2021 ISLAMABAD - The 5th phase of the referendum for Khalistan, an independent Sikh homeland in India, will be held in the United Kingdom (UK) Sunday (today). According to Kashmir Media Service, thousands of members of Sikh community residing in the UK have participated in earlier four phases of the Referendum, which kick started with voting in London on 31 October, this year. The massive participation of Sikhs in the referendum for their homeland has unnerved the Narendra Modi-led fascist Indian government, which tried hard to stop the exercise in the UK but failed. However, the British government allowed the Sikh referendum despite New Delhi’s concerns.

Usual suspects again https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/16886468/police-charge-women-men-rape-girls-kirklees/ RAPE CHARGES Alleged grooming gang including 3 women and 39 men charged over rape and abuse of underage girls over 20 years Paul Sims Holly Christodoulou 15:33, 29 Nov 2021 Updated: 11:57, 3 Dec 2021 FORTY-TWO people, including three women, have been charged with historic child sex offences over a 20-year period. They are alleged to have been part of a widespread grooming gang that targeted children between 1995 and 2015. They are accused of prostitution, rape, indecent assault and false imprisonment, with the alleged offences involving six female victims who were all children at the time. The gang - aged between 41 and 83 - will appear at Leeds Magistrates court tomorrow. They are mainly from the Kirklees area of West Yorkshire and acted in the Dewsbury and Batley areas. The charges come as part of a massive police operation into historic child sexual abuse by so-called grooming gangs. She told how the abusers acted with impunity because police, social workers and council bosses feared being accused of racism.

Yes, definitely wrong. Hopefully it is dying out. @shastarSinghji can tell us what they observe in Punjab.

Indians of the older generation (pre-'millennials') have tendency to racism. I don't think it's anything like the hardcore racism that exists in the States, it's more ignorance. Also, Indians are very 'colorist' - they much prefer lighter skinned people in their own societies. But you don't see it as much with Western-raised Indians.

Yes, they are told to have separate entrance to Gurdware (or separate Gurdware) because jatts don't want to share with them - been told by my elders. @shastarSingh - can you tell us why are these Haryanvis getting into Sikhi ? Were their family Sikh once? Was it inspiration from the Kisaan morcha ?Is it just jaats or is it also other Haryanvis ?

I don't think it works like that in London. https://www.mylondon.news/news/local-news/london-crime-craziest-weapons-found-22312941 https://www.mylondon.news/news/zone-1-news/london-crime-27-teenagers-killed-22298547 Nine of the teenagers killed on London streets in 2021, aged 14-18 (Image: Metropolitan Police)

I don't know about the US, but in the UK if you unintentionally kill someone, you are charged with manslaughter. In this case, 'aggravated' manslaughter seems too harsh. It doesn't say he will definitely get 30 years, just that that is the max sentence. If he has a good record otherwise, it should be much lower. @GurjantGnosticsince you live in the US, would you agree with what we hear in the UK that non-whites get much harsher sentences compared to whites there ? Personally, I have no idea how I would treat this case. I don't see how long term prison sentences benefit anyone but the most dangerous criminals.

