Why Lack Of Sikh In Boxing Mma An Other Combat Sports

That's the crux of the issue right there. As well as being the reason why we have a dearth of boxers/MMA fighters to our community's name, it's also why we have no poets, no writers, no journalists, no artists, no actors and no sportsmen. Sikh parents are consumed with money, and the way to guarantee that their kids have money is by forcing them to play it safe and study engineering rather than allowing them to take a risk by following their dreams of boxing fame. They're not risk takers - but taking risks is how a people grow.

An sikhs on average have the same education rate as the english yet the english still box kick box play rugby an football

It's more complicated than that:

Sikhs have a much higher education rate as the working class English, who are amongst the lowest academic achievers here. Football, and boxing are seen as typical working class things, if you've grown up in that environment you'd see how deeply these things run in their society. All working class whites dream of being footballers. In East London there are a couple of famous boxing gyms (Repton for example).

Rugby is much 'higher class' sport. The people who traditionally play football are uneducated, whilst 'rugger buggers' often come from educated, middle class backgrounds. You can tell the difference by the crowds of football games compared to rugby. The former have a lot of yobbo issues that the latter don't, and are much more 'boisterous'.

Same with cricket, it is not generally something working class whites go into en masse.

You will find with newsreaders that they have to speak RP English so that "posh" accent makes the likes of Daljit Dhaliwal look more "coconut" than they probably are in real life.

Dhaliwal married a white man, I don't know if that is indicative?

Anita Rai is interesting in that she seems to have slowly but steadily moved away from her roots to become someone who is another 'angry Sikh bird' these days. The last (very recent) article I read from her didn't really portray her parents too well - the same old implied stereotype of being oppressive and stuff. What's strange is that I saw her with her parents in another program years ago and they seemed to be really cool with each other. I think goray, subtly and purposefully groom or brainwash apneean, once they get them isolated in their social circles (usually via a job) to heighten their sense of oppression and a negative perception of their own people myself?

In my observations for a lot of apneh to get ahead they marry goreh.With Asian women in particular, social status and hypergamy plays a bigger part than with Asian males.

A few of the places I have worked in I have noted that wherever you have Asian senior management in corporate environment(particularly in directorship), they tend to have white partners. People are entitled to marry whoever they want but I guess social circles you mix in has a big part to play.

Anita Rai complaining about her parents us no different from a lot of children who have issues with their parents. I guess a lot of people have love/hate relationship with their parents.

For some reason apneean always seem to be easier to manipulate, but I guess that might be females in general. You notice how marketing/advertising companies do it all the times when they sell products and services.

There are 3-4 turbaned sikhs which are working with various news channels of India, many monay sikh men and sikh women are also with various news channels

Did u c anita rani's "who do u think u are' program few months back? She comes from a potters family (kumhar), who's grandad came out of this whole " hindu raising eldest son sikh". She herself is confused as to wat she is, as her dad is married to a hindu, now she says she doesnt believe in anything, which is her choice of course. Also u mentioned satnam sanghera, u seen this clowns comments on twitter? Hes exactly like sunny hundal, with his thoughts n opinions, esp on topic of sham anand karajs. Duno wat it is with asians (not jus sikhs), in the media, who all seem to love throwing their sharam/background away for jobs as presenters etc.

True tho, the more that sikhs become middle class, the more they chamall and also lose their dharam along the way. Id rather be working class anyday, and thank god i am!

While that doesn't necessarily indicate a coconut, in reality it almost always does.

Ever notice how the majority of 'Sikh' girls who marry outside of the faith either can't speak Punjabi or refuse to speak Punjabi, and know nothing about Sikhi other than the snippets which they twist into arguments to support their manmat marriages? However, and I find this fascinating, the same is not generally true of Sikh men who marry non-Sikh women. It would appear that Sikh girls are at greater risk of becoming coconuts than their brothers. I wonder why this is the case.

That's a good start.

    • 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.
