Are Sikhs addicted to appeasing "others" at their own cost

[Guest Guest Kudi]

It's great to help others but Sikhs continuously backstabbed by those who we help. We should learn from these mistakes.

According to the article, Sikhs have been helping Muslims break their fast during Ramadan in Australia since a decade.

When there was the issue of Kipaan's getting banned in Australia, look what the Muslim leaders did. Islamic leaders had called for an end to a legal loophole which has allowed Sikh children to take 'sharpened daggers' to class.

Oh!!!! They DO have red necks in Canada! I thought it was some multicultural heaven! 

Anyways, it's a good opportunity to put those spoilt brat jut boys to some good use (instead of them killing each other over drug deals). Might make their bull5hit lives actually useful for Sikhi.

I'm sure in 10 years demographics have changed, but Sikhs are very few there, and not sure what would attract Sikhs from other parts of Canada. Indians will be more attracted directly from Punjab because it's 'Canada'

Nova Scotia is a strange place, it's not like other parts of Canada. They are made up of predominantly Irish and Scottish immigrants even their accent is different from other Canadians 

If you want to know what Nova Scotia is sort of like. You should watch Trailer Park Boys. It's like a Fly on the Wall Documentary Comedy. Not very PC but hilarious.

Us Sikhs in our interaction with people of other faiths have "The Nice Guy Syndrome "

Usually, in the above particular example, that surface public image tends to conceal a darker reality. But in our case in recent times we've adopted this demeanour not because we're genuine Nice Guys, but because we're afraid of any future situation where there's trouble for us. It's a pre-emptive "Please don't hit me! Remember that time I did such-and-such for you!" It's cowardice masquerading as virtue. Such cuckery. And this is the Sikh mainstream in the UK at least.

It's pathetic and you get treated with no respect. People just tolerate you and you go through life like a worm. Nobody cares about what you did in the past for them. It's what leverage you have over them now. You're right,not a nice guy,just a pathetic persona for survival purposes. It's also one of the reasons the womenfolk look down on the men who behave like this and look elsewhere as they are biologically wired that way.

How do you suggest Sikhs cultivate their image in the UK/West/remainder of the world?

A lot of people I've interacted with in my life have treated me well because I'm Sikh.

We want to put some of their noses out of joint. We can't have this 'harmless' docile image continuing. Even politically we get ignored because of it. We can't duck facing important issues just because we are condescendingly tolerated whilst we never rock any boat. That's the guaranteed way to slavery.

Do they respect you for your standing and virtues as an individual as well as the historical reputation of the community and identity to which you belong, or is it a combination of pity / being humoured because you're viewed as that harmless little Singh that couldn't do anything even if he wanted to?

You could be a big Singh too, who's docile. Then they're probably thinking "Oh these are the canon fodder we used. Bravo." I remember a few years ago some english twat in the pub saying, "Sikhs were the first to get killed in the wars! Scoff, snigger, scoff!" Then when I replied: "No, they were the first to kill." His sniggering stopped dead in its tracks.

Let them feel/know that things could get 'buckwild' if certain lines are crossed, and see how they'll treat you then. Open your mouth about issues and be opinionated - see how they react then. If they say "oh you helped us in the wars."  Reply: "And you left us to be mass murdered and raped as a thank you. Nice people."

Show them you have an independent mind, and see how they like that.   Of course they'd love docile useful id1ots.
