  1. Hi, When is Sikhi Camp this year? Are children (babies) allowed to attend with parents? Any other information available yet? And if not when is it likely to be? Thanks!
  2. that is very true - but numbers do mean a bigger voice
  3. Kaljugi - you are spot on - it is a massive task but not impossible. It would take us years to do the planning but still possible. There are plenty of motivated people to help. I would say the starting point being simply listing the international organisations we need to get involved. then get together - skpe or whatever - mind map all the possibilities. from there we can draw out priorities and risks. Then the recruitment begins - share with wider sangat. Is this really naive of me?
  4. what about getting a high profile person involved like the Gurkas did? Get the protests treding on twitter like the save libraries protests did? I like the idea of turning up to high profile indian events too. A plan needs to be put together an a campign with dates and actions etc The media rely massively on twitter for news sources - it should be pursued
  5. I was thinking the exact same thing. But there are some key obstacles: 1) Throughout the entire Egyt protests, any police/army or any government reprsentation was no where to be seen - they just left them to it. If we were to do this in India, the army (with sikhs included in it) would come out in their masses and repeat 1984 riots. We would be outnumbered easily, mass loss of ilfe and still not got any further. 2) India would not get this kind of Media coverage - possibly from Al Jazeera the only unbiased/non-corrupt media channel in 2011. but to be effective it needs to get the attention of western leaders via the media - even the egypt riots hasnt got obama to say "this is out of order - he need to go" so in a way it needs to be BIGGER than Egypt. 3) We would struggle to motivate SO many people to travel to turn up without somebody as motivating as Sant Ji Bindrawale - or equivalent (no dis-repect to Sant Ji just mean a motivating person) 4) I personally think the london rally falls on deaf ears and it has just become a bit of a jolly for everyone to have a nice little meet up and catch up with everyone once a year. Something more drastic needs to be done. - it needs to be meticulously planned and organised to a T with motivated people whose primary objective would be khalistan. i really feel strongly about this.
  6. Hi Anybody out there familiar with Adobe InCopy? Are you a designer? Would appreciate any feedback you may have, what is it like to use from a designers perspective? thanks everyone
  7. Enraged to see this: A Sikh man who has campaigned for the BNP in support of its anti-Islam stance has been put forward to be the party's first non-white member. Rajinder Singh, who is in his late 70s, has twice lent support to Nick Griffin during the British National party leader's court appearances and appeared in an election broadcast for the party in 2005. There have been suggestions that he could stand as a BNP candidate at next year's general election. http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/nov/20/sikh-man-bnp-member http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/nov/23/bnp-racism-deluded-sikhs-muslims

  10. wow. thank you. i think thats all i need to know...
  11. penji that is a very advanced state which i am very very far from...
  12. I must stress a key point that seems to be overlooked in my last contribution. I wear make up not for the approval of others (though i appreciate your argument and see how it could be interpreted in that way) it is so that i can control my mind and focus on what is important. Instead of it jumping around and being self conscious. I know that many of you are right in saying that this feeling will control itself without the make up and other so called materialisms once my sikhi, knowledge and understanding increases, but until then i see this as a short term solution, i would love not to care about these things, but right now i do and its not a matter of just taking it off and job done. i did try believe me, and it makes you feel so uncomfortable but you just want to get out of there (there being any public place) as soon your legs can take you. so i think it should be appreciated that this is quite a sensitive issue, requiring patience, understanding, support and guidence. whilst there are many girls out there that do just wear make up for the materialistic elements, i think girls like me should not be forgotten and remember that different people have different reasons for thier actions...
  13. I've been watchin gthis topic for some time and it has been interesting to see what people think. I am female, amritdhari and wear make up but not jewellry. Let me explain my logic. For me, I am quite insecure about my looks, if i were to go to the gudwara or to a public place without any make up (bearing in mind, this is not shed loads of colour, or fancy make up, just a thin layer of foundation to make my skin appear mark free) I would feel as though people are staring at me and feel really insecure. Therefore I wear a tiny bit of foundation all over just to smooth over my skin to allow me to concentrate on my Sikhi (might sound really strange) but it means my mind isn't jumping around thinking about who's looking at me etc n i cant really listen to katha/paat/kirtan etc. It's not a thing to look better or more attractive, i suppose its for my own sanity. i appreciate everyones views that it is alterating our original appearance, which i guess it is, and i agree, but it is a way to allow my mind to focus on what is important. The argument about whether it attracts men to look at you, all i would say is that some of the singhniya i have seen at the gudwara and around and about, are absolutly stunning without make up too, so there is nothing to day that they wouldnt find those women lustful too. So i don't want to sound as though i'm passing the buck here, but i think thats down to the guys to control. If it were up to me, i wouldn't wear make up, but feel as though i need to at the moment. So please do not blanket us as still materialistic. I certainly am not. And that is why i do not wear jewellry, as i believe it portrays an image of ego. You may think it contradicts my argument for make up, but there is no confidence related to jewellry where as there is to make up. Jewellry, in my opinion, relates to materialism. Not make up. I do apologise if that was all nonsense, i hope you understood what i meant.

  15. This too has happened to me in the past. I did ardaas from the bottom of your heart and completed a jap ji sahib. Just do whatever you feel is appropriate.
