Take the initiative and start something yourself. It could be the beginning of something special that could impact thousands of Sikh women in similar situations.

Apart from the PC there is also the fact that the west knows that Indians especially the ruling classes are very insecure and need endless amounts of flattery in order to get them to do the west's bidding. The west needs India to buy it's goods and services and to use India's cheap labour. In essence India is still a colony of the west as the west like the British rulers before 1947 use India as a supplier of raw materials (and labour) and then sell the value added goods and services to the Indian consumer.   India's population at the moment is it's biggest advantage as the west needs India's consumers for its goods and services...

Very true. The Indian middle-to-upper classes have an over inflated opinion of themselves and their standing in society, which isn't surprising considering that's true in western countries, too. The problem as it manifests in India is the insidious propaganda peddled by the Indian state in its education system from a very young age: Mera Bharat Mahan, etc., when even the most apparently upwardly mobile and sophisticated Indian urban dwellers struggle to comprehend how thoroughly they've brainwashed by the state. Like certain Pakistanis they cannot tolerate any criticism of their homeland and its past. The Indians aren't above rewriting their own history in order paint a fantasy picture of their achievements, whilst undermining the minority cultures and faiths that make up India who they consider to be a thorn in their side, a prime example being Sikhs. We've buckled, if Punjab is any indication. It's a shame, because if the events of the 80's had been handled slightly differently by those who were at the vanguard of change, we could've had India on the ropes at minimum.

Their mothers or their mothers' brothers? ?

Jeez these are getting ridiculous 

Most of these people are probably laughing out aloud when making these topics, lol. It's actually quite amusing satire that shines a light on where our priorities are as believers.

Does the phrase "bad a55" sound like a phrase that's suitable to use to describe Baba Ji? I know what it means, but for the love of God, it sounds utterly retarded.

He'd have had a greater chance of success if he'd had the brains to formulate an elaborate plan by staging a fake break-in during the middle of the night, during which he could've claimed his parents were bludgeoned to death by a burglar. Of course, it would've been difficult to explain why he was left alive unless he somehow seriously injured himself to throw suspicion off his own actions and get sympathy for being the lone survivor. Another possible scenario is if he'd been away at university, and hired someone to perform the deed. I still believe the police investigation would've eventually uncovered his involvement, but the bomb idea was always destined to be idiotic. Really stupid. 

The fact that he wanted to kill his parents from a distance says to me that he was determined to see them dead, but lacked the cold killer instinct to get his hands dirty.

India is piles of RUBBISH and filthy slobbyness everywhere! I could end up getting like 10 forms of cancer just by gazing upon a spec of grass....My God!

Plus its just a mess and i hate animals because they traumatise me by their alien features, i feel like im in a nightmare everytime i go there. Then i have to get some therapy off the internet or somehing when i get back home from such a terrifying experience! 

 

Plus im allergic to like 12 different things, so going there would be like living hell.

It's not that bad, lol. You've just to got to be canny when visiting. 

I wonder how much of the West's wilful misrepresentation of India - partly, I'm certain, as a misguided form of political correctness - has lead to naive Westerners making their way over there, only to realise the reality does not mesh with the Indian tourist board fantasies projected to people over here. Funnily enough, all pretences of India being a society that doesn't teeter on the edge of poverty and injustice is abandoned when reports of a gang rape or two make international headlines. That's when the finger wagging begins.

why would it be so hard to believe it ? they bombed a gurdwara in Germany ...

It defies logic. Targeting one or two people instead of the usual mass casualty event would point to a personal dispute, and suspicion would eventually fall on family. ISIS aims to inspire fear through their attacks by attracting a large enough audience for their escapades. That happens by staging attacks in hubs of western society, not a random middle-aged Sikh couple in the Black Country. I shouldn't have to explain these things.

Birmingham, mmmhh let me guess  

Yes, but it would've been difficult to swallow that Muslim terrorists would target another minority community with a car bomb; it's such an intimate and specific way of killing someone. Even a semi-competent police investigation would've discovered the truth eventually. I struggle to believe he actually thought he'd escape scrutiny. Love scrambles the brain, lol.

Whatever led to the major brainwave this id!ot had, to believe that a car bomb bought of the web no less was the solution, only God knows.

He probably watched a few too many episodes of Columbo, and assumed he'd get away with it considering there'd be no genius police lieutenant to solve the crime. 

I'd like to know who he was planning to blame for the explosion if the plan had worked.

It did make me giggle, just questioning whether it needs to be clearly spelled out when we might have impressionable younger readers.

I agree. It's not a word I use in my everyday life, but this guy who got caught trying to explode his parents is the definition of one of "those."

The F word is apt in this particular situation. He went to a grammar school, too. We live in a post-educated society, lol.

Yeas, sexual matters might be referred too, as well as the use of psychotropic pharmacopoeia. People need to throw off the prudery of Victorian protestant values they've imbibed and become more worldly. 

I'm not gonna start smoking weed, bro, no matter how much it's dressed up in fancy words. Ain't happening. ?

Lao bhog Har Rai?

Btw, generally speaking, what would be the closest English word or phrase for bhog in this particular context? Blessed?

I don't think Durga Devi will be too interested in throwing people down stairs or punching a toddler in the face. She has bigger things on her plate.

Some are badly behaved and annoying. I wouldn't blame her.

He doesn't mean using the kirpan in game, he means that keeping the kirpan on person.

Oh right. So it should've been "playing football wearing a kirpan." I understand.

I wouldn't play football with a kirpan. It's disrespectful and dangerous. Just use a football.

So has Bhai Ranjit Singh definitely switched camps?

It's just, well, a little difficult to take any moral lessons from an anecdote which advocates executing someone for a misdeed, which granted, goes against tenets of the faith, but in no way warrants a shoot on sight policy.

Whilst I don't doubt the sant in question would've shot any transgressing Singh, I think we're judging his actions from our somewhat limited comprehension of spiritual matters. I'm not a sycophant who explains away the misdeeds of religious men, but in this case I can detect the logic in the sant's attempt at drilling this issue into his men. I don't know what that says about me, lol, but there it is. There's the old trope of the unforgiving, some might say cruel religious / spiritual instructor who undertakes his duties of instruction and discipline to extremes that normal people would find unpalatable, but then I don't think following the path is ever meant to be a walk in the park. Maybe there are some things that are beyond our understanding of good and evil.

Thanks.

I'd like to read the remainder of the story. 

Some people treat this forum like a personal blog at times. 

In response to the now edited topic, why are Sikhs so eager to escape the consequences of their actions? When the full force of their choices are bearing down on them, then talk switches to forgiveness and Dharamraaj. Where was this wisdom and desire for divine leniency when someone else was on the receiving end?
