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.

That's where your dharam comes in too. God forbid, but if it is destined for me to go like that, then I just hope I've done enough good to have some favour with Guru ji and Waheguru.

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.

Geezer!! Most definitely!

I just pray that I'm not out and about when it happens, but knowing my luck... lol

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.

Isn't Baba Deep Singh Ji a Taksali?

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.

but it was us missiles

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?

tell me about it my bro just younger than me married a punjaban ...we made zero demands ...and she has been the most nasty piece of work to my Mum and my Sis since day1 .

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.

I was going to mention the girls too that take advantage, and then leave them, not just Gursikh but non Gursikhs too. It's sad to hear the Gursikhs are experiencing this aswell.

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.

it is so despicable, my sis was extra wary of amritdhari guys because of it ...too many bhekhi sikhs ...so she said I'll work towards amrit with my partner so I know what's what

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.

my friend got gouged like this , she married a desi lad who took amrit in the jatha , her Dad warned her but she was adamant that it was OK , he turned nasty as soon as he got his paperwork through, he broke her arm then divorced her after she invested her hard earned nest egg into a flat for them and lawyers and whatnot to get him permanent stamp . Now because of all the hoo ha, he had talked filth about her as well , she had to emigrate to Oz for peace of mind .She is now happily settled there.

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.

I hope that you put the flat in the girl's name only as there is a business like attitude where guys marry, convince the girl to buy a place then divorce her removing half the value of the house and her homeless

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?

Majority of Sikhs live life in shades of Grey, not Black n White.

It is best to establish a relation with someone from a similar mind set.

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

Legend has it that whoever keeps the Kohinoor destroys themeselves and their family along with predecessors to come, just look at history... first it was with emperor akbar, then Maharaja Ranjit Singh...

I think it's safer in the UK than India, the hindu govt and badals will end up knicking it. Let's focus on making our home (Khalistan) first and then maybe consider taking back our artefacts?

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?

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.

does anyone know why Dhadrianwale didn't attend sarbat khalsa? there is something going on behind the scene, he put this weird video out

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!

I honestly didn't notice the resemblance of him username to a Game of Thrones character.

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.

well it would seem so when an unpard katard chaiwalla can take up the position of head of a vast nation any BS is possible ...I mean it took resident kanjar inchief Amitabh Bachan to stir up people against SIkhs...now the likes of Anupam Kher has suddenly got the gall to say if you don't get treated well you have no rights to complain.

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?
