This is because of cognitive dissonance. A lot of the females in our cultural background do not hold the males of our cultural background with any value. This is because of partly the "fempowerment" movement and also because they have the image of the "Asian babe" for the last couple of decades, it has given a lot of these females an inflated sense of entitlement and inflated egos. Because you were seen with a female of a different race and cultural background it creates dread in these females from our cultural background. When you are seen with a female, it creates 2 things with other females: 1. Pre-selection 2. Social Proof. It means that you have higher value and are attractive to a non Punjabi non Sikh women and this creates confusion to them because you being a Punjabi Sikh male is supposed to mean that you are an ugly hairy pervert.

Because sex is involved. It is the underlying current.

This kind of behaviour is quite common. It is the sense of entitlement these type have and they think they are better than you that they you are not worth their time. They are social climbers and will only want to be associated with you if there is something that you can offer them. I used to work with a black female colleague and I asked her how she was doing and she said , "what can i do for you?" I was asking how she was doing as a courtesy just as a person and she was startled when I said "nothing just asking how you are doing". This kind of non chalant behaviour spreads and when you start talk to people as a normal human beings they are not used to it.

The only answer to this let them feel the brunt of their actions.

Ignore them back

If female foeticide is a real problem in Punjab would there not be a shortage of brides that the bride's family would call the shots. Schools would be complaining of there being no girls in the schools. I have heard this trope for the last 30 years. Not buying it.

Your first point the sati point is that they did not want to be taken by the invader. The husband is already dead so they aren't really sacrificing their life for their husband. They are actually sacrificing themselves for their own honour and reputation than their own husbands. The second point is the exception rather than the rule. We have a tendency to see traits exhibited by 1 in 1000 women and somehow think that is how all women are. The reality is somewhat different.

One of the goals of feminism is to break up the family. The family is the glue that holds society together. Once you destroy that then society begins to unravel.

We are equal in the eyes of God because we are beneath him. It is looking at ants from our eyes. The problem with people is that they think that leadership is a privilege. It is not, it is a responsibility. As the head of the family you may have the authority but that always comes with accountability. They go hand in hand. In families there is a pecking order, the children first, the women next and then the men. Men are the sacrificial gender, why in cases of emergency do they say "women and children first". A woman will sacrifice her life for her children but never for her husband. A man will sacrifice for both. Women who take leadership from her husband do it because they are forced into it or because the man is not up to it and the woman becomes resentful of her husband.

Not had time to see the clip, but if I am correct he was sent to Singapore as a prisoner. He was the first Sikh in Singapore in 1850. Nearby where he was a prisoner is Silat Road Gurdwara. The oldest gurdwara in Singapore which was open in the 1880s I believe.

Were you aware of what your friend did at the time or did you realise afterwards?

I think the term is "honey trap"

This is a very tribal thing where one tribe attacks another, kill the menfolk and take the women. You take the womenfolk because they have reproductive value. The elderly are discarded because do not offer any value. And you kill off the children because they grow up and may take revenge or you co-opt them and brainwash them. It is a very base animal thing as you see this in the animal kingdom as well. Our Sikhi rises above this base animal ways. Which makes it hard for our quam because it feels like you have to stoop down to a lower lifeforms level.

Bani can bring suppressed emotions to the fore. I think Bhai Jagraj Singh mentioned something called Bhairag, your emotions come out because your subconscious has been longing for connection to Waheguru. The more you become spiritually aligned the more things you begin to see and feel. You feel a connection to nature and all things around you.

Ronald Reagan who was U.S. president was an actor in the 1950s. Actors make the perfect politicians because they pretend for a living.

Like I have said before, we love to blame the British for all our problems but most of the problems lies with us and our good old subcontinental mentality of backstabbing and betrayal. The British Empire conquered mostly primitive populations but the icing on the cake was conquering a more ancient and more sophisticated civilisation who should know better. Glad more posters here are realising this.

There is a thing that men and women can never really be friends in the platonic manner you ascribe to. Sex always gets in the way. When a man is a friend with a woman, his intention is not to be her "friend", it always in the intention to be something more. A woman can have many male "friends" even in a non-sexual manner because she is getting the thing a lot of women value and that is attention. Attention is their goal not sex.

If the outer walls are glass and it was re-modelled from the inside. How could it have been pulled down? Unless Segro sold that land off, I very much doubt the gurdwara owns that land. Segro has found it very difficult to occupy these office spaces and now they are using office spaces for apartment, schools, gyms. The head office for o2 is opposite the gurdwara and when they developed it, o2 spent a lot of money on it but it is leasehold. I think the gurdwara is also leasehold.

From an Indian perspective, it is a master stroke. Their goal is to keep india intact. By removing article 370, they can turn the state into a non-Muslim majority. Also note that Indian controlled Kashmir is three parts (Ladakh- mostly buddhist), Jammu - mostly Hindu and the Kashmir valley. I think the Jammu and Ladakh people's are probably fed up of those valley folk hogging up all the benefits and political power and might be grateful for this. If there is going to be insurgency (which is propped up by Pakistan) , it will be a short term hit for long term gain. It's not as if Pakistan Occupied Kashmir hasn't been swamped with non locals eg in Gilgit and Baltistan.

There is so much to see and do.Come over.

Saville being a paedo abuser was well known in the BBC. The reason Saville got away with it for so long is because he threatened to take down / expose all the other paedos in the establishment and the BBC. This is one of the things that I do not get. Some people say karma gets you in your lifetime. How did Saville not suffer for his sins in his life. Could be because of all the charity work offset all the despicable things he did. Maybe he is getting what he deserves in the afterlife.

I see what you mean: Probably a combination of factors. The plant is very easy to grow. The more liberal laws of Canada in regards to marijuana. The huge market in the US. The facilities already available amongst our people, such as the land/greenhouse to grow the stuff and the trucks to provide the logistics. The fact that marijuana has been legalised in a lot of the US states has meant that revenues are probably down for BC Bud. That is because marijuana can be grown in those US states. There has probably been a shift into other drugs to make up the shortfall. Marijuana is also seen as a gateway drug which probably creates opportunities with coke, meth etc. I believe that is what happened for Mexican smugglers. I am no expert on drugs as a good Sikh I refrain myself from even thinking about it. However, it is interesting from a business perspective. Because in the end of the day it is a business, it's just one that destroys peoples lives.

You probably need to clarify more. If you mean about the use of marijuana

No. These people are greedy. Something about the North American continent which gives you the impression of Virgin land ripe for exploitation.

Circumcision was not a thing in the US at the turn of the 20th century. It seems to have gotten more prevalent with the growing influence of Jews. Minority rule.
