Do you view Sikh jokes as insidious and carefully engineered way to hurt sikh identity or is it because most people think we look funny ?

Sometimes i wonder why the indians keep forwarding each  other sikh jokes . Most of the times the joke doesn't have the punchline on the sardar. I mean you could replace "sardar" with "gujju" , "haryanvi" , "madrasi" , "american" , "canadian" or anything else and it would still be funny . 

So why only sardar I wonder . 

Well if you can make a future generation of a community hate themselves and their distinct symbols because those symbols make them the target of ridicule, then you have as well done a "soft genocide" on the community. 

It seems to me that there's a malignant agenda behind sikh jokes. or is it because indians think we look funny , not that most of them are good looking anyways .

False ! Panjabis are the best looking ethnic group in India. Panjabis don't look like the stereotypical " Apu " from the simpsons like most Indians do. Panjabis don't go to other states to work as laborer [ they go cross country to Canada ] JK ,  other Indians from slum filled H*LL holes go to Panjab to work as laborers. Panjabis are the tallest and strongest ethnic group in India [ look it up] , it's also not a Surprise, Panjabi language is now famous because Sikhs carried it . You might not like the Panjabi media with the gangster / bad boys songs but because of these guys Panjabi is not only " surviving " , it's thriving. Gone are the days of Daler Mehdi , the clown who made Sikhs look like a bad meme , now Panjabi media is finally competing with Bollywood and getting 40-50 millions views each video. Look at other states where Hindi replaced the original language , Bihar [ most people don't even speak bhojpuri ] , Rajastan , Gujrat , Maharashtra , Orrisa , Jharkhaland , etc etc . Hindi has killed native languages in most States, but not Panjabi. You have to give it up to Panjabi media even if you dislike them , they are carrying Panjabi. Also forgot to mention , the only other language which is featured most in Bollywood beside hindi is Panjabi , most movies take place in a Panjabi setting and most dialog involve Panjabi phrases mixed with hindi. 

 

 

As far as jokes go Hindus are made fun of for worshipping everything , Arabs are called Sand N*****s , Indians generally are made fun of for not having toilets and pooping in streets [ thanks to poor central indians like UP / Bihar etc ] , Afgans are called boy lovers [ cause they dress boys as girls and do horrible things to them , and for being general savages in a dead country ] Chinese are called Gooks / slant eyed / dog eaters / people who eat everything , etc etc . Point is , no point in getting butthurt over santa banta jokes , those aren't even that bad compared to the ones I listed.

Have you been to Punjab recently? There are alot of schools there that teach in Hindi in Punjab.. Its quite odd because I know some families whos children go to those school in Punjab, and their children can't even count in Punjabi. My cousin's family migrated from Punjab to here in the west, and her kid can't read Punjabi but they can read Hindi.. It surprises me. A lot of the shops use Hindi signs rather than Gurmukhi ones. Im pretty sure Delhi was part of the Punjab region as well, and look what its turned into linguistically.

Its all a part of long plan to annihilate sikhs and their language . ! 

Raising a generation of hindufied "sikhs" who can't read gurmukhi or punjabi and thus can't read Sri Guru Granth sahib. 

Its all so systematic but remember God is the best of planners. China is watching . ;) 

In this battle of mahabharat between hindus (kauravs) and sikhs (punj pyare/pandus) , well you know who's gonna win . 

PS : Well you also know our own people are to be blamed. Moving into kanneda , etc leaves biharis and other hindu immigrants to move in and they will obv teach in hindi only !

   In a country where Hindi has engulfed regional languages, Panjabi is the only one surviving and thriving in North India. Gotta give it up to my dravidan bros for not only killing Rajeev " Big Tree " Gande but also for rejecting Hindi as a whole. People from the South just HATE hindi and it's imposition. Yes , there is hindi in Panjab but, that's the fault of Panjabis for not working on their land rather bringing poor hindi migrants from Bihar and UP. You can't control non Punjabi speakers who invade Panjab and dilute real Panjabis , you have to blame Panjabis for having the worst Politicians in the world. What I'm saying is , it's a miracle Panjabi is not just surviving but thriving in this era. Be grateful

You should be hoping for development of the whole country not wars. Panjab will lose a lot if China / Pak invade, remember everything is fair in war , so chinese soldiers would not think twice about leveling Golden Temple into dust and then posing for photos. Unless you're hoping everything around Panjab is destroyed and somehow Panjab isn't touched. In 2050, India will have a bigger economy than USA, so in the mean time, since you live in Panjab, convince the SGPC to create missionaries to convert North India, so Sikhs can take over from the inside out. 

by my thinking nothing can be done . What will happen, will happen , but law of karma states that the longer the duration between sin and its punishment, the greater the punishment. 

India has suffered in the past as well for 1000 yrs by invaders. that too must be a paycheck of some karmic sin right ??

PS : since i stay here , i am not wishing for a war on india or something . I was just saying lol

I don't look funny, smelly, or like an under-nourished manlet. That's probably a currycel Indian thing for urban Delhi and Mumbai dwellers. I'm Punjabi. My gene game from a wider ethnic and familial genetic perspective is strong. Make a Sikh joke at my expense, and I'll plant one on your nasaa. ?

agreed but don't you think such overt "holier than thou" is problematic for sikhs in the long run . We tend to view other indians as lower than us, well atleast thats what the vibe is . Such sentiments are also prevalent in hindu jats who have big built (6 ft tall, wide chest, etc) , but in general i guess males with a better build have such sentiments .

People not fortunate enough to be born with such genes or nutrition  obviously can sense the supremacy in our words , our attitudes and they're much more in numbers than us . Its not good for us .

    • lol dal panth Panj told me explicitly not to associate with Vadhbhag Singh Sodhi followers!
    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
