I've lived in Brum all my life. Avoid Handsworth and Handsworth Wood completely. Yes there are **some** apne there but the areas are not great overall. Apologies if this offends current residents there. If a family member was asking me the same thing I would point blank tell them the same. In my experience look at south Birmingham e.g Hall Green and its neighbour the west midland borough of Solihull. Recently Solihull was named as one of the best places to live in the UK and the house prices promptly shot through the roof. The secondary schools there are massively oversubscribed. There are certain areas where the bulk of the community is Muslim avoid these areas - alum rock, small Heath, Sparkhill, Balsall Heath.

Sutton Coldfield is where you want to be if you want the best of education in the midlands for your children.

Rents and property rates are on the higher side but if you search, you can get a bargain. So, don't delete Sutton Coldfield from your search for higher rents but give it a shot, you may be lucky.

I am currently renting in Four Oaks but got a deal because I searched hard. Four Oaks has Sikh as second religion after Christianity. Even the GP has a Gurmukhi check in tuch-screen kiosk.

There is a twitter account @Sikhs_or_Sutton or search for Sikhs Sutton Cold'fd someone might be able to guide you if you tweet there.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
