She herself finds sikhhism far too man made and a bit of a boys club, which is really what its become even if that may not have been the original intention of its founder ??....

And if that was it's original intention, then who can blame her for wanting out and freedom from it all cool.gif

You guys are just skewing too much of the facts in your favor.

First let me answer the thing about her parents choice being unemployed.

1) Have you met him? Until you havn't met him you can not conclude that.

2) Your girl said so. Her opinion of this guy was biased even before her first meeting with him.

Conclusion: His employment status is undetermined.

Now let me answer to "Sikhism is a bit of a boys club."

1) Thats a pretty strong statement for a guy whose firsthand information on Sikhism comes from his girlfriend.

2) Is your girlfriend a priest?

Conclusion: Don't disrespect a religion to justify personal situations.

Heres some statistics from the CIA World Factbook maybe her parents considered as well, if you want to look into this with more detail (or confirm) perhaps the boys club here at SikhSangat may not mind pitching in and sending you a copy free of charge.

Divorce Rate per 100 people

White (British) - 42.6

Indian - 0.005%

PS. Ill autograph you the copy :TH:

Question: What do you mean by ''boys club''? And why do you say it's a boys club? Because your girlfriend says it is? And why does SHE believe it's a boys club?

I'd really like to know. If you're going to insult our religion then you should at least explain your thinking.

Please anwer my questions and I'll try to respond as best I can with some actual facts.

Thanks.

You're posts in this thread are very confusing. You seem to making the same biased comments about Sikhism that Indian parents would make about white guys. If you want to learn about Sikhism then take time out and read about Sikhism. If you are stuck with your ignorant and pre-conceived notions about Sikhism and Punjabi culture ( arranged marriages + overbearing parents ) probably gained from Coronation Street and Eastenders then it's best for both of you to decide on what you want to do. It seems your gf is already going against her parents by dating you so i don't know how you're going to convince her parents that you are a good match for their daughter. Starting off as the guy their daughter is secretly and deceitfully dating isn't the best of starts. You need to understand this, in Punjabi culture as well as in Sikhism a great deal of emphesis is placed on the family and a son in law has to fit in with the family. I don't know whether you're gfs family is ultra liberal but even then they might take offence at your ignorant comments about Sikhism. As for the other guy, he has my sympathy, not only is your gf badmouthing him but she's also being unfaithful to him. You're gf called him a pimp and if he ever found out what you're gf is up to then i'm sure he would have some choice expletives to say about her as well as i'm sure most right thinking people would as well.

As for you're comment that Sikhism is a bit of a boys club and you're gf wants freedom from it. That should ring some alarm bells. Maybe she's someone who wants to live the western lifestyle, u know multiple partners, kids by more than one man, drinking and puking on the high street and her parents want her to grow up and marry a respectable Sikh guy. She probably sees you as a way of getting away from a respectable lifestyle and do all the stuff that is frowned upon by Sikhs. If it weren't you it would some next white guy LOL.gif

Sorry mate you probably came her thinking we would be telling your what a great match you are and how your gfs lucky to have you. Sorry but this is not some romance but real life!

Well not something to laugh at but he did have a point, I mean a lot of Indian girls will date a guy simply because he is white rolleyes.gif because that's their way to get out of what they don't like-the respectable life. This way they can getting upto all sorts of dodgy stuff and hopefully he wont mind blush.gif .

LOL abt the boys club though, sounds like his girlfriend has parents who are more Punjabi rather than Sikh. And it would make so much more sense if she bothered to meet and discuss this with proper 'Sikh' couples as to what sikhi is really about and then she can come to her own conclusions but no point in making ur mind up abt something u don't know anything abt lol.

If she wants to marry HS then total respect to her but why do they both feel the need to justify their actions by dissing everything and everyone around them. I'm getting the feeling that there are more reasons for her to not marry an Indian guy than there are for her to marry HS. :lol: @ :umm: @

    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
