Clarity. Your consciousness shifted into a different phase. What was once normal became abnormal. Well done.

Probably meant majority. Or if he did mean minority then he might have a point. The Malwa and Majha adherents are representing quite strongly, but.. I find it to be incredibly basic. Their parchaar caters to the pendu mindset; the unthinking, obedient, simple, "trust your babeh / know your place" mindset. They're loud and passionate, but they tend to discard the beauty and nuance of Sikhi. Just my opinion.

What changed after COVID? Did you get a special vaccine that killed any desire to watch and listen to Punjabi stuff? ?

Tbf, she should've said 'communism' but she's American so there's that.

Good. Start sending back some Pakistanis. There's a few Sikhs I'd like to put on the plane with them, too. Lol, seriously, as I've said many times, they start off by deporting unanimously bad characters in order to get public support, but as the years go by they use the law to get rid of political opponents. Unfortunately, this law will be used by foreign governments who'll lean on the UK to target overseas dissidents, because the UK has to go around with its begging bowl for trade and economic purposes. The recent un-personning of Russians is a taster of what's to come. Remember, they always provide a taster of what's to come. It's never an immediate switch from Off to On.

"Who understands, and knows this?" You've read that wrong, bro. They haven't contradicted themselves or made a blanket statement that everyone is ignorant of their existence. It's a rhetorical question verging on a lament commonly used in Punjabi compositions. You've heard of the phrase, "Kaun jaane?" accompanied by a throwing up of the hands at the enormity of the situation? It's something vaguely on those lines. It's not a literal statement; it's a device employed for exaggeration. Although in this particular question, "Who knows and understands this?" places the emphasis on US, the sangat, and asks which of US is cognisant of whether we realise not only that we are the drop, but also that we should, one day, merge with the ocean. Implicitly, whoever realises this truth is on the road to salvation; those who don't, I presume, will remain in ignorance.

Western Sikhs raised in this social media generation will love the return of haavan ceremonies. They can recreate their Bollywood fantasies.

You don't exist in a vacuum, do you? The labels you attach to yourself and the identity and worldview you adhere to is not unique you, is it? Without knowing you personally, I can only go on these aspects of yourself that you put out there, and I'm suggesting that your ideas tell the story, broadly speaking, of people who share your appearance and values. If you're a special boy who isn't like all the other boys, then fair play to you. You don't drink, you live quite an isolated and buttoned-down life, and you eschew female contact. You must really despise Sikhi in order not to take that next step! You're nearly there! ?

Why do you champion a religious identity that you contort yourself into knots to avoid? Wouldn't it be best to - as the old Punjabi saying goes - aapne aap nu takhe rakho? Punjabi sardari minus any sense of religiosity is synonymous with alcohol, partying, low-IQ boisterousness, and general consciousness barely above animal desires. I've seen an ungodly amount of gloriously white uncut beards and moustaches drenched in the froth of a pint of golden beer, and they've all been Punjabi sardars. At least a monah clearly signals his desire for non-conformity; a sardar straddles the dividing line of identity while pulling the wool over the eyes of everyone around him. I find that to be considerably more calculating and insidious than the blunt "don't care" attitude of monay.

Wonderful post. Did you take Amrit this Vaisakhi just gone?

Correct me if I'm out of order, but I'm getting the impression that people of Ravi Singh's worldview (Sikhs or otherwise) have created a culture where to be a "true" Sikh is to demote Sikh interests and anything else that prioritises our uniqueness, in favour of a horribly skewed self-effacement that is fed by the spiritual doctrine that we're tacitly encouraged to dilute and play-down so as not to offend those who aren't us. This has to be partly attributable to us having a non-existent powerbase, because Punjab is not that place for us.

That explains it. Very sad.

Even the staunchest critics within this narrow category still identified as Muslims, though, didn't they? Their religious vernacular was couched in Islamic terms; the symbolism and poetry they used made reference to Islamic mythology; they dressed as Muslims; they spoke whatever Islamic-tinged iteration of the local language; their exclamations to God were Islamic, and even their last rites were performed in the Islamic tradition? So why weren't they willing to LIVE the condemnations aimed at their religion that they put down into verse? And you're telling me we can't count them as Muslims? So, these personalities belonged to the second category I identified.

