UNFORTUNATELY UNITED SIKHS HAS DONE THIS IN THE PAST BUT NEVER INFORM THE SANGAT ABOUT THE CRIME BY THE PRISONER AT THE TIME OF THE APPEAL FOR FUNDS.ITS ALL ABOUT APPEAL AFTER APPEAL !! mad.gif

A Sikh has no business being in a prison having committed a crime.

A Sikh who had his hair shaved previously was a wife beater - gross

domestic abuse. He paid no attention to the rights of women and now of course he cries to seek attention. He showed no remorse.

These guys with long hair and turbans not only do unsikh acts ie

committing crimes that land them in prison - and then they say they

want to protect their religon. Whilst out of prison - committing crime,

did these guys ever utter wahguru. People like these are politicians

Gundas in Punjab.

Sorry no sympathy from me. Is there a prison authority that one can

write to about how Un-Sikh these guys are in Society.

Fateh!

You're missing the point. It has nothing to do with the individual concerned, it has to do with prison authorities not having the right to divest prisoners of their religious rights.

If this man was a soormah, someone who had been imprisoned for defending Sikhi, or was simply an innocent victim, would you be so swift to have the man's kesh removed?

If i was missing that point i wouldnt have posted the article, The Sikhs should never support a scumbag who is serving time for such a henious crime !!! So what the United Sikhs are doing is spending Sangats money on a wife beater.......Why ? .......blink.gif ....Its a disgrace that this prisnor can be compared to a Soorma , even if to set an example.....if this guy was my friend or brother i would ask him to cut his hair and never call himself a Sikh. again..........

There are are many thousands Soormas rotting in Indian Jails, please do something for them.....

Nope, you're still not getting it. United Sikhs is lobbying for the right of EVERY SIKH in prison, whether falsely accused or not, to be able to keep his kesh as a fundamental religious right.

Singh, forget about the guy in prison, this is not about him. If this guy has his kesh cut and nothing is done about it, NO SIKH will be safe from suffering the same fate.

Neither the prison authorities, nor you, nor anyone else for that matter, has the right to touch a Sikh's kesh.

Regards,

Fateh J!

So its ok if the guy was KPS Gill and we would use him as an example ?? No, to choose a wife beater and to fight him to keep hair is immoral, United Sikhs had ample time before this guy to fight the legislation but didnt. They have jumped on the bandwagon of self promotion without thinking.

Yes, even if it was KPS Gill fighting for the right to keep his kesh in prison. Veer, this is not about United Sikhs asking for money to free this criminal, but about human rights for prisoners, and Sikh prisoners in particular.

Just forget about the individuals concerned - because the issue is greater than any individual - and concentrate on the issue at hand which is about you and any other Sikh who find hirself in prison, for whatever reason, being able to freely practice your religion.

If the guy is guilty, he should most certainly do his time in prison, but he should have the ability to practice Sikhi. And who knows - perhaps prison time will give the guy time to reflect and become a better Sikh.

Think of it on a personal level if it helps: if you were to find yourself in prison tomorrow, how could you feel if someone decided that it was all fine and dandy to shave your head?

Regards,

I agree with Hoshiarpuria on this one ;

"If i was missing that point i wouldnt have posted the article, The Sikhs should never support a scumbag who is serving time for such a henious crime !!! So what the United Sikhs are doing is spending Sangats money on a wife beater.......Why ? .......blink.gif ....Its a disgrace "

VAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA, VAHEGURU JI KI FATEH

So let's have a hypothetical:

Hoshiarpuria goes to jail for a crime he did not commit - let's say a Florida murder. So Hoshiarpuria goes to jail and the first thing he encounters is a prison guard with scissors. Hoshiarpuria resists, screaming his innocence and gross violation of human rights, which only provokes more guards to hold him down and shear off the Kesh he is so beloved of. After recovering, he calls his lawyers about the human rights violation that just occured against him.

Hoshiarpuria: They cut off all of my hair!!! Do something, it is a violation of my human rights!!

Lawyer: There is nothing we can do.

Hoshiarpuria: WHAT?!?!?! Are you kidding me? There are laws in this country.

Lawyer: Yes, but this was fought for by a Sikh Rights organization. However, the Sikh community pulled its support for the cause and the organization lost the battle against the State of Florida. Therefore, all Sikh prisoners are subject to having their hair removed.

Hoshiarpuria: But I am innocent!!!!!

Lawyer: You know that, I know that. But you were tried and convicted by a peer jury. I am sorry, but the law is the law. There is nothing we can do.

Hoshiarpuria now looks forward to a monthly desecration of his Kesh at the hands of the prison guards for the next 25 years to life. The pain of this separation from his Kesh is unbearable. But what will he do?

...

Is it clear now what this case means? UNITED SIKHS is not fighting for the defense of a criminal, they are fighting for the rights of SIKHS in jail. Would you deprive all Sikhs (some of whom I guarantee you are innocent) their Kesh in jails just so you could punish those who are guilty of their crimes? If so, put yourself in jail and the above scenario and let is play out for an hour and report back to this forum of your feelings. And know that even if you were released from prison and attempted to press charges against the jail, you would have absolutely no grounds to do so because the law supports the cutting off of a Sikh's Kesh in jail.

And let me make this a little bit more realistic: There are Sikhs in American immigration jails (Deportation Centers) - asylum cases that have gone bad - who helped to drive forward the Sikh movement from the 80s - what if they are held in a Florida prison before being transferred to a Federal facility - off with their Kesh?

    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj.
