What do you think of Birmingham hosting the games. As a brummie I don't think it's a good choice. Birmingham has an image of crime, failed multiculturalism and is a semi islamified city. Also its a waste of money, pakistanis will take all the jobs.
If that's the case, there's no need to fear a terrorist attack at such a high profile public event. Not crapping on your own doorstep and all that. Silver linings. ?

I hope these traditions and ways never fade away with the passage of time. It's all such an integral part of what made us who we are. One doesn't have to be a part of the group / jatha to feel an affinity for tradition.

Never trust organisations like the BBC when they get involved in these issues. I wonder which Asian Network presenter they'll rope in, tie an orange rumaal around his / her head, so they can waffle on about the Punjabi harvest festival, with nary a mention of the specific events of that day.

VeerJi, I'm sorry to hear about your state Ji. I myself am 17 as well. I go through phases of severe, severe depression as well that started when I was about 14. One thing I've noticed is that when you come into Sikhi at a very young age, you will most likely get hit by depression quite quickly due to the fact you finding out everything everyone is doing at your age is not actually the way you should be living your life and that everything you planned for the future (in terms of your aims in life) are not exactly what this life's aim should be as per Sikhi. For example, your main aim in life may've been to be as a multi-millionaire and live in the biggest house and all that jazz whereas our Gurus tells us "Gobind Milan Ke Eho Tere Baariya". Guru Arjan Dev Ji tells us clearly that nothing else is of use to you and that only this life is here to go and meet Vaheguru Ji. And yes as with any journies there will be obstacles... many, many. If I was to travel from where I live in London to let's say Durham there are many obstacles I will face Ji. Fatigue from about a 5 hours drive. Getting hungry. Might start to get very dark and foggy as you head up north. Fatigue whilst driving which can be very dangerous. But then I would ask myself... why am I making all these sacrifices and is it really worth me going? Is Durham special and important enough for me to make such a travel all the way there? And now take out Durham and replace that Vaheguru Ji. And all those problems which I listed above; replace them with: being very tired from waking up at Amritvela, getting frustrated at fighting constantly and controlling Panj Chor EVERY second, stopping yourself from harming others (through committing deeds like swearing, thinking fouly of others, thinking others are below you, doing nindhya of them), battling to look different when every boy around you has a cut hair and you feel like you look so different when you have long hair and a dastaar when you want to look like everyone else but then you realise you were the chosen one by Vaheguru Ji to wear his ultimate crown of kes Ji. Those sacrifices mean nothing when you think about what you get at the end. You get Vaheguru Ji. The ultimate gift Ji.
Your deeds are monitored like everyones are Ji. You think you're bad... you don't even know the meaning of the word. But our Gurus armed us with tools strong that the urge to commit these deeds. They gave us naam jap to keep on doing all day everyday so we stop our mind wondering to other things that may increase our "deed count" as such and keep our mind in Vaheguru Ji. They gave us bani, again so we can speak to Vaheguru Ji daily and listen to their messages within the nitnem to see what we should be doing for that day. We have sewa so that we can kill our ego and through that we can lose ourselves and find Vaheguru Ji. These tools are far greater than anything; let's use them Ji and fight this battle together as brothers of Guru Ji. I got your back, VeerJi. Don't think you're alone. And that's for everyone that may read this. I don't care who or what you are Ji - I am your slave and I will try to help you as much as I possibly can Ji.
First thing to do with any event or problem or task or anything in your life is to do ardaas and put Guru Ji first. Then get to work on whatever Karaj (affair/work/task) you have to do and Guru Ji will help you through that. It's hard when your low and down and out, I get you Ji. But use those tools Guru Ji gave us and stick to them with the utmost faith that they will eventually show us the way out of the low mood we may be in now to that Chardi-Kala they take promise us. Just like the way Guru Angad Dev Ji picked up Guru Amar Das Ji and gave them the gurgaddi when they fell over because of the service and faith they had in their Guru, the same way you are the daas that has fallen over and now Guru Ji has picked you up and started you off again and they continue to do that Ji. Every time you fall, imagine you've been picked back up straight away. Your Guru has picked up and so carry on again walking this path Ji. Don't look back; your Guru is standing there so you have no need to worry about support. Guru Ji is with you always.
I hope that helped you, VeerJi. I feel as though that could've been written a lot better and there are many, many mistakes in there however I hope you can see the main message in there and that you don't feel so alone or helpless walking this path Ji. Feel free to message me bro. Whenever you need to talk let me know through a message Ji. Maaf Karna Ji.
Vaheguru Ji.
There is hope after all. Wise words.

I've been fortunate enough to come across 17 year olds belonging to other faiths and cultures who are articulate, intelligent, and generally quite wise for their age. We seem to be producing either irreligious materialist and consumerist goons, or borderline autistic religious dogmatics and literalists. What the hell is going on?

I'm beginning to suspect that this is a troll.
Bro, let me get this straight....you were already screwed over once by a cheating girl from India, yet here you are again back at the well looking for another girl in India who clearly doesn't want anything to do with you.
Also, it's nice that you are okay with your parents finding you a girl - that is great. However, your parents are clearly horrible at this whole selection process.
With all of that said, you're only 25....my goodness man....and your divorce hasnt even finalized yet....and you can't even go to India because of this case.
Take some time (1-2 years) to reflect on all of this and give the marriage thing another try. Please.
A reasonable mind would assume it to be the case. But I promise you, the dark underbelly of Punjabi society doesn't find anything wrong with the valid concerns you've listed. I'm afraid OP's situation isn't anything that contradicts the ways of some of our people. It's all too common.

