WOW!!! tremendous stuff khalsa ji "Hammertime007", u notice also how the janani at the end (newleywed) sed how important it is for them 2 teach their kids panjabi/sikhi, and also that old Buddhi who was sayin how before eating in the morning u shud naam jap etc, jus shows u how time has changed, coz as u have noticed NONE of them look like amritdharis, yet if that programme was filmed 2day in 2012, u wud expect only amritdhari/very religious family 2 say those things. Also regarding the anand karaj, i dont kno bowt u, but ive never been 2 a anand karaj/sikh wedding when the darbar wasnt packed, its always 100% capacity. Altho in india, its disgusting how only 10-15ppl wil attend the anand karaj, rest r at the hall gettin fat n drunk, luckily (in my experience) ive never witnessed that mentality here in england, long may it continue.

It's a disgrace back home. The men start drinking on the morning of the wedding before the groom has even left for the Anand Karaj although I'm sure most of them are still hungover from the night before. There's a lot of shardaa in this country from all types of Sikhs despite what people may assume about NRIs.
