  1. Hello everyone. I am a 36 year old male from Surrey Canada ??. Im married and I have two children. Both under 10. In 2015 to 2018 I was involved with an indo Canadian gang (Punjabi mafia). I ran the business side of it for my crew for a couple years with some help from a really close friend, who I no longer speak too. Overtime I also indulged in the same drugs I had stored for dealing. I became a cocaine addict, smoked weed, and drank liquor. I became very paranoid. I always looked over my shoulders. Never felt safe. I'm an <banned word filter activated> for putting my family in that position too. Anyways I was constantly looking out for cops, snitches, and rival gangs. Sometimes even people in my crew who would maybe one day want to take me out. I was in a dark terrible place. We were dealing with Chinese, Vietnamese, other indo Canadian gangs, tamils. Never black, white or biker crews. We had our reasons. It took so long for me to realize how much of a deep hole I had digged. I'm in this hole with no support to climb out. I became numb for a while. I had no feelings, I had no problem putting a hit on someone, which I did not do. But did think about. One day I found out a close Chinese ally of ours got caught and was sentenced to 9 years. I was surprised. He was always careful. Very low key. How can this happen? I questioned the loyalty of others amongst me. Questioning even my brother. I was very unstable mentally. I was constantly alert and high on cocaine. Some nights I did not sleep. Just sitting in my house with my gun beside me close to the window looking out all night. I can't even trust my "friends". Sure the money was good, but it was NOT worth it. This is not living. A couple days later friend of mine got shot in his house. Dead. Things were getting real serious. There was tension among all the crews. Everyone was on edge. More Chinese were raided and sentenced to 10 plus years. More and more of the indo Canadian members were targeted. Many died. I was never a religious person. But I turned to God. I did not know how to pray. I did my best at the time. I asked for forgiveness. I wanted out. I asked for strength to quit drugs. I asked for peace. I began reading Guru Granth Sahib ji Maharaj. Guru ji is beautiful. I was in tears. I went to a local gurdwara. Met many singhs. I spoke to many and got a attached to some. They are now my friends. First thing I did was get out of this business of ours. I called up my partners and told them I'm out. It was not easy. Took me a year to get out. I needed to collect all the money people owed us with using minimal force. Once I did that, it was my ticket out. Took me a year. I didn't even collect all of it. Some money I covered from my pocket. Then I was finally out. But still paranoid. Still not free. I stopped talking to everyone from my past. Except my family. I started hanging out with singhs. Learned to meditate. It was very peaceful. I was also friends with many singhs who wanted khalistan. They showed me what had happened in the past to our people. The videos, articles, pictures. The injustice, the genocide. I was horrified. I started digging deeper. We are clearly oppressed. I thought india does not want us to succeed. They want us to forget our Dharm. Our way of life. They want us to cut our hair. They want us to be their slaves and forget sikhi. I cannot contribute to this. I thought any mona person who shaves is helping this form of genocide on sikhi. I was not going to be that person. I took amrit in Surrey BC. I felt so blessed. All my old contacts forgot about me. I was moving forward. I got a nice house. Healthy family and a good job. My wife is not amritdhari she said she is not ready. Sometimes i question was I ready? At the time I thought so. Or was it just an outlet. A form of rehab to help me with the addiction to drugs and to get out from my old lifestyle. Was it out of desperation I made this big decision to take amrit. Did I brainwash my self into believing that I am contributing to a sikh genocide by not taking amrit. Reading All these stories of the 1984 genocide. Everyday looking at pictures and watching videos of what happened. It was all very very sad. I was furious. I wanted those responsible to pay. They are trying to finish us. I won't let that happen to me. I'm not contributing to this genocide. I took amrit. I cut everything cold turkey in one day. It was possible due to Guru jis kirpa. I believe this for sure. The power of our Guru is very much real. Its been to two years since I took amrit. I owe so much to Guru ji. Giving my head is the least I can do right? I was new to the vegan diet. I chose the vegan diet over vegetarian diet because I know those cows giving their milk farmed by big corporations in these mass production facilities is cruel. Cows are not suppose to be crowded together with no access to sunshine or grass. They are fed soy and grains which is not meant to be their diet. Its abuse. The milk and yogurt at the gurdwara. Its all