Dark Light pink yellow most Punjabis in Western cities experience diffeerent nationalities daily.. Theres 20 nationalities down me rd matey i come across hindus by name but not many that practice religion. We are proud of humanity bruv Sikhi is universal if you grow up as a punjabi with certain reet rivaz it becomes likely that you will be proud of what you hold. Sometimes it takes a reflection to ask yourself should i change certain things about myself? Others you would not.. Individually tailored. no manz a clone

Punjabis have lovingly respected and embraced Indians for who they are reflected through generations of sacrifices for indians sitting in 4 corners. Be that in Moghul Era Afghan invasions British Raj and Independance and even Bangladeshes Hindu Minorities plight was not forgotten by Punjabis in 1970s. Music food sports aside! India does not have a Monoculture. It has a collection of cultures. I believe people are envious of the way Indians hold down family life success and outwardly seem happy( may or not be the case) Religion in my view nothing to do with being born in Britain bruv. You could be a jew christian whatever if your in London You experience the United Nations nowdays lol No1 has a chance to trip down Grandparents memory lane pends back .. We just crack on with life here cos this is all we seen n know.. I do not believe its about being shy.. Im born here In ENgland my Mum was born here in ENgland. My dad came when he was 10 long time ago, I only been to india 2 times in me life out of 30 odd years..not more than the space of a few weeks. Most of us cant afford to spend years living 7000 miles away discovering roots while we got bills piling up ere wel go bankrupt then bang goees grist jivan! all for nationalism? naaaah

then again after Duryodhans misdeeds it was also unfair he gifted with that armour. Id say good on ol bheem boy. Corruption in India i would say is more to do with inheriting a colonised robbed country being run by a 5% elite, systematic abusse by Heirarchy system so when crap happens they say "Challoh challoh ageh kiyah". The central part of it is the abuse by the Priestly and aristocrats who look at joe bloggs as cattle "sudra". Same way Wahabis look at us as kuffr. I could be wrong but maybe theres a racial element to it. Most Indians proper brown, did they look upto chitteh skinned people and thought its bob marley one love style? Man say jump desi asks how high? India maybe better off in a power share coallition of Martial tribes. Sound a bit racist, but if you get a despot ruler next one wont have it. The disparity between the current rulers and its laymen is sooo far that nobody cares about one mans opinion in todays India.

We are proud to tell others where we come from.Most of the Early diasporas were from villages in Punjab no SKy TV, no music box, to link to Continent, hence here and now we market Punjabi music, folk, cuisine what our ancestors left behind.. We are the children of men and women who left India very shortly after its independance, not having tasted Nationalism! It does not mean we dislike India or its lovely vibrant people. Of course we are proud of Unity of all Humans. Religion has nothing to do with it paaji. If your 3rd 4th generation athiest even your living outside, Whats a place 7000 miles other side of earth going to give you ?? It just so happens a 3rd 4th generation ENglish migrant in America will call himself american. In Britain we are not ENglish but are a part of British culture and the mainstream society that has contributed to Post War britain from bombed out war sites in the Blitz, Sikhs like others contribiuted to the buzz. I would love to visit Different parts of India.. I felt this amazing connection in Dehra doon a place near the big dam, untouched beautiful mountains, serene. But i get that same feeling in some of Britains old relic places and untouched coastlines and Welsh mountains. Should i then be proud of being a WOrld citizen? of course, because eventually globalisation lots of migration means folk will always be on the move. Countries will not remain as we knew of them. Home is where the heart is. London Lucknow Lyalpur Lisbon Lahore

I am proud of being a British Indo Punjabi Sikh, This is where im Born and spent 30 something years. Not being english does not mean i have no roots! Bhangra - hindi fusion a bit too soft for my liking. We Outside have nothing against Indians and share lots of common ground. It just so happens that we have Distinct Identity and Conciousness that is ever present in here and now.

