Or, were their parents thinking it is ਲਵ-ਪ੍ਰੀਤ, love of Luv, the son of Ram Chander and the founder of the city of Lahore?

Not our ignoramuses. They haven't got a clue.

God-damn Trump.

I disagree, bro. Parents should name their children what they would like to, but they don't need to be afraid of "Oh, what will the gore say!"

I mean, gore have names like:

Di-ck (short for Richard, means ਲਿੰਗ in slang)

Randy (short for Randolph, means sexually excited in British slang)

People have last names Koch and Weiner (means pe n is in slang).

Asians have last name Ling (means pe n is in Punjabi).

If they're not ashamed, why should we be ashamed to be named "lamp of the heavens" or "lamp of peace"?

 

Living in the West most of us are aware of humorous sexual or biological colloquial terms. There's a difference between a surname -- that largely cannot be changed -- and intentionally burdening a child with a dodgy forename from a long list of non-dodgy possibilities. I wouldn't use my child to make a haughty cultural argument in order to highlight gorah ignorance. The kid has to go out into the world and live with his/her name every day of their life. Doing it out of ignorance is one thing; purposefully bestowing a horrible name where someone will be victim to guffaws (despite knowing the implications of the name) their entire life is the height of cruelty.

Har5hit.

Sounds like something that happens after a saag and jwaar di roti session.

I've heard of Gujaratis having these names, never apne. 

I once worked with a Harshit, the guy was obviously embarrassed by his name and abbreviated it to just Harsh. 

Some of them have "Singh" after the forename. Granted, none of them were keshdharis.

But the current generation of sikhs living in the west they are too soft, not talking about the ones who came in the 60s and 70s. The young Sikhs today in the west do you think these people care about things going bad in the future or have any plans?  My point is people living in bad conditions in India who are already used to chaos and uncertainty will be much more prepared for hard times than people in the west living in comfort.

I've recently seen these types of Western Sikhs up close. In some ways they're decent people: quiet, respectable, hard-working, non-drinkers, etc. But they're f****g soft mongs. Darpokh. Clueless aside from what the TV tells them. No curiosity about anything. Never speak up for themselves. Obsessed with video games and electronic gadgets. No life experiences whatsoever. They seem like bits of their souls are missing. No vitality. Just breathing and surveying the landscape like a wild beast. I'm getting wound up just writing this.

Any discussion on this topic would need to begin with discussing why your username is “Misterr” rather than “Mr”.

You might say ‘mr was already taken’. But serious point - that’s how some peculiar names/id’s come about. What the person wanted was not available, so they picked something else. Even as a bit of a joke, maybe an auto suggestion, then it sort of sticks with them in real life. The names you mention probably originate from gaming platforms

Mods added the extra R without telling me. It annoys the heck out of me.

Recently I've come across quite a few strange Sikh names online and later IRL at various social functions and get-togethers. At first I thought they were trolls (online on places like YouTube) but then a few months later I'd physically meet people with the same type of names, and they obviously aren't trolling anyone.

Har5hit, Hardik, etc. The "Har" aspect is self explanatory and not uncommon, but what's the craic with "5hit" and "dik"? When did these kind of names come into use? Some of these people can also speak decent English, so that confuses me further. They must know their names are verging on dodgy.

I don't know about this trans stuff, but I truly believe that there are people born in the wrong yug. Must feel like a fish out of water.

I think we're here because we deserve to be. Only so-called Bodhisattvas are out of place, IMO, and that's because they've got a job to do.

Wow, just wow! <banned word filter activated> is the world coming to. Just read a few posts in this thread. Including the quoted one.

Fantastic behaviour by the kid though, he should disown his parents for behaviour like that. 

Always keep your eyes open and think critically. Never let anyone you care about be drawn into the circle of these degenerates no matter what public front they convey. Granted, some people are very good at keeping secrets, but most let the mask slip. 

Guy in the blue jacket seems like a Balkan Muslim or even a Turk.

Rishi Sunak vows...wider efforts to give women the freedom to go out at night without fear

Most sane people would argue this is part of the problem. A genuine social conservative would advise people to ensure their daughters, girls, and women should stay indoors at night. No, but this bandhar decides they need to embrace more of the randhi behaviour that gets them into trouble. And these bhainchods are our leaders, FFS!

I think the Dads might be able to do a reasonable job in protecting their daughters, but it will also require the Mums to be open about the issues that their daughters need to be wary of.

The kids (older teens +) have massive egos and a chip on their shoulder for some reason. Have you ever interacted with them? It's funny to even observe and interact with clearly delusional people whose self image is so disconnected from objective reality. They "won't be told" as the English saying goes. The fathers, to be fair, are actually decent guys from my experience, but they're used as walking wallets by the kids and the missus without any hint of shame or apology. These guys are barely into their mid 30s, and they're already broken down, bitter, and curmudgeonly. The mothers are your typical low IQ Punjabans who have their beak buried in WhatsApp 24/7. They aren't protecting nobody. CONSOOOOM!

