Revolution Of Singhnia

[Soho Roadie]

I don't know if its just me that has noticed this but there seems to be an increase in the number of Singhnia, especially in the West Midlands. Its probably due to the work put in by Kaurageous (keep up the good work!).

However, just a humble benti from a brother. It would be helpful if these Singhnia could attend peaceful panthic protests e.g. R4G campaign. I understand that it is harder for bibia to get out of the house sometimes but, your dharam needs you!. At these protests there is a large number of Singhs which makes it look aggressive and intimidating (even though it's not). Also people ask "if this is such a big issue then where is the rest of your community?"

We have no answers for this. So just a little benti to the Singhnia, if you could please attend any panthic protests. I don't know if there any coming up but the way things are going it will probably be soon.

The benti should extend to the brothers, husbands, fathers and sons who think panthic activities are too "dangerous" or too butch for women. How many brothers/husbands are willing to accept involvment of their sisters or wifes in front line hardcore panthic activities? Until we snap out of the boyz club mentality I reckon we will keep struggling with bibya coming forward.

Whats so HARDCORE about the R4G campaign? Whoever has love for their guru will goto these campaigns and fight for the respect guru saheb deserves. Whoever beleive in following hukam from akaal takht will goto this and rally for it. There's nothing "hardcore" about it. We should be supporting such causes not labeling them as hardcore or labelling those who do campaign.

Bibian should get involved in these types of events alongside their brothers as it shows that the community and the family feels the same way, otherwise it makes it look like its just a small group of people in that community. Sitting behind a computer we can talk all we want but to go out and make a difference is a whole new ball game and I think you should try it before putting down those who do.

My view is that Sikhi is not all about being part of some campaign or protests as many of the youth make out today. In order to be classified as super panthic in this day and age it seems that a sikh must realise he/she is a victim and must protest back!?

There have been singhs and singhnia providing the backbone to our community for generations. Have we not realised that without their input we wouldnt be sitting in diwans in the middle of a western nations today.

Love for ones Guru also means implementing a moral lifestyle. Panthic activities also mean langar sewa or washing the panday in the Guru ghar. Hardcore jeevan also means getting up at amritvela. Without some of these essential yet unrecognised activities the community infrastructure would colapse. Singnia have always been there and are providng the backbone to the panth, its us who fail to recognise this just because the numbers at the latest candle light vigil protest seem lower than we want.

Hey id love to attend these protests but i never know when or where they are happening :lol:

let a sister know and ill be there for sure....................... :nihungsmile:

Why do some people think that women are getting the shaft? Perhaps they have other commitments or just don't feel like going to these events. Same can be said for any man. Calling a sikh girl who attends these events "butch" is very silly. I feel there's still too much importance on gender and we look at our fellow sikhs too much as male or female and may act different to them based on this. Of course, if you're going to marry one of them, then that's a different story.
