Yorkshire Sikh Forum dinner launches Platinum Jubilee celebrations

Simmy, CEO of the Sekhon Group, said: “The dinner was a great success, much enjoyed by all our dignitaries, and we realised how important it was to have this event as a reminder of modern day, multi-cultural Britain.

“The day was so joyous.”

“But I must also make a special mention on behalf of Ray Brown of the Sekhon Group and Rehana Akbar and Peter Davis of Oikos Family Residential Centres, who were instrumental in the planning and organising of the dinner, which they did in such a short space of time.”

Would Yorkshire 'Panjabi' or 'Bhangra' Forum have been a better name...?!

Man in the first photo seems to be doing some bhangra move ?

Can't stand the Royal Family. Make my skin crawl. 

Controversially - just my opinion - but the white right-wing have been hoodwinked into accepting the Royals and figures like Churchill, and general World War II triumphalism as inalienable aspects of their identity. These three aspects and other similar factors are designed to trap them and to stop them from identifying a path that will lead to a solution to their problems. It's very effective brainwashing.

The path that 1933 Germany took?

I wouldn't go that far, lol. I'm referring to the patriotic English being almost compelled to defend and justify these institutions because they've been convinced they're non-negotiable cornerstones of their identity. If they were a little more brave and radical, the English would do well to jettison these actually traitorous institutions who've selfishly sold them out for their own desire to exist and feed off them. By the time the penny will drop for the English, it'll be too late. If you watch something like GB News in the UK, it exemplifies the saying, "He gives with one hand, and with the other he taketh away" lol. It seems "legit" from a native right-wing perspective, but it's actually perpetuating the tropes and narratives that are the required counterbalance to their ideological opposition in order to maintain the desired paradigm. I think it's referred to as "controlled opposition."

A rather spicy hot-take but one with merit.

The British inculcated structure and organisation; some would suggest to the detriment of groups they considered non-essential to their plans to rule. 

The lines between what passed as Sikhi and Punjabi Hinduism prior to the British may as well not even have existed. There was a hell of a lot of crossover to the point where the ground reality was a laissez-faire adherence to Sikhi if I'm being generous. Those who lament a puritan Sikhi do so not because of a genuine dardh for a lost civilisation or way of life, but because what emerged under the British -- and the later Singh Sabha efforts to reform -- sidelined their own particular tribe while elevating others. A return to the "good old" days prior to the SS and the British actually signals a closer adherence to Hinduism. Is that what Sikhs desire?

The Brits particularly of the Victorian age compartmentalise everything.

Structure and routine with clear instructions is very important. 

Our cultural background is very guchh - muchh. Everything is blurred and nothing is clear and everything is chaotic and intermingled. Our way is that even if our gurus told us explicitly not to do something, we nod and agree and then carry on doing the opposite.

Ironically, if we go by various exalted rehatnamas and similar such writings produced post-The Gurus Period, an influential class of ex-Brahmins who'd converted to Sikhi (supposedly) had maneuvered themselves into the decision-making apparatus of the religion, who, subsequently -- surprise-surprise -- were producing apparently divinely inspired writings that legitimised and prioritised individuals of their own background in terms of special status and power within the Panth itself.

So we basically went full circle from complaining about social injustice under Brahmins prior to 1469, to a Brahmin overseer class infiltrating Sikhi as one of us in order to continue holding onto the reins of whatever spiritual and temporal power was present in the Panth at the time. And apparently this latter period is the golden age we need to return to. ? We're being played by chalakhoos in the Panth.

It does not matter what religion it is, the framework seems to be ever present. 

This framework has it's own semblance of order which is an anomaly in a sea of chaos.

    • 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.
