  1. When we, as a people, start having the above discussion truthfully and openly, that's when things will be on the verge of change.
  2. Yes, from what I've seen it's those types. Funnily enough - and this isn't scientific - I've also noticed this phenomena occurs in homes the mother of the groom wears the trousers, if you know what I mean.
  3. Reduced yet not eliminated. What does that say about their brains and their mentality? Someone should conduct a psychological and sociological study on contemporary Punjabis from back home. I'd be fascinated about where they obtain their ethics and their functional norms, because it sure as heck isn't the Sikh faith.
  4. Lesson for Sikh guys and those who perhaps don't considers themselves religious but are Punjabis: Spurn all offers of dowry. Don't accept a penny. Don't even go for the backdoor methods of dowry (yeah, it's something Gursikhs do to give the impression they're pious and above the material cravings of everyone else.) If things go south in the marriage, you will be morally and religiously beyond reproach. If the girl does mess you around, one thing her family cannot accuse you of is pocketing the dowry and then ending the marriage even if the blame lies completely on the girl's side. Don't be greedy. Don't listen to other Punjabis. No dowry is a 'get out of jail free card' if the worst comes to the worst.
  5. To be fair, this does happen a lot more regularly than you'd think. It's tied into the dowry system, i.e. the guy and his family secure whatever is given to them by the girl's family, then they return home and instigate divorce proceedings, eventually moving onto the next victim after a couple of years. From what I've seen and heard, it's a prevalent practice adopted by Canadian Sikhs (recent arrivals). There's also a few UK cases I've encountered, but they're quite rare. Of course, nobody will ever talk about the cases where NRIs guys are duped into marriage by Punjabi girls whose are lovers waiting for them in the home country of their NRI husband, because women are always victims, and are incapable of deceit and treachery when it comes to issues of marriage. /s
  6. These nutters won't be creating legislation according to Gurmat. It's almost as if they're afraid to label anything or anyone as a lost cause, as if it somehow reflects badly on being progressive and tolerant.
  7. What experts are arguing is that there's a distinction between someone who only looks at - and is "thrilled" by - pictures and videos of children being sexually abused, and on the other end of the spectrum someone who actively instigates and participates in said abuse. The argument is that the former group are less of a threat - therefore shouldn't be criminalised as long as they agree to some form of therapy - whereas the active, unrepentant abusers should continue to be caught and prosecuted. I guess it opens a Pandora's Box of issues, such as whether paedophilia is a naturally occurring biological state, or whether it's a result of earlier abuse / trauma.
  8. Well, I use to chuckle when I'd hear some of my overzealous brothers on this site mention that the next step in the dismantling of societal norms was when paedophilia would begin to be tolerated and pushed towards mainstream acceptance. Amazingly it seems we might be on the verge of something like that. Do not jail all paedophiles, says police chief. To stop paedophiles, we need to help them. Yet, if one reads the above articles, are there situations where rehabilitation is preferred to ostracism? Is treating those who aren't too far gone viable and realistic? Or is the idea of tolerating and understanding their behaviour a precursor to the gradual acceptance and normalisation of paedophilia?
  9. Whites are doing this to themselves and their countries. No brown person is campaigning for this. It sounds so ludicrous that I'm wishing it was satire.

    Divorce

    Sounds like a complete and utter nightmare of a woman taking advantage of a good guy, knowing full well that he's too much of a gentleman to do anything about it. This type of behaviour can be traced back to the parents indulging their child in most cases. People like that don't change, OP, unless you visibly establish that you're aware a line has been crossed from which there is no return. At the moment you're indulging her, and she's relishing this because she realises you're powerless. Nothing in your relationship and your interactions with her up to this point suggest she has any reason to fear the end of your relationship, so she's conducting herself in a manner that suggests she's comfortable in the knowledge of there being no consequences to her behaviour. I doubt you'll suddenly start laying down the law and change your own style of dealing with her, so you only realistically have two options: 1. Continue mollifying and appeasing her, hoping she has an epiphany about how wonderfully tolerant and accommodating you are due to your desire for making the marriage work. 2. You steel yourself and tell her to buck up her ideas, get the help she needs (and you'll support her as required) but she needs to behave with decency towards you and your parents CONSISTENTLY. There are NO half measures when it comes to dealing with people such as your wife. Reason and understanding only come into affect when both parties are capable of such conduct. It's not a one-sided deal. Forgive me, but she realises you're weak, and she's making the most of it. That's ultimately what's happening here.