How religious are these people? How much paath do they do ? How much do these Jews try to stand out from goray? How much are they into maya? Although it's also true to say many 'Sikhs' are not religious yet not 'achieving ' as much as these groups. Do you think we should have a Sikh community that is politically stronger, but religiously much less than it is now, say, like the Jews ? Found this resource which is interesting https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/57a08b1eed915d622c000af5/india-religions_and_development_02.pdf 5. Concluding Comments Notwithstanding some very obvious development deficits, economically Sikhs have done fairly well as a community. The desire for social and economic mobility is extremely strong among them. One of the central features of the Sikh self-image is the image of ‘a hard-working and mobile community’. Mobility is perhaps the single most important secular value among the Sikhs. Though compared to the followers of other religious traditions in India, the number of Sikhs is quite small; they can be seen in almost every part of the country and in every sphere of economic life. They have also been a globally mobile community, being among the first from the subcontinent to explore the Western hemisphere. There are substantial number of Sikhs in countries like United Kingdom, the United States and Canada and smaller populations of Sikhs can be found in many other countries of the world. The desire to go to foreign lands for better economic opportunities continues to be strong among the Sikhs. Though the green revolution technology was introduced in different parts of the country, it was in Punjab that it proved most effective. Scholars writing on the subject give due credit to the community culture of the Sikhs, particularly to the Jat Sikh farmers. For a long time Punjab was the richest state in India, with highest per capita income. As shown above, the incidence of poverty among the Sikhs is far less than amongst any other religious community. The available official data also shows a move away from agriculture and growing occupational diversification among Sikhs. However, notwithstanding these achievements and the pride they take in the ‘modernity’ of their religious ethos, Sikhs are not a homogenous community. Apart from the economic inequalities that characterise the Sikh population, like any other religious community, Sikhs are also confronted with several other developmental challenges. While ideologically Sikhism does not support caste-based inequality or the idea of untouchability, in social and political life, the community continues to be divided on caste lines. Even though the growing institutionalisation of democratic politics and economic development during the post-independence period have weakened the older structures of hierarchy and social inequality, caste prejudice persists. (see Jodhka, 2000, 2002, 2004). Perhaps even more important than caste is the question of gender inequality. Even though the Sikh religion provides useful resources for fighting against gender-based discrimination, these resources have not been used effectively to ‘reform’ the patriarchal culture of the community. The near-obsession with mobility has also created side-effects, one of which is excessive consumerism and desperation to go abroad

December 3, 2021 By NAINA BHARDWAJ "sickening abuse for their own perverted sexual interests" Abhiyaan Malhotra, aged 25, of Swansea, has been jailed for 42 months after pleading guilty to both voyeurism and arranging or facilitating the commission of a child sex offence. William Greenhalgh, aged 22, formerly of Blackpool, was jailed for 40 months after pleading guilty to making and distributing indecent photographs of a child, possessing a prohibited image of a child and sexual assault against a child. Both were made the subject of a lifetime sexual harm prevention order and ordered to sign the sex offenders register for life. The pair were caught after Lancashire Police’s Online Child Abuse Investigation Team (OCAIT) launched an investigation in early 2020 as they had been made aware of an individual uploading an indecent image of a child to Facebook. This led officers to Greenhalgh’s home where they seized his phone for further examination.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-59524527 Italian man tries to dodge Covid jab using fake arm Published 16 hours ago An Italian man who wanted a Covid vaccination certificate without getting the jab turned up for his vaccine with a fake arm, officials say. The man, in his 50s, arrived for his shot with a silicone mould covering his real arm, hoping it would go unnoticed. But a nurse was not fooled and the man has now been reported to the police. The nurse told local media that when she had rolled up his sleeve, she found the skin "rubbery and cold" and the pigment "too light". After being discovered, the man tried to persuade the nurse to turn a blind eye, la Repubblica reported. But instead she reported him to the police for fraud. Local police are now investigating the incident in Biella, north-west Italy, and local officials have criticised the man's actions. "The case borders on the ridiculous, if it were not for the fact we are talking about a gesture of enormous gravity," the head of the Piedmont regional government, Albert Cirio, said in a statement on Facebook. He said the ploy was "unacceptable faced with the sacrifice that our entire community has paid during the pandemic, in terms of human lives, the social and economic cost". The man was reportedly a health worker who had been suspended from his job because he had not been vaccinated. The jab is mandatory for all health workers in Italy. La Repubblica suggests the incident may not have been a one-off, pointing to a message on social media that may have been written by the man. The Twitter post quoted by the paper featured a silicone male chest half-body suit, complete with fake arms and neck, that was on sale on Amazon for €488 (£416). "If I go with this, will they notice? Maybe beneath the silicone I'll even put on some extra clothes to avoid the needle reaching my real arm," the Twitter user reportedly wrote. The incident comes ahead of a tightening of the rules in Italy for those who have not been vaccinated. Since August, Italians have needed a Covid "green pass" - showing proof of vaccination, a negative test or recovery from the virus - to access train stations, cinemas, restaurants, gyms and swimming pools. But from Monday, these activities will be restricted to those with a "super green pass", which is only available to those who have been vaccinated or recently recovered from Covid.

