Yes but when you give give give and never receive it causes resentment which can cause anger. Those who benefit from seva must also give.

So, what’s wrong with that?  We don’t run there, we use decent means of transport to arrive there or anywhere else for that matter. For your information,  they also “run” if that’s the expression you prefer, to our lands as well as to others’ lands. This kind of migration is not a symptom of modern day globalisation! The Creator created  our mother earth for his creation  to inhabit it. It was globalised from day one of it’s inception. God didn’t make immigration rules or laws, man did.  Wakey-wakey!!

There isn't one South Asian country that would not be called 'developing'. It's pathetic on our part. The Orientals have several that are advanced. They are less egotistical and don't make fake boasts.

Again, nobody is under any obligation to accommodate us. Asking a question, even in a coarse, brusque manner is not evil racism.

Orientals are known for not having a politically correct filter. You want to change minds and hearts? Then explain what that "cloth" is on a Sikh's head, and its significance. You don't go crying to big daddy media hoping to propagandise, bully, and shame a corporate entity into change. That may work in the West, but you'll be met with resistance in the Far East, and it will lead to resentment and the eventual closing of doors to Sikhs.

Now, this guy has most likely led to the company in question developing a silent "No Sikh" policy whereby even the CV / resume of a Sikh applicant will be silently rejected under the pretence of some other reason, because the organisation assumes we're troublemakers.

So, actually, this "brave" act was poorly conceived and hastily executed, and it's done more long-term harm for Sikhs in that part of the world. 

I repeat: the Far East is not the West. There's a fundamental cultural difference that is hard to imagine for us sitting here. There are certain entities present in the cultural and corporate institutions in the West that are non-existent over there. There is no bending to so-called public will.

The answer isn't silence. The answer is to respond with "force" without burning bridges. Unfortunately, I think the subtleties of such issues are lost on us.

We are equally as bad. I have seen Nepalis and North Eastern Indians mocked in Punjab. The vast majority of the world is openly racist. We are in no position to complain.  

So we run to Chinese lands as well as Goreh lands.

I like a bit of Judaism, I like a bit of Christianity, I like a bit of moon god, I'm a horny devil, let me create Islam.

Show this to those <banned word filter activated> Sikhs in Delhi who were protesting alongside the suls and dishing out langar.

Using that logic, you can't disprove leprechauns and fairies.

I'm guessing that most of the people who go to this school are from around the Slough area.

You have two types of schools in Slough - Grammar and regular Secondary schools.

To get into the Grammar schools you have to pass your 11 plus. Therefore the clever and academically minded students go to the Grammar schools and the others who fail go to these other secondary schools, none of which have a good reputation. My parents made me study very hard to make sure I made it into a grammar school!

This school is most likely full of kids who aren't academically minded and as a result will never have a good reputation. There were plenty of wasters in the Grammar schools, I can only imagine how much worse it is in the secondary schools.

Someone where along the way, perhaps around the middle of the previous century onwards, rebellion was normalised as a rite of passage for most youth. It's been fetished and lauded as a positive quality -- something to aspire to by pandering to the belief that originality and intelligence stem from rebelling -- so much so that most youngsters do it unthinkingly as if it's expected of them. Sikhs, being the sheep they are, fall for and embrance these trends with more enthusiasm than other groups. A shallow, base mentality for a shallow and base people.

Yes the post war era is when this took place. Just look at 1950s American culture, Elvis and James Dean.

When you have 3 daughters, it can be difficult. They will all try to rebel and the father has little chance to stand his ground, 4 women against 1 guy.

I think we must take into consideration that one of the factors which shows such a low fertility rate for Punjab is because so many youth are going abroad compared to the other states. If this was not a factor then our fertility rate should probably be near same as Haryana's.

No it wouldn't. In Haryana there are still a lot of child marriages happening compared to Punjab.

I'm sick of it to be honest.

I remember when the BBC produced a fictional drama on muslim grooming gangs 10 years ago. Where do they decided to set it? Bradford? Rotherham? Oxford? High Wycombe? Nope, in Southall! With plenty of backdrops of the Havelock Road Gurdwara.

Have any of you seen the front page of today's Guardian newspaper? There's a massive picture of a Singh wearing a mask in Leicester. The story is about how Leicester has had an increase in Corona cases and that another lockdown is required. It is implying that Leicester is full of dirty immigrants.

Out of all of the different ethnic groups that live in Leicester why did they choose a Sikh? Are we just fair game to them? They are too scared to put up a picture of a Muslim woman in a hijab or woman in a sari so they just pick on us because we just take it lying down.

Muslims are 18% of the city, Hindus are 15%, we are a miniscule part of the population, our percentage of the population is not even mentioned on Wikipedia. If they were talking about Southall then fair enough but this is gujju (both hindu and muslim) central.

The guardian is a trashy Muslim pandering paper.

You're right, he and his siblings are Christians. I think his dad is a Sikh. It just goes to show the weakness of our religion when even the man can't make his own kids Sikh.

I have heard abt giani ji a lil bit in the local gurudwara. And yea one of the problem we as a panth have is that majority of our people dont accept people from diff religion, hence our numbers are this low. Only if we convinced ambedkar to follow sikhi im sure we sikhs would have gotten khalsa raj after 84. 

That Ambedkar story is a big myth. He coverted to Buddhism and very few Hindu Dalits followed him into doing the same.

The overwhelming majority are still Hindus. If he became a Sikh the Dalits would still have remained Hindus.

It's time we stopped peddling this myth, it only makes us look dumb and desperate.

Only slightly. Football is king, can be played in all weather conditions, is a simple game and much more 'trendy'

Cricket is even behind rugby in popularity in the upper-middle class typess

Yep, I work in IT and even most middle class English men I've worked with prefer football.

Rugby is also seen as a cool sport, you have to be very strong, fast and fit to play it. It's also fast paced.

I do like cricket but I can see why many don't.

present day professional cricketers hv gr8 athleticism. T20 cricket is short and very popular and present day cricketers earn lots of money.

Yes compared to the cricketers from the 90s, but still nowhere near the fitness or athleticism of football, rugby, basketball players. There are still fat cricketers around. T20 still takes over 3 hours to complete.

Furthermore most English fans don't even take ODI or T20s seriously. They prefer test cricket by far. There weren't even that many celebrations when England won the World Cup last year.

There's a lot more emphasis on football compared to cricket from my experience.The KFF tournaments were very popular when I was growing up. Good memories going around the country with your team mates.

Yeah, Sikhs are much more into football than cricket. 

In the wider UK public cricket has a negative image. It's considered slow, boring, takes too long to complete and doesn't require the most athleticism.