To any older generation Sikhs, lets not lecture the freshie's. Let them get on with their puttheh kam and let us get on with our own business.

 

As someone observed a few weeks ago, they're going to be in trouble when it comes to their daughters and a certain predatory brown minority. They don't see it, though.

Depends which branch of us who does this more.

People who tend to be more recently arrived are more materialistic or people who have never seen or had consumer goods in their lives are far more materialistic. 

Those amongst our people who have lived with materialism for decades tend to be less balleh balleh. 

Like the bhangra music videos. In the old days of the 80's and 90's, twhen it was the UK that dominated the scene you would not hear about the flaunting of this wealth.

Now bhangra music scene is dominated by Punjab and recent Punjabi migrants to Keneda  and it is the particular demographic that flaunts the wealth and does the balleh balleh.

It is this particular section that dominates the narrative particularly in the diaspora. 

But I find that we should be careful not to necessarily extrapolate this section of our community on the rest of us.

There is a lot of jealousy within the Pakistani community, it's just that we don't hear about it.

I think the trend of British-born Sikh guys marrying Punjabi brides has died down now. It needed to happen. Those brides of the 90s (later, mothers) passed on that greedy mentality (having come from literal huts and villages) to their offspring, which is probably why much of that generation (now in their late teens / early 20s) are still expounding caste-related nonsense, and seem to be completely unhinged when it comes to accumulating objects and flashing their wealth. The fathers (Gen X-ers) are clueless British fudhoos as one would expect, so most of this behaviour is inherited from the overly bhukki mother.

The post-2005 Indian arrivals who came via Italy, Portugal, Spain, Bulgaria, etc., are something else, lol. They have a commendable work ethic (to a degree), but they have zero desire to pay their dues. Very impatient. They see what our elders worked 30,40,50 years to build, and these clowns want it all in 3 years. They have no idea how our elders put in the graft and sacrificed so much. In some ways their greed is greater than anything we've ever seen over here. Their entitlement is off the scale. But, strangely, they're also a little more aware of the Indian state's shenanigans, and therefore slightly more politically aware. But it's all very superficial and ultimately it's still that old Punjabi thing of waiting for Superman to descend from the clouds and provide a solution to the bigger problems. Their religiosity is also a load of posturing. It's very insincere.

The Pakistanis do enjoy themselves and are not averse to materialism.

There have been any conversations amongst our Sikh women how Pakistani women wearing lots of gold. 

Pakistanis also now drive better cars. You do tend see brand new Land Rovers parked ouside some chicken shop.

Do we flaunt it more with the "balle, balle" mentality while they're content to just own those things?

Have you observed this kind of materialism among pakistani punjabis? Since growing up I have noticed it among sikhs around me even the well off ones , this never ending greed for more and more and judging others based on how much expensive things they have. I observed it among my relatives all the times. This extreme jealousy at the thought of another family member buying something expensive. I dont understand this. I noticed this when my mom used to gather around with the family ladies and they would constantly stare at each other's clothes and purses and what not. Even growing up all I saw in the music videos was talks about cars, alcohol and expensive things. Just too much greed in the punjabi community. I see people going into debt to buy expensive cars just to show off. Such childish behaviour.

Their micro-managing religion is a stop-valve that curbs much of the excess that we succumb to. BUT there's aspects to their belief system which leads them down other rabbit holes that thankfully we mostly seem to have avoided (i.e. widespread sexual immorality sanctioned by a supposed divine figure).

I'm not saying Pakistanis don't get enticed by shiny baubles like ostentatious houses, cars, gadgets, etc., but it's obviously not at the level that we're motivated to obtain these things.

what's up with showing off expensive cars in music videos? Why this obsession with materialism?

Someone (or a group) has sat down a few decades ago, and analysed the Sikh Punjabi character, identified weaknesses, blind spots, and failings, and then accordingly formulated a plan to strike at every pressure point in order to make our people behave in ways that will cause us the most harm. 

To answer your question, an obsession with materialism usually (not always) comes about when people's neetah are bhukhiya.

This is how majority of punjab looks lol. Utter utter failed region.

LOL Punjabis No. 1.

Literally the entire state is one giant immigration business.

All I see is a masterclass in slow-burn Indian psychological and sociological warfare. Objectively, they've finished the job using "peaceful" means what they started decades ago using violence and horror, i.e. eject Sikhs from Punjab.

Question is should Punjabis be capable of recognising the clearly grand and intricate manipulation that's been enacted on them? If so, why do they continue to leap in the exact direction that their dokhis want them to? If they're so streetwise and smart, shouldn't they realise the game being played?
