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

I These advertisements are everywhere, on shops, polls, news channels, radios.

They're visually and mentally disturbing. I visited a few years back, when people discover you're from overseas, they ask you for immigration advice and make you to talk in English so they can perfect their own English!  I won't be surprised if children forget their 'oora-aira' because English is becoming so ingrained.

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

Where is 'here' to you? Australia? 

The ones in the UK don't dress immodestly, but I can sense they have serious double lives going on.

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. 

You know what, many if not most of the young, financially successful guys from back home I've met here, seem to have strong sociopathic or NPD traits. They seem to all be inherently dishonest to a fault. Compulsive lying seems to be a norm. I can actually understand why females who aren't like this would run away at the first opportunity. 

Also, as (I think you?) posted previously. There are often big intelligence/intellectual differences between some rural Panjabi males and females, which we can tell by how often the females have to do certain courses to immigrate, that the bloke is too thick to do. That must be torturous.

I posted about the mass-exodus and the issues it brings. One of them is rural (and urban) boys who have the money just make the girls do the exam, sometimes they get abandoned because the girl usually goes alone. There have been cases of these guys resorting to suicide because the girls abroad didn't respond to their texts.

On another forum a canuck brother was saying that lots of middle eastern refugee women who'd settled in the Toronto area with their families were leaving them and running off to BC at the first opportunity.    

I think maybe when we come from quite a controlling society, and then suddenly get thrown into a greater level of freedom, people firstly go mental, and run a mile away from their previous societal structure. You have to teach people to sit inside freedom when they aren't used to it - or they will be like a poor, starved kid let loose in a candy shop.

Personally, I don't think Panjab is a controlling society (compared to the middle east). I was quite shocked last time I went, its becoming increasingly liberal due to immigration.

Barely any young man wears traditional clothing (both rural & urban) and women are adopting western clothing (in cities/towns). Almost everyone in villages has access to smartphones, social media and the internet.

I think generationally, we have experienced two different things in terms of Panjabi culture. All I ever heard from hordes of females growing up was complaints about being controlled. But then maybe them being 'special needs' <cough, cough> played a big part in this and such people can't tell their ar5e from their elbow?

I can see things aren't like what they used to be now too. 

Plus, I think we shouldn't really idealise our society. I think Charitrio Pakyaan written over 300 years ago, clearly shows us that 'scandalous' behaviour, is no new phenomena.

    • lol dal panth Panj told me explicitly not to associate with Vadhbhag Singh Sodhi followers!
    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