contributing to this cruel business. So I became a vegan. I use to eat meat before I took amrit. Over the years my body was getting weaker and weaker. Joints hurt, getting rashes, arthritis. It was inflammation. Caused by the excessive omega 6 consumption. My body was not use to this. Im sure singhs in the past were raised vegetarians and their body was use to this diet. But my body was clearly rejecting it. I feel like a 60 year old man. I thought when will my body get use to this new diet I adopted. Will it ever? I couldn't wait long enough to find out. I was not healthy. I started eating meat again. This time from local farms where I can go see how the animals are raised. Very humane. These cows are grassfed grass finished. Living the life they should. I get a month's supply of grass fed grass finished rib eye steaks, and wild caught salmon. My health was restored. I was feeling better. My omega 3 to 6 ratio was good. I made sure the meat was not Halal. Some say all meat is forbidden but I didn't care ....the vegan lifestyle was destroying my health. I started questioning alot of things. Was wearing a kachera in the shower with my kirpan ritualistic? I understand the concept of tyar bar tyar. But I would turn to my shotgun for any defense not the kirpan I take with me to the shower. Anyways thats a discussion for another thread. After a while I stopped doing Simran in the morning. I never really got into it. Not sure if I really even did it right. I stop reading my nitnem and now listen to it on my way to work. Its almost become ritualistic in a way. There are great sikhs out there and better khalsa than me who follow through with the maryada. I respect those amritdharis. Im not them yet. Somedays I don't even do my nitnem. I fantasize about my wife at work and rush to come home to have some wild sex. I can't control myself. She loves it but it takes me away from my spiritual side. We have sex almost everyday. We enjoy it. But its hurting my spirituality Now I don't do my nitnem altogether. Don't listen to kirtan or katha. And my wife is noticing this. She encourages me to do paath. She's an angel I love her. Very supportive. I see myself moving away from the spiritual side. The other day she said "I don't understand why people take amrit and then eat meat" I reminded her of my health due to the vegan diet. Also that I believe only halal meat was prohibited. But maybe thats just a way for me to justify it. She told me to take off the kirpan when your cooking the meat she thinks it not right. Maybe she is right. But then I said out loud why don't I just cut my hair and beard. What's the point of this if I'm not following through and keeping my nitnem and maryada. She then screamed NO. please don't do that. I think I agree with her that now I have taken amrit and all our family knows all our friends know. If I break my amrit it will look very very wrong. I have sikhs at work and the park come up to me ask me to do ardaas for them and a benti to Guru ji for this and that. I never understood why people did this. Why not pray yourself and ask. Sometimes they refer to me as khalsa ji. But am I really a khalsa ji now? I look like it. But i don't follow anything. I'm living a Lie. Its not me anymore. I did ardas to Guru ji. I said I'm not ready for amrit yet. I asked for forgiveness and hope that Guru ji is not mad at me. I love sikhi. But can't seem to keep this commitment. Not yet anyways. I know I'll be back. I'm planning to cut my hair. Go back to my old self minus the drugs and alcohol. I feel like my amrit broke when I ate meat. Please don't judge me. But I need to step back. I was clearly not ready. Now I'm planning my transition from a Gursikh to a sikh. My neighbors, friends and family think I'm amritdhari, they know my wife isn't. Now when they will see me they will think, oh there's that guy who broke amrit. He's soo bad, he will go to hell. Maybe I will. I don't know. I don't want to keep my rehit out of fear. I want to do it because I love it. I think I took amrit for all the wrong reasons. I was very vulnerable. Now about My beautiful wife. She's amazing. Sweet, and very pretty. She wears her dresses and make up. Has her hair done. All about fashion. You know how some women are. She is very attractive. Its weird when a singh like me in his bana is walking beside her at the mall LOL Having lunch at some place. People stare. I think this time I will wait until we are both ready. I need help transitioning from gursikh to sikh. So many people will stop talking to me . Half of my family will cut me off. The other half won't care. My dad is a mona. He drinks. He is very successful. About to retire soon. He will be disappointed. My mom will be devastated. My in laws will be disappointed but I'm more worried about my parents. I guess I don't have a question really. Just wanted to post what I'm going through. I would love to see what the sangat thinks about what I went through. Please speak your mind. Thanks for listening. Love you all. !!!!

