How Does This Relate To Sikhs

I live in the UK.

What made us great in the past was that we were very compassionate (I think we still are), fought for others rights, never opressed people (during the Sikh Empire everyone was an equal) and we were brave.

But yes the worst thing that has happened to us is greed.

I know plenty of Sikhs who are Amritdhari or come from Amritdhari families and their only goal is to make as much money as possible so that they can have the flashest car etc. Some will even go to illegal lengths by performing fraud to obtain this money.

You only have to look at our weddings to see people hiring Ferraris and Lamborghinis. Basically our culture these days is all about showing off. We will do anything to make money even if it involves breaking the law.

Aunties gossip about flana having this and that. This in turn creates an atmosphere of jealousy. This is unhealthy.

This is why a lot of apne hate each other. My dad even told me a joke that someone told him. A muslim will get so happy when he sees another muslim, he will shake his hand or give him a hug. An apna sees another Sikh and he will get gusa and look the other way!

It reminds of school, other Sikhs ocassionaly started trouble with me, along with the muslims. But it was extremely rare for a muslim to start trouble with another muslim.

We screw each other over. Look at all the deaths in Punjab in the 80s and 90s. 95% of these were carried out by fellow 'Sikhs' like KPS Gill. It's because they were given pay rises and promotions by holding these fake encounters.

Muslims and jews are famous for looking after their own, we are sadly not.

We need to get rid of this obsession with greed and showing off. Sikh youth listening to rap music in the west is not good either as this also promotes a greedy, 'showing off' life.

    • 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.
