I really hope this is true. All of these twitter posts that I see here are so depressing. Makes me feel that the world outside my tiny little house is so hostile and dangerous.

It would help if you stopped spreading hate regarding Sikh women. Some Sikh women do choose to remain celibate until marriage. You implying that all Sikh women have a loose character is very insulting.

I think you dodged a bullet mate! A high value lady who knows her worth would not be willing to settle.

This sounds very scary. I hope you and your family are doing ok. Take time out each day for yourself, and mediate and do simran.

I have heard this story before. A very long time ago but can't for the life of me remember it. It's really bugging me now. What is the full story? I need to know!

OP - a beautiful article! On the topic of interfaith marriages, I have never understood why the Sikh person would make their non-Sikh partner go through a ceremony that they do not understand, believe in or respect. What must the non-Sikh person think of it all? To them, it must seem like a pointless charade that they partake in just for the sake of it. It is my understanding that interfaith marriages almost always take place by conducting two ceremonies, one for each faith. Strangely, one ceremony is not considered to be enough. As if, it is not altogether binding and they require another to be actually married. If this is the case, then which ceremony do they consider to hold more weight? I would have thought that any sensible person would ask themselves these questions before going taking part in two very different ceremonies. It does not seem to be the case these days, though. Also, I can not even think of the costs involved, one couple paying for two weddings. These people have too much money, or perhaps I am too poor, not sure which (probably the latter). Also, what is happening with interfaith Anand Karajs at the moment? I am not up the date with the news. Are the Gurudwaras still allowing them, or are they completely banned now?

Well done Awnit Singh Marta! Inspiration for others!

Hmm....sounds very worrying because people are treating their partners as if they are a "thing" that can be easily exchanged and replaced. What could be the potential solutions?

Recently, I have been feeling alone, lost and directionless. So, I've been wondering does Waheguru have a purpose for me? I'm currently in a very tough situation as I'm facing a huge challenge. Has he placed me in this situation for a particular reason? Or is all this is just a stroke of bad luck? On the other hand, I feel that I have certain privileges that others don't. Is this for a reason? I feel that I may be able to achieve something, but I'd have to face my fears to do that. Has he made sure that I am strong enough to do this? At times, I feel that he must know what I am going through, and he wouldn't just abandon me. So, perhaps there is a point to all this suffering. The issues that I mention are mostly career-related, and I will not provide any details. Also, do you think Waheguru has a specific mission/purpose for you? If yes, then what is it? I am looking forward to your thoughtful comments. Thanks!

Aha! Saron da tel! It can work wonders but only if you really believe in it. Back home it is a remedy for almost everything. You graze yourself: use saron da tel You bruise yourself: use saron da tel You get stung by an insect: use saron da tel You have a swelling: use saron da tel You have a headache: use saron da tel Need a moisturiser: use saron da tel Want greasy hair: use saron da tel Want to light a lamp (the little clay ones with wicks): use saron da tel You have a problem and don't know what to do: use saron da tel If you don't believe me then just ask your mum. She'll confirm it all!

Singh Brothers ship internationally! You can order online!

This sort of stuff makes me feel ashamed for being from the jatt community Sorry man! I hope you find someone soon

Really? This still happens? in UK?

Why do parents do this to their kids?

The first poem is beautiful. Who is the author?

Receiving criticism is never a pleasant experience, so I understand that you were not happy about his comment. As a Sikh woman, I must say that I'm quite impressed by this Singh's attitude. It is rare to encounter a man who treats women as their equal. Saris usually show a lot of skin, and many people might think that it is indecent. However, he made no such remark. He did not look at you like a woman who was not dressed decently. Instead, he looked at you like a warrior who was not well prepared. I think this man was informing you of your duties towards the Panth, and he wanted you to be better equipped to undertake those duties. I know that you were attending a wedding and not fighting in a battle, but it is a matter of principle.
