Why aren't British Sikhs as active/engaged as their Canadian counterparts in politics?

[TejS]

As the question in the title states, what's the reason?

Considering that both countries have roughly the same population (Canada does have a slight edge on the UK), why aren't we seeing as many Sikh politicians in the UK as we do in Canada?

[Ranjeet01]

There are plenty of Sikhs involved in local politics, we just not had as many Sikh politicians at national or cabinet level.

Because Teresa May and her retards are under the control of USA

Where's Canada realizes the hard work Sikhs have done whereas the UK GOVERNMENT Has always stabbed Sikhs in the back

This is true. Also, I would advise the diaspora living in the UK to immigrate to Canada (better to have a stronghold in one area than be dispersed everywhere), although I know this is highly improbable but more Sikhs coming into Canada will only increase our political influence there.

Jagsaw Singh might explain this sad state of affairs.It would be interesting to see his take on this issue.

In essence, Sikhs in Canada are, at the moment, arguably the dominant minority group in terms of visibility and representation, so obviously they have, over the course of generations, ascended their host society's political and general social apparatus. This is what ultimately leads to power for whichever migrant demographic takes the initiative. Now it's Sikhs, in the distant future it will be another group, most obviously Muslims due to their numbers.

In the UK we are one of many colonially-descended immigrant groups (Jamaican-origin blacks, Pakistanis, Hindus, etc) vying for the scarce scraps that the British ruling classes deem appropriate to scatter for its migrant populations to battle amongst themselves. 

Muslims are being enabled into power across Europe in an attempt to normalise the idea of Muslim power in white lands through a combination of long-standing yet ever-burgeoning climate of political correctness and Marxist-influenced establishments (such as the media) smoothing the way for, as I said, normalising the idea that the default norm should include considerable Islamic representation. Is this rooted in something sinister, or is it merely suicidal albeit naive benevolence on the part of European whites? I'm genuinely undecided at the moment.

This should be a grave concern for Sikhs in the UK. One only has to glance at the political and social landscape to realise how far we've fallen behind in so many vital fields. We are on the verge of becoming a subordinate minority to the dominant minority group which incidentally also has the fortune of being supported by the white establishment in many overt and less than overt ways. This is all due to our complacency and -- here it comes again -- our lack of foresight and inability to peer years and decades into the future.

Once the descendants of the colonial era Pakistanis are joined by the 2nd and 3rd generation Syrians, Iraqis, Somalians, etc., who flocked to the UK as refugees and migrants over the course of the past 15 or so years, where do you people think this will leave everyone else? Is it sinking in now?

No I don't think that Canadian Muslims will be the dominant minority in Canada. Because unlike UK where Pakistanis are largest ethnic group of Muslim minority, Canadian Muslims are divided into various ethnicities Pakistanis, Lebanese, Iranians, Somalian etc and as if these divisions were not enough they are also divided into different sects Sunnis, Shias,Wahabbis , Ahmadis and Ismailis. No single Muslim sect or ethnic group dominates Canadian Muslims. Which is why Canadian Muslims will never replace Sikh minority which is United by single language and single region punjab. This is why half a million Canadian Sikhs have far more MLA's, MP's and federal ministries than a million Canadian Muslims. If my memory serves me right Even in Ontario where Muslims outnumber Sikhs. The Sikhs have more MLA's in Ontario legislative assembly than Muslim community.

I would think furthering the collective interests of Muslims in a foreign land would call a temporary truce to these caste / country / faith-based squabbles and differences. You don't think so? Interesting. I think when something coveted and previously unthinkable like dominance and power is in reach, a cessation of hostilities is an essential strategy. Nobody's suggesting they should intermarry, lol, but your lot would be crazy not to join hands in order to secure hegemony. Then you can fight it out amongst yourselves for complete dominance, lol.

Apart from Pakistani and Indian Muslims other Muslim ethnic groups are fairly liberal. Unless something extraordinary happens i.e white nationalists start giving them hard time there is little chance of them getting together to achieve political dominance that too at the expense of Sikh community. Apart from Punjabi Muslims no other Muslim ethnic group has any beef with Sikhs.
