I haven't yet. I really want to though, but I don't have amazon prime. I might watch it with a mate some time in the future. Have you seen it? What did you think of it?

I feel like it. Most of my relatives are from majha, and even the ones that aren't that religious are pretty good. However, my mates' relatives from doaba and malwa, well, if anyone in my family was like that they'd be kicked out the house.

lmaooo I thought old mate sidhu retired from the entertainment gand cause he's with congress now. But the thing is, punjabis will enjoy this low iq shite, I was complaining to my mum the other day about how all these punjabi movies are about getting married or something, there's more to movies than getting married. Just create a proper masterpiece, but I highly doubt that it will get as much attention as some of that shite.

Look, your average white Australian doesn't know, and probably doesn't care either. They've probably never been introduced to Sikhs, cause majority of us live in outer suburbs, while the ones that live in our areas might know that we exist and could know a bit but that's not that many people. We have the occasional that know a decent amount, but it's not that common.

Mate, did you hear about he entire Novak Djokovic issue? Look, I would say the western Australian government probably treated it's own people the worst, it's been almost a year and you can't get in there without a proper reason, and otherwise you have to quarantine, even the poms had to quarantine extra for the ashes so they moved it to Hobart.

If you're talking about how Australia is potrayed as a police state, then most of it is bs. I'm from melbourne, where we had the longest lockdown out of everywhere, and mate, during the second one, more than half the people did not give a sh1t and went around visiting their mates and having illegal parties. And the police doesn't have complete power, it's basically like every other country where they get told to fck off. Idk about vaccine mandates and the rest of the world, we need to get vaccinated ot go to places, but I remember walking in a store (I had it on my phone), and the lady didn't give a fck, and doesn't the rest of the world have mandates as well (I'm not aware of the mandate in other countries). Same with masks, yeah we're supposed to wear them, but you won't get arrested or fined straight away if you're not wearing one, a lot of people don't give a sh1t.

I've never done bhangra on stages or taken any classes (only in my room with the door locked). My parents put me in kirtan (which I still do) and I did a bit of gatka growing up as well. I haven't been a fan of bhangra and promoting it as our culture, but if I were to have this conversation with one of those 'cultured' Punjabis, how could I explain to them why bhangra is so fcked up.

Most of my family that's going abroad is like that. Even the ones that are not into sikhi know their boundaries. Which area in Punjab are these people from? The people I'm talking about are from the majha area, and some of them are near Mehta chownk.

I'm not sure about that considering literally of the younger people in my family started moving abroad in the past 4 years. Did these people come from rich parents? Cause the young people in my family were okay, they weren't too comfortable, but they went to the local private schools, however their parents couldn't afford to pay for all of this. Also, are these people into sikhi? I am fortunate to have a good amount of family that are into sikhi so they don't do this whole going out and dating too much and the spending parents money on kaljug things. Also, the parents are really strict.

I want to do seva but I'm not sure about getting married there. I've seen some of the blokes there and the way they think (same with the women there as well), for them it's a free visa, there are some decent ones, but they're getting harder and harder to find. I'm not too sure about moving back there because it's becoming increasingly difficult to find a job, however, I would like to open a business and create well paying jobs.

Oh the people that have moved abroad as young people in my family have been repaying their parents back and been working pretty hard abroad to pay for themselves. It's sad to see the kids not taking any responsibilities or becoming independent. We're not going to get anywhere if our majority can't look after themselves.

Family pressure? Wow. A lot of my extended family are pretty rich and have really good jobs and connections so they're staying there for another couple of generations. I'm not looking to move back to Punjab cause I've seen the mentalities of the people and the way they think, tbh I'm so grateful my parents moved here or otherwise I probably would have been surrounded by these brainwashed people and become like them. However, if everything goes well, I am looking to go to Punjab and potentially open up an industry or a business there to create jobs. Also looking to do seva with the Sikhs in full poverty, esp those who suffered a lot from 1984.

I get why these people move abroad, my parents did the same after they couldn't find a well paying job even through they worked their arses off for their degrees. But I feel like instead of running away from the problem, which is what is happening, and glorifying it in the name of the Punjabi entertainment, why not fix it.

Yeah every now and then I listen to Punjabi music a bit (not something I'm too proud of), the thing is, listening to this Punjabi music a bit, I don't think there's anything too wrong with that, however, we have these poonjabis making this their entire personality and putting the poonjabi culture over Sikhi. We are literally known for bhabgra and that bs.

Oh my god thank you. Literally pisses me off when I see all this. This stuff is all business, not marriage. Our people should focus on building a good homeland in Punjab, actually create jobs their and make it them well paying and worth staying in. Create a better place. And the entertainment industry, well we need another company that makes different type of movies from the classic, girl is abroad, boy is some random pendu from India, girl hates boy but boy likes girl and then comes the creepy following around and stalking and stuff, girl eventually likes the boy and they get married. Like bro, there is so much more different potential we have but nope, we just have to have these types of movies.

