It is hard enough having to convince campers about Sikhi and Amrit. Now you want them to do lessons on how to behave at home.

I would say from a non-sikhs point of view, that the 1st generation have laid the foundation for upcoming Sikhs as there parents have created businesses which has instilled a sense of entrepreneurship, Pete Virdee is a good example. Generally speaking its a prosperous community.

Educationally Sikhs are doing very well. Most sikh young people go on to higher education. Those that dont often continue in successful family businesses. Most Sikhs are relatively well off compared to other communities.

Politically Sikhs are weak. Not enough Sikh MPs, councillors etc therefore Sikh influence in the higher tiers of society such as government, funding, community resources etc is pretty weak. Sikhs themselves are rich but sikh institutions are poor. Gurdwaras are rich but elections, community in fighting and lack of vision means that they tend not be of any big community value other than a place where ceremonies are carried out. There are no Sikh hospitals, very few sikh schools, charity organisations etc.

mate what you normally get as campers is internet/facebook brats who haven't a clue on how to respect elders and their own parents- respect don't mean jack all to this young upcoming generation -- and that is about 70% of them ...so it wouldn'nt be a bad idea that before you teach them amirt and sikhe - you check on their respect level - do they even have an iota of respect for anything let alone sikheee. Their punjabi is only bhangra knowledge mostly and therefore the root of the problem of understanding our culture - sikhe or not
