Inter racial relationships (non-sexual) between Sikhs is ok. If things become serious between the female and male sikh partner then best to get married. As for falling in being with someone of a different religion that is against sikhi because our only attachment and love should be to our lord waheguru, when shaheeds of Sikhism were cut to pieces they only remembered the name of the lord in true love and they embraced marytrdom without any care of this world, that is the love we need to have for our lord. He is everything and everyone. But as humans we are weak if we need to fall in love with someone it should be of the same religion and ideally should be your husband/wife who who are intending to spend the rest of your life with.
I think this is straying away from what the original poster was saying... I think the original poster was asking what we feel about an inter-religious relationship; for example where one person is a Sikh and the other person is of a diff faith...

Basically im from uk starting 2nd yr uniiii
but i want to complete final yr in canada so how do i go about finding out if i can
got any email adress contacts for uni's in canada toronto , vancouver area? cant find any on the net.
it depends on which program you want to complete and also if the uni's you want to go to are actually offering that program.. then you have to find out of those universities offering those programs will transfer your credits and all that good stuff... sometimes they will transfer all, sometimes they will transfer most but might require you to make up some other credits...
find out where you would ideally like to live.. then research universities/colleges in that city.. and find out which offer the program you are seeking... then when u find that out, contact the university administrators via email or phone and let them know your intentions and they will tell you the process to go through... also, remember that your marks might make a huge difference in whether they will accept you or not...
good luck...

it could be that all the writers in bani were of 'male' background... and for a male, the biggest temptation would be a female.. that could be why its regarded as a female character... however, i think its just metaphorically speaking... cuz we all know maya is just anything that takes us away from God... i would say the strongest element to derive our minds would be lust... which is why a lot of Bhagat Kabeer Jee's writings are taking against 'female'; which is not really against women, but the notion of "maya" which is given a feminine characteristic...

gur fateh ji !
idk bt it just came to my mind as i was driving home....... that is it really wrong to fall in love with someone from another religion or is it just our parents talking ??? ( u dnt hav same background! wat will u teach the kids? u ll lose your values!)
just needed some feedback ! ( and i m not in a relationship! ) (lol)
just curious abt wat does our youth think?
at the end of the day you want somebody who compliments your spirituality and doesn't take you away from your faith (in our case, sikhi) in any way... Also i don't think it would be progressive to be married to somebody who does things that are against your beliefs (for example... if one person is amritdhari and marries someone of a different faith who cuts their hair or drinks or whatever -- or even something like 'ritualistic fasting' or whatever)...
remember, marriage is a spiritual bond more then anything.. and yes, kids are a huge part too.. for those couples who are of diff faith, this becomes a battle ground and causes a lot of tension... one parent might want to raise the children with their beliefs, and the other with their own... and for the child it can be very confusing and harmful...
just gotta do whats best for ur spirituality, in my opinion...

This line "Of course, other powerful, populous, and hungry countries, such as China and India, will also have designs on these energy-rich regions, which will probably result in significant wars" puts serious doubts on author's credibility. India neither has the political will nor the military resources to march upon this kind of adventure.
I have to disagree.. India has a lot of natural resources/food resources and a LOT of military...

i've heard a lot about this recently... so i did my own research about the topic... what do you all think? its not just a 'conspiracy theory', but its apparently been studied and 'proven' with documentation and testimony from those scientists involved in the creation of this 'virus'...
apparently it was created by the American gov't (surprise surprise)..

The world economy is not going to collapse. This is a routine correction in the marketplace. It might be a little bit more strong then other recent corrections, but it will give way soon enough. In fact, this is a great time for investors to start putting money into the markets. However, one of the major challenges now that we are facing that we really haven't faced before is that the correlation between the major markets is getting more tight. For example, it used to be that if the US economy was going down, one of the other major economies would go up, and vice verse. But due to the increase of globalization the world economy is getting 'smaller and smaller' and are coming in line with eachother. Now it seems when one major economy starts to tumble, others are more affected by it then ever before.
However, have no fear, the market upside is near The market is 'on sale' and will be back up in a matter of 6-12 months... might seem like a long time, but its really not. There have been far worse recessions in history and this doesn't compare. It just so happens that all these major companies (majority american) are going belly-up at the same time. But we in Canada are still pretty strong (WAY better shape then the US), and europe is still hanging in there. The markets will always go up-down-up-down; but that will always been in an upward direction (over the long term). In history, there has never been a decade with less then 10% returns, even if u take into consideration the last 4 recessions we've been through.
So, moral of the story; don't worry, be happy
Where there is great challenges, there is even greater opportunities

I think its just practical. Think about it, especially when you have hundreds, even thousands of sangataa, you don't want any chance for there to be any 'hanky panky' goin on or some 'looking' or any of that.. Its most simple to keep men and women separated... Best to stop something (or at least limit greatly) from happening before it does...
its no biggie though.. at the end of the day, our focus should be on Guru Sahib anywayz... not about who's sittin where or whatever... all these petty little things just distract us from the real important things...

