The higher caste Punjabi Hindus, the Bahmans, Khatri/Arora and the Bania has always been anti-Sikh and anti-Punjab to the core. Our leadership has failed to recognise that the Punjabi Hindu is deeply split even more so than our people. The Badal Akalis in 1997 by aligning themselves with the BJP which is the party of higher caste Hindu interests gave this section of the Punjabi Hindus a taste of power in Punjab which after 1966 they had never had. Simranjit Singh Mann's Akali Dal had supported the BSP and Kanshi Ram. Now the Badal Akalis after leaving the BJP have aligned with the BSP so it will interesting to see if the BSP made any gains from it. If you read the names of the Hindus who spread the most anti-Sikh vitriol, it will always be a Sharma, Verma, Bhardwaj  etc - all Bahman surnames. 

The problem with our Panthic leadership is that they have never aligned with a section of the Punjabi Hindus with whom we have common interests. The Hindu Dalits and the Hindu agricultural castes. Together these form over 15% of the population of Punjab. The attack of the RW Hindus have been to divide Sikhs by using their narrative that Jat Sikhs have been killing and raping Dalits with impunity in Punjab so as to divide our people.  Even some of our muppets with an agenda also latch on this and have been spreading this BS online. The area where the Hindu Dalits have dominance in Doaba is the place where Dalits are in direct competition with the urban Hindu and not the rural Sikh. These Dalits don't consider themselves Hindus and are anti-Hindutva. They should be our natural allies. We should go back to our anti-Manuvadi origins. 

Here is the typical Punjabi Hindu upper caste trying to demonise the Sikh majority to the rest of India.

Sweet. Let's leave him like that. Kick him in his fat gut. Namaste.

I think 95% of our problems stem from grossly inadequate economic planning and will, and promoting casteism over anything of substance.

I've said previously, all developed nations have dedicated departments that strategically plan to develop and expand their economy and try to anticipate and dodge potential problems in this dept. - our lot don't. It seems to be a deeply embedded culture of conservatism and endemic corruption.

So no prospects for people, and they just mostly try and run off to a foreign country. Meanwhile the state stays in exactly the same position.     

The main issue is how people think, and thus act. Panjab has had so much going for it, but the above is turning the place into a backwater basket case. Meanwhile places down south are rapidly developing despite not having the advantages or head start Panjabis did.

I was on Twitter yesterday where a women was talking about how punjab has been suppressed economically. They dont let us send our produce through our borders but thinge can come and go through Gujarat to pakistan and afghanistan. How is this not all a planning to suppress us economically? We are no saints but they have done everything to suppress us economically.

No one is disputing this. Even the diversion of waters is a big factor. Still that doesn't take away from Panjabis needing to develop a robust, diverse economy, part of which is to subvert these very schemes against us. No one will do this for us. 

But also, I think too many apnay have this learned helplessness mentality and seem to think external governments (like Delhi) are responsible for securing their future.  If we are getting screwed over from external sources like you are mentioning, how does our own going dog eat dog against each other help. That just makes the issue worse. An example typical apna dumbness in this respect is going all in on caste fissures (as clearly demonstratable through 'Panjabi' music and movie industry) whilst they should be fostering unity and giving people a fair and equal stake in the future.

When under external attack most quoms pull together and try and resist, but hordes of our lot are easily and cheaply 'buyable' and play a part in the machinations against us. We see this globally. Plus it does look like we've become dumbed down and unimaginative back home. They lack creativity and thinking outside of the box skills. 

Those attacks between communities are a socio-political norm. That's what you have to remember.  I'm worried about our lot lazily putting all blame externally, and not facing up to their own shortcomings and how they contribute to the situation, in order to resolve this and come with robust, tactical plans to subvert those inimical to us. They don't even seem to be able to recognise an enemy from a friend right now.

    • Part of the problem is the hostilities between India and Pakistan. If the border were open, Amritsar would easily become a huge trading city. Secondly, the National Highways Authority of India is constructing a new 6-lane expressway from Kashmir, through Amritsar/Jalandhar/Ludhiana to Dehli which will be part of the Ludhiana-Delhi-Kolkatta Industrial Corridor.  Maps of the New Silk Road show Kolkata as a key part of the "road". The Punjab to Kolkata expressway and rail connections will fulfill the ability to hook up to the New Silk Road.  In addition, while crossing to Pakistan via AH1 (Asian Highway 1) is difficult, India does connect to AH1 on the other side, towards the East. Finally, Punjab can trade with the world via Mundra port in Gujurat. Rail to Mundra, then sea onwards. Dubai is very close with a free port. If you send products to Iran, there are ground links onward to Europe.
    • Yeah, that's one possibility. Another I initially thought is that it's a Muslim trying to gather info. But then, you might ask, how does he know about Sikh textual sources. Well, you'd be surprised at their resourcefulness. A final possibility is he's a weak Sikh who was asked a question by a non-Sikh and now he's suddenly feverishly wondering where it's "written" that you can't marry a young child. To the latter, I would say, you're looking in the wrong spot. Gurbani isn't a 1428 page rulebook, like Leviticus or the Vedas: ਸਿਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਸਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਪੁੰਨ ਪਾਪ ਬੀਚਾਰਦੇ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਬਾਝਹੁ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ The Simritis and Shastras discriminate between charity and sin, but know not the essence of the Real Thing. Without the Guru, they know not the essence of the Reality, know not the essence of the Reality. Anand Sahib.
    • You're confusing two different things: One is merely adding starch to a turban to get a certain feel to the fabric. The other is tying your turban once and taking it off like a hat. It is this that people have a problem with. What's wrong with it is that Rehit says to tie your turban afresh every time. If you ask, "Where is that written?", it's written in Bhai Nand Lal ji's Rehitnama. @ipledgeblue didn't just make it up. Umm, no, bro. We're not evangelical Christians like President George W Bush of the US claiming to "talk to God" who told him to invade Iraq. "Speaking to him directly" basically ends up being doing whatever you feel like with the excuse that Guru ji told you to do it. If you still want to take your turban off like a hat, feel free to do so, but don't claim that it's Rehit.
    • You don't need to wear either a pag or dumalla in the gym. You can simply wear a meter or 1.5m small turban (gol pagg or round turban). It doesn't come off.
    • The reason you don't see anything wrong with it is because like a fish in water, you grew up in Western culture and imbibed it fully. It's very difficult to for parents to inculcate traditional culture while in the West. The reason there is a problem is because a kiss between a man and wife is a sexual act (I didn't say it's coitus, but it's still sexual.) By contrast a kiss between a mother and a child, for example, is not sexual. And in our culture, sexual acts are not allowed in public. Goras do allow it. And that's also the reason they have gay pride parades now with people walking around naked with children in attendance and so forth.
