Pyareo,

I read this and started crying, my heart and soul are full of dukh right now :'( They cut a pyara Uncle jee's hair and slit his wrists during a robbery at a CVS Pharamcy store in NJ.

My dear brothers and sisters please stand by me and let us fight for Justice, raise more awareness, and pray for & support our pyaray Uncle Jee...

Those veer/bhaina in New Jersey we're really counting on you for the most help...I will send out emails to various Sikh groups, Vicky Singh jee and everyone else please let's write a small note to send out to all our contacts and organisations [sMART, our local gurdwaras, etc].

NORTH ARLINGTON - Two armed men cut the power to a Schuyler Avenue drugstore, herded employees to the back of the store, and sliced off one worker's hair before making off with nearly $5,000 Monday night, police said.

One of the men waited until the CVS closed at 10 p.m. before approaching two employees as they rounded up shopping carts outside, said Police Capt. Louis Ghione.

Meanwhile, another man cut the power lines to the store, he said.

Armed with a handgun and a knife, the two robbers led the two workers into t

he store.

The robbers then cornered a Sikh employee who was wearing a turban, pulled off the turban, and cut off part of the man's long hair while taunting him with slurs, Ghione said. Sikhs are forbidden by their religion to cut their hair, believing it is a gift from God. The man was also slashed on the hand while trying to fend off the attack, Ghione said.

As the robbers emptied the day's receipts from the cash registers, an accomplice kept watch outside the store, Ghione said. Employees described him as white, with blond hair and wearing a white T-shirt.

The man holding the handgun was described as black and about 5 feet 5 inches. He was wearing a dark sleeveless shirt and loose khaki pants and had cornrows in his hair, the employees told police.

The second robber was described as black, about 5 feet 10 inches, and wearing a black mask and a black T-shirt with "I love you" written in red across the front.

Employees did not see which way the robbers fled, Ghione said.

Anyone with information is asked to call (201) 955-5680.

:D I know jee... Thank you veera for your support, and thank you Singh jee for letting the local Gurdwara Sahib know. It just hurts so much, there was NO NEED at all for them to touch this man, even if a robbery. How did cutting this Uncle Jee's hair somehow help their robbery?? They were going to get the money anyway..they did it for their own 'swaad'...waheguru buksh lai...

All I know is 'true is the lord, true is HIS JUSTICE', he will help us through this horrific crime...

with tears OF STRENGTH,

Summeet Kaur

Dear Vicky Singh,

We are equally perturbed by this incident. WE are contacting the authorities and the political leaders. May Waheguru the victim and his family. We also pray for the chardhi kala of the entire panth.

I will keep you informed on the latest details.

Regards,

Dr. Rajwant Singh,

National Chair,

Waheguru Jee Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Jee kee Fateh

Attacks on Sikhs in USA especially are increasing since the incident of September 11 . Every time various Sikh organisations take up this issue with local Govt. authorities, and imphasis on doing more PR work wrt informing & educating local people about Sikhism. Unfortunately there is no big success in this matter has been observed.

Everybody in this World is having right for self defense. Our GURU Sahib Jee bless every Sikh a Kirpan for self defense and to protect innocenet and needy. As far as I know, there is no Amritdhari Sikh among those who have been unfourtnatley attacked in USA and other countries.

Sadh Sangat Jee, Why not Sikh Organizations think on following points apart from taking up issues with local authorities and PR work to fight out this problem:-

1. Promoting and inspiring Sikh people (men and women) to connect themselves with GURUJEE by taking amrit and always keeping kirpan as their dress code, teach them gataka to use the kirpan and some fighting techniques like Judo or martial arts in case of emergency for self defense. Regular camps should be organized for this purpose.

2. Taking approval from local authorities for keeping stuff like revolver for self defense by the Sikh people especially in the areas which are more affected with these kinds of incidents.

bhul chuk maaf

Waheguru Jee Ka Khalsa Waheguru Jee kee fateh

    • 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.
