dalsingh101 - jeeo very informative post and most truthful to the point - many thanks for taking time out and sharing.

It's amazing even one of those youth who was recued by the sikh channel and interviewed - when asked how much land does your

family havae back home he said - 12 acres - i was shocked and the reasons are exact as you and s1ngh says 100% spot on.

To be honest if we ever have to go back we wouldn't surive at all over there- it's pure cowbiy country whether business or agriculture or driving.

Maybe we just need to face up to the fact that as a community, we are too independent minded, and excessively prone to favoritism and

corruption to pull of some big economic moves?

You can see it in London, where Sikhs were one of the most prosperous communities not long ago, but who have put down NO independent economic markers, whilst Muslims have created their own STRONG economy with Islamic bookshops cum clothes stores, Halal butchers, all manner of grocery outlets and even hair dressing! Add minicab driving to that list as well.

Has anyone spoken to the gurdwarras yet about this issue?:

They need to build at least one homeless shelter and allow sikhs to spend the cold winter nights in their premises- and physically get sewadars to go out and invite the homeless people to come and get food etc. If they say they cant afford to feed them or any other rubbish, we should all get up and tell them that we will go without langar so that they can have it daily-

They should speak of this issue in their speeches at wedding and in daily sangat. It's time the sangat stood up and started doing what the Gurus taught us by example.

Afterall the actual Sikh is the servant of the helpless and needy- we live for seva of naam and the underdog.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
