Sad. I wish the school would find another place.

why? don't you think the schoolkids deserve playing fields ? A thing they didn't have at the last site ...besides it was no longer being used as a sportsground so this is fortunate that they are going to maintain the original fields' functions for the community's kids and neighbours. Besides KOG are full of it they opposed the current site because of traffic , hello they are your kids and neighbours kids travelling there too...maybe they need to look under their own collar - bunch of NIMBYs

This is really great news. Apart from the Guru Nanak High School in Hayes there is no other Sikh high school in West London. The new committee at Sri Guru Singh Sabha had applied for permission for setting up a Sikh high school but from the last I heard this had been refused as the local council said there was already provision in the area. By provision they meant the three high schools in Southall which are now packed full of kids of asylum seekers and where the educational achievements are failing. The Sikhs badly need a high school so the the kids studying at Khalsa Primary in Norwood Green as well as the ones at Nishkam in Brentford can continue their further studies in a Sikh ethos school.

Man I know the area well and I'll share a few thoughts.

Firstly, Osterley ain't what it used to be. When we first moved to these parts it was really leafy and had more of a village atmosphere. The Prime Minster of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto had her London house just round the corner and spent many months each year here. Everyone else was either doctors or stockbrokers and everyone valued the peace and tranquility. Over the last 15 years or so, since it became predominately desi, every household has at least 4 cars.....traffic and parking is a nightmare....every lawned front garden has been paved....and it is in no way still a 'green area' that needs protecting. Those days have long gone. Still mega expensive (houses start at £1,250,000) and upwards but far from still a village green locality. So, no excuse to stop the building of the Sikh school from that point of view.

On the other hand, the school will have as one of it's entrances Wood Lane, and Wood Lane is arguably one of the narrowest roads in west London. It was built for a single horse to pass through....so narrow even a bicycle would struggle to pass another bicycle passing in the opposite direction. So, from that point of view, a nightmare place to have a Sikh school where the typical parents insist on driving their children to school rather than letting them get the bus like normal children.

Question is though, will I put my kids there ?

That depends. Depends firstly on the standard of teaching and secondly on the fact that I don't want my kids to be speaking in the standard 'asian born in the UK' dialect of second-rate english. I swear, these days, I meet some kids at my kids' gurbani classes and I can't tell who was born here in the UK and who arrived from India or anywhere else recently. The ones born here have such a poor grasp of pronounciation and use of English words it is frightening. Once this school is up and running I will arrange an interview with the school and see if they are good enough for my kids. I will want to know if they are going to employ teachers that will teach our kids to talk properly.......innit.

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