Indian states have different cultures. South Indians dislike North Indians imposing Hindi in conversations. Seen freshy bust ups in internet cafes over it lol. I enjoy Rajhastani, Veg West Bengal Cuisine, but find South Indian mirch masseleh like volcanoe, gujrati food tiny portions not enough for horse! But if you sit a Panjabi family in a gujrati restaurant how are we meant to know whats what? Indians and Pakistanis do not market Restaurants very well when they label it "Indian". Its not separatist to say which State the food comes from. If they did both Indians and Outsiders appreciate the different cultures of India better. I now am liking Rajhastani culture, dance, twirled moucha, big turbans and castles..The distinctive traits stand out. It does not mean all of india is like that..So then what is culture? How can we be proud of soft romanticised Hindi Music ending with fantasies 7000 miles away? Practical people listen to practical music fit for the time and place. What makes Indian culture? if its tolerance celebration love for diversity then you will find most of us are up for it. But Hindi is not the language of a Punjabi or Bengali. It is not more civilised it just does not sound as blunt.. Hindi Media films are based in Mumbais ELite community. What do they have to do with the average joe hanaa? when Indians kept their ancient side, anyone would love it. When theres soo much change upheavel colonisation, moving into the modern age,though the shift has been great for empowering women, yet its sad to see Indians loose their heritage. If there was a Rani Jhansi today every Diaspora person would celebrate her.

btw everyone sits in one room in my relatives now. Praaneh jumaneh di yaadh ohndi c

before 1984 or after, The punjabi language I speak ive inherited from My Grandparents who were born before partition. Their villages had Sikhs Hindus and Muslims (muslims are now in Pakistan).. The Sikhs Hindus stayed behind. That style of Punjabi is not understood by our Hindu Veers from South or East of India. When we had relatives over the men sat in one room women in another. Its neither good or bad, yet different. The Style of Punjabiat my Forebears follow they say a word and stand by it till their blue in the face or dead. Some call it a generation thing, but i see the same in my uncles who are not even into Sikhi. It does not mean i consider myself special or higher. We love and respect everyone. But that the Reeht Rivaaz rehni behni we have is different from other States. I do not feel i am better at anything or less. In fact I have relativees in Delhi Haryana Chandigarh Rishikesh and Dehra Doon, so its not like we are uneducated in how others live. There is affinity with certain folk. But i would say more farkh. It does not have to be negative. Due to the imprint of Punjabi asool in my family, that influence stands out stronger than anything else even after 4 generations in UK> I would say Im Punjabi British. I have no disregard for India or its people, we lovingly embrace everyone. I would love to discover Tamil East Indian Assamese Maharashtran rajahstani Nepalese culture and history.. But that does not mean i am Nepalese or Assamese or gujrati. Maybe its because most of our families came from Old School Punjab straight into aa WHite Mans land without Nationalist Feelings for India as a whole i dont knoww. But its enough to say some like Nationalism Inclusiveness others are happy as they are and it dont mean we have differences burning inside.

One of my english workfriends also said that English majority are now unknowingly served halaal in supermarkets.. Weird world! British Turko Cypriots are here since the 1950s running Fish n Chip shops, English cafes selling pork. 20 30 years later Boatloads of Refujees from somalia banglas paks move in dictate what they touch and dont?? If you dont hear em they call you racist! Sub Continental muslim stuck in their own world Luton Brick Lane Bradistan leeds City Ring rd... Mediteranean Muslims Persians Ealing Hackney Tottenham Lewisham including older Pathan communities in Britain are pleasantly mixing well with white black chinese. Its unfair on older matured muslim communities that they have to carry weight of newbies. No1s saying its ok to break religious injunctions. But older wiser communities have the common sense not to cause obstruction in an other peaceful place that is bending over backwards. Its not like you can go to Pakistan Kashmir or Potohar with 2 million African Christians baby booming and open up 2000 churches, hanaa? Eventually the Newbies are gonna run into trouble and the majority community are going to use higher ground education system media and a very open plan society to challenge the concepts of backward hillbillies. Mass media frenzy..

