The problem is that after the Christian missionaries were roughed up outside of Punjab in the late 90s they switched their activities to Punjab. Because there was no opposition to their activities in Punjab they have increased their activities. The sad fact is that rather than opposing the Christian missionaries the Sikh organisations have actually been helping them by criticising the Hindus who are opposing the missionaries outside Punjab. The missionaries even had the nerve to appeal to the Akal Takht for support against the attacks by Hindu organisations. The Sikh organisations need to wake up otherwise like what happened in the 1870s with the case of Arya Samaj the Sikh youth who are worried about the attacks on their religion by the Christians will start to join the Hindu organisations and the Sikh organisations will lose their relevance.

We have been reading about Ghar Wapsi outside Punjab but now there is news of Ghar Wapsi in Punjab. But before we panic it appears that the RSS are doing the job that the SGPC and Akali Dal should be doing. Apparently Badal has promised the Christians in Punjab that he will build Maseehi Bhawans in all the Districts of Punjab! While some members of the SGPC are working with the RSS to reconvert Christians to Sikhism the SGPC spokesman who appears to be a complete <banned word filter activated> uses the Shaheedi of Guru Tegh Bahadur as an excuse to why the SGPC is not stopping the Christian missionaries converting poor Sikhs to Christianity. http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/in-punjab-sangh-works-for-return-to-sikhism-as-well-sad-fumes/ The AISSF and other Sikh organisations should have been the ones who should have been conducting Ghar Wapsi in Punjab but they have left the field open for the RSS.

For a Pakistani you don't know much of your own history. It was because Urdu was thrust upon the Bengalis by force that was one of the main reasons that your country broke into two. So this doesn't tally with your statement above. Your unity excuse is as bogus as your attempt to portray yourself as a Sikh. In every country around the world there has never an attempt to unify a country with diverse languages by having an official language which is the mother tongue of less than 8% of the population. It is always the language of the majority that becomes the official language. This would be akin to a country like Switzerland making its official language Italian which is spoken by 10% of the population rather than German which is spoken by 65% of the population or French which is spoken by 23% of the population. The real reason that the Punjabi Muslims have such a low regard for Punjabi is because Punjabi has become synonymous with the Sikhs. This is the case because the Sikhs have been the ones who have given their mother tongue its due status. It was the Sikhs in the late 18th century that nearly succeeded in getting Punjabi as the official language of Punjab during the British rule. The Punjabi Muslims supported Urdu and the Punjabi Hindus wanted Hindi. Even though there are the same number of Punjabi Hindus in India, ask any non-Punjabi Hindu of what the first thing he thinks of when he hears the word Punjabi and he will nearly always say a Sikh.

We've discussed how the Muslim Punjabi has disowned his own language which is an important indicator of how a person defines themselves. The Sindhis have not disowned Sindhi and neither have the Pathans or the Baluch disowned their own languages. The Punjabi Pakistani is unique in having disowned his own language while smaller population around Pakistan have kept their own language, Just how complete have been this betrayal of the Punjabi language can be seen from the data below from the census in Australia. in 2011 there were 30221 persons in Australia who were born in Pakistan. yet only about 1000 Muslims gave their language as Punjabi! That equates to 3.3% of Pakistanis who gave their language as Punjabi!!! I

It is not either or. It can be that we have a Khalistan, where our rights are protected and where we can look to guidance and yet still be widespread around the world. Look at the Jews,, less than 50% of their people live in Israel yet no Jew says that Israel would cease to exist. For the Sikhs to be strong and safe around the world they need a Khalistan to support them and look after their interests around the world.

If we disregard the BS coming from this malang fool pretending to be a Sikh, the future of Punjabi is only safe with state support. This is why Khalistan in essential because only by having Khalistan can both Sikhi and the Punjabi language survive in the world. The UK promotes English through the British council, France promotes French through alliance francaise and the Germans promote German language through the Goethe Institute. Similarly a future Khalistan would need to promote Punjabi around the world.

Pakistan is a failed state. The Pathans hate the Punjabi Muslims who then hate the Sindhis and the Baluch. The best thing to happen would be for Pakistan to have a civil war when people have to make choices whether they are Pakistanis or Sindhis or Baluchis etc. The same thing happened with East Pakistan when the native Bengali Muslims made the choice that they were more Bengali than Pakistani. The UP and Bihari bhaiyas who settled in East Pakistan in 1947 who supported the West Pakistanis were then either kicked out of Bangladesh or live in refugee camps even now.

If population is the criteria, then isn't the future of South Asia in the hands of the Hindus? Isn't the future of the world with the Christians? You do write some crap so please do everyone a favour and stop pretending to be a Sikh. No is buying your islamic BS here.

