One look at her dad's dastaar, and I reckon 90% of Republicans wouldn't vote for her. lol

 

Look at how she is already being portrayed as a chaaploose in the UK.....

 

 

 

It would hurt her with some republicans, but I think most conservative Americans find a special appeal in people from minority backgrounds who disown their background and heritage. Evangelical Christians especially delight in examples of people from "exotic" religious backgrounds who become extreme right-wing Christians (as Haley presents herself). On top of that, Haley married a white guy, has essentially white Christian children, etc.

For conservative Americans who feel like their culture is under attack and in danger of being diluted by foreigners, they relish in examples of what used to be the norm: their own Western Christian culture erasing the culture of others.

By the way, speaking of her dastar-wearing father, how pathetic is he?

Haley seems completely ignorant of Sikhi. These people could not take any time to teach their children basic things and instill a basic attachment to their dharam? Of course, I should not pose these questions as if such things are unusual --- I have seen so many examples of such failure in my extended family.

I have cousins in Canada who grew up with grandparents who basically sat around doing path all day. All four are atheists who are married to or in relationships with non-Sikhs.

I think the ethnic people who do this know that this is the 'fast track' way into the club.

Yes, of course.

Most ethnic people who gain prominence in conservative circles are obvious phonies who see that they would have little competition in becoming one of the prominent token minorities, so they take the "fast track."

You guys know I'm not a big fan of Sikh "royals," but note how the British elites of the 1800s derived a certain pleasure out of taking someone like Duleep Singh, bringing him to England, converting him to Christianity, marrying him off to a westerner, stripping him of every last drop of his Sikh and Punjabi heritage, and watching him live out his life as an English gentleman. It was their way of flexing and demonstrating their superiority.

White American evangelical Christians derive a similar pleasure from the existence of people like Nikki Haley and Bobby Jindal.

With someone like Haley, there is the added primal satisfaction of "taking" another group's women.

Absolutely. His wife Bamba was actually half German and half Ethiopian by the way. A few years ago I spoke to an informed women from a Caribbean background and she told me that colonial goray used to purposefully 'breed' certain different races (they had enslaved) together in their belief that it would dampen down the fierce independent streak they thought certain races innately had - in order to make the offspring more docile and controllable. If they were trying this in M. Daleep Singh's case, they failed, given the later activism of his daughter Sophia.

I think western goray like to try and do this in general, not just US evangelicals. I think it stems from the belief of supremacism, and some twisted attempt to demonstrate this. In previous times, when the situation was reversed (white females with moc) - it would be seen as a loss of prestige for them. This is clear from the way goray censored any letters of brown soldiers in WW1 France that referred to sexual relations with white females. Also in how they essentially banned white females from openly having relationships with black men in the US and the Caribbean and also south Africa, but weren't averse to taking black females themselves. They essentially had a carefully constructed system to groom females by isolating them (i.e. moving them from the fields to the house).

On a slight tangent, I see the Kohinoor is back in the limelight. I see it's still  seems to be giving the possessor's family mad bad luck.....lol

Well he was OK with her entering beauty pageants and posing in swimsuits while she was a teenager so that tells you all about him. 

Ideally we shouldn't be moving abroad in the first place but we love following the Christian goray around the world.

    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj. 
    • best thing is to follow the Sikh Rehat Maryada and use common sense for gray areas. Anything outside of that's irrelevant tbh that code is what Guru Gobind Singh Ji and the 5 Pyaare agreed on when creating Amrit in 1699
