Hukamname, mostly, but also various commentaries (written or spoken) on gurbani authored by sants, kathavachaks, etc., over the years.

Not when our religious edicts dictate who is and who isn't an apostate.

Being Jewish in the 21st century is more likely to be an expression of communal identity and practices -- an identity that's been forged through their various historical tribulations -- than any overt adherence to Jewish theology. Jewishness has almost become a synonym for describing a race and a culture than limiting itself to solely the followers of a religion. The one important point that needs to be highlighted is this: you will very, very rarely see a person of Jewish extraction work against Jewish interests, even if that person is irreligious, atheist, or agnostic. They realise that their various expressions of Jewishness, which is used to further their collective Jewish aims, is fundamental for the survival and prosperity of their people. Basically, they know when to tow the Jewish line for the sake of their people; there's a loyalty to that indescribable sense of Jewishness that transcends the teachings of the Talmud, the Torah, etc.

Make Bollywood Hindu Again. ?

It's even more intense in Punjab. There's full-on fights, feuds, and disownment in the same family when someone decides to marry another Sikh who isn't from the same caste, even when the disputed caste is more observant of Sikh practices and traditions than the side who's getting all hot and bothered, lol. It's not necessarily about higher or lower caste; just different.

Yes, amrit-dhari since my teens. It works for me.

That's gay. ? Nevermind sardar, I'm the full 9 yards! BOLE...

Mid-30s. Like I said, I'm an old soul. I've never been around older people, so I've not picked up habits or second hand opinions from others, which is what usually happens in some cases. My opinions arise from my own observations as well as my admittedly subjective experiences, not through brainwashing or overbearing elders and their occasionally outdated beliefs.

I'm not 70, lol, I was pulling your leg. I'm not much older than you. I've always considered myself an old soul. Others would argue I'm a [censored]ole! ?

Rehnde, bhraava! Unpadhe lokka nu ni chamliye da. ?

Great post, bro. I've got a paat I must attend, lol, but you've identified some highly salient arguments that tie in with a few thoughts I've been mulling over in recent years. I'll try to give you my take on this discussion in a while.

It's a process of continual learning. The journey isn't over yet. Keep chipping away.

Diligently read many murder stories (or watch stuff like Murder She Wrote or Columbo) where a helpless and desperate husband plots and executes the murder of his unfeeling harridan of a wife. Take notes if you must. Then devise your own particular plan, taking into account your unique situation and needs. The trick is not to get caught. The great thing is you won't ever be arrested, because Columbo doesn't exist, but more importantly your plan will need be perfect at every step of the way, else the most plodding of police detectives will be capable of devising a case against you. Then sit back and play the dutiful husband in mourning for as long as you deem appropriate. Just make sure your parents don't talk you into another arranged marriage; the second murder might begin to seem a little suspicious. DISCLAIMER: THE ABOVE IS PURELY FOR THE PURPOSES OF HUMOUR. DO NOT MURDER YOUR WIFE.

I can appreciate why you'd say such a thing. I'm, for better or worse, a firm believer of the mystical and divine as it relates to Sikhi, and I always have been of this frame of mind from a very young age, yet after reading up on other groups and races throughout history who've categorically achieved "more" than us in a temporal sense for the long-term benefit and prosperity of their own kind, most - if not all - of these groups managed such feats without a guiding religious doctrine or even a concrete belief in anything beyond the strength of their own actions and convictions. One would think a group backed by the truly divine guiding hand would have something greater to show for their achievements when compared to all the base, man-made philosophies on which the foundations of other cultures and races were established. Yes, the immediate defence would be to suggest, "But there are greater things in God's kingdom than are to be found on Earth," which is baffling considering all the bloodshed, the suffering, and the sacrifices are made here for... what purpose exactly?

Were they not just surviving from one day to the next with little thought of anything beyond immediate, local issues? Does that kind of far-sightedness ring true as the kind of sentiment that comes naturally to us to that particular extent? I think it's a slightly romanticised re-telling of the past.

My opinions have shifted slightly from my original take on the situation. I'm trying to get my head around these particular concepts at the moment, lol, in as much as attempting to relate these philosophies to my personal experiences. My tentative take on this subject is whatever happens, somehow we're always on the back-foot. The fact that there are these clearly delineated "rules" for something so wondrous and immeasurable, it doesn't ring true with me.

I wouldn't be surprised if Modi and his advisers are deliberately shipping over infiltrators and saboteurs to undermine the burgeoning Sikh political movement in Canada; the enemy within. India definitely isn't pleased about Sikhs gaining such political prominence in the West, and therefore drawing attention to the Indian establishment's misdemeanours as they relate to Sikhs. Black Cats 2.0 might be on the horizon. If, in 10 or so years, we end up in a situation where guys like Jagmeet Singh have completely faded from the spotlight due to communal infighting and political betrayals, you better your bottom dollar Indian agents had something to do with it.

Some might argue he's just as "dirty." It takes two to... dirty things up, lol. I'd suggest OP to take a step back from it all, including from his lady love. If she truly is meant to be his, she won't mind while he sorts his head out.

"Jagsaw cries out in pain as he strikes you." I see the classic Jagsaw trope of suggesting mental illness in his opponent when all else that fails has been deployed. The remainder of your bitter rant is classic projection. Again, you've inadvertently revealed more about your own damaged psychology in your attempt to take down your opposite number. At this point you're just throwing everything possible at the wall, hoping some of it sticks. I'm sure the mods could provide you with the necessary stats to resolutely prove that I certainly have never, "been continuously logged on as a user day and night almost continuously for the last many years." Again, desperate projection. Also, lmao at the idea that one needs to physically be situated before a computer to post on a forum. You may be stuck in 1997, but the rest of the population have moved onto these things called smartphones that allow people to post their thoughts from anywhere at anytime... even during working hours! Do you have a physical disability which explains why you're on this forum 24/7 whilst everyone is at work? You're a disingenuous fraud. I don't need to go any further, because there's nothing I could possibly say that's as damaging to you as what goes on in that strange little head of yours, you sad little freak. Finally, I don't believe you're a Muslim; I've never alluded to that possibility in the slightest. I believe you've eaten the joot of Muslims (amongt other things), but I know you're a Sikh, and that makes your lifelong attempts at whatever it is you're doing on this forum all the more intriguing. I've got your number. No letting up from now on.

They all look the same to me. ?

Veer ji, I've come to the point where unless these white activist causes and organisations don't name the true root of the problems afflicting their race and their countries -- and instead choose to blame liberalism or Islam and Muslims for all that's wrong with the world -- I switch off. If they can't be honest, then I'm not interested. Sure, one could argue it's not expedient to name the puppet master in these times, but what can be done to them if millions of people came together as one? They can't all be imprisoned or destroyed.

His entire MO and reason for being on this forum is to subvert and undermine. It's ironic those coming out in support for Jagsaw are the very people he holds with disdain the most. He relies on you being less informed and unwilling to challenge his ideas, for reasons of indifference and apathy, to allow him to peddle his nonsense. He's good value for a laugh, though, in as much as observing his reach consistently falling well short of his grasp. One thing I do begrudgingly enjoy seeing is his inadvertent ability to stitch himself up time and time again. Watching him contradict himself and forget the lies he's told in the past in order to sell a textured and convincing backstory for himself in the present, is always a particular source of delight. He can't even keep his own fictional biography straight! He's the desi Walter Mitty; Watanbir Mattu.

He won't be basking in the glow of adulation when his grandchildren will be forced to do the same decades into the future. Just convert now. It'll be less painful. ?
