Sikh Children Are The Tallest

The findings of a very interesting study were published in the BMJ (British Medical Journal) in 1994. The study compared the heights and weights of white British children, black afr0-carribean children, Pakistani Muslim children, Bangladeshi Muslim children, Hindu children and Sikh children. The heights and weights of each were recorded at birth, year 1, year 2 and year 5. In terms of weights, although white children were heaviest at birth it was Sikh infants who had the most spectacular gain in body weight. The Hindu children had by far the worst gain. By the ge of 5 the Sikh children were the heaviest of all the groups and the Hindus the lightest.

But...the really interesting feature of this study is the height of Sikh children. At every stage of the study, the Sikh children (boys and girls) were easily the tallest of all, Taller than the white, black, Muslim and Hindu children. At every stage of the study the Hindus were the smallest of all. The study found that Sikh children were so much taller than all the others at the age of 5 that Sikh boys were a full 3cms taller than the second tallest group (white Europeans) and the Sikh girls were 1.5 cms taller than white European girls. At every stage of the study, the Hindus were the shortest.

Very interesting stuff.

The BMJ fella. The single most respected medical journal on planet earth.

I seriously hope they know that religion has nothing to do with birth, (if it's so respected as you say it how come I've never heard of it?) They ask really ridiculous questions which have nothing to do with health. (Religion and Health are completely separate).

What....seriously ? :blink2: And you're from the UK ?

Well...I don't know where to start. Lets start with the basics. You know how there's a professional regulatory body for anyone that wants to practice as a doctor in the UK, i.e one cannot practice medicine unless one is accepted and registered as a member of the BMA (British Medical Association) ? Well, the BMJ (British Medical Journal) is their own journal (published by the BMA) and is the oldest medical journal in the world...with an influential readership of doctors around the globe. However I'm very sorry but I cannot explain how you could have reached adulthood in the UK without ever having heard of the BMJ.

'Religion' is manifested in race and culture. For example, a Hindu from Punjab does not have the same culture of drinking copious amounts of milk as the Sikh from Punjab. The Hindu and Muslim Punjabi eats just a tiny proportion of the amount of spinach the Sikh from Punjab eats.....The Muslim Punjabi child is given meat in every meal, regardless of the harmfull anti-biotics contained in that processed meet whilst the Sikh child is given vegetable after vegetable after vegetable etc etc etc. I could go on with this but I think you're getting the idea now arn't you ?

My commiserations.

Anyway, now that I've explained how the BMJ is the oldest medical journal in the world and it is published by the UK's Regulatory Body for doctors I think we can all agree that we're talking about a properly researched article from a reputable journal so lets concentrate on the substance of the findings rather than the cover of the pages they appear in.

True but 99 percent of sikhs r punjabi and i think 100 percent in uk

There are obviously non-punjabi Sikhs. Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji was sent to the world from Patna. What about Vanjaria Sikhs? Or the fact that the Jathedar of Hazur Sahib can't ever leave the city of Nanded?

    • 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.
