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.

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.

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

    • 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.
