Why doesnt Mr Hundal discuss sikh parents and their depression when their son/daughter marries a non sikh?

[mrggg123]

Why does no one raise this issue? Are parents really happy that their kids do this? Why dont they stop them? What happened to arrange marriages?

You raise any interesting question, the answer is that parents view their children as an investment and want it to grow. Also the Desi arranged marriage system has since left Gurmat with dowry and add to that Sikhs are aborting way too much females, means not that many Kaurs available for future Singhs wanting to get married. This is a really complicated issue to say the least, it goes on the emotional side as well.

No Sikh/Punjabi parent is ever happy that their treacherous, selfish offspring do these mixed marriages but they have no choice. They are bullied and emotionally blackmailed......they know that these bigoted liberals are so intolerant that they will not stop until they force their views on their parents.

In effect what happens is that the parents are forcibly converted to this way of thinking. The reason they want an anand karaj is to regain some respect and legitimise this shameful alliance.

You are spot on. I've seen many a parent bullied into doing it. I've seen parents frightened of their offspring. 

Never ever let your children scare you. Once they do its game over

He would not discuss this as it goes against his middle class liberal programme.

No one ever raises the issue because we are too busy chasing the moral high ground, until you have children and raise them you don't know what it's like, it's easy sitting on the fence and passing judgement but until you go through it as a parent you don't know jack, I doubt any parent who has a moderate belief in Sikhism (or any other religion) would want to see their child marry someone from a different religion but sometime's parent's are forced to make a choice, either loose their child or un-willingly accept their child's choice, like i said, until you go through it you have no idea what happens to parent's involved.

He won't discuss it because he wouldn't get any free publicity out of it, that, and he may have to actually go out and speak to people and write an article based on fact instead of hot air the way he usually does.

more like he is the selfish offspring himself (marrying to a catholic in church) so it would cause him to thin of his own karams and their impact on his folks

He is not a journalist, he is a blogger. He does not have a journalist's credentials.

He married some girl in California sometime last year. He's spending a lot of time in the U.S. He's probably looking to get a green card.

Also, during new years eve, he was tweeting and drinking quite heavily whilst his newly wed wife was holidaying in Mexico.

I imagine he is being cuckolded.

He's not even a blogger anymore, that all ended when he went head to head with a journalist from The Spectator and had to issue a public apology.

He has a habit of getting drunk off his face every New Year's Eve and posting on Twitter, i know people who follow him on Twitter just to see his New Year's Eve antics and seeing what he post's, it's almost a tradition in some circles, whatever floats you boat really, anyway, life's too short to be obsessing over people like Hundal, if ever there was an example of chalk and cheese it's him and his brother.

Oh, just to be clear, to be "cuckolded" he would have had to be present, just saying....
