Nah, I think this geezer knows exactly what he is doing. He's pandering to sentiments he knows exist, and also jumping into a vacant position of chumcha that'll be very rewarding for him - like it is for Patel and Rishi. 

Oh god, i agree, he's not an <banned word filter activated>, he knows exactly what he's doing it just the picture, who the hell take a picture holding both thumbs up anymore, it reminded me of this:

If we are going to get into the matter of apnay's political donutery, especially in relation to angreezis, that's a whole subject in itself, spanning centuries.........   apnay blokes can be as gullible a hell. Which is surprising because normally chors and hairaa feerhee karan walay are usually quite good at recognising other people who operate along these lines??? But with too many apnay, they seem to seriously think chunnhnah shines out of angreezis bhund. lol

 

You mean like this.....

They probably going to win more seats than ever before. 

Jeremy really messed up labour party didn't like this far-left policies and too much pandering  even though its been f'd since tony blair.  Conservatives took advantage and took the 'brown token' faces to be conservatives Rishi Patels and more to come. Jeez if sohal wins, Sikhs are in danger. Serious danger.

Vaheguru mehar kare 

 

 

 

Corbyn messed up the Labour party but at least he had the courage of his convictions, he stood his ground, Starmer's literally done nothing, forget walking the walk he's hot eve talked the talk and now they stand to loose seats to a Tory party who have ended up killing people during the pandemic because of indecision and corruption.

Yeah, Sohal, he loves to run his mouth, he's not getting any love on twitter, he's managed to alienate the very people he's meant to be representing, the problem is there's a very high chance he may win, he's been targeting area's that are traditional Tory strongholds (Sutton Coldfield, Solihull), our lot will see the turban and go and vote for him without knowing what they're actually voting for, god help us.

The Tories have no real opposition at the moment, everyone know they're corrupt but Labour is at it's weakest ( a wet wipe is more useful than their current leader).

Julie Hambelton is an independent candidate in today's votes. Has no political party links.

 

She fighting a case for justice for the 21 for the Birmingham pub bombings. She has has very good relations with the Sikh community. I say vote for her. 

Best of luck to her, I'd rather see someone like her win than Tory boy Jay Sohal.

There's some area in the US where there are more pigs than humans! The pig waste is used to fertilize the farms as well. The people in the areas have a very high cancer rate, some families have had several members who have died of cancer. These pig farms are built near the Black neighborhoods.

Can't remember which state or city it was.

 

Yeah, that's in North Carolina.

It make for sad but interesting reading:

Sum's up India really, have a religious right wing lunatic in a position of power, get him to threaten healthcare professionals and then the blind sheep will follow just because he's wearing a tilak on his forehead and a religious gown, I'm thankful international media outlet's are picking up on this nonsense and reporting it, there's another news story i read of someone going on twitter and asking for oxygen for a relative and he's had a FIR issued against him.

I spoke to a younger relative of mine in india who's currently training / on a placement in the medical profession, and she says the Indian media is causing hysteria. Apparently, it's like as if a switch has been flipped and they seem to be going all-out with a particular narrative. There are obvious problems but they've always been there since the outbreak started. Quite interesting from someone on the front line. I don't think she's a desh bhagat defending Modi.

The Indian media do seem to be going in pretty hard this time (which is saying something, they always take the smallest news story and blow it out of proportion), saying that, when the pandemic hit here in the UK there was a certain narrative being driven by the news channels here (especially the BBC), i stopped watching the news after a few day's because it was affecting my mental health more than any pandemic could, if you're fed the same narrative again and again you start to believe it.

India's in a bad state, they need to accept the help being given to them and put aside their huge ego of wanting to be a world superpower and put their people first for a change.

I personally think it represents the section just fine, only two of the guys in the image have trimmed beards, the other two look like they have wispy beards, what's boing to be next, only allow people on the forum that keep a dastaar and an un-shaven beard.

1. First of all, I said "singhs who lead a decent lifestyle." A "singh" who commits domestic violence (or is abusive in any other way) does not lead a decent lifestyle.

2. I was commenting on someone else's comment where they wondered why women marry men in the entertainment industry who are known to be unfaithful. If you are so triggered by me using "singhs who lead a decent lifestyle" as a contrast to such men, then please just accept the following more general point: human being have a tendency to be attracted to power/money/fame/glamour/physical attraction and value those things over modesty/decency/piety. That's why you see a lot of people end up with partners who don't treat them well. At some point, they probably had a choice where they could have gone with someone who treated them better, but the person who would have treated them better was not attractive enough to them.

I think we both are leading to the same conclusion, just worded and expressed differently.

I don't necessarily agree with the fact that there is any particular pattern to women ending up with partners who treat them badly (i.e. fame, money, good looking etc.), sure, it's a factor but not all the time. In a lot of relationships things become about control, when that escalates it can sometimes become abusive, for men a lot of the time it's about controlling the narrative the wife believes, if he's having an affair or up to no good he will control the narrative so his wife is only party to things that he want's her to see and hear, even places he want's her to go, in the case of Juggy D his wife found out and it all escalated but then she knew about his old habits anyway and chose to believe he changed.

They would much rather marry monay who engage in such activities than singhs who lead a decent lifestyle.

I have no idea where to start to explain how completely and utterly wrong (and disrespectful to woman who suffer domestic abuse) this comment is, domestic abuse/violence has nothing to do with being  "monay" or a "singh", It has to do with the person and asserting control over someone else. I know of at least 2 Amritdhari "singhs" in my wife's extended family that hit their wives, one was arrested for it.

