Shocking videos show huge crowds stampeding into a music event in Southall as screams can be heard. Norwood Green Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha has issued a damning condemnation of what it describes as "alcohol fuelled violence and public urination" witnessed on Sunday afternoon (May 1) at Southall Park where the music, arts and cultural fair The Famous Punjabi Mela was being held. Videos circulating online show hundreds of people crowding outside the fenced off event, which charged £10 for entry.

The videos then go on to show men climbing over the fence and women can be heard screaming before those manning the gates were forced to let the crowd pour in. Parents with pushchairs and young children were among those pouring into the event being held in Norwood Green which is a traditional Indian celebration.

In a statement Sri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara said: "We are shocked by the scenes in Norwood Green this evening. Alcohol fuelled violence, public urinating, smoking on Gurdwara owned property. The event was not organised by the Gurdwara. It was held on fields owned by Ealing Council."

This bit seems contradictory??

I think a lot of the images and videos posted in this thread shine direct light onto what we (Panjabis) really are like as a people, burning through any self-conceited delusions we have of ourselves as an especially dharmic people.  

We look like a bunch of mischievous pendus out to have a 'bruin' good time. lol 

We can blame RSS, hindutva, white supremacism, congress all we want, but a large part of that just looks like attempts to not squarely face how our own proclivities play a big part in our current situation. We are quite a childlike people it seems?
