*best* Country For The Sikhs?

[Singh With Dunalli]

Sat Sangat Ji,

I would like to know what all of you think? Which country is the best for the Sikhs to live in? Now, please respond with why you think the country you stated is the best? Try to be polite. :TH: Some things to take into consideration are:

Whether if the John/Jane Doe's of the country know what a SIKH is.

Are they well-settled and into all kinds of jobs in the country.

Are they well-intregrated into society.

Is there Sikhi Saroop strong, and well respected in the country?

Are their basic rights respected and honoured? ETC..

Now, here is what I think.

Canada.

Advantages- Sikhs are into all kinds of profession here, and quite well-intregrated. Many Canadians do know what the Sikhs are, Are becoming a dominant society in the Canadian community.

Disadvantages- They aren't really scattered all over the place, need to do more to teach people about Sikhism, etc.

USA.

Advantages- Lots of successful entrepreneurs, and professors that are Sikhs, are scattered into every State pretty much.

Disadvantages- Not many American know the difference between Sikhs and other religions, should elect Members of Parliament to help voice concerns about the Sikh Community.

UK.

Advantages- Quite respected community in the country, Are progressing pretty well, Been there for a long time.

Disadavantages- Too many earring wearing Singhs in that country, need TURBAN wearing MP'S (Member of Parliaments), More Punjabism rather than Sikhism there (it seems).

India.

I think UK, bz i sikhs there are from the 2nd or 3rd generation and are well mixed into the society. I live in USA, but i went there recently and have seen sikhs into most of the professions, they even have a sikh person as the police chief.

NOt quite.... Last week i was in BAY AREA, supposdly the focal point of sikhs. I was standing outside my aunts house when couple of teenagers drove in a car and hurled eggs at me. Though they missed, but they did this in braod daylight. In the same area couple of weeks back a sikh guy was stabbed outside his home by a neighbourer. No doubt california has a huge concentration of sikhs, but most americans still dont know diff. between sikhs and muslims. Also in the last year or so, 2 sikh taxi drivers has been killed in richmond area.

I know it is pretty bad. People throw beer bottles at me while they drive by and people yell "you stupid muslim" or "look at his hat, Bin laden"{trying to insult a muslim but Im a Sikh }

People in the U.S get their left and their right mixed up so Im not suprized they get Sikhs and muslims mixed up. :lol:

NO doubt the UK is...

Why?

1) Because the Sikh youth are always so welcoming

2) Theres ALWAYS some sort of kirtan prog / youth prog going on

3) Theres more G'ware around here (one in every corner)!!!

4) Ummm... Just becuase it is!

There is good and bad people everywhere, its up the individual to find the best!

I think that Australia and New Zealand are the best and Sikhs are very well respected there better than UK, USA or Canada.

My mom was born in New Zealand she was a newzealanda govna :umm:

[khalsaforce]

i think no need for canada

no need for usa

we need khalistan and that will be the best country for sikhs.
