This is disturbing

Personal life[edit]

Afzal has been married three times, which he describes humorously as "multifaith engagement": "First to an Irish Catholic, then to an Indian Hindu and then to a British Sikh." He has one daughter and three sons and is a practising Muslim.[3]

wow no idea...lmaooo

Ravi Singh doing what he does best, brown nosing to the religion of 'peace'. He is just a brain dead liberal using Sikhi to further his liberal cause and help the liberal's allies, the Muslay. You would think that someone who tries to base his 'humanitarian' work on one misinterpreted verse of Guru Gobind Singh would at least understand that no non-Sikh ritual is allowed in a  Gurdwara especially when the ritual (namaz) involves the Muslim claiming that he is following Allah and those who do not are misguided! Imagine that, a Muslim being allowed to to proclaim that Sikhs are misguided in a Gurdwara!

Never thought I'd see the day when our religion would turn into an Ek Niwas-type enterprise. The writing was always on the wall, tbf. Lots of mixed messages that were very poorly contextualised and defined by the religious hierarchy, almost as if they were unaware of how to reconcile the apparently "competing" strands of the faith. Now, we've allowed the religion in the West to be swept up in the general leftist dogma of the age.

As I say on some occasions to those of us lamenting the way things are going, "Balait jaana si? Lailo mazze Balait de." ?

First ever report shows 70% of respondents have suffered at the hands of a partner or members of their extended family.

The report is available on their website-;

Compressed-Web.cdr (sikhwomensaid.org.uk)

 

They distributed the questionnaires through social media so any Tom, <banned word filter activated> and Harry could have filled it in to malign our community. They 674 responses of which 35% stated they experienced child sexual abuse. So that's 674 respondents from a community of at least 400,000 Sikhs. This isn't even sampled because it is anonymous. So anyone even non-Sikhs could easily fill out these questionnaires especially since we know some communities have malevolent intentions. 

Also who would respond to these type of questionnaires? Surely only those who had experienced something would want to respond, I mean if I came across such a questionnaire having not been a victim I wouldn't even think of responding. So this is automatically slanted towards a majority of those who would respond to this questionnaire being those who have suffered abuse. Look at how the BBC reported this release of the findings

'Rampant' violence against Sikh women highlighted in report - BBC News

Note the use of the word rampant - as if it is happening in almost every Sikh family! That's 470 respondents saying they suffered domestic abuse out of 674 total respondents is a survey heavily weighted towards being responded to by those who suffer domestic abuse anyway! 

It's like me sending out a questionnaire asking the question- Do you hate Jats? and as Daily and CaliforniaSardar responded yes, I then write a whole report stating Jat hatred 'rampant' among Sikhs! 

It is quite interesting that the authors of this report try and present the Sikhphobic play Behzati which was universally derided and ridiculed to Sikhs as an attempt to highlight rape and abuse in the Sikh community!! You can understand the intentions of the authors from their ridiculous mischaracterisation of the intent of the play. 

A few years ago some liberals bhekhis were playing the drum of SIKH EXTREMISM IN THE UK, trying to get the govt to allocate funds to their organisations to 'counter' the Sikh extremism that was really only in their heads. Our liberal bandars can see how the Muslim liberals have been getting funds for the prevent program and they also want a share of the pie. They can't get any decent jobs with their gender studies degrees so they have to create organisations which scream from the rooftops about an issue so that the govt takes notice and they get funding.

    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
