A very poor way to cover your shortfalls.

We are more in numbers so we have to be less faithful to our religion and have more liberty to allow Sikh girls to marry Muslims.

What a pitiful state of affairs for you guys.

You can't really be this dense...No one said that having more Sikhs means we can afford to be less devout. If NZ had 400,000 Sikhs, I can bet you there would be A LOT more than the odd few interreligion marriages you guys have now. Why dont you find us numbers for interreligion marriage in NZ and England, then we can see what the percentages are based on each nations Sikh population.

Explain how more Sikhs would require more interfaith marriage? Your just saying the same thing without explaining why?

TBH bro, i think the uk, has had to deal with A LOT of bakwaas in past 20+yrs with whole racism from goreh, grooming fiascos, to corrupt gurdwaras who have single handedly held the sikh community in the 1960s, despite it being the new millenium, whilst every other communities had stayed upto date in that respective decade/years. Watever problems we r havin r bein brought upon by current oldies n misguided coconut youths. The current english parchar n progressiveness of sikh community in the past 10yrs tho, leaves me in no doubt, that the current 5-15yr kids will benefit from being the best equipped sikhs we've had. i jus reckon personally we gotta ride out the next 5-10yrs, before we see real fruits of progression. A time where sikhs, who r tryna correct the wrongs of the oldies, wont b called "extremists", but the righteous ppl.

Yeah, it seems like a lot of young guys in UK are more consciously aware of who they are and what they have to do. Got a lot of youth stepping up, I hope you guys see more progress, can't see a well established Sikh community detrioriate.

It's not a "requirement." It's simple numbers, the more the people, the more chances there are for occurrences of interreligion marriages. You simply can't compare a population of 20k to 400k.

That's going backwards though, if there are less people there would more chances of mixing then more, for example minorities usually intermix more than the majority.

Ok, based on your theory.

If in NZ 100 out of every 1000 Sikhs marry outside of Sikhi, thats 2000 interreligion marriages. And a higher rate

If in UK, 50, out of every 1000 Sikhs marry outside of Sikhi, thats 20,000 IR marriages, lower rate but higher number simply because so many more people.

Maybe, we're not on the same page, I don't know.

I understand that point; however, I was explaining some other situation, in both cases Islam still has higher numbers and less interfaith marriages by #'s. So it's not fully based on how large a group is, Afghan Sikhs don't go around mating Muslim Afghans do they?

Arguing with him is like banging your head against the wall.

    • 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.
