Once I heard of people visiting a particular Gurdwara for 4/5 Sunday's to get their visa! Apparently, visiting that Gurdwara and getting your name written in the Ardas fulfilled all your wishes, and you can guess what majority of Panjabis wish for!

They are like some alien race in a sci-fi movie that settle on a planet- completely nachoor it and ruin it, and then move on to another planet to do the same again.

This ones from Jalandhar. Isn't it disrespectful to place toys like that?

Are these people also giving toy horses so that they can get horses? What sort of primitive 'culture' is this?

Quite sad. Our ancestors kept this land somehow for ages without ruining it. Then a few generations come in, set to make it a polluted desert, disrespect Gurdwara's and tear apart any existing social fabric.

I think the recent colonial era and the 'Green revolution' plays a big part in this.

I think the horses have some historical connection with Talhan Sahib Gurdwara too. 

But these are the reasons for different toys

Gudda (male doll) to fulfil the wish of a male child

Horses for good health

Planes for flying out (which make up the majority)

Definitely but recently migration (mass-exodus) made it worse in terms of tearing the social fabric, morals, etc. It astonishes me how low people have stooped, particularly in the past decade.

This does seem a bit.........primitive.  Donations of food stuff and materials to help maintain a gurdwara I can understand, but this just seems like some primitive, animalistic 'offering to the gods' practice.

They're doing what Sikhi forbids, blind, meaningless ritualism and offerings.

The people who emigrate from Panjab today do not remotely, look, act or think like the older original immigrants that I remember.

The very young ones who come without family/partner aren't the best. They think coming abroad gives them a free pass on everything, including cheating (e.g. abandoning partners). There have been cases of suicide due to this. 

From what aunties say, recently immigrated girls dress worse than those raised here (who are still somewhat modest).