I smell bs peloh praah nuvumbr mahini ch rakhri rope? rewind to romeo? khera calander comprehendo? Eh bhiggereyoh logh badnaam aap hoy logha nu kharvaakeh soch deh dharam di himmat hosslaah tulleh jhaow? to protect the Izzat of a muslim sister we will always uphold the same values as that of our own. Sikh dharam will appeal to the World in an era where others have reached their zenith. Sikh Woman be EMpowered _/\_

WHy would Waheguru not love you jio? Waheguru Nurtures everyone even kingdoms below above are looked after. If that is not love what is? You are what you feel ji If you are dead or alive so long as you keep loving and reciting do not worry about word "denial" . However many janams it takes it is what it is out of your hands. If we died tomorow we gotto face where we have to go. Be it hell heaven or here. Bhenji think of all the Premi revered who lovingly tread the Earth Like Bhai Gurbaksh Singh now, History Sant Mahapurkh, Bhai Sahibs, Akali Phula SInghs, even outside SIkhi, Abdul Ghaffar Khan ( Afghans Ghandi), beloved martyrs of the world white black brown sikh hindu muslim christian..

dunno but hes been cosher with me for like 5 years. I aint bothered if someone was a hindu before.. or Christian before and turned into a Hindu. Its what the person is now, and how their conduct is with me. If their cool im cool. If its a pee take, dont waste time.. No point being bhenji paaji in a world full a stereotypes. Dhulla bhatti was a rajput Muslim and did some noble deeds for hindu women. He fought the moghul empire too hanaa

conditioning naal ghall bandi. Fedor now retired lost a few towards the end. His documentaries showed the effort he put in to pull off some good wins. I didnt like old Naseem Hameds antics much but he made a good observation in the Froch v Groves fight, that he got up after being banged out and carried on the way Naseem did in his prime like two hearts beating in one body at the same time. Race has no meaning. I remember 2 of the Bhassi Brothers in London fought some legendary battlles one on street and the other inside prison system. The numbers that went down were spectaculaar too.behind that was decades of hard conditioning, mental toughness and facing National front skinheads in one of the most Racist Haunts of the time.

One of my Croatian friends started as a a student of Vedic Dharm. Spent 8 years in RIshikesh Dhera Dun and parts of UP. he had interaction with lots of Bihari Aghori Sadhus.. It would be nice to see what East and South India is like. Looks colourful in the pics.

Grown up in London all nationalities up here mate..white black or brown. Some folk are just more ruthless. Everything grow closer you now get shady individuals play the system like smooth operators. You dont need muscles for that. But you should always learn self defence. Some in Punjabi community who put things down to genetics, all i can say is you get wimps and hardmen in same family structures.. Anakh and simple living breed good habits. Seen some amazing spirit from lots of different communities.. One of my workfriends is a thrice migrated Mauritian french guy whos ancestors from Bihar. Guys about 5 foot tall, skinny, assertive, confident, cocky when he gets in a row he either finishes it or plays it dark till its in his favour.. Thats the thing in this world now people look upto Tacticians who carry themselves in a certain manner.. muscle power is getting common, lads on steroids or powders yeh from a distance you admire a physique but then when you hear a squeeky voice come out you think yaar ah ki hoyah? Another workfriend is ENglishman Army Veteran Parachuters Reg served over in Ireland, Falklands, Cyprus, from a family tradition of Warfare, but a 3 month baby cat has softened him up, haha..

A Punjabi Pak at work stated per one record showed "Singh" in his ancestors name claiming Rajput Bhatti ancestry, that his Forefathers migrated from Rajhastan India. Young well versed in history confident in who he was. The topic arose from DHulla Bhatti vaar. he did not mention SIkhi to me.

Khair jo hoya average citizens we dont know whats what to this case. Bhai Jagraj Singh Faujdar de Vichar dekhlavoh viroh. boht dhiaan na duniaa di halaat dekh ke challoh.

as far as im concerned 2 world wars, 432, 000 seriously maimed injured, 83, 000 sacrifices to be ignored! Our Singhs fought against Germans who Now run EU mafia! We got jack squat. Dont fight for others. Focus within. Your energy is needed for your own community.