  3. So as you guys probably know I live in a congested, tier-A1 metro city of India where some of the richest and poorest people co-exist . I am from a middle-class though and only live in a 1-BHK apartment with my family . But last evening with a casual chat with a school friend , came to knew he has migrated to toronto , ontario lol. He has the same education as me, and same age as me . I was left wondering what I was doing and why I wasn't trying hard to migrate to canada. I don't know whether I should continue with a relatively comfortable life here in india or immigrate. Hence I am asking you folks a honest opinion. Should I try ??
  4. https://ca.news.yahoo.com/theres-bush-truckers-face-challenges-080000701.html At a Calgary truck stop, Amanpreet Gill hands out a bag full of vegetarian meals to a long-haul truckers. In each are enough curries and naan bread to see a driver through a couple days on the road. "They're bringing all the medical supplies to our hospital, our homes, all the groceries." Gill says, "so it's our turn to pay them back." Back at Gill's local Sikh temple, 35 volunteers are cooking to make enough food for 100 deliveries a day. Their "No Hungry Tummy During Covid-19" effort is a hit. And it's one of a growing number of local efforts popping up across Canada to help truckers who are sometimes facing harsh and even unwelcoming conditions on their routes. Drive-thru windows can't accommodate big rigs, and some restaurants are refusing pedestrians at the window. Al Adolphe, from Steinbach, Man., discovered that when he tried to get a coffee in Portage la Prairie. "They refused to give me a coffee. And I was supposed to phone it in," he recalls. "I said, 'Phone it in? I'm right here.'" Restrooms closed Trucker Paul MacDonald from Monkton, Ont., sympathizes. He says he can't wait to get home. "Yeah, you need proper food, a shower, stuff like that. Basically, what everybody else takes for granted. We're having a hard time finding it." Food isn't the only concern. View photos Monte McNaughton/Twitter More One of the big challenges facing truckers is finding a place to use the bathroom. "The shipping facilities have just shut down access to drivers, so we're sort of like, OK, we have to work together on this," Susan Ewart of the Saskatchewan Trucking Association says. The alternatives aren't exactly sanitary. "We've heard some people say, 'Well, there's the bush.'" Paul MacDonald has his own way to cope: "You just hold it and carry on." It's not just shipping companies that have closed washroom facilities. Some rest stops and washrooms normally open to travellers have been locked, presumably to avoid the spread of the coronavirus. But Alberta recently had to close some of its rest stops, because people were raiding the toilet paper and hand sanitizer supply. That raised the ire of Alberta Premier Jason Kenney. "Please show some basic decency and basic consideration. Don't do stupid things like that that just make life harder for our truckers…." Alberta has reopened its rest stops with increased surveillance and is calling on fast-food restaurants to allow truckers to park their big trucks and walk to drive-thru windows. Other politicians from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to Ontario Premier Doug Ford have raised awareness during their daily COVID-19 briefings of the truckers' role in delivering essential supplies to Canadians. Canadians step up to #ThankaTrucker Efforts to pitch in and help truckers are cropping up across Canada. The hashtag #ThankaTrucker is spreading with both good thoughts and deeds for truckers. For Medicine Hat, Alta., based trucker Neal Davey, it means a lot to see truckers recognized. "They're actually seeing truckers are doing what they need done. Like, all these jobs that people thought were below them are now what's carrying us."