I don't even know what to think. I was literally crying to my mum about this a couple of minutes ago, it's disgusting.

WT F THAT KID WAS 14 WHAT DID HE EXPECT AND THAT WAS TO A MARRIED WOMAN. My heart breaks seeing her get tortured. And the fact that people were cheering just shows how fcked up India is, especially delhi. These people need to be given the nihang Singh treatment, not the police one because I highly doubt they would do anything. I feel like to prevent this situation in the future, Sikhs need to be fully armed as much as they can, there's nothing else to protect them, just get the 3ft kirpan out or the guns.

We never have amritdhari Sikhs pushing for this, we just have these people who 200 hundred years ago would not have been considered Sikhs pushing for this. It also seems like these people only care about this LGBT stuff when it comes to Sikh issues, whenever there is beadbi or anything actually important they remain silent. Think I saw one of the trans blokes doing tobacco and weed and this stuff and then justifying it in the name of mental health, like yeah mate mental health is important, but you gotta stay in the line of Sikhi, they do all this kurehits and then find excuses, bro these excuses aren't gonna work when the dharamraj is gonna ask you about smoking and stuff.

When I don't have time in the mornings, especially in those school mornings, I give myself 30 minutes to sit down and do it. The remaining bani I do while tying my dastaar or brushing my kesh. Sorry, should have clarified.

Haven't been on tiktok for a while. I kind of don't want to know, but what things did you see on tiktok?

It's because these congress and akalis promise things to certain people. I have family back in punjab and I remeber constantly trying to convince them to not vote for congress or akali but no luck, some of them you'd rather bash your head against a brick wall then try to argue with them, no use. They often promise them government jobs and stuff, in exchange for votes, otherwise the well paying government jobs are basically impossible to get, which is we have so many punjabi sikhs moving abroad, happen to a few of my second cousins. Another reason they vote for these akali and congress is because of 'connection'. A lol of people in my family have connections with them, some are related to them. So basically if you're out and you have the punjab police asking for stuff, and your missing a few papers or don't have a licence, they'll just call one of these politicians, pr pretend to, and get away without paying anything. In punjab, it's pretty difficult to get certificates, so if you ask one of the politicians, they'll make stuff 'easier'. Also, if you do illegal things, which is really common in punjab, a lot excape jail by calling one of these politicians.

When I do have kids, which will be in like 15 years, I'm not going to work full time, I feel it's better to take time off work when they're really young and then work part time a few days a week until they're all at least 10-11. The husband can take an extra day off as well if that works. Then make sure to have as much time for them. Men often do turn over everything to the family, and they often do place themselves last with money, but they abuse the power of them being the providers, and often they can do what ever the f they want around the house, say whatever they want, treat their wife however they want and then the wife can't do or say anything back because she has nothing,because he is the provider and because without him she can't go anywhere. Really messes the kids up, and often the son ends up thinking he can be like that when he's married, so you have the daughter basically have to make sure that the son ends up respecting women and being a decent human. In the future, I don't want to live under a roof with anyone else's mother. I have seen several families where you have one or both parents still working part time without any in-laws and still raising the kids well. I would love for parents and in-laws to help, they can live in the same neighbourhood or around us, but just not live under the same roof in the same house.

4 kids is the plan. A lot of young women don't want to live with their in laws, including myself, because they have seen what has happen to their mothers. I know so many immigrant Punjabi women, including some people from my family, that if they had not settled abroad away from their in laws, then they would not have survived because of how messed up and controlling the families are. It is possible to have 4 kids without living with the in laws and the mother still working part time. I have a southern European friend with 4 siblings in total, with a few that are below the age of 12, and the mother still works part time. You can have the siblings, in-laws, parents and other family helping, but not live under the same roof. A lot of young women, including myself, don't want to stop working completely because they don't want to be 100% dependant on the husband for money because they have seen the consequences of that to their mothers and others around them.

A stereotype for those Punjabi Sikh brown guys is that they're f-boys.

There are some people here and there that don't know how to ask a question properly. I live in the outer suburbs of Melbourne, there's a lot of immigrants, so there's not that much racism, there's a decent amount of Lebanese in my area, some of them are racist but it's not too much. I now started going to school in the inner suburbs, where you have all these white people, and it definitely exists a bit, but it's not too common. A few of my mates, East and South Asian, have faced a bit of racism. The other month in the tram, a few of mates were telling me that a group of white boys started purposely out loud to each other saying this racist stuff to each other cause there were browns and Asians on the tram. Generally here, people literally take the piss out of everything, and crack a lot of offensive jokes here and there, so some people could find some of that racist.
