How come Sikh tycoons can find 500 million to fund Gurudwarae but cannot find funds to help the poor in Punjab or help the Shaheedi families or help with parchaar. 

We don't have a money problem in our community it seems, we just allocate those resources in an extremely inefficient manner.

I think they know they will get more publicity and look better (to whomever they are trying to impress?) if they do this over helping poor Sikhs. 

thts all it is - competition wiv each otha cuz itll show the whole community how much wealth n help their status later...

why be a gd sikh n help ur poor bros, sis, uncles, aunties etc for lil reward wen u can jus be one in name only (which means nothin) n make urself look like a benevolent king by donating 'out of kindness' before recoupin some if not most or all of it in due time (media attention, pompous dinners, arrogant speeches, greater appeal, more business etc.)

may all their money keep all of em unhappy n burnin from the inside...

I got a close relative who is (now) VERY rich (he grew up poverty stricken). 

He does the same. Gives donations to x, y and z group but seems totally oblivious to other members of the family who are poor and really struggling. 

The donations these people give are strategic image enhancers - no genuine heart is involved

How comes they were approached by pak govt, why should we invest so heavily to benefit their tourism industry. After all, they still haven't prevented squatters or vandalism and theft from any of our sites. Renovation is what ,white marble monstrosities after removal of original bricks and features?

Exactly. Destroy the centuries old buildings that sangat has been having darshan of.

Spend money and funnel $$$ to Pakistani stone dealers and contractors.

In the end for it to be taken over by the Muslim neighbors of the Gurdwara.

Brilliant how apne think.

Exactly. No one cares for the downtrodden Sikhs in India.

It's a win-win for the Pak Govt because Sikhs will be spending the money and boost their economy without Pak Govt having to spend a penny themselves. 

How much money would it take to get all the remaining Sikhs out of Afghanistan? 

How much money would it take to take to build houses for the homeless Shaheedi families?

There are so many things that could be done.

It would be a fraction of the money and it would provide a far better return in the years to come.

    • 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.