  5. Contrary to what some users on this forum say it was infact rajputs Sikhs who established the first sikh enclave in Canada and his name was mayo Singh minhas he founded the town of paldi which was the first sikh settlement in Canada they were rajas not jatts
  6. Oh it's been an interesting week for those watching the sikh world , Jagmeet Singh becomes Deputy Prime Minister of Canada as Trudeau loses his majority. BJP choking on the backfired plan of undermining the sikhs in Canadian Politics 18 minsters voted in , the cherry being Jagmeet's appointment to deputy Prime minister and having Kingmaker status for his party. Yesterday's envoy visit to Harmandir Sahib ji left the Hinduvta fuming as not one of the 85 strong international contingent visited Durgiana Mandir after visiting Guru ji's darbar Seems like sikhi is raising in the international media view for a change ... hopefully Jagmeet will deliver clean water to the indigenous peoples of Canada .
  7. Waheguru ji ka khalsa , Waheguru ji ki Fateh, Sangat ji, I am going through tough times in my life and is turning towards Gurbani recently. I have been reading bani since childhood but not so much with interest. I am not a gursikh as of now but my inclination towards become one is getting strong day by day. Confident, I would reach there someday. I am looking for fellow sangat in the same boat as me or have been in the same shoes at some point in there life, to share discuss and engage and even guide ourselves to the Guru Sahib's way. I am located in Alberta Canada. Any recommended ways that I could find sangat to support, help, prosper and become a true sikh?
  8. WJJK WJKF I would like some info on moving to Canada. Im looking to move there from UK and wanted to know where would anyone recommend is the best area. I wanted my kids to go to a Sikh school so im basically looking at that as my main place to stay along with good Sikh Sangat for my family. Which Sikh schools are generally rated highly? thanks

    Bill 21 Quebec

    WaheguruJiKaKhalsaWaheguruJiKiFateh! Quebec's Sikhs need your help! Bill 21 bans all public sector employees like teachers, police, and lawyers from wearing any religious symbols. This means that Sikhs can not work while wearing their Dastar, Kara, or Kirpan. This law cannot be struck down by a judge for its violation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms due to the Quebec provincial government's use of the notwithstanding clause. The Federal government is capable of repealing the law (disallowment) but they will only do so if the public forces them to. Disallowment can also only happen within 1 year of the bill's passing. Time is running out. Every Sikh in Canada needs to contact their Member of Parliament through email and phone to say that this law violates human rights and needs to be repealed. Bill 21 Awareness Resources In this link, multiple documents to spread awareness are attached. The word document for the small flyers can be printed black and white, double sided, and cut into four. You can add in your MP's information before printing, or just print it as is if your area has multiple MPs. Everything helps. Please hand them out at your local Gurdwara and other public places. To find your MP and their contact information, use this link: Find your MP Make sure to use your postal code for the search. If you use your city name you might end up with the wrong MP. The poster is attached as word, pdf, and jpg. It should be put up in all local Gurdwaras and other public places. Share the jpg and have it displayed on any TV screens. The announcement document can be changed to Punjabi font and given to people to make announcements at Gurdwaras. Announcements need to be made multiple times everyday. Anyone is welcome to modify anything if it needs improvement. Please sign the WSO petition: WSO Quebec Petition The response of Canadian Sikhs has been disappointing and weak. It is as if we don't care that the Sikhs of Quebec lost a lot of careers. There are about 500 000 Sikhs in Canada. That petition should have more than 500 000 signatures by now. If all Sikhs had recognized their duty to the Panth, then that would have been the case. Instead, there are, at this point, only about 2000. We should be ashamed. Take initiative to contact your MP and sign the petition. Take initiative to make everyone else in your family, Sangat, and community contact your MP, by email and phone, and sign the petition. If you don't do it, no one else will. If you are lazy now, then what face will you show to Guru Sahib? Think about it carefully. If we fail to put enough pressure on the Federal government, then they will not use their disallowment powers. And when 1 year passes, it will be too late and the only hope then will be for a new Quebec provincial government that is willing to change the law to be elected. This is unlikely due to the number of imbeciles in Quebec that are racist or don't recognize the human right to practice one's religion. So disallowment is the best hope that we have. Do not let the Sikhs of Quebec down; help in any way that you can!