There is no doubt that Punjab has a drug problem but we have tendency to exaggerate everything. If some youth in Punjab and too lazy to work in their family's fields, we say all the youth of Punjab are workshy. If there are some youth who are on drugs in the village then suddenly every youth in Punjab is an addict. There has never been a study of how bad addiction is in Punjab but the newspapers will always misquote a study done which they misquote to say that 75% of Punjab youth are addicted to drugs. The actual report was done on 600 ADDICTS and found that 75% were between the ages of 16-35 years. As I said there is a drug problem and Sikhs should be doing their utmost to eradicate it but it takes the biscuit when a Muslim pretending to be a Sikh comes on here trying to claim Muslim supremacy over the Sikh Punjabis. The Muslim Punjabi have worst problems but they always sweep these under the carpet.

Sorry mate, I don't believe you. You are either a Ahmedi liar or a Muslim practising Taqqaiya or a lax Muslim. If you don't know what that word is then look it up because it doesn't look good that a Sikh has to explain your religion to you. I could be wrong and you could be a Muslim who does not really understand his religion and your natural humanity has kept you from practising your religion to the full. Hence you appear to be a rational human being rather than an Islamic drone which is what Islam turns many normal human beings into. Islamic State, the Taliban and Boko Haram as well as Al Qaeda are the ones who are practising their religion to the full. If the sight of Yazidi women being kept as sex slaves disgusts you then remember this was what the Muslims did to your ancestors a few short centuries ago and this is the reason that you are a Muslim. The Taliban did or tried to do everything that Mohammed recommended. They tried to kill only those schoolchildren that had passed puberty. Unfortunately in the confused atmosphere they also killed some of the younger children and THIS is the only thing that they did which was against Islam. Had they only killed schoolchildren over the age of say 12 then the massacre would have been in like with the teachings of your prophet. Everything that IS, AQ, BH and Taliban do is justified by Islam. Unfortunately the short post that put on here cannot be justified by Islam. As a Muslim you must hate the non-Muslims for the sake of Allah. That's a basic requirement.

There is a difference between being able to read the Quran and understanding the Quran. Vast majority of Punjabi Muslims who can read the Quran do not understand what they are reading. That is why they always have to refer to the Mullah. I also think you are wrong is assuming that majority of Muslims can read the Quran. The literacy rate in any language was only 60% in 2010. So literacy in Arabic must be miniscule. No when your opinion is clearly not based on facts and has the smell of Muslim propaganda then I accuse you of being a Muslim liar.

Not really. Sikhs are more open about problems in our community but Muslims always brush these under the carpet. If it had not been for the dozens of court cases of Paedostanis the Pakistanis would still be claiming that there was no problem of child grooming by Paedostanis. Punjabi Muslim girls have been trendsetters. I remember the first 'asian' strippers in the UK in the early 90s were two Punjabi Muslim girls. Pakistanis have problems in their community like other south asian communities.

These intellectual capacity of these Hijabis can be judged from the fact that they believe that if they do not cover up then men will not be able to control themselves and will pounce on them. Here's a video about sexual harassment in Muslim countries, even of Hijabi women!

You are a typical Muslim liar. I doubt you are a Sikh. Your BS posts read like the same one some Muslim Arian i.diot has been writing on various Sikh forums. Punjabi Sikhs have been the ones who have held on to Punjabi culture while the Muslim Punjabis are Arab clones even lying that their ancestors came from outside South Asian when they are for the most part descendants of low caste Hindus or Hindus who were converted by the sword. There is no difference between their ancestors and these Yazidis who were only recently converted by force to Islam.

It's interesting that there are no debates between 'true' Muslims and 'fake' Muslims on the web. You get Muslim debating all sorts of stuff bringing their Islamic BS into everything but where are the so-called moderates debating with the extremists? There aren't any because sorry to blow all your bubbles but ISIS, Bokok Haram and Taliban are living examples of what Islam is. A so-called moderate Muslim would not have a leg to stand on which his Islam means Peace BS. The moderates are just lax Muslims who do not take their religion seriously but they will never challenge the extremists because they know that they would be beaten as their moderate views are not Islamic. What ISIS did to the Yazidis, killing the men and raping the women and enslaving the children is exactly with Mohammed did during his career. How many Muslims have you seen condemning what ISIS did to the Yazidis? BTW did anyone else notice the irony of the murderer Modi condemning the murder of innocent school children!

This is very sad but you have to face facts, this is Pakistan's chickens coming home to roost. They have been playing a double game taking money from the USA and pretending to be an ally in the war against terror and yet they protected Bin Laden and the Al Qaeda leadership. They back the Taliban in Afghanistan and allowed the Taliban to use their territory to attack NATO troops.

