Riots Throughout Uk


Recommended Posts

Singhs should liase with police let them know they are patrolling southall area so that they dont get mistaken for the criminals

2 problems there Singh. First of all, the main reason that anarchy has been allowed to continue......the reason the police cannot come down hard....is because among the rioters are small children as young as 10, as well as other onlookers and well-wishers. There is, at the moment in London, no law whatsoever.

Secondly, of all the districts of London, Southall is up there with Brixton as the pioneers of riots...and at the forefront of those riots of 1979 and 1981 were Sikh youths. Not black youths......Not muslim youths...but Sikh youths.

I take issue with the last statement

The riots in 1981 where Sikh youths were up in arms were against the national front who had came to disturb the communal harmony and attack the Sikhs there. This type of rioting done by black criminal gangs has no rightous or moral ground behind them they are just criminal looters on a mass scale done by majority black and mixed race youths who are in street gangs attacking police, innocent civilians and shop staff. People could have understood had the riots just stayed in tottenham and was over in a day but when the looting started the real motives came out. Also they are highly organised because the older males of these gangs are getting the kids to do the dirty work.

We need to be sensible about this and use our brains. There's no point in our brains going into overdrive and start thinking we need to protect places such as 'wednesfield' or Hounslow etc. Our priorities should be the places where the gurdware are at a real risk. The top priority should of course be the gurdwaras in east London. Even the police acknowledge that seeing as they have just closed Barking station. The second layer of priority should be the Woolwich / Plumstead area and perhaps the Soho Road area of Birmingham. In the west the furthest it has a possibility of reaching is Acton or Shepherds Bush. It won't reach the sikh areas of southall or hounslow and the central london gurdwara (of shepherds bush) is in a setting (bayswater) which, by rights, should not be affected.

A word of warning though : The biggest gangsters in London.....the Turkish mafia of Hackney, Wood Green and Tottenham.....were not able to defend their businesses against the rioters.

you just said

" There's no point in our brains going into overdrive and start thinking we need to protect places such as 'wednesfield' or Hounslow etc. Our priorities should be the places where the gurdware are at a real risk."

Well done to the Sikh channel for issuing a alert for sangat to look out for their local gurdwara. Speed is of the essence in these situations.

SANGAT TV WERE DOING LIVE BROADCAST FROM SOHO RD THE MOMENT THERE WAS NEWS OF POSSIBLE ATTACKS ON GURDWARA

    • I was searching igurbani.com which gives correct pronunciation of Gurbani. I can’t remember all of it at once. I guess it relies on more practice, like more Sehaj Paths. The meaning becomes clearer. I have noticed slight variants in it. This could be because it’s written in old Punjabi.  
    • Veer Manpreet Singh, a lay preacher, claims that -Sikhs aren't supposed to worship Guru Granth Sahib ji. -We are only supposed to worship God as is written in Guru Granth Sahib ji. -We only "revere" Guru Granth Sahib ji.     He says a lot of other things in this video, some are good refutations of Hindu superstitions, but the reformers often go too far. Anyways, what he is saying about not worshipping Guru Granth Sahib ji is totally wrong. The reason is Guru Granth Sahib ji is Guru. Guru is Satguru. Satguru is God. We worship God. Therefore, we also worship Satguru (Guru Granth Sahib ji).   There are innumerable verses in Gurbani equating God and Guru. ਗੁਰੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਗੁਰੁ ਡੁਬਦਾ ਲਏ ਤਰਾਇ ॥੨॥ The Guru is the Supreme Lord and the Transcendent Master. The Guru floats (saves) the drowning one. p49   ਗੁਰੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਏਕੋ ਜਾਣੁ ॥ Know the Guru and God as One. p864   ਗੁਰ ਨਾਲਿ ਤੁਲਿ ਨ ਲਗਈ ਖੋਜਿ ਡਿਠਾ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੰਡੁ ॥ There is no one at par with the Guru. I have searched and seen the whole universe. p49 (If the Guru is the greatest in the whole universe, shouldn't we worship the Guru?)   I'd like to ask Manpreet Singh what is worship? Any reasonable definition would include obeisance, remembrance, and praise. Those are exactly the same things Gurbani says to do regarding Guru! Remembrance and obeisance: ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਅਪਨਾ ਸਦ ਸਦਾ ਸਮ੍ਹਾਰੇ ॥ Ever, ever, I think of the True Guru, ਗੁਰ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ਕੇਸ ਸੰਗਿ ਝਾਰੇ ॥੧॥ and the Guru's feet I brush with my head's hair. p387   Praise: ਗੁਰੁ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਆਪਿ ॥ The Guru himself is the transcendent Lord and the supreme master. ਆਠ ਪਹਰ ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰ ਜਾਪਿ ॥੪॥੧੬॥੬੭॥ Throughout the eight watches of the day, O Nanak meditate thou on the Guru. p387   In fact, Gurbani says the way to find God is to worship (puja) of Guru: ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ਧੋਇ ਧੋਇ ਪੂਜਹੁ ਇਨ ਬਿਧਿ ਮੇਰਾ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਲਹੁ ਰੇ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ Washing and bathing the True Guru's feet, worship thou them. In this way thou shall obtain my Lord Master. Pause. p1118   Could it be any clearer that we are to worship Guru ji?
    • Bro, reciting a shorter Chaupai Sahib is hardly "anti-Dasam". It's fine to argue that the longer Chaupai is more traditional, but the short one isn't anti-Dasam. That's like claiming shorter Rehras is anti-Guru Granth Sahib ji just because there are fewer selections from Guru Granth Sahib. It might not be traditional, but it's not anti-Guru Granth Sahib. I prefer the longer versions, but let's not exaggerate. Every tradition has a slightly different Rehras version. Nanaksar vs Taksal vs Nihangs and so on. The basic template for Rehras is at the beginning of Guru Granth Sahib ji. Later, Chaupai Sahib was added and Anand Sahib always follows as the end of a process. Then some sangats added more saloks to start Rehras and others were added at the end. Some additional selections from Dasam Bani were also added, but it wasn't the same ones for every sangat. The important thing is to not hate on each other for these variations.
    • Umm, so you're upset that this jatha did Chaupai the same way it's being done at Harimandar Sahib for 100 years? Shouldn't you be upset at the manager of Darbar Sahib? I'm not saying that Sikhs who are aware of certain issues shouldn't do the longer Chaupai, but there are only so many battles you can fight. Instead of calling some jatha traitors because they're doing the (for better or worse) "standard" Chauapai published by the SGPC, it would be better to change things from the central point. You can't fault the average Sikh for picking up the average Gutka and doing paath.
    • It's the same here in Toronto. Alot of the gudwaras here are political orientated and get tons of funding from the government-probably want them stay hush hush with all the BS that has been happening with India.  These guys are skewing gurbani. A complaint was sent to a ragi singh a couple of days ago in regards to a hukamnama.
