  1. I know someone who works in an immigration detention center and most of the fojis get released anyway. The immigration centres are full, no more space, so they release them after a few days. If they keep quite and don't give away their real name or their address back home then there's nothing the immigration can do. But if they are pedos, rapists, murderers then they keep them in the centre. Majority of the people that get caught are actually guys from Muslim countries, Eastern European countries and African countries. Surprisingly the number of fojis that get caught are quite a small number compared to all the other immigrants. My cousin got caught twice and they released him both times. He gave them a fake name and wouldn't tell them his address back home, so there was nothing they could do.
  2. So what's the right thing to do in that situation? I was thinking about this earlier today. On one had you should obey the law of the country you live in, so hand the fojis into the immigration or police. That's what we're supposed to do as Sikhs. On the other hand if do that then you are betraying your own people, when they trust you to help them. What should you do?
  3. Fans of some Indian actress have built a mandir for her and worship her idol.
  4. Yeah the Sant Nirankaris were created by the Congress government. There's a video of indira gandhi talking about them. They're the ones that clashed with Sikhs in Amritsar in 78.
  5. Someone sent me a video a few weeks back of a Punjabi and Gujji gay wedding in London! They did lavan in their house, had a tape playing lavan. My mum works in a hospital and she was telling my dad how an asian man is in the hospital because he had a stroke when his son told him he's gay. Feel so sorry for the dad, no man deserves that.
  6. Though we are one community, unfortunately we all live in different realities. Trying to convince pro gay Sikhs that homosexuality is wrong in Sikhi, is like convincing us lot that homosexuality is acceptable in Sikhi and anand karaj. We live in completely different realities and worlds. I feel like a dinosaur among some Sikhs! Same age, same country, same community, but two completely different worlds. Nothing you can do tbh ...
  7. We've saved fojis a few times, let them jump over the wall and hide in the garden etc people do that on our street. There were some fojis building someones house and the police came looking for them. My mums mate from down the road hid them in her house. But her miserable old White neighbour came out and told the police that she's hid them in her house! So the police knocked on my mums friends door and said they need to look inside because she's hiding illegal immigrants. But my mums friend didn't let them in and she started arguing with the police and said they have no right to check her house. The police left and didnt come back! lol The police are bullies, pushing their weight around.
  8. I think half of its in Majha and the other half Malwa. No I haven't been, would love to go here! They reintroduced the garial crocodile there, which is a native species, and now its spread into other parts of the Beas. Quite cool. https://india.mongabay.com/2020/12/gharials-bounce-back-in-punjab-but-the-real-test-is-breeding/
  9. Looks so beautiful, like a painting. With all the rivers and trees Punjab would have been teeming with life. Makes sense why our grandparents says Punjab was like heaven back in their days.
  10. Beautiful old Gurdwara in Pakistan. The wood work was from Kashmir while the glasswork came from Belgium! A Pakistani architect talks about the design and artwork of the Gurdwara. I think she's going to be renovating the building.
  11. Harika wetland in Punjab, the music is kind of annoying, but it looks like a beautiful place. Hard to believe that its man made! looks so ancient and untouched.
  12. Yeah I've been there, it looks very polluted. Factories release so much sewage and waste into the rivers in India its no surprise that they are so polluted. But you can't blame just the factories alone, even the general public treat rivers like a bin! Its funny because dharmic religions really stress the importance of the earth, nature and taking care of it, yet India is one of the dirtiest and most polluted countries on earth. But all its going to take is to just leave the rivers alone and nature slowly starts taking over again. Like in the last lockdown in India, when all the factories were closed and no industrial waste was being released into the Ganges, people spotted pods of the Ganges river dolphin, which is one of the rarest mammals on earth, and its an ancient species. All it takes is for humans to just stop spoiling it, and nature starts bouncing back in no time. During the lockdown in Punjab in the Beas river they spotted some Indus river dolphins after so many years. Who would think Punjab has dolphins, lol!
  13. How do I pronounce that symbol, what sound is it? Under the word klchray, under the L and Cha.
  14. People in India just don't care about the environment or cleanliness. When I went Hazur Sahib the first time, we were in some city and a lady came out of her house, emptied her bin on the streets and around 5 or 6 pigs came sprinting to the heap she emptied, and she just walked back into her house again! Punjab doesn't have pigs. The pigs in Nanded are like Hippos! they scared the crap out of me lmao! The cleanest place I've seen in India is Himachal Pradesh. Very natural, beautiful and clean. No rubbish on the sides of the roads. People look very healthy as well.
  15. That really is very clean compared to the rest of India, looks very beautiful. That's the cleanest body of water I've seen in India, its so clear. When I went Hazur Sahib, I went down to the Godhavri river, and the river was green! like a slimy green. I spoke to a fisherman there and he said its hard to catch fish because most of the fish are dead! My cousin told me that not to far from the spot where we were standing there's factories releasing industrial waste into the river and pipes releasing sewage! Interestingly the fisherman said that the Sikhs don't let people catch fish from the river and that they tell you off if your fishing. I thought Deccani Sikhs ate meat... Why don't naamdharis they drink tea?
  16. Yeah I like their dastaar. They faced a lot of persecution under the Brits, they were blown from cannons etc. Its one of the reasons why they never wore the Patiala Shahi type of Pagh, because that's the pagh that Brits made everyone wear. So they continued wearing the puratan style of dastar. Their dedication to preserve Sikhi is quite admirable in that sense. I think in the past they have protested against the destruction of trees and nature.
  17. What about Radhasoamis, how did they come about? They seem to be very popular in Punjab and other parts of Northern India. I think their current Guru is a woman.
  18. Their kirtan is very melodious and beautiful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlJ9w-bRbc0
