cali khalsa ji this isn't a fault of AKJ. No matter what it is still a gurdwara, if something needs to be done the blame goes to the gurdwara comitee.

Pyare jio, yes it is a huge shame that punjabi people associate themselves with caste, and build gurdwaras according to them.

AKJ UK has always worked to break down caste barriers as per the ideolgue of Guru Shaibaan.

The situation in Slough is there are 2 Gurdwaras. One Singh Sabha and one Ramgarahia. You may say do keertan at Singh sabha, because it does not associate with caste. However the reality is in recent years Singh sabha has become very pro-Congress, and generally non-Panthic. It is very anti-youth. This is apparent by it significant non support of the multi-million pound sikh school project in slough.

The Ramgarhia for all its inherent caste issues, has to its credit supported the sikh school project, and allows youth to use its facilities to counter the many problems young sikhs in slough are facing. I would say the Ramgarhia gurdwara is currently significantly more Panthic than the other option.

The AKJ UK Gursikhs in slough, particularly the youth are heavily involved in the school project, which is much needed in slough. The rainsbhai will further promote the school project.

I think today almost every Gurdwara has some kind of anti-Panthik element. Some have caste, others follow babas, etc. It is the duty of every Gursikh to bring social reform. The jatha does this via bani of Guru Ji, and Bana of the Gursikhs. In time as more education reaches the youth they will realise the fallacies of much of what the elders have done with the Gurdwaras, and use them for strong Gurmat parchaar. But that day will only come when more youth have spirit, and stop running aw

ay from the problems in our Gurdwaras. The committees are a bastion for retired punjabis and their mind and ego games.

With Bani & Bana, the generation that will bring change is gradually revealing itself.

Do not close your minds to these places, but open their minds to Gurmat.

Thanks for the info. Just got a call about this too. Looks like no one knew about this one in advance.

Please can we request any sewadars in Slough to go to the Banqueting Hall now and take some pictures of the wedding, granthi & ragi jatha. This will be a great help.

We will get in touch with the committee now and urge that the sangat help us out by also getting in touch with the committee and communicate their disgust. Unfortunatly it's too late to stop the beadbi from taking place this time but we must prevent this from happening again.

Any further information/help would be most appreciated.

Call this number if you can help 07743 211135
