Theres diversity and theres 3rd world gettos in Birmingham and London, 3rd world sess pits in the Uk, Pekham, Small Heath, Newham complete Buraa Harrl.

TBF, England no longers needs immigrants for 3rd world ghettoes. It's part of their culture, look up 'workhouses' if you dont believe me. If anything it was the English who exported the idea of 3rd world ghettoes to most of the rest of the world.

The thing is is that in the slums it comes down to numbers, and that's something Sikhs will never have. That's why I said the things earlier in the topic. We cant ally or suck up our way out of this one. Self reliance, resourcefulness, tactics, unity and intimidating intelligence were what our ancestors used to stay on top. Why change their winning formula?

You know I had a thought, if we are going to criticise others, we could a bit of reflection upon ourselves first and also make the statement that 'diversity doesn't work in the panth' as we seem to be so factionalised along caste, politics and jathas and whatnot.

Sikh internal divisions have a lot to do with ego and ignorance and runs against historical norms.

British culture is the other way round, with inclusion and diversity being new (and possibly soon to be rejected) cultural architecture.

It also depends on what you mean by diversity going wrong. It's not hard to come up with examples from Britain. Sikh diversity going wrong tends to involve things that arent happening rather than things that have happened, if you get my drift.

I get your drift, but in my eyes that makes us even worse because the idea of inclusion and diversity isn't new to us, in fact it's divinely ordained. So what's our excuse. Looks VERY BAD on us.

What's even worse is that you get people STILL pushing for all that division, even ones who should know better i.e. been educated in the west and exposed to ideas outside of the backward rural Panjabi ones.

The thing is Dal that our ancestors all came from rural backgrounds or not particularly large towns/cities. They never had a problem in the most parts in understanding the importance of what unites them rather than what divides them. That's why the Sikh Empire never had the bickering between religous factions like the other Indian states did. Or the worst excesses against the lower castes like pouring lead in ears to stop them hearing etc which was common practice in other parts of South Asia. Regardless of how uneducated or rural people were, they still knew the score. That's why Gurudwaras, villages, towns were all built like forts and defensive ditches were so common. We knew who the real enemies we had to keep at arms length. We didnt build them for the glory of caste or religous jatha. Stupidity and ruralness cant be an excuse for people to shield behind. It never was before.

People today love pettiness and smaller pictures. Being a big fish in a small pond seems more appealing rather than being what we are and taking the world as it comes. This shortsightedness and lack of motivation for unity is what allows us to be taken advantage of ... by the very people we bemoan for not accepting us for what we are.

At the end of the day we are all brown. Nothing we will do will change that. The goreh and su//eh will have to accept us Sikhs as we are. If they cant, and we are united, then they can just suck it up. If they cant, and we arent together, then expect to be the big fish next to some chips on our enemies' plate.

Why even bother to explain yourself. WLS is a textbook jat-boot-licker. Anyone can see that from 100 miles off.

He's the docile peasant the Anglos wheel out on cue to make it look all is alright. Someone who will do what he's told and say what he's told to say.

What amazingly stupid things to say Dal Singh. :wow: Your bitterness towards life really has started to manifest itself strongly in the last week or so.

Remind me again brother.........What exactly have 'jatts' and the 'licking the boots' of said people got to do with me celebrating the beauty of diversity in UK society ?

Remind me again brother.........Who exactly told me to say the UK is so wonderful ? Who exactly were these strange people that you say came in the night and gave me an eye transplant in my sleep so that I would only see what 'they' want me to see ? And who exactly are 'they' ?

There really is something quite sinister and dark about you Dal Singh. You positively ooze bitterness, depression, hatred and intolerance.

Dubai, Singapore, Honk Kong, NY, Tokyo and Vancouver would all beg to differ.

My relatives talk quite highly of Germany and they dont experience the same racism or segregation that is in the UK. I dont know any Sikhs in France so I'll take your word for it.

Bhaji, I don't quite agree to your view about Germany here.

My mother is a German. When my naanni last visited me, she said that Brits (where I live, at least) are very welcoming and quite unlike the Germans in that sense. She had asked for directions to a park from a couple of people. She really liked it how everyone replied with the word 'love' or 'sweetheart' in a sentence! This is an observation of a 75-year-old German.

I'm from Germany as well (have asian looks though....see my DP :p ) But people here in the U.K, be it on the bus, in a shop...wherever.....are more polite and kinder than Germans.

That is interesting. My cousins say that in Germany their just left to get on with it, they dont feel the same 'clash of cultures' they had in the UK. I've only been to Germany for a couple of weeks so I couldnt really tell.

Also bare in mind that politeness costs nothing and doesnt really reflect what's going on inside. Like Australians, they use the word 'mate' even when they're arguing and fighting each other! But it's good that the natives are civilized in your neck of the woods. In some places it's like a live action Jeremy Kyle show.

    • Umm, that's totally irrational, bro. There are plenty of prakash-dara Singhs in Punjab (less than we'd like, but still plenty). No one cares that you are sabat soorat. It isn't 1986. You can walk around in chola, kurta-pajama, or jeans. Whatever. If you want the look @dallysingh101 is referring to, just go into a cheap clothing shop (not a Western-style mall) and buy some shirts for 250 rupees or a track suit for 2000 rupees. You'll get the cheap stuff made in some sweatshop in Bombay.
    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • 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!!