If you think that once you become a "singh" you do no wrong you might want to take a seat and have an objective look at the world, we're all human, taking the path of the Guru is just that, a path, it doesn't make you perfect.

Remember this guy? Juggy D. He's apparently been arrested for domestic violence. 

He was in Delhi partying and sleeping with women. When he was back in London his wife went through his phone and read the messages decided to post them on his social media and he then started beating her up.

I'm not surprised he always was a bit of a loose cannon. I remember a few years back he was in rehab for drugs, and when he came out everyone was quite supportive.

I know he's a mona and not a practicing Sikh but these days every other person is committing adultery, and it is destructive, I don't understand why people even bother getting married these days? considering he's been married for 11 years, his kids are obviously still in primary school, this will scar them for life.

Seems like a lot of women were being passed around, involving some other Punjabi singers like Guru Randawa? Not surprising at all, Its part of the package when you are in showbiz and the entertainment industry, not sure why women marry these men 

https://www.ghaintpunjab.com/GhaintPunjab/Article/38226/punjabi-singer-juggy-d-arrested-by-london-police-in-domestic-violence-case

The guys always been a coke head, all you need to do is go around Southall and ask about him, he was allegedly offering his gold Kara as payment for "services", Rishi Rich and Jay Sean went there own ways but he stayed where he was riding on the coat tails of a few songs, i feel sorry for his kids in all of this.

There's loads of crap like this in the music industry, we used to film wedding's and concerts in the past and the amount of singer's that would be doing line's before coming on stage was ridiculous, these were guys that had young fan's who looked up to them, some things never change.

how much does a harmonium cost

I want to buy one is it good to get one form here or getting one form India 

I don't know where you are based but in the UK they start at about £250 if your in the UK and go up to £700/800, for manufacturers i would probably go for Bina if you are a beginner.

You could probably import one from India but the shipping would probably make it roughly the same price as just buying it over here.

When my eldest aunt's dad passed away we found out a few year's later that her mum had kept his ashes in an urn by the fireplace for at least 2 years before we found out, my aunt and her mum saw nothing wrong with it, considering his funeral was a Sikh one we all found it a little strange to say the least, she had to be told the the Giani at their local gurdwara that they should really scatter the ashes as it isn't healthy for her mental health to have them there as a reminder all the time, my aunts mother saw nothing wrong with it, takes all sorts.

This whole incident is surreal, from the way it played out to the way it was filmed, I'm not one for conspiracies but i'll leave that topic for another day.

The fact that people would rather film than try to help in some way in truly a sad sign of the times, the guy went to another country to try and make a better life for him and his family back home and this is what happens to him, humanity has well and truly left the building.

I heard an interview with he lawyer on the radio yesterday, some of the excuses she was coming out with were ridiculous, there was a rumour a while back that she works for the intelligence services as well (her husband does), hence it would be difficult to get her back over here.

Just been on the site it all seems to revolve around abuse, nothing on there for homeless etc.

Get in touch with Midland Langar Seva, if they can't help i'm sure they know someone who can.

As far as family goes, maybe try and tell them your willing to take a covid test to prove your okay to stay with them (you can get a lateral flow test done and get the results in an hour),

A little random, but I'll post it anyway

People in older days seemed to be fitter and healthier ; I mean, they generally walked more, and ate less rubbish. They were forced to be more physically healthy by way of life. 

They likely had better mental health, as they would not have been using technology like phone/PC/TV/audio/whatsapp to fill their minds with rubbish like most of us do, and which has driven materialism to extreme levels

They would have had better diet with fresher food, less ready-made foods and less junk snacks and drinks. They would have eaten food in peace with family, not whilst watching TV

Apparently (for those who know about acupressure and ayurveda) walking bare-foot is also good for the nervous system and brain; people walk less bare foot nowadays.

Squatting to open bowels is known to reduce incidence of gastrointestinal cancer.  https://www.researchgate.net/publication/305362118_Etiology_of_Diverticulosis

Some of these things are common sense, some of these things we do not /find it difficult to get away from as they make our lives a lot easier

 

What of these above factors do you actively try to control in your life?

Do they discourage us from doing a lot of these things because they have vested interests?

Anyone know about any race/tribe of people who follow these older ways as much as possible ?

Is meat-eating in history, a myth? Has it been exaggerated by those in the meat industry to brainwash people that eating meat is normal? Were most people in the past vegetarian by choice (I know meat is supposedly food of wealthy and hunters)

 

It depends how you define "older days" really, today there are more processed foods around, more junk, more distractions, I grew up in the 80's and there was less of all of that (and I'm not really going back that far), we would go out more to "play" sports, eat mostly fresh home made food, my social life consisted of either visiting cousins, going to the gurdwara or playing sports and spending a lot of time outdoors while watching very little tv. Time's were different then, we were bought up like this because that's how our parent's were bought up.

In today's age it's a lot more difficult but not impossible, what we eat has changed, even if it fresh fruit or veg, the way it's grown has changed but you have to change your mindset, pretty much all of the food we eat in our house is home made, we very rarely get takeaway, we need to know what goes into our food.

The walking barefoot thing is something that we have in our family, my nephew did this from a young age and still does, he would go out and walk on the grass barefoot all the time, you can't do it so much on the streets though, my son does it now and he's only 5.
