not sure if it happens in other areas but in doaba you get moneh laughing at singhs  like openly saying jokes  im from nawanshar and they do that there.  thats how low sikhi has fallen there    they sarcastically call you baba ji and start laughing.   i was gnna go to this local jaggah with my cousin and his 2 chamar friends hopped on to go with us  my couins keeps his hair  and those 2 guys started laughing and cracking jokes about my cousins gutti   he then called them saleh musalman       i was just shocked tbh 

but iv noticed this a lot over there.

I heard some keshdhari mates saying the same about younguns in Canada but that was twenty years ago. Maybe things have changed there since?

Not sure about Malwa. A lot of the parents generation has kesh/dastaar but they still do 'sardar' things like whiskey. Their kids are mona though. I don't think anyone would mock kesh like that myself. Naah, that wouldn't happen as far as I can tell. I've never heard this.

Okay, that makes sense. I think that I take Sikh hegemony for granted given where my family originate from. I think partition also bolstered Sikh numbers in Malwa. A lot of people seem to have come from across the border there too - especially Lahore. Plus them Lahore lot are quite intellectual, so that helps too.

lol  see it makes sense y sikhi is dead/dying in doaba     and the people who ticked the sikh box     from them only a minority are amritdhari/kesdhari     

seeing a young singh is actually not common at all in nawanshahr/doaba

    • 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.