We also look very similar to Afghani desert dwellers. The guy on the left in the yellow parna wouldn't look out of place in any Punjabi pind during the 80s and 90s. Going back further in history, we also bear a resemblance to the Mesopotamian Akkadians: Basically, any race of men with dusky complexions and medium-length-to-uncut beards are Sikh allies, lol. Genius. ? As for persecution, there isn't a group on earth who hasn't faced persecution from someone or another throughout history. What a load of bollox from Khushwant Singh.

Atheism and Cultural Jewishness go hand in hand.

Shaheed for speaking out against Islam on purely doctrinal terms (its spiritual fallacies and frailties as a faith), or shaheed for supporting enemies of the ruling Islamic regime? History points to many, many instances where religion was used as an accepted front to persecute opponents of the political state. In your example, which one is it most likely to be minus any emotion or biases on your part?

Good thing for non-Muslims when Muslims are a minority. Otherwise, no.

Outliers sent by God to reform but whose efforts are overwhelmed by the majority. Or a slightly more cynical perspective: individuals who realise the evil and the contradictions of the religion they're born into, but are too afraid to leave or make waves against the status quo, so decide to straddle the fence by nudging for introspection whilst not making themselves enemies of the orthodoxy.

Yes, I know what you mean. It undermines the premise that what they originally conveyed as the unalterable Word of God was... altered by Man, lol. They would argue about the Old Testament being the writings of the ancient Jewish Tribes, while the New Testament was slightly more relevant, etc. They've forced themselves into a corner, and funnily enough it's something Muslims laud over them when they say, "Your religion is false because you caved into the pressure to change what you claimed was God's Word. WE Muslims will never do that, hence our religion is the only true faith." The latter proposition on the part of Muslims is philosophically bogus, because them resisting altering Islamic scripture to erase the utterly depraved aspects of it has nothing to do with its integrity as divine revelation. They presuppose it is true, and refuse to question if it may have been demonically or even Satanically derived.

Since delving into the subject of karma and reincarnation from authentic Vedic sources (not cucked Western interpretations), I have to say my theory is that Islam must be the first religion a soul must "pass through" once it leaves the joon-class of janwars and four-legged creatures (and even from demons and whatnot), and enters the class of human joons. Other religions are far from perfect, but, frig me, Islam is something else. I guess the "lesson" for the soul that a few janams born into Islam provides is to develop a rudimentary form of deference to spiritual authority (that can never be learned from a laissez-faire belief system) even if that lesson comes at the expense of the human conscience.

It's not an exaggeration or an inaccuracy to state that a thorough reading of what they claim is the Word of God, is ostensibly why their morals and their minds are in the gutter. Imagine attributing rape, paedophilia, necrophilia, slavery, and other ethically dubious human acts to divine instruction that's been sanctioned and approved by the supreme heavenly being. How much of a sinner is any genuinely believing Muslim to seriously think their "perfect" man performed and sanctioned these acts, therefore they're perfectly permissable for his followers. Apologists and islamophiles enjoy dragging Christianity into the mud by arguing that Christian scriptures contain similar directives, but these dhimmis choose to ignore something called the Reformation. On the other hand, Islam has been actively resisting any reformation for thousands of years! Like I've always said, certain individual Muslims may have performed great feats or achieved great things, but they didn't do so BECAUSE of Islam; they did it IN SPITE OF Islam. Conversely, it's hard to argue the impetus provided to certain individuals to resort to depravity and horror might have manifested itself differently had Islam not been present. Not suggesting other groups have behaved angelically, but that extra "bite" that comes with Islamic belief is almost demonic.

I've found Southern Italians and Spaniards in general to be bhainchods. It's probably that lingering Muslim blood from invasions and conversions centuries ago. ??
