I would just like to get views from Sikhs in Punjab, about how they view their lives, quality of living, opportunities, discrimination and any other comments. Especially how they feel they compare with other Indians in other States.

My experience of visting Punjab is most people are happy. But then I only meet a specific section. Compaired with other states Punjab feel much more advanced and there is so much infastrucutre more so than other states. OK Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Mumbai, Hydrabad, Banglore, Pune etc. Are well advanced place just like in the west, but when travelling in nearby countryside no area matches upto facilities like Punjab. In Punjab even signs to villages are in English but not down South.

Many Sikhs in the west grow up with anti India / all sikhs are oppressed in India. YES India governement commited many dispicable acts againsts Sikhs but nowadays has it not moved on? As everytime I go I don't get annomosity from the Singhs I speak too. So Sikhs in Punjab want do you think, are we in the west just looking and focusing on a dark chapter in history or are sikhs still being discriminated against. As in India it is not the impression that is being portrayed.

dont ask for bias opinions, do some research yourself based upon events and evidence.

Then make your own knowledgable judgement if Sikhs have gained any sort of political or economic advantages over the years.

I don't know what you mean?

I know what happened in the past.

I been many many times and have also spent many months travelling when I was a student, In Punjab, you don't get a very high level of annomisty amongst the average Singh. Whereas in the west it is different, they say sikhs are ALWAYS hard done by, but they are the most prosperous community in the whole of India. Punjab is majority Sikhs, and is one of the richest states. Definetly it has the best infastructure in the country, even sub-continent. They are the facts.

I just wanted to get an impression of what the residents thought, as many Sikhs I talk too in UK always go on about how this and that is happening but have only visited once in their lives, some people have never ever been to Punjab but go on about what they heard or have read. LOOK I DON'T DENY CRIMES COMMITED AGAINST SIKHS, in the 80's / 90's. It was disgustingly wrong, culprits should be punished. But in 2010, I feel Sikhs are living happily.

what i dont understand is the point of this thread,

if you already came up with your own conclusion.. what else are you looking for?

if you dont see the connection between the anger with a lot of sikhs and the fact that none of the instigators of the crimes you acknowledged have never been held responsible , i dont see how a few personal stories will change your mind.

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
