So 'Pajeets' is now a slang for us! lol

Stupidity being spread to other communities like a virus.....

They have been shook up a bit lately. Not enough though (in my opinion). This would backfire, and make them do it even more.

What does qt stand for? Sorry.

I'm one of them. I've seen a lot of that generation keep the flag alive. Many of the older lot (to me) were apolitical. The younger lot don't seem much to sing and dance about either. Homosexuality is off the scale, as well as hard drug addiction. The whole jut casteism thing has NEVER been this prevalent either (which could be explained by the 'Punjabi' music and film industry). I don't get what you're getting at?

This is well worth a thread on its own. So do people think Ajmer Singh is right about the promotion of a certain culture to stupefy Sikhs?

She's a sociopath. That's why she's so attracted to Boris (another one). These people have no grasp of reality. They create 'realities' in their own imagination as required for their immediate goal. Here, Priti is going to be the acceptable face of the far-right - trying to undermine challenges because her face isn't white. Thus it can't be racist.

It's not like you can easily escape them either. They can be your close family and be feeding off you for decades before you twig.

Watch the opportunistic buml1ckers from amongst us come out in force against their own to gain favour.

No doubt about the foreign invasions of Panjab. But you have to also acknowledge that ancient Indic culture had a profound and widespread influence all around that region: From China (with Buddhism), all over those Islands like Malaysia, Singapore Thailand and many other places. Yeah, our ancestors bore the brunt of invasions. A few people have tried to invade here over the centuries - make no mistake about that.

They live on a fortress island. Makes it harder to invade. Normans did it successfully, as did Vikings and others, Germans failed repeatedly recently.

If you can even perceive this you've got some degree of cognitive 'prowess'. But what about hordes of simple minded apnay who don't even get the idea of being mentally colonised, or even how the imperial experience changed us so much to the point where we have some compromised 'Sikhism' that hordes think is the real deal.

It's not as simple as that. Plenty, if not most of our pendus were up their ar5e (chaaplooses so to speak). Model colonial subjects. But yeah, there were movements resisting them throughout their occupation. If you ain't seen Sardar Udham by now, you should, because it's about one such movement. I agree. I think 2nd generation people like me are more likely to perceive what you are saying. I think Khalsacentric Sikh culture has all but disappeared, and I don't just mean just people taking Amrit, but the whole weapons culture, socio-political, dharmic society transforming energy. It's been replaced by things like western liberalism, Panjabicentric casteism and other weakening vichaars. People are waking up though. But maybe we need to face up to the fact that majority of apnay want comfortable lives and status over anything else including sovereign independence?

If anyone knew the true history between the english and Sikhs (outside of buml1cking colonial sepoy narratives), none of this comes as any surprise.

There was a time when I would've probably shared the views you've put up above, but I tell you what made me see it differently: working as a teacher teaching teenagers in a college for a few years. I taught at a few levels, and some of the classes I taught were special needs ones, and the experience changed my mindset. I grew up in a time when these 'special needs' things weren't understood and people were just considered 'thick' or 'stupid'. What I learned from my teaching experiences was that there are real serious differences in.......how people's brains function. Some people seem naturally more vulnerable because of cognitive shortfalls. They have shockingly poor powers of concentration, their memory is real bad. Some of them have mental ages much lower than their physical age. I believe that this contributes into them making poor decisions and being almost completely unaware of dangerous situations they naively place themselves in. It was teaching a Sikh girl like this that opened my eyes. I know some girls who get themselves in trouble are probably just mouthy, arrogant broads, but many are vulnerable because of cognitive issues. I know groomers target both types. Also, it makes sense for us as a community to put out norms that discourage such behaviour in various ways, or it becomes widespread.

Bump

Ok, who is the Kukreja guy? Is he politician or actor or something?

I think you might be on to something there. It's fear driven.

It sort of seems to have a rhythmic, linguistic flavour of Akaal Ustat? From what I can see, all versions of existing works in Dasam Granth are adaptations and never straight translations.

Plus Chandhi Ki Vaar has muslim foes in the end, which aren't in the original.

I don't think childlike visuals like this help. That's the problem with Indian artwork, it looks puerile and so you can't take it seriously as an adult.

I'm proper baffled as to why many US Sikhs avoid getting and training with these things?

I agree. This'll sound funny but there seems to be a serious problem with certain brothers not knowing how to dress themselves in a stylish, sober manner and looking comical as a result. lol! I also think some tarkhans (probably African descent) also need to stop with the 'pleasant' cuddly friendly vibe and get more 'tasty'.