  10. Should he become the leader of the country? Do you like him? Is he good enough?
  11. This is not a thread to start bashing any castes or areas of Punjab so please don't make it into that. Generally speaking there has been a mass influx of backward punjabi pendus in Canada the last 5-10 years and I think it's hurting the community as a whole. The Sikh community in Canada has always been looked upon as well integrated and highly educated. However, recent trends are not good. These backward uneducated pendus are absolutely disgraceful in their conduct. The majority of them came here via fake marriage sponsorship where 2 families make a "deal" where you marry our person from India and our person in Canada will marry one of yours in India. I was born in the 80s and I know with my parents and others from the 70's, 80's, and 90's, they had an appreciation for what this country has given them in terms of opportunity. Thankfully the 2nd generation has educated themselves well and gotten into highly professional positions. However, these backward pendus today have no appreciation and bring their desi garbage here. There are not people you can reason with. I saw one guy who was clearly drunk as a skunk embarrassing himself. I tried to reason with him but he threatened me and said 'do you know my uncle is the sarpanch? We have 10 acres of land. I'm the son of a jatt, <banned word filter activated> off'. As a community what can we do about this to avoid being labelled as a backwards community that cannot integrate in this country?
  12. Hi there everyone, sangat in Orangeville have officially setup up a gurdwara in a small town called Orangeville, Ontario Canada under the name of Mata Gujari Ji Sikh Temple. Just trying to get the word out to everyone hopefully some individuals live in the Dufferin county area that use this site. The Gurdwaras does not have a Nishan Sahib yet, we have to get permission from the town to be able to put at the front of the property, as we are in the process of trying to change the zoning as well. Zoning change should not be an issue due to the neighbouring properties beside the Gurdwara is all commercial. If you live in the towns of Orangeville, Grand Valley, Shelburne, Mulmur, Melancthon, Amaranth, Mono, East Garafraxa, or even the north part of Caledon, the gurdwara is open everyday, might be locked after 9pm, but granthi ji lives there so theres always someone there. The address is 304 Broadway ave Orangeville, Ontario and the parking is in the back.

    Halal food

    Guru Granth Sahib forbids eating of halal or any meat killed according to ritual beliefs. Muslims have successfully lobbied to get most of the restuarants even in Sikh populated areas to serve only Halal food. However, it hurts me to see keshdhari Sikhs sitting in Shwarma place and other Pakistani joints happily eating Halal food. When you talk to them, they plead ignorance. These are the same Sikhs who tend to lecture other mona Sikhs about keeping kesh. Why are they not following the tenants and protesting about the creeping Halal everywhere? Our school where 50% of the students are Sikh now serve Halal hot dogs because of only 5% Muslims. None of the Sikhs care about this. Muslims are using Halal certification to build mosques in every street and actively convert people, but use Sikhs are happy eating Biryani! When I bring this up in Gurdwara they say we should only be vegetarian, when all the committee members eat meat and close to 90% Sikhs are non-veg (also Gurbani does not prohibit meat). I am so confused at this hypocrisy. Anyone agree with me?

