That is probably true. 

Mirpuris are far more clannish. 

Birmingham Pakistani muslim proportion more likely to be Mirpuris. 

London's muslim population is more diverse.

I grew up in Baylis near Ramgarhia gurdwara, now in Langley. Glad we got out. Too congested and dirty near the shops not to mention all the Pakistanis.

The Pakistanis from Faisalabad, a lot of them originally came from Jalandhar before partition. 

Lahore is down the road from Amritsar. 

There is always a difference between people from the plains and people from hilly areas. 

What you would find the Pakistanis from the plains like those from Lahore and Faisalabad (with the exception of the religion) will likely have more in common with Sikhs than Mirpuris. 

So what you might find that although they might do the "Allah hu akbar" and "we are muslim brothers" and call each other "bhaijan" and do all the "islamic unity" their feet gravitate towards Sikhs.

No, don't make that mistake. They are far more similar to Mirpuris than us. They still follow a lot of the same backwards practices.

That's not as bad as Baylis. We used to live just off Stoke Poges Lane, loads of suls there. More apne near Singh Sabha, plus it's near the Khalsa primary school which is very good.

True, unfortunately our people never learn that lesson. There's a reason why those Muslims from Jalandhar are now in Faisalabad and there is a border between Amritsar and Lahore. When the crunch came the Muslims were driven by the greed of Sikh lands and Hindu businesses in order to drive out the Sikh landowners and the Hindu businessmen out of their newly created 'land of the pure'. The Sikhs of the 1940s understood their mentality and if the Sikhs were being driven out of West Punjab then they weren't too squeamish about also driving out the Muslims to make space for their fellow Sikhs to settle in East Punjab.

I don't disagree with what you are saying.

What I mean is that their affinity in a lot of ways is going to be more with Sikhs.

If Sikhs move to an area and establish themselves, it is going to be this particular group of Pakistanis that will follow first. 

It is this group that notices first where Sikhs are moving to.

They watch what we do.

    • 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.
