Waaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa

Waaheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

As we all know the situation in Iraq is deplorable as innocent people of all faiths are being kidnapped and killed. My friends just came back from Punjab and told me about a Sikh truck driver that was kidnapped and murdered In Iraq. He worked for a Kuwaiti trucking company. He has left behind a wife and two young children and they are on the verge of becoming homeless because the Kuwaiti trucking company is refusing to compensate them and the INdian government is doing nothing as well. Another Sikh truck driver escaped and came back to pUnjab and told of the cruel treatment of Punjabi Sikh truck drivers in Kuwait. He said that the Kuwaiti trucking companies are forcing Sikh truck drivers to take shipments to Iraq and if they refuse they are brutally beaten and their passports are held forcefully so they cannot go back to India. He said that the Sikh drivers are being abused very badly and the INdian government is doing nothing about it.

The Sikh driver who had been killed sold most of his land to get to Kuwait. Now after the sad events his family is left behind with no aide.

We need to find out what is going on. If theINdian government is not doing something well I think we need to do something. Write to our leaders and try to help these struggling families out. The SGPC which handles millions of dollars of Charawa can help such people but their infighting never ends and basically they are incompetent. We really need to do something.

First of all I need someone to verify this story and try to found out more. If we can get more info on such matters it would be a huge help. Thanks.

Dear Sikhs,

Please contact Amnesty International www.amnesty.org, your Local MP as the Coalition Forces out in Iraq are supposed to protect ALL workers in the re-building of the country. Contact our Sikh papers Des Pardes, The Sikh Times, Panjab Times, British Sikh Federation.

I don't hold out for much hope for the Indian goverment in protecting the Sikhs. As for the SGPC as a Sikh organisation acting on our behalf you can draw your own conclusions.

that's what i asked my friends and they said that no newspapers reported it only some Punjabi newspapers in Punjab have reported it....

good ideas, thanks. I still would like to get the strory from Punjab because If Kuwait is abusing Sikhs in this manner well then there is a serious problem because not only do truck drivers have to worry about Iraqi terrorists but their own employers are terrorizing them...

      Concept of Sin

      By BhForce · Posted

      I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124

      Fake Baba

      By BhForce · Posted

      That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.

      Fake Baba

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!

      Is suraj parkash right? is it a reliable source of info?

      By BhForce · Posted

      Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
