What has that got to do with anything?

Well paag or no paag you represent Sikhia every time you post here, and nindya and racist pommie overlord thinking isn't gurmat. 

That photo isn't some disgusting display ...it's a photo...with one dude who has white framed glasses....

I find your conduct much more ignorant and offensive. I'd suggest looking at the mote in your own eye brother and not starting garbage threads. 

So you wear a paag or no?

You smell like white supremacy to me bro.  You rss?

So, generally speaking, (and this doesn't negate the good they do) it's an organisation that's subtly rebranded and commercialised the Sikh "message" in a globalist, progressive-friendly manner for... what purpose exactly? Reading between the lines, it seems to be another vehicle for trustees to extract funding and cultivate influential links and relationships for the purposes of external corporate and business interests.

Now your not making any sence at all. I suggest you read more knowledge and come back to me when you have reached enlightenment.

Yes, mukti is a pre requisite for calling you out for behavior that is beneath you. You know you have far more to offer the Sangat than point and laugh threads. And bro you don't want weight of making fun of Khalsa on your shoulders. 

You started this thread, asked if anyone knew about them and then jumped instantly on the first negative and informationless post to reverb in your echo chamber, suddenly revealing you'd met them before and didn't get your ego validated or something. 

[GurjantGnostic]

You want to say they're some how hurting the Paanth?

You're demonstrating, encouraging, normalizing making fun of the Guru's Roop bro.  Are there Keshdari Singh in that photo, Amritdhari Singh?  Exactly what is so offensive. 

The Guru's Roop alone isn't enough to instill respect in you?  

What about the Sahejdhari and Mona?  We showing the world to laugh at them?

They need your permission to walk according to Hukam?

From what I remember they are a very London-centric work in the city type of group, every time one of them pipe's up on twitter they don't seem to get a lot of love from the general Sikh diaspora especially Param Singh (the fella with the white-framed glasses, you may remember him from a few years ago when he made an absolute <banned word filter activated> of himself on an ITV dating show).

They do come across as self-serving in the kind of stuff they do though.

It's easy to fall into the trap of cynicism when it comes to these types of organisations and personalities. Deep down, for those of us who've been round the block, we know exactly what drives these people and what the type of people they are behind the scenes, but if some small good can come from whatever it is they do, then I think it's a good thing. I'm probably being a lot kinder than I should, lol.