Just tried calling the SGPC but their phones aren't working. Will try email, if people know other organizations then do so. Many of the Sikh politicians are selling out Guru Sahib in this form, or attempting to do so by supporting these measures. ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂਜੀਕਾਖਾਲਸਾ।।ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂਜੀਕੀਫਤਹਿ।।
  15. I already did a topic on this before, lets do one again. I think we all seen India gov throw a hissy fit during Justin Treadue visit. Panjabis are gaining more political power in Canada/Uk, and India can't stomach it since they will speak out against indian crimes. They didn't think kidnapping Jaggi would bring this much attention , but it did because Sikhs politicans are overrepresented in western countries. Also this 2020 referendum joke has rattled india, they've been pressuring Canada/UK to cancel 2020 rallies, but since having peaceful rallies is a given in western countries , India gov can't seem to get it through their thick ape skulls. In the 3rd world sh^thole of India, Mob violence, corrupt cops , torture , kidnappings , corrupt politicians are still a thing in 2018. These monkeys can't even give justice to 84 given all the evidence, not even that, any number of small public cases are usually thrown out if a rich person is at fault . Indian men are also pretty dirty creeps. They all stare at women , especially white women and give off rape alarms. Believe it or not but Haryana is the biggest sh^thole state in India, not Bihar , Rajistan , Up or any other cr@p states , nope ,it's haryanan. Quint did a story on crimes against women in Haryana , they interviewed young kids , teens , old people and adults. And shockingly , all of them said that women are at fault if they get raped. They said, women who wear provocative cloths are asking to be raped. Mind you that,Kids and teens holds these views. It's 2018 and India is still a nasty sh^thole. People still poop in streets, have low iq and have religious violence in 2018. Lets wait another 50 yrs and see if these apes evolved. I'm soo pissed that we Panjabis have to live in this utter nightmare of a country which is worse than many african and middle east hell holes. Our 3 state lobby royally screwed up in 47.

    Diaspora relations

    Hi guys, I have some questions about diaspora relations. In Canada in general do Tamils and Hindus in general get on with Sikhs or is it neutral or is it a negative relation. Secondally and finally , in the UK do Hindus get on with Sikhs /neutral/negative. Also is there rivalry between Hindus , Sikhs or Muslims and if so are Hindus and Sikhs on the same side or are they separate. Thanks
  17. The shooter who killed two people and injured 12 others in Toronto on Sunday night has been identified as Pakistani origin Faisal Hussain. Hussain's name was released by the Ontario Special Investigations Unit on Monday due to "the exceptional circumstances of this tragic incident," BBC News reported. Muslim terrorist Hussain, 29, was found dead after the shooting, Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit told CBC News. The Ontario Special Investigations Unit said that six investigators and three forensic investigators are investigating the gunman's death, CBC News reported. Police are still investigating Hussain 's terror network. The shooting began on Sunday night at about 10 p.m, according to the Toronto Star. An exchange of gunfire took place in Toronto's Greektown neighborhood of Danforth. Muslim terrorist Hussain was found dead on Danforth Avenue, according to the publication.
  18. PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO BEFORE YOU READ MY RESPONSE: MY RESPONSE: Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh! The image of Sikhs is being deliberately tarnished by the Indian governments influence. The government is mad that Sikhs are starting to gain power outside India and want to do everything they can to keep us under their control. This idea of "Sikh Extremism" is so overblown, there was a recent study in the UK which showed that Sikh Extremism isnt even a threat. The concept of "Khalistan", a nation run on Sikh values by Sikhs, isnt something thats "extreme", its a very reasonable thing for a community to work towards, and even the Guru himself told Sikhs to be sovereign and remain independent. Even if we go back to the 1800's in Maharaja Ranjit Singhs Sikh Kingdom, we can see a liberal and secular society were minorities are accepted, and there wasn't even any death penalty. This is just a small taste of what Sikhs can contribute to the world. On the topic of Jagmeet Singh, its obvious that the Indian government wants to destroy the reputation of this Amritdhari Sikh who is allways try to push to have the 1984 Sikh Genocide officially recognized. Jagmeet Singh represents the next generation of Sikh politicians, and is seen as a role model in the Sikh youth. The Indian government is throwing false accusations at him, denied his visa, spread a lot of fake news, and they are trying to do everything they can to stop a decent minded Sikh from becoming elected, just look at the drama they caused in India when the Canadian PM visited, or the non stop hit pieces and character assassinations they do. When it comes to Baba Jarnail Singh Bhinranwale, there is proof that the Indian government pre-planned the attack on Darbar Sahib, and were planing it even before Bhindranwale entered Akal Takth. During their genocide, they attacked multiple Gurdwara's. and even destroyed the Sikh Reference Library and stole so many precious Sikh texts, some even written by the Gurus themselves. To this day the government refuses to apologize for its instigation's on genocide, and still refuses to at least give back the stolen Sikh texts. Its so obvious the 1984 genocide was engineered to destroy Sikhi.