Bad news! Causes more Racial Tension! Uneducated chitteh start taking the law into their own hands just sporadically at present! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-24614280 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2333199/Police-rush-home-hate-preacher-Anjem-Choudary-protect-family-threats-blames-Camerons-crusade-turning-young-Muslims-terror.html The backlash leaves Ethnic Minorities especially Women and elderly more vulnerable outside London. Poor Old Mohammed Saleem RIP could have been me or you, with the killers intention of starting "race war"! Sikhs Hindus Muslims Blacks Asians Minorities see the world in a different way. We have relatives of diverse skin pigments in same family trees. Unpahr chitteh in sharply divided Race demographic areas hill billy territory see Chaudhwees colour. They see the same skin on us. It feeds ignorance further.

Punjabi Sikhs have a twin heritage. Sikhism and Punjabiat ( cutting the negative maya out)... Other East Indian cultures theres an empty void that doesnt have much past a colonial history. You got Singhs, with the whole real thing, shine like Bling n King, others cringe n whinge! Empty vessels who cant wrestle, Even if they half fill, they still not chill, Souls with no goals! They can bark in the dark with no history mark! Wear your bhaana proud, keep your boli loud.

what i learnt from an Interaction with Jugraj Singh is whatever you put into your life will flow out. A dude of that calibre who accepts others for who they are is what you need in GurGhars. Inspiration to Youth to start with.

Street Reality - my experiences never had beef from Kurds/Cypriots. Not a Pipsqueek!! Atmosphere = Collective! Im EThnic, their Ethnic Black Mans EThnic in ENglishmans territory. Never had this "Them V Us" unless i travelled to High density Sub Continental Asian muslim areas. Cant speak of the arabs cos i aint met any! Push come to shove stick to our own! Make the Judgement call!. BUT at this stage and in my life i aint seen many Turks Cypriots Kurds live with Lots of Sikhs. But there are loads of mauritian hindus, Buddhist chinese, gujratis and english Pagans n christians up ere! n They seem to crack on like a house on fire with Turks! One of me joint heritage Turko- Arab mates done a civil marriage to a Mauritian Hindu girl 8 years 3 kids no conversion. Big dude got many a girl on his case nah geez aint having it happily settled! Another of my Turk Cypriot mates put it bluntly " we did all the shyte quarter way round the world killing raping marching like we owned it. What did we learn nothing? Destruction! We look upto Sikhs and Indians for they have internal peace and respect life" ( he did not say Pakistanis, or muslims). Ive not asked for anything but got respect for who I am, so obviously i return it! the day it comes with a condition and a defining line is the day i will mark this "them v us". I aint seen any Cypriot or Kurd Preachers kicking off with non muslims in ENgland. I aint heard of any Persian Grooming gangs in Ealing! What I have seen is a lot of integration on the parts of British Cypriots Kurds opening ENglish cafes serving english cuisine breaking their own halal conditions. Plenty of Piss heads amongst em, Mini Skirts, Non Muslim geezas married to their girls, that might not be a positive example of mixing but mixing nontheless it is! But you dont see that in Aston Alum Rock Sparkhill Srinagar or Bradistan Bruvzi! Thats the difference!! You got plenty of asian Muslims from backward hilly billy mindsets with Inferiority complex doing the full monty. Some of the others have matured, got T Shirt aint proud of it, and wanna evolve. Edited 13.59pm Thats why they ( Potoharis Mirpuris zeolots) dont just go after Sikhs but also Indo Punjabis who they see as pagan cattle. But Ask any literate persian or Turk and he will likely share affinity with Punjabis look for common ground One of my persian workmates from ealing can even tell Punjabis and Gujratis apart.

cheers bro! I thanked Bhai Jugraj Singh for the vid lots of love to him for inspiring us. He is said its Guru Sahibs Kirpa that day.
