Yes that's a new generation thing. It's funny because I've heard the Canadian apnay have retained their language to a high extent. Bengalis all seem to know their language pretty well. 

this is true @jkvlondon but coconutting isn't really that bad? Are you saying, that the goreh way of doing things is not as spiritual?

given that the current gora way is to denigrate any form of faith, normative hetrosexual behaviour, marriage/commitment  then yes it is not spiritual  but cultural marxism where you end up with people of colour self-loathing  to such an extent that they look in the mirror and deny reality but claim and think they are white:

 

 

I've experienced it in my family members

I don't think its fair to say this hetero behaviour is from goreh

You can tell muslay from the way they try and speak Panjabi too. It's usually way off from how Sikhs speak it. Yes, some can speak Panjabi a little bit like us, but how they are taught to give proper Arabic pronunciation to certain words from that quarter gives them away. 

I honestly can't help but think that an apna that can't tell a sullah from a Sikh is probably 'special needs' if you know what I mean. 

It's not always easy to tell the difference tbh. When they speak then you can obviously tell the difference. But by looking it can be hard sometimes. 

I hated being mistaken for a paki all the time, in fact that was the main reason why I stopped cutting my hair. It seriously really started p!ssing me off.

Are you missing my point? There is nothing wrong with retaining your own heritage and making serious endeavours to do this. Preservation of what is good within your own heritage is not mutually exclusive to learning things from other cultures. Like I like trying to develop my Gurmukhi skills, but I also like developing my English language skills because it helps me access other forms of information that can be useful - like reading Charles Dickens. 

When you look at DG, it also demonstrates a clear intention to retain ones faith, whilst also broadening intellectual horizons by looking at other literature/texts/languages. 

I would say that everyday gora culture, as I've experienced it in ENgland, doesn't place much value on spiritual matters. The culture is more tied to hedonistic beliefs, which themselves are often tied to consumerism - which itself is closely tied to the economic strategies being employed here. I think underlying these things is also Darwinian theories of survival of the fittest.

    • Anyone linking the "kenyan" style turban to Ramgarhia caste is stupid lol. It came from the Jat-only Sikh Regiment in British India (folded, starched single dastar without a pinch). It's called "kenyan style" as Kenya is where it's most popular today and has a lot of Tarkhan living there but it's originally from Jatts in India. Dastar actually opposes caste as a concept anyway so it really doesn't matter.
    • you can use nrimb.com this matrimonial site is very helpful to find Sikhs and other matches for marriage in Canada.
    • Is there a need to insult someone's Dastar style? Feel some shame When you see a Sikh wearing a Dastar you should smile and think "that's my brother" ,not laugh at how he chose to tie his Pagh. Maharaj made a brotherhood in the Khalsa not a fashion contest.
    • Respectfully, this isn't a good idea bro. This is a Sikh forum so it's best not to be distracted with other topics. Most people who visit this site don't have accounts and have questions about Sikhi so we do seva here by educating the Jaante as well. Maybe create a subreddit on Reddit for "casual Sikhs" over there. It would be better as you could link that with r/sikh. And also there are like 4 people still on this site so you won't get much response. It's really inactive here most people use reddit now
    • Sikhs can sleep nanga-sirr if they choose to . 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
