Prohibitions In Sikhism

Recently seeing this: "It is estimated that 4 out of 10 men are addicted to some or other drug and that up to 50% of those are young farmers. While 15% of those are addicted to poppy husk (known as bhukki), 20% are addicted to synthetic drugs churned out by pharma companies in neighbouring Himachal Pradesh." You can tell that the drug problem is a Hindu Punjabi thing instead of a Sikh Punjabi thing. According to Wikipedia about 40% are Non-Sikhs in Punjab, India: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Punjab,_India it's easy to tell that the 40% will take more drugs than everyone else,(the same 40% that are Non-Sikhs).

Any discussion or just posting links to other's opinions?

The article says 40% of Punjab is addicted to drugs, the same 40% that happens to practice other faiths than Sikhi; it's not that big of a discussion, (non-Sikhs will take Drugs).

That in my opinion would just be another SGPC-esque deflection, because I'd be willing to bet the drug usage rates amongst Sikh background folks and Hindus is relatively the same. Unless of course there is a legit source for the claim on Wiki.

    • The printer is C J Amritsar… They have given a mobile number for India …
    • I purchased my Gutka Sahib from the bookshop adjacent to Gurdwara Dukh Niwaran Sahib Patiala… You could try the UK Gurdwara shops, or other UK Gurbani stores…
    • @ipledgeblue starched turbans are fine. Gurus also gave strict orders never to criticise or belittle a dastaar (of any style).   If somebody prefers a solid pagg, which doesn’t move or lose shape, then this is fine. It’s better to have a starched turban that you feel comfortable in than one that you tie that makes you feel bad. For example, ppl I know tend to get quite frustrated if they can’t get their pagg right before a function, which makes them angry. Having a starched pagg is easier for them and saves them the stress, makes them nicer ppl in general 
    • @JassuObviously, it’s not rlly your business so don’t worry, but I’ll educate you. Someone who is 50% Rajput and 50% jatt is called “Rajput Jatt”. And btw, nobody is saying that one caste is better than the other, I’m just clarifying that Tarkhans aren’t the only ones who starch paggs (and that it happens on the Indian style as well as the Kenyan, maybe js not as commonly). Stop worrying about nuances and stick on topic or just don’t say anything.