Muslim Punjabis are becoming more Arab than Punjabi. They have betrayed their language by taking to Urdu which is the language of the Bhaiyas of UP and Bihar. At least the Sikhs have been successful in getting Punjabi language status in India as well as in England, USA, Canada and Malaysia etc. The Muslim Punjabis can't even teach Punjabi in their own state which shows how slavish their mentality is. Look at other aspects of Punjabi culture, Kabaddi the national game of Punjab has been taken to other parts of the world and this has been solely due to the Sikhs. In terms of numbers the Muslim Punjabi might be more than Sikh Punjabis but if the future of the Punjabi people is that they become Arab clones then the future is certainly in the hands of the Muslim Punjabi. If the future of the Punjabi people is that they become a drain on economies of the different countries around the world than the future belongs to the Muslim Punjabi because like all Muslims they tend to claim benefits rather than make a positive contribution to the countries they have moved to. The Muslim Punjabi because they marry their cousin sisters and cousin brothers also drain the free heathcare systems around the world because of the genetic diseases they become victims of by following Mohammed's advice. If the future of the Punjabi people globally is to go from being positive contributors to the countries they have moved to becoming leeches then the future belongs to the Muslim Punjabis.

How could the Sikhs have fought on? They would have faced the might of the British empire and the Muslims and Hindus in Punjab would have gladly joined in the fight against the Sikhs. The Sikhs were less than 10% of the population of Punjab and would have had been up against 90% of the population and the British army. There was no unity amongst even this 10%, you had half of the Sikhs under the rule of the Sikh states like Patiala. The Sikhs chose the best course of action for that time which was to work within the system of the empire. No Sikh believes that what the British did to the Sikh empire was a good thing and the British have always betrayed the Sikhs whenever they had the chance. The latest being Thatcher and her aid to the Indian govt in planning Bluestar. There is no shame in what the Sikhs from the period of 1849-1947 did in joining the army. If anything, having hundreds of thousands of former soliders in Punjab prevented the Sikhs from losing East Punjab to the Muslims. The shame is on the side of the British who betrayed the Sikhs. I do agree in one respect with you. Sikhs nowadays are too eager to prove themselves loyal to the British even when the same British betrayed them in 1947 and again in 1984. If these British are now facing bombs and terrorism from Muslim terrorists mainly of Pakistani origin then this is just their chickens coming home to roost. It was the British that allowed the wahabis in India to launch a Jihad against the Sikh empire to weaken it in the 1830s. Also the biggest British sin is that they destroyed Sikh sovereignty and the whole Sikh nation has had to suffer the consequence of this for the last 150 years. We owe the British nothing and if we are in this country then we are only here as guests and once we have our own country then we have the option to leave this country and follow from our secure borders the death of this country as it succumbs to civil war as the bad karma the British have accumulated over the last 300 years comes to bite them on the backside. Who knows maybe we might even send them over a Sikh lawyer to help demarcate Muslim and British areas which can then be partitioned just as they did to our Punjab in 1947.

There was no such thing as India when the British took it. The British invented India. If you really want it to go to the original owner then stick it back in the ground where it originally was!

He was also on Sunday Morning Live earlier in the day and there was a segment about whether the art and treasures that the British took from other countries should be returned. His view on the Koh-i-Noor diamond was a bit lame. He said it should stay with the British as there was a question mark over who they should return it to. It was taken from Lahore which is now in Pakistan, it was the personal property of Maharaja Ranjit Singh and his family does not exist anymore etc. These views were lame as what has Pakistan to do with the Koh-I-Noor, the British took it for the Sikh kingdom which designated itself as the Sarkar Khalsaji therefore it was the political embodiment of the Sikh faith and such it should go to the Sikhs. As there is no Sikh state in existence at this moment, it should stay with the British until the time that a Sikh state becomes a reality. This would have given the Hindu woman who was arguing for it's return to India a slap in the face.

What a tragedy. My thoughts are with his wife and children. These kind of incidents are happening more and more.

Good news from the USA. Not sure how this suit will fare but at least someone is doing something to bring justice for the 1984 genocide. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/1984-riots-Amitabh-Bachchan-summoned-by-US-court-for-instigating-violence-against-Sikhs/articleshow/44957457.cms

Due to the policies of the Indian govt Chandigarh has become less and less Sikh with each passing year. In 1971 when Chandigarh was demanded as the sole capital of Punjab the Sikhs were 25% but in 2001 this has fallen to 16%. The BJP is asking for Chandigarh for Punjab in order to increase the Hindu percentage in Punjab and thus increase it's chances of taking power in Punjab on it's own.

What reason would there be have the designation 'Indian' when this is supposed to be the British Sikh report. Don't waste you time of this survey, it's just a way for a mickey mouse organisation to try and portray that it has some importance when it doesn't.

It's heartening that the Dastar is making a comeback to Punjab. After a decade of reading depressing news stories about how the Sikh youth in Punjab were discarding the turban nowadays it is becoming the complete reverse. Respect and appreciation needs to go to those who did the work that organisations like the SGPC should have been doing by starting up Turban tying clinics and Mr Singh competitions and bring the stylishness of the Turban back to those who were in danger of losing it forever. Turban Guys Veer it is Sikhs like you who have achieved more by just giving a day free for the Kaum than all the SGPC members have achieved in the last decade. Keep up the good work. There is no time better spent than reconnecting the Sikh youth to their heritage and bring non-Sikhs to the beauty of the Turban.
