SGPC attacks JK Rowling's new book. According to reports today, the SGPC in Amritsar demands that Rowling censor parts of her book in India because they depict bullying of a female Sikh student for her facial hair.

This is despite the fact that another story this week has proven that female Sikh students can easily look after themselves:

J.K. Rowling- thank you for introducing the audience to diversity and highlighting another form of bullying....you are making the world a better place

Balpreet Kaur- Thank you for living up to your name and show us the strength (bal) of your love (preet) and exemplifying how to deal with bullys...you are making the world a better place

SGPC (archaic clowns)- learn from the examples above and start making the world a better place! Get off your male privileged high horses and stop trying to protect those whom you can learn a lesson or two from..

sgpc has no credibility why attack this book when there are a million more problems that sikhs are facing that are much worse then this its becuse if they go after the corrupt politicians that own them it would be contraversial and there would be a reaction so instead they choose to go after one lone woman living thousands of miles away to make it look they they are not complety useless and that they are actually doing something while at the same time avoiding contraversary(atleast for them)

I've got to say, Sikhi's egalitarian nature appeals to many of us on a deep level - so it make sit an even bigger shame that when you do get up close to apnay - the last thing that would strike you about them would be that they were a particularly egalitarian lot. lol

We've got to get closer to the ideal - BIG TIME.

    • 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.