I think separations in communities have been around for thousands of years. Unfortunately its become a part of human nature. It seems to be a lot worse in some areas as compared to others; India is a good example of that. But I think History has played a big part in that... especially when u look at the number of different cultures, religions, ethnicities etc... that are co-mingled in india... and not to mention the cross-breeding and all that stuff... there must've always been the 'status' thing where one group says to another 'I'm better then you' or 'I have more power' etc... I think its something that will alwayz be there and its something that we shud try to fix to the best of our ability.... even within Religions there's sects and sub-sects who treat eachother like crap... in Sikhi its relevant even between different sangats/jatthas .... "caste" and all that stuff also plays a huge role in this as welll

Don't worry, most sikhs here, at least the hardcore ones, don't associate with India anyway, so it wouldn't matter to them.
so... that would make me hardcore, because i don't associate with India?... interesting....

'Thousands die' in India custodyBy Chris Morris
BBC News, Delhi
Most custody deaths are a result of torture, the group says (Photo: Prashant Ravi)Nearly 7,500 people have died in official custody in India over the past five years, according to a report by a human rights group.
The report by Delhi-based Asian Centre for Human Rights says many of these people were tortured in custody.
It says the Indian government is in a state of denial about torture.
Even when action is taken against officials who are accused of wrongdoing, the report argues, the system tries to cover up any crimes.
The Indian report was released to coincide with the United Nations' global day against torture on Thursday.
The rights group has collated official figures and found that 7,468 people - that is four people every day - have died in prison or police custody since 2002.
Appalling
Nearly all the deaths, it says, were the result of torture.
But the government routinely attributes deaths in custody to illness, attempted escape, suicide and accidents.
Suhas Chakma, director of the Asian Centre for Human Rights, says prosecuting responsible officials takes a long time in India, and leads to a "culture of impunity".
"It takes about 25-30 years to prosecute somebody. And by that time many of the accused are dead, or possibly the relatives that have filed a complaint are dead," he said.
"So there is a culture of impunity which is given by the government of India, and I think this is the single most important factor which is encouraging torture."
The report also criticises an appalling record of torture among armed groups which fight against the Indian state - highlighting in particular the actions of Maoist rebels.
But the onus is on the government, it says, to improve its record.
Torture, it recommends, must be made a specific criminal offence. And the government should ratify the United Nations Convention against Torture without delay.

Yes, of course as God he was all-knowing. But as a human being, Jesus was not a high intellectual. And he didn't only speak to great thinkers, students or scientists, but for ordinary people, and he himself lived the life of nordinary people. That's all I'm saying.
That doesn't make sense... that paragraph just contradicted itself... u said he's all knowing, but not high intellectual.. a person can be of high intellect and enlightened and still live a simple and ordinary life... i.e. Guru Nanak Dev Jee
And to answer your question, Jesus didn't disagree with anything in the New Testament : he came to accomplish. The whole story of the Old Testament is the announcing of a Saviour to come who would save man of his sin. And Jesus is this Saviour. The Old and New Testament aren't separate, they are a complete unity : the Old Testament announces Jesus, the New Testament tells of his coming.Jesus would have been capable to write his own Testament, surely. But there was no need for it : the New Testament is simply the testimony of what Jesus did, by those who believed in him while he was on Earth, for those who believe in him after he left Earth.
You have just admitted it not being needed...Thus its creation is the word of man, not the word of God...

HYow do I know that the apostles didn't invent things, and put their own ideas in Jesus'mouth. Well, I don't know. I can of course say that logically, as the apostles themselves believed in Jesus, they had no reason to do it. But you're right, I have no proof of it. Coming to a certain point it's just blind faith.
its good that you can admit that.. most people would not...
Was Jesus very educated ? Well, what is sure is that he could read and write, because he does so in the Gospel. Certainly he knew the Old Testament very well, as a Jew who took his faith seriously. But further... Jesus was a carpenter of the small town of Nazareth. By the time, education was expensive, and only for the richest families. So no, I don't think he was a high intellectual.I'm confused... don't you think Jesus as God? and isn't God all-knowing? If Jesus was truly the being you see him to be, then yes, he would know all, and would be able to write his own testament.
A question arises to my mind; If Jesus knew the Old Testament, and he followed it seriously, why the need to create a New Testament? Or, if there were things he didn't agree with in the Old Testament, being a 'God-Being', God would have ordained him to create a New Testament by His own hand, no?

I don't see anything wrong with the conversation. He's asked questions, we've answered them, and the conversation has progressed forward. He's made statements and we're asking questions on those statements. This seems to be a mature conversation, in my opinion. He's already stated he doesn't feel offended or threatened by this conversation.
All the questions he's asked have been answered, and now we're asking him questions on his faith; is there anythig wrong with that? Not in my opinion..
When he asks more questions, I'm sure we'll be more then happy to answer them to the best of our ability.