  19. What are your thoughts on this recent article? https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/sikh-separatists-in-canada-drawing-ire-in-indian-media-before-trudeau-visit-1.3792889 Here are my thoughts: You know you are on the wrong side of history, when you attack freedom of speech. "Sikh relgious sucessionism"? LoL! Have they ever read Sikh history or Gurbani? Its common sense to those who are educated on Sikhi that the Sikh Panth is meant to be distinct from others and be independent. The Khalsa is literally meant to be a sovereign army and institution all in one, that only answer's to the Guru, that by itself isnt legal in another country, and its a pretty obvious hint that the Guru clearly taught Sikhs to be independent, but of course. But of course all this means nothing becuase most "Sikhs" in India dont support it, which must mean its a radical idea, even if its backed up by history and bani... Of course its going to come up coincidentally when a Prime Minister visits India, what better time to attack Sikhs. One could make the argument that the Indian government lets Hindu right wing national movements flourish, and there's actually proof that India got a German official to spy on Sikhs. Or what about that time that that. If you wanna talk about state sponsored terrorism. there's a lot of accusations India has gotten, but the problem with them is that they dont care. Read article: German official charged with spying on Sikhs for India : https://www.thelocal.de/20160920/german-official-charged-with-spying-on-sikhs-for-india India State Sponsored Terrorism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State-sponsored_terrorism#India Amarinder Sengh is a meme at this point, he will say anything to tarnish the reputations of Sikhs abroad. He is salty that international Sikhs are making it, and that him and his third world government are losing their power over the Sikh community. At this point, who cares what that ladoo has to say? its obvious hes doing this as part of his personal smear campaign.

  22. Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh! Sangat ji, I have been considering moving away from the UK. Mainly just had enough of the place. I am alone. No family at all nor am I married. I am not educated either. Has anyone got any experience on the emmigration process for someone in the UK wanting to move to Canada who may be or has been in a similar situation as myself? I was there this time last year and saw that there is a lot of Sangat there. It's clean, peaceful and generally seems like a great move especially for someone that just wants to get up and leave everything in the UK behind. I had the chance to speak to someone there who has moved from London and is working in banking/finance but he actually married a Canadian Singhni and was under 30 years of age when he applied for his PR (permanent residence) so it was a little easier for him. Any ideas, feedback, information or suggestions would be much appreciated. Akaal!

    Halal food

    Guru Granth Sahib forbids eating of halal or any meat killed according to ritual beliefs. Muslims have successfully lobbied to get most of the restuarants even in Sikh populated areas to serve only Halal food. However, it hurts me to see keshdhari Sikhs sitting in Shwarma place and other Pakistani joints happily eating Halal food. When you talk to them, they plead ignorance. These are the same Sikhs who tend to lecture other mona Sikhs about keeping kesh. Why are they not following the tenants and protesting about the creeping Halal everywhere? Our school where 50% of the students are Sikh now serve Halal hot dogs because of only 5% Muslims. None of the Sikhs care about this. Muslims are using Halal certification to build mosques in every street and actively convert people, but use Sikhs are happy eating Biryani! When I bring this up in Gurdwara they say we should only be vegetarian, when all the committee members eat meat and close to 90% Sikhs are non-veg (also Gurbani does not prohibit meat). I am so confused at this hypocrisy. Anyone agree with me?
  24. This was really interesting. I didn't know Osama was considered a positive icon in places with historically bad relationships with America:
  25. Just saw this today and the thought was even the Gorey Canadians want our girls to stop getting involved with the Islamic guys:
