UNITED SIKHS WORK ON URGENT TIMETABLE TO SAVE AFGHAN SIKHS


Recommended Posts

You obviously have difficulty understanding the point of those who are criticising these organisations. The issue people have with these organisations like KA and US is that they are wasting huge amount of money replicating work that is already done by larger and more resource rich charities. 

KA went out to set up pretty pointless langars for Rohingyas costing some tens of thousands of pounds while larger charities and govts were donating and spending millions of pounds. The Rohingyas weren't exacting starving to death as they were in a Muslim country with a stable govt and which could easily supply food to these refugees. But KA wants publicity so they can put a few pictures on facebook and promote Ravi Singh. United Sikhs also might do work with Sikh issues but that is probably 10% at best, so do you want us to start praising these charities for expending 90% of their donations on non-Sikh issues replicating the work of larger charities just because they spend a pittance on Sikhs?

Point is, no one is against doing charitable work for non Sikhs. Even puratan Sikhs did that. But problem is when you give 90% of your resources to non Sikhs and only 10% to Sikhs. That is sheer madness and utter moorkhta. 

 

It should be the other way around. 80%-90% should be going to uplifting gareeb and mazloom Sikhs and 10-20% should be going to non Sikhs and even animals and the environment.

 

I dont like to talk about my own daswand but for making a point I am mentioning it here now. I take out 10% of my net income for daswand. This Daswand I spend mostly on poor Amritdhari families in India and also for Parchar activities.

 

I give daan too but is separate from daswandh

 

"Gareeb da muh Guru di golakh" has also been misunderstood by our secular minded Sikhs. Gareeb here means Guru Ghar de Gareeb i.e. Gareeb Gursikhs.

I agree with that. My point is we need to focus on a charity, already prioritizing funds from the center out, or make one. 

Beyond that I think we need to reform Jathas outside the SGPC that focus on local health and strength of Sikhs and Sikhia and be so abundant about it we can also help others locally or send resources directly to validated Jathas in areas hit by disaster without need of a charitable organization. 

I agree Gurudwaras need armed guards. 

So let's do it. Not do Nindia of Sikhs already doing something. 

Let's get old school. Let's get timeless. Let's uncolonify the Panth. Let's get real representation and self determination.
