According to the UK's latest statistics (2012) the Sikhs make up 0.9% of the prison population and thats largely in line with them being 0.7% of the general population of the UK.

The Hindus make up 0.5% of the prison population and its important to note how the Hindus in general in the UK are mostly middle class and live in nice areas where crime and contact with the criminal justice system is less likely. The Sikhs in the UK however, mostly live in inner city areas and are mostly working class. Thus, it makes perfect sense that a Hindu in the UK would be slightly less likely than a Sikh in the UK to be in prison.

That is common sense but common sense goes out of the window when one considers the figures for India. In India, the opposite is true as the Sikhs do not exist at all among the millions of Hindus that belong to one of the criminal tribes or castes and Sikhs do not exist among the very destitute beggars who are of course more likely - sometimes justifiably - to committ crime. In India then, despite the Sikhs being less likely to commit crime than a Hindu there are three times more of them in prison. How do you justify that then ?

Good Point.

Evidence please?

0.06% of British Hindus are in prison compared to 0.18% of British Sikhs, according to this http://www.mcb.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/MCBCensusReport_2015.pdf page 42

Your right, that seems unjustifiable. Maybe you could try looking up the prison stats in Punjab and see what the most common types of arrests are.

This is a straightforward case of prejudice against the sikhs and we all know the reasons, don't we? Again a straightforward case of deliberate demonisation, institutionalised vilification, degredation of one's much glorified past/history and sense of self-worth and you name it and it is all there. It is all deliberate and with full knowledge. No doubt about it. This is just so shocking that I cannot find words to express my annoyance or hatred towards India or the effing rulers of that effing country!!

I AM NOT INDIAN. I NEVER WAS AND NEVER WILL EVER BE ONE. I am a sikh through and through but not an Indian. I don't have Indian passport and I wasn't born there. If one is not born there then they can't be calling themselves Indians. I feel very sad about what they are doing to our sikh kom there, it makes your blood boil. Even if they protest peacefully they are shot!!! Our Living Guru is desecrated deliberately and knowingly by those that are totally committed to destroy sikhi from India. Well, I am truly shocked.

"Just what kind of a Sikh would be happy to inflict such a degrading existence and value upon his children ?"

Not a single sikh ever! NOT NOW NOT EVER!!

Are you an Amritdharii or a 3HO

Sikh? Just wondering?

Yes, Hindus like you will justify it!

Same person hiding under a different ID that was making online threats to singhnihk on another thread on sikhsangat.com!

singhnihk left the forum for a while and came back only recently. The MOD knows who this person is and should ban his/her IP forever!

Unless, it is someone on the moderating team playing up? Mod, is it?

    • 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.
