I was wondering which way do y'all vote. This is open to all ages even though elections would not be.

Personally i'm a swing voter but everyone else in my familly votes for socialist parties

Would be interested in your views on the different political parties in your native countries also- do you think they care about the sikh vote?

:T:

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa!

Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!!

i think that the liberals make more sens economically, and would serve sikhs better as they tend to be more open minded to different cultures/religions. as far as ethics go no party, even sikhs, will uphold sikhi to the nth degree

here's my views :

Liberals (aka democratic or kerry)

Pro : Nature friendly, Immigration supporter, no discrimination on lifestyle aka gay community, No strict punishment, No to arms, Works for low class families.

Con : Not religious minded ppls, Gayism is against sikhi, Immigration is good but outsourcing is NOT, Only trying to reach black or hispanic origin ppls: if indians mentioned it will be pro-bjp ppls; since they control and lobby the support !

Conservative (aka republican)

Pro : Not strong immigration supporter, do not support gay comm., strict law, Gives high preference to family life, Supports "Right to bear Arms" & Works for high class families.

Con : Strict immigration (for our bros/sis to back down in punjab), Not nature friendly, WAY TOO much PATRIOTISM.

So far.. i think sikhs need to hang in in-between republican and democratic !! Either way one can take advantages !! SO keep your mind open !!

    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