  11. Genetics certainly plays a role. I'm told my paternal grandfather was 6ft 6. My mum says my father was 5ft 5 yet I was just under 6ft 3 at my peak, but I'm now just over 6ft due to a none permanent back injury that placed a lot of stress on my spine for a long time. I guess I shrunk, lol. It's a lottery at times. Pertaining to Dasme Paatshah, most who've had darshan claim they are no less than 6ft but certainly nowhere near the height of Guru Hargobind Sahib. Ultimately it's irrelevant as their legacy is not to be found in their height. Like skin tone, we Punjabis love to obsesss over height.
  12. White liberals are playing a dangerous game of "The enemy (extreme Islam) of my enemy (Western conservatives) is my friend." They will lose. On some level they believe their tolerance and their magnanimous behaviour towards Muslims (the placating, enabling, and appeasement that's currently occurring) will be rewarded by a mutually agreeable sense of partnership once Muslims are in the ascendancy. Muslim loyalty lies with Islam. End of. That's a very painful lesson these white liberals will be confronted with in their final moments.
  13. Whatever the art style and period, I've always been struck by the depiction of Guru Tegh Bahadhur, which seems to be fairly standardised throughout the centuries. The grey / white streak in their beard underneath the bottom lip is a common distinguishing feature in various portraits of theirs. It's a pretty specific detail. Is that something that's been mentioned in a sakhi, etc?
  14. How chilling to learn he asked them about their visa status before returning later to shoot them. If that isn't calculated I don't know what is.
  15. I didn't mean to sound blunt. Take it as brotherly advice. When you reach mahapurash status in every respect, then use that term to your heart's content. Otherwise it just comes across as faux-humility when the sentiment being expressed a few seconds earlier was anything but.
  16. I suggest you tone down, or eliminate, the usage of "daas" because it's a sentiment that's at odds with your opinions and general outlook on certain issues. It makes you seem disingenuous. It's a word that is better suited to physical interactions between people; not so much when typing out replies on a forum.
  17. What you've noted above will be our, as Sikhs in the West, downfall because we simply won't be able to do what you've prescribed. We have this rather unseemly habit of ingratiating ourselves in the business of others in the West. It would be acceptable to get hot and bothered about such issues if we tackled our own domestic matters with as much passion as we do the issues of our hosts. We're barely a dot in the overall picture but we try to punch above our weight instead of being pragmatic and watch the tamasha unfold as dispassionate observers on the sidelines. We wheel out conveniently selective Sikh teachings from scriptures for various Western cause de celebre, but when something that actually affects Sikhs adversely, these same voices suddenly fall silent and are in complete denial.
  18. That ties into the whole thing about the average Jew not being party to a conspiracy to destroy civilisation, lol. I think they, like many "normal" people of different backgrounds, are as uninformed and nonplussed about certain issues. Those who are trained to rise to the highest echelons of their respective fields (I mean the very, very top) know the score.
  19. My feeling is they're emboldening and positioning Muslims to be in the firing line; "let them take the brunt of the inevitable backlash." Muslims are being manipulated into acting the useful idiots. When gentiles and Muslims have thinned each others' herds, the other lot will have killed two birds with one stone. Any anti-Semitism caused by encouraging the Muslim cause is probably viewed as collateral damage; a necessary evil required to achieve the ultimate aim. Gotta remember, the average Jew (like the average white, Asian, black) is worthless to them. Don't think for one moment the everyday Jew gets a monthly memo detailing how to protect themselves from the policies being enacted, lol.
  20. Thing is Jews aren't white. Yeah, sounds funny, doesn't it? But they absolutely don't class themselves as white. It's something that's drilled into them from the very beginning but rarely, if ever, mentioned by them.
  21. Do you think most of that (in the bold) has to do with their gradual desertion of the Christian faith or faith in anything of a spiritual flavour. Have they gone in the other direction too soon? It has become almost cool to be an atheist or a disbeliever, etc, especially amongst the key male demographic of 18-34. They think it makes them edgy rebels thumbing their nose at thousands of years of tradition. What they fail to realise is that a) the corruption of contemporary organised religion is not a comment on the existence and integrity of God, and b) They're playing into the hands of the other lot for whom religion is the one thing that underpins and binds their entire existence; it makes those other fellas strong, whilst whites have completely copped out and gone for the easy way out. One thing I've noticed about whites over the years is how much it annoys and angers them to be reminded of their less than moral actions throughout history. They're fed this narrative from cradle to grave that they've always been on the right side of morality; that they're the good guys, and even any questionable actions taken by them have had a deep-rooted benevolence that was essential for the greater good. Remind them of the various cold-blooded genocides they've headed, and it makes them so angry, because it lays bare that they are, in fact, alao fundamentally driven by the same base desires and emotions that the apparently uncivilised races possess, who they happen to consider as lessers.
  22. If the West encourages the proliferation of Islamic lobbies and special interest groups as they've done with Jews, then they deserve everything coming their way.
