Veer with all due respect it is not easy for any girl to come forward, as our community is such that people will not want to marry her. It is a sad but true fact.

Then this needs to change maybe you should look in to this what causes this disease and then look for its roots, then finish it, destroy it.

What are you exactly implying? What are the roots to a problem of harassment? Is the root of the problem the perpetrator or the weakness of the victim? Think about it how easily will your own sister come out!

message from a camper who is there specifically this year to make sure nothing was "anti-gurmat" so to speak as alleged in previous years camps

the camp is really really wicked, everything is going really well and there are some beautiful people here

Glad to hear this. I think I know who the camper is who is present to ensure nothing "anti-gurmat" happens! shhh.gif

You want to change the Punjabi community and its thinking? Good idea. But it still does not paper over the mistakes made by people at the sikh student camp. I hope they were all banned and it is a better camp this year without them.

If it had been my sister, she would have dealt with it. You may think that’s easy for me to say, true it is. But I base this on the fact that our father brought us up as equals physically, mentally we were versed in the same training, no difference in discipline and pain.

This is how we deal with this disease find its cause and destroy it.

Destroy ignorance this is just one of the diseases.

we are so in danger of "militant-fying" the definition of a Sikh.

There are people passionate about teaching others the true Sikh way of life, which i totally agree with. But non-Sikhs will call this something else. Unfortunately, blogs and forums do not help us one bit, although we think it does. Would it not be sooo great for someone to type in the word "sikh" into a search engine and not come accross all this internal bickering? Its just a shame, that for some people, its not a case of "True Sikh teachings come first"... its a case of "OUR camp must come first... and last."

God Bless Us All...

can you [and modz] watch your language please.

as for Nidhaar Singh, he isnt actually at this camp - and he has open invitation as he wasnt banned. So dont class Sikh Student camp as a Nidhaar Singh administered camp. Im not a Nidhaar follower, and agree with sentiments expressed by many GurSikhs. But what makes me laugh are bwoys like you who are just all talk and no action. Lets face it... no one has really "sorted" Nidhaar Singh out have they? He still teaches at Gurdwara's does he not? So where is everyone?! Truth of matter is, a lot of people are all talk. They are the ones who only act when theres no danger of them getting smacked up. Be honest.

    • Part of the problem is the hostilities between India and Pakistan. If the border were open, Amritsar would easily become a huge trading city. Secondly, the National Highways Authority of India is constructing a new 6-lane expressway from Kashmir, through Amritsar/Jalandhar/Ludhiana to Dehli which will be part of the Ludhiana-Delhi-Kolkatta Industrial Corridor.  Maps of the New Silk Road show Kolkata as a key part of the "road". The Punjab to Kolkata expressway and rail connections will fulfill the ability to hook up to the New Silk Road.  In addition, while crossing to Pakistan via AH1 (Asian Highway 1) is difficult, India does connect to AH1 on the other side, towards the East. Finally, Punjab can trade with the world via Mundra port in Gujurat. Rail to Mundra, then sea onwards. Dubai is very close with a free port. If you send products to Iran, there are ground links onward to Europe.
    • Yeah, that's one possibility. Another I initially thought is that it's a Muslim trying to gather info. But then, you might ask, how does he know about Sikh textual sources. Well, you'd be surprised at their resourcefulness. A final possibility is he's a weak Sikh who was asked a question by a non-Sikh and now he's suddenly feverishly wondering where it's "written" that you can't marry a young child. To the latter, I would say, you're looking in the wrong spot. Gurbani isn't a 1428 page rulebook, like Leviticus or the Vedas: ਸਿਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਸਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਪੁੰਨ ਪਾਪ ਬੀਚਾਰਦੇ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਬਾਝਹੁ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ The Simritis and Shastras discriminate between charity and sin, but know not the essence of the Real Thing. Without the Guru, they know not the essence of the Reality, know not the essence of the Reality. Anand Sahib.
    • You're confusing two different things: One is merely adding starch to a turban to get a certain feel to the fabric. The other is tying your turban once and taking it off like a hat. It is this that people have a problem with. What's wrong with it is that Rehit says to tie your turban afresh every time. If you ask, "Where is that written?", it's written in Bhai Nand Lal ji's Rehitnama. @ipledgeblue didn't just make it up. Umm, no, bro. We're not evangelical Christians like President George W Bush of the US claiming to "talk to God" who told him to invade Iraq. "Speaking to him directly" basically ends up being doing whatever you feel like with the excuse that Guru ji told you to do it. If you still want to take your turban off like a hat, feel free to do so, but don't claim that it's Rehit.
    • You don't need to wear either a pag or dumalla in the gym. You can simply wear a meter or 1.5m small turban (gol pagg or round turban). It doesn't come off.
    • The reason you don't see anything wrong with it is because like a fish in water, you grew up in Western culture and imbibed it fully. It's very difficult to for parents to inculcate traditional culture while in the West. The reason there is a problem is because a kiss between a man and wife is a sexual act (I didn't say it's coitus, but it's still sexual.) By contrast a kiss between a mother and a child, for example, is not sexual. And in our culture, sexual acts are not allowed in public. Goras do allow it. And that's also the reason they have gay pride parades now with people walking around naked with children in attendance and so forth.
