Nothing wrong with being a pendu. I'm proud to be one. :)

Until the underlying causes of these attacks are identified and tackled, nothing will ever change. 1. Western foreign policy. 2. The poisonous Islamist ideology. That's all it is. But seeing how the powers in charge will contort themselves into all sorts of ways that AVOID discussing the above, there's nothing anybody will ever be able to do to prevent more horrors.

Yeah, the above is exactly what I was alluding to. Nothing we do in terms of dharam is ever too much, but one would hope we've lived decent lives and conducted ourselves in the correct Sikh way that means if we do end up unexpectedly on the other side, this janam won't have been a waste.

The feeling of helplessness of finding yourself in such a situation would be mind-numbing. Knowing your life was coming to an end, in a situation you never anticipated could ever occur a few moments earlier, is quite sad to contemplate. Makes you realise how fragile life is; how we get caught up in so much superfluous nonsense when it all could come crashing down in a few seconds of madness.

I wonder if there's sleeper cells in the UK waiting for the word to launch an operation like in Paris. The odds point towards 'yes'. A sobering thought.

He would never have attached labels to himself other than a Gursikh of Akal Purakh. I know that's not what you meant, and for the sake of semantics you might say he was a Taksali, but not in the way we use such terms in these modern times. Don't get me wrong, I've huge respect for DDT, no doubt.

France has been quite active in Syria too. U.S., France, UK, etc, it's the same to the likes of ISIS, I.E the West is a target. Although I don't believe Jihadi John's death was the motivator for this attack because it needed to be planned thoroughly, however I believe JJ being taken out may have been the spur to launch these attacks yesterday.

Might be a revenge attack for yesterday's killing of Jihadi John?

Ouch. It's like rolling a dice. You either luck-out and end up with someone wonderful or things turn pear-shaped. I usually find a strong, clear-headed guy can turn around such a situation if the girl from back home is taking liberties. They respect someone who stands their ground and doesn't take any bakwaas. That doesn't mean she starts getting knocked about or anything of the sort, just make her feel her current course of action will result in life being difficult for her and only her. If the guy is meek or unable to stand up for himself, the girl knows she's onto a winner. With girls such as these, as sad it may sound, the male cannot afford to show any hints of weakness. Only the husband can do this; nobody else can do it for him. It happens a lot, bhenji. I don't see why Gursikhs return home for a partner; there's more than enough rehatvaan choices in this country for those at that stage of their life. We may be Sikhs and Punjabis like those of our brethren back home, but I'm afraid to say the mentality and approach to life is occasionally incompatible. It's genuinely a shock for those from here expecting a homely, respectable girl to come over and slot into UK life with ease. Those days are a speck on the horizon.

Hanji, it seems Guru Gobind Singh Ji's bachan regarding there being many false Sikhs in Sikhi garb during the height of Kaljug was so spot on. There's also instances where gullible foreign-born Gursikh lads are duped by girls from back home, who've taken Amrit and wear a keski or dastaar specifically to nab one of said Gursikh guys. They do it to get an easy ride overseas, and the funny thing is that some of these Gursikh guys and their families are following hukam, so there's no dowry demands or anything of the sort. Yet, it's these type of Sikhs that get messed around the most.

A fair amount of foreign-born Gursikh bibiya have ended up in similar situations. Their naivety and stubborness has ended up costing them dearly. They assume because the guy is Gursikh and part of a Jatha, he's a brahmgyani in the making. But once the honeymoon period is over, figuratively speaking, his true colours come shining through. Some girls are even saddled with kids who'll most likely never see their fathers.

Something very, very similar happened a few weeks ago to a Gursikh bibi my family knows. Both husband and wife are UK born and Gursikhs, but she's now in deep because of the tactic you've mentioned above.

What were Sikh Council hoping to achieve by meeting him?

Yes, establish a relation with someone for whom a "first dance" is unimportant and unnecessary.

In that case we should actively encourage the Indians and Badals to take it back, lol. If our Punjabi brethren back home can't seem to get rid of that little dynasty (via democratic elections), then maybe a cursed diamond can do the job?

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/nov/12/narendra-modi-uk-david-cameron-indian-trade-politics Embarrassingly fawning article by Keith Vaz (surprise, surprise) about Modi's Wembley visit. Proof that the political divide is a complete fabrication in these modern times. A so-called Labour MP (belonging to a party of historically socialist ideals) cosying up to a Nationalist, Right-leaning leader who, admittedly, is quite adept at the old Capitalism game.

Regarding the dance issue, my thoughts are that an Amritdhari couple who possess a particular mindset won't be pontificating over a first dance or anything of that nature. That's not me being a killjoy or promoting religious austerity.

Maybe he was upset for being overlooked for a key position during this "panthic reshuffle"? Perhaps he felt his high-profile role in recent events merited some type of "reward" in terms of a key role in Sikh matters? Who knows, you'll have to ask him yourself.

I've not been able to keep up with developments, so I'm a bit hazy on some issues. 1. Why is there a new head Jathedar? What happened to the previous one? 2. If he's been appointed officially, then why are the security out to prevent him from entering?

Edit: I got the wrong end of the stick!

Yeah, yeah, we all know you love watching that filth.

Oh I see, so like a KKK chapter. Thanks, I get it now. Well in that case it seems Modi's rags to riches ascent to power wasn't as idealised as it's been portrayed. He must've been bankrolled by the backers of that sub-group. They scratched his back and I guess eventually he'll have to scratch theirs.

What's a shaka? I honestly don't know.

I'm all for social mobility. I mean, where have those who've studied at Oxbridge or Ivy League establishments led us so far? If someone from humble beginnings can make it to the top based on hard work and determination, then fair play. What I do have a problem with is the aforementioned celebrities, especially Indian celebrities, sticking their nose in business that is of no concern to them. More fool the Indian public who elevate these personalities to levels where they assume their opinions and thoughts are required. Absolute nonsense.

What kind of a world do we live in where the modern equivalents of court jesters, kanjar and kanjariya are dictating what happens on the international stage? Is this how far modern humanity has fallen; that we take our cues from such people?