It depends on the kind of individual you're dealing with. Are they capable of change? Or are they too far gone? If it's the latter, then don't waste your time trying to "heal" that person with love, compassion, or understanding. It never works. There's just something broken inside that person that will not rectify itself through the concerted efforts of a third party. The best course of action is to maintain some distance. These types of individuals thrive on attention. They have a tremendous amount of negative energy around them (and God knows what else), and it genuinely does rub off on others who perhaps aren't strong enough to ward off these vibes. If you're unable to burn bridges, then keep such people at arms length. I shouldn't say this, but some people genuinely don't deserve a human janam. They're a waste of a human life.

Everyone has been assigned their respective duties. The secret is to find purpose and contentment in your role. If you are fortunate enough to be in a position that positively affects others, you're better off than those who have a desire to do good but are trapped in the day-to-day khel and grind of life where each day is an individual fight for survival. Don't get too philosophical and lose perspective.

Don't worry about it. Once she's got her feet under the table after marriage, you won't be able to shut her up.

There's an aspect of that, definitely, but I don't think it's the overriding reason. It's not even Islamification, but multiculturalism in general; to get away from people like us who seem to be everywhere in these fair isles, lol, or so some whites seem to think.
To be fair, British whites have been migrating to Australia for decades, well before the current hysteria around immigration. Maybe they like the warmer climate?

Judging from the religious interest of particular youngsters, this is highly likely.
Religious interest that is unfortunately being funnelled into the worship and promotion of Man and the various sects, instead of focusing on the true and formless essence of Sikh teachings. So, I ask myself whether the idea of pious Sikh souls being reborn to advance the panth is true considering how easily mislead and partisan these youngsters are, because the signs of their previous kamayi is virtually non-existent. Where's the innate gyaan, wisdom, and knowledge that comes from having been a spiritual Sikh in a previous lifetime? Saying the right things and playing dress up shouldn't be forms of measurement.

49 minutes ago, akaltaksal said:I think you're overreacting here, there are cultural shifts happening. Yes, the very dimwitted ones will reproduce, however, their offspring will face the same struggle they faced: the struggle between adhering to an archaic faith vs. western values and culture.
Apostasy and irreligious attitudes are fast spreading among the Iranians and Turks (at least in my country). Where I live, 23% of those born into the muslim faith no longer identify with it. It'll slowly regress to where Christianity is the more it comes in contact with the west and it's culture.
The problem will arrive, as I see it, not through the proactive efforts of Muslims (not that they'll suddenly mellow), but through the misguided efforts of inclusion on the part of the Western nations that host them. And the end result will be to the detriment of all other minority cultures and faiths that have to share living space with them in these foreign lands. The early signs are there not only in politics, but in the cultural landscape in something as apparently meaningless as the entertainment industries.
You can say I'm over-reacting. I suppose these things are always in flux. I just think during this particular conversation we on this site are underestimating Islamic zeal (they will call it devotion or love) for their faith and their ways. They aren't us. We are, compared to them, quite fluid and flexible when it comes to prioritising faith over culture. That's not a good thing for us, IMO.

It's no coincidence he's named SANTa Claus (North Pole Wale). Also, his "Naughty or Nice" list sounds suspiciously like the document in the hands of Chitragupta!

Don't hitch your wagon to mere men. You'll have to defend the indefensible, and when you do that you drift further from God. I keep saying it, but things are getting worse in the panth. Just making a general point. I don't know enough about this case to say otherwise.

Lets assume the dark days arrive, which i doubt.
Your assumption that all non muslims will be in same boat is perhaps flawed too considering a considerable number of uk muslims are of paki origin and are aware of sikh mughal historical conflict and hold us responsible for preventing islamization of indian subcontinent. Wats to say (if going by ur assumption) a mir mannu won't be there again?
You're clueless regarding European and British population dynamics pertaining to politics and immigrant communities. Stick to ogling men. That's your niche.

Divorce and seek custody of your children. Now is not the time to be wallowing in self pity. No man with an ounce of integrity could ever remain with such a woman.

Not from their childhood. He was a different case. As criticism of Islam by Academia and public figures increase so does apostasy and laxity among muslims. All it requires is for people to think critically, and once that begins to happen, all abrahamic religions start to die from the inside out.
The ones who don't possess the mental faculties to think critically will reproduce more of their own ilk, whilst the ones who are capable of introspection will always be too afraid to do anything meaningful about their doubts or dwindling beliefs, choosing to loosely hold onto the Muslim label because the alternative is too much hassle. I assure you, there is no silver lining.
I've been contemplating the Islamic issue in the West for the past few months, and I've arrived at the realisation that Sikhs shouldn't devote too much effort thinking or worrying about it. What will happen is inevitable and unstoppable. In that respect we won't be alone when the dark days arrive, because every other non-Muslim community will be in the same boat. Our priority should be our own faith and our community. That is something we surely can influence if the will is there. If the white population is too stupid and deluded to see where things will end up in 50-100 years, then maybe they don't deserve a future. Don't look to them for leadership on this issue.

The British envisage a utopian white Britain for their country and fair play to them for every nation wishes the same but they have to consume the karma consequences of their previous actions...perhaps islamification is a result of karma
What karma were we reaping when the Mughals were placing the limbs of our children, like necklaces, around their mothers' heads?? What sins had we committed when we were burned, butchered, and raped in the 80's?
I'm not having a go, brother. I have these thoughts myself, but we need to separate the empire-building deeds of the elites, and untangle them from the idea that the average man and woman and the unknowing masses deserve everything that's coming their way.

They plan on using our historical differences with Muslims to fuel our youth into going against Muslims, and I frankly think that energy should rather be spent in educating our children about Sikhi and who they can maintain relations with and working on making your lives better.
That's the long and short of it IMO.
