supposedly between Sikhs and Muslims from what I've heard from the Singhs who know people around there. News is floating around that a Gurdwara Sahib was attacked, however the Indian media doesn't even mention the names of the 2 communities.

Mehatb Singh ji it is the state of Uttrakhandh not UP ,Secondly BJP led goverment is trying to create trouble each year as many sikh pilgrims pass through this state on their way to Hemkunt shaiab .Last year there was also a clash between pilgrims and local shopkeepers the reason DUE ROAD SIDE GURU KA LANGAR RUN BY SINGHS LOCALS ALLEGED THIS AFFECTED THEIR BUSSINESS wHILE SINGHS ALLEGED they were given unhygenic food by local shopkeepers at 3 to 4 times rates and dhabbaswallahs openly indulged in verbal abuse and making communal comments.Last year Uttarakhandh goverment banned road side Langars which led to protests by sikhs in allover India but Prakash chand badal refused to intervenue when the matter was resolved badal and co tried to get credit this was the last year issuse.Present cause of trouble is unknown it is high time sikhs should learn to defend themselves and devolep milatary doctrine and invest in arms.In punjab a large no of migrant people r given arm licenses which r otherwise impossible in Bihar.U.P.iF SIKHS CAN INVEST IN COSLY CARS ,HOUSES WEAPONS COSTS LESS IT IS HIGH TIME WE SHOULD LOOK INTO IT.

Do these dhabbawallas belong to any particular community?

Are these recent clashes betw Sikhs and Muslims or Sikhs and Hindus? UP and Uttarakhand has been highly radicalised by right wing parties, which is a bad thing for minorities living there. I fear for the lives of these Sikhs. Udham Singh Nagar district in UK and Pilibhit district in UP have a sizeable number of Sikh families living there (many refugees from Pakistan).

    • 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?
