What's holding Sikhs back?

Same here.  Never even a point of discussion. It's not as if we were a highly sophisticated or educated unit that had transcended our farming roots, lol, but it was always more about trying to adhere to Sikh morals and ethics where caste and other stuff was ignored.

In some ways I wish there had been discussions of these issues when I was growing up, because when I went out into the big bad world by myself, it became patently clear most Sikhs of various backgrounds abide by caste prejudices regardless of where the commonly accepted caste power dynamics are acknowledged to originate. But this forum has educated / corrupted me wonderfully well. I think I'm up to speed on it all now. ?

Why do they do their hair cuts like this ? They look like clowns. "Expert jatt" lol this is culture for these people. And people think this culture is something to be proud of. 

This has made 'Panjabi culture' into a complete low IQ joke now. And it's disturbing because we live in an increasingly unstable world and we need intelligent and prudent direction for the panth right now, not this fantasy world being being projected that has very little correspondence to reality. It's actually delusional and dangerous, and takes a big chunk of the panth into retard territory which has serious long term implications.

My impression is that this obsession with being jatt has gone into overdrive in the last few decades thanks to trashy Punjabi pop culture. Would you guys agree?

It's definitely worse than it has ever been in my life, and way worse than just twenty years ago. People discussed it back then at uni (I remember), but I now realise people from a certain background were routinely lying about their allegiance to this crap.    Now look at what low brow, dead end they've taken the panth to through it. 

It's almost like a devious plan by an enemy of Sikhi come into full fruition. Turn us into dimwits.

An officer was seen showing off his bhangra dance moves with a group of volunteers at a Commonwealth Games warm-up event in footage released by West Midlands Police.

Student officer Gorvinder Chima “got his dancing shoes on” at the event in Perry Barr to the popular bhangra track Mundian To Bach Ke.

They just start doing bhangra anywhere..... whyyyyyyyyyy

Personally, I can't even recollect my parents using the word "jatt" when I was growing up. I always knew we came from a farming background, but they were somehow able to get that across without resorting to "jatt jatt jatt blah blah jatt jatt" like these singers. Ironically, the first time I was exposed to the notion of "jatt" was at the Gurdwara from some bhangra-obsessed "friends."

I think that's a major part of the problem. I never knew caste even existed in the panth until I was a teenager and met some african-jut 'friend' at school who was going on about it (surprise surprise). Then we go through that weird day when you go home and ask your parents or parent: "what caste are we?"  and your whole perception of your community changes from then on.   I know some of my old pals grew up watching their father full on getting plastered on weekends going "main jut aaahhn! juttt!" and acting like an ar5e (especially to their moms). 

Parents pretending like casteism doesn't exist don't help at all either because this thing needs to be robustly countered and challenged, not ignored. People ignoring it as if it is some innocuous thing has helped it spread like a virulent cancer, where it now infects most of the body.  

It's not some small thing either: Outsiders (like anglos) have previously used these dumbos as proxies to infiltrate and control the whole panth. They've completely corrupted all Sikh institutes with their biraderi consciousness over Sikh brotherhood consciousness. 'Sikh politics' is a joke with votes having been bought with alcohol for decades now. Silly habits like excessively exuberant barn dancing, wedding ostentation, alcoholism to has spread to the rest of the jaats as well now.  The mainstream Panjabi 'culture' these people have created and promoted is an embarrassment to any Panjabi with a smattering of intelligence. Maybe worse of all is the economy of Panjab, which is a ticking time bomb with no robustness whatsoever, that directly relates to the large amounts of suicide taking place over there.

    • 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.