Some Positive news - I think Biharis in Punjab have a much higher prevalence of smoking. Does this correlate with a lower Bihari population in Punjab now ?

Twenty-one-year-old Nirmaljeet Singh (popular by his social media name ‘Angadh Singh Khalsa’) is lounging by the roadside when a Kashmiri woman, dressed in loose black garment, approaches him. “Mashallah, your speech from yesterday was very nice,” she remarks jovially. “We were watching. God bless you with eternal success. You are fighting for the truth.” Streets were not the only venue where he became the subject of adoration. “#Salute #Respect,” wrote one user on Twitter, sharing a picture of Singh. “Much love and respect to @ASKhalsa84 bhai,” posted another, mentioning his Twitter handle. There were similar updates on Facebook as well as Instagram. This month, tempers have flared in Kashmir Valley again. Two weeks ago, police said they carried out an anti-militancy operation at Hyderpora near highway in Srinagar in which a militant, his associate and two civilians were killed. The deaths have sparked outrage, with the families of two slain civilians alleging that the police recklessly forced their kin to participate in the operation. It appears that the civilians may have attempted – upon whose instructions it is not clear – to unlock the rooms where a purported Pakistani militant was hiding.

The pastor places his hand on the heads of disciples as they shake violently. Some faint, others cry. But all are waiting for a miracle. Christianity is growing in Punjab, mirroring what states like Tamil Nadu experienced in the 1980s and 1990s. Small churches are springing up on the rooftops of many villages in Gurdaspur. Tired of centuries of casteism and systemic oppression, many Dalits, belonging to the Mazhabi Sikh and Valmiki Hindu communities living in Punjab’s border belt, have started looking to Christianity in the hope of a dignified life and access to better education.

I couldn't find this news I vaguely remember the story Bhai Ji must be around 73 now https://apnews.com/article/616306df45a4f1b143c27d19b251ce34 Sikhs Given Life Terms For Killing Religious Leader March 11, 1989 LONDON (AP) _ Two Sikh men angered by the teachings of a religious leader were sentenced to life in prison for killing the guru as he spoke to hundreds of his followers. Rajinder Singh Batth, 39, and Mangit Singh Sunder, 26, wearing orange turbans, chanted, ″God is great, victory to the God,″ as they were led to their cells at the Old Bailey Central Criminal Court. Judge James Miskin said the two took part in a ″disgraceful pre-planned slaughter″ on Nov. 11, 1987, that left three people dead and one wounded. Miskin sentenced both to life in prison and recommended Batth serve a minimum of 30 years and Sunder at least 20 years. Prosecutor Jean Southworth said the gunmen were fundamentalists whose target was Mahraj Dharshan Das, 34, who arrived in Britain in 1980 and led the breakaway Sikh sect called Shahkand Nanak Dhan, which has 7,000 followers. The plotters decided to kill him for criticizing Sikh separatists who want an independent state in India, she said. They also objected to him being called a guru. ″What stuck in the gullet of some Sikhs was that Das was not born a Sikh,″ Miss Southworth said. The prosecutor said Das traveled from his home in Birmingham to Southall in west London, 100 miles away, to address hundreds of supporters in a school. She said that as Das was about to answer questions, Batth and Sunder walked toward him. Sunder fired a sawed-off shotgun at him but missed and Batth then killed Das with a pistol shot through the back of the head. His followers ran to tackle the gunmen, and Sunder drew a silver pistol and killed Jaga Singh, 44. Batth shot wildly and killed Satwan Singh Panesar, 41. Batth, who had pleaded innocent, was convicted of murdering Das, the manslaughter of Panesar and wounding Dharan Singh Brimbrah, 53. He was cleared of murdering Panesar and of attempting to murder Brimbrah. Sunder, a factory worker, admitted taking part in the murder of Das and the manslaughter of Singh.
