    Cricket did not really take off in India until world cup victory in 1983, before then it was hockey.

    Sikhs on Mars? I am sure that Jagsaw already has relatives there and made a few visits by shuttle craft.

    Neo I am familiar with zikr, though I wonder if this was developed inspite of islam not because of it. You are correct about Punjabi culture being far richer in the past instead of the gandh you have now.

    Neo Many muslims are affected by arabiyat, for them to take the guru's message would mean in their minds that they would cease to become muslim and not follow their prophet. I remember watching the Basics of Sikhi's Jugraaj Singh's discussion with Dawah man and I saw how Jugraaj Singh followed the Guru's example and used analogies of naam simran and told Dawah to recite the 99 names of Allah and do jaap on them in the morning. It was interesting to see Dawah Man's body language and you could see the jot/noor in him ignite but then he had to snap himself out of it and he was harping on about the retorical devices. We all have the capability of evolving spiritually, it's just we have not had that switch activated within us, some people are afraid of it too. One of the things about Sikhi is that everyone says if we do something wrong it is punjabi culture. The ironic thing is Sikhi came out of Punjab, there must be either something good about Punjab for Sikhi to be born or Sikhi came out of Punjab as Punjab needed it the most. There are other times I think, why did Guru Nanak Dev Ji have to be born in Punjab, if he was born somewhere else, Sikhi would have flourished far more because Punjabi folk are a peculiar bunch, we don't appreciate what is right under our noses and go for inferior stuff which is further away. Like Graham Hancock says , "the human race has collective amnesia", we Sikhs have collective amnesia. Apologies to everyone for my incoherent waffling.

    N30 Unfortunately the majority of muslims will not follow this, they follow the Quran and the sunnah

    We Sikhs are a naive bunch

    Last I saw a Turban wearing Sikh male in a romantic setting with a Gori was in "The "English Patient" and it won a few oscars as well.

    You only hear about interfaith harmony and community cohesion when muslims are involved. Relations between muslims and the majority non-muslims is not great, relations within muslim communities are not great either.

    What's more, the Gandhi family roots are from Kashmiri Pandits. These are the same people who came to Guru Tej Bahadur ji, these are the people Guru Tej Bahadurji shaheeded himself for. Nehru for some reason created the Article 370 in his state of origin and his own people have been kicked out of the valley and are living in refugee camps. How can a Brahmin dominated country treat their own fellow brahmins so poorly.

    ASKhalsa1 The only thing exotic about these coconut Asian girls is their blue contact lenses and the light brown highlights.

    I remember watching one of those ancestory documentaries with Gurinder Chadha and she went to Kenya. One of her great-uncles/relatives had relationship with an african lady which I believed resulted in a child. Her eyes lit up all of a sudden and she was determined to find this long lost relative. This woman is obsessed with inter-racial relationships, but I can imagine that she was secretly hoping that it should gave been one of her female relations with an african guy. Even better for her would have been a female relative running away from her evil patriarchal abusive father where she ran off with an african lady in a lesbian relationship. I think there needs to be a mockumentary made about Coconut Asians who could not give two hoots about their background and heritage who suddenly discover their roots when the white media outlet they have been sucking up to show an interest in Asian culture.

    Good that you brought this up. She plays up to the white middle-class guardianista/NottingHill/Islington/NewLabour/leftwing/champagne socialist/BBC/Channel4/Sunny Hundal/BBCAsian Network Nihal crowd The more Sikh/Hindu males are shown as oppressive the more accepted sexually Sikh/Hindu females will appear to be. They want to turn the Sikh/Hindu girls into the subcontinental version of"me love you long time" east Asian girls you see. That particular ilk will never show Muslim females with Sikh/Hindu male because for all the right on, pro feministic, anti-misogyny view point they have, they are actually afraid of the real misogynists in the muslim lobbying community. Gurinder Chadha is a one trick pony, she knows what works to grab the attention of the white middle class Notting Hill/Islington set as they run the media.

    Very interesting ISingh Air India is the worst airline I have been on, Jet on the other hand is one of the best. Amritsar was very good for Sikhs that lived on the West Coast of USA/Canada bevause Singapore Airlines used to fly to Amritsar via Singapore. Would not be surprised if the Dilli Billi lobby consist of Hindu Punjabi khatri Arya Samaji types. There needs to be analysis done on the psyche of these types as Hindu Punjabi Khatris can be very anti-Sikh (no surprise that the Hindu Punjabi Khatris make up the majority of Bollywood). Just have to make do with Borat Airlines

    I have known a couple of these incidences. Usually it is with a wife's younger sister.

    I would like to see more direct flights. I remember flying with Jet Airways from Heathrow to Amritsar (took just over 7 hours). Within half hour after leaving the airport, I was in the pind. Very convenient. Within 12 hours, I arrived to my destination, door to door.

    JKV So Sikhs represent a threat of dismantling of the caste/varna system which Brahmins are the main beneficieries. It represents empowerment of the individual from whatever level of the social strata they come from, whereas the caste system segments society and brings a helplessness and fatalistic mentality that if you should accept your role/social status that you were born into. For over one thousand years, India was ruled by Muslims and then the British. What was the behaviour of the Brahmins during this time, what tactics did they use as a survival mechanism. How did they maintain their apex in the caste hierarchy, how did they cope with millions of their co-religionists leaving hinduism?
  20. Ranjeet01
    I was wondering if we could do some analysis on the mindset of the Brahmin. For some reason, Brahmin hierarchy sees the Sikhs as a threat. I think that we as Sikhs do not notice things about ourselves that non-Sikhs do. When a brahmin sees a Sikh, what is his/her perception of us? What kind of things does he/she about us that they find threatening? What do they have to gain by trying to put down Sikhs?

    Very difficult to represent Sikhs if you are a Sikh MP whose constituents are non-Sikh. Sometimes Non-Sikh MPs do a better job to represent Sikhs than Sikh MPs. What we really require are more effective lobbying from the likes of Sikh federation, but it is a step in the right direction as they are thinking more strategically. MPs by nature are only interested in maintaining their seats so they are very short-sighted in their thinking. We need to think long term and built grass roots Sikhi from the bottom upwards which is what we are beginning to do.

    Jagsaw if you stand for parliament, you'll have my support!

    Is their condition going to improve by becoming Christian? Is this not a form of welfare dependency by being offered bribes by foreign NGO backed missionaries? What happens the foreign NGO turns off the welfare tap? Like Desmond Tutu once said, "They came with bible and we had the land, we ended up with the bible and they hadthe land"
  25. Ranjeet01
    What happens in Punjab will affect the rest of India. For all the so called cunning and wilyness of the brahmin, they have proven to be the most short-sighted of all. Like I said before, the assets of the foreign NGO's that support the missionary activities need to be frozen. Cut out their funding, then the indian missionaries will be like headless chickens.Where are the baniyas with all their money handling skills when we need them?
