Hindu scriptures and the Koran are notorious for emphasizing fabrication. With the amount of right wing fundamentalism injected into India, Hindus are making some absurd claims.

The sad thing is you will see a lot of Punjabi Hindus(on the internet) claiming that it was 30k to 39k Hindus who were killed by Sikhs since 1984 which is a blatant lie of course because they are just taking the figures of the Punjab Congress of Sikhs killed and saying "look! thats how many Hindus you guys killed". Not surprising since telling the truth is not a virtue they are known for.

The akali dal, has been responsible for murdering more sikhs than even the congress party and probably even the mughals/aurangzeb. The badal family will go down in history for their genocide of r ppl.

He hits you again, you call the police. There is absolutely NO excuse for him hitting you.

Why Sant Jarnail Singh Ji did not trust the pseudo-Sikhs of the Akali-Dal or the S.G.P.C https://tisarpanthdotcom.wordpress.com/2016/12/23/friends-and-foes/

No they didn't, the Pandit was angry that Guru HARKrishan was said to be greater than Krishna. 2question for you, is Gita Gurbani to you and do you consider yourself more knowledgeable than Bhai Sahib Bhai Randhir Singh Ji. FYI, it isn't his opinion, its the opinon of just about every Mahapurkh who lived. But you've already demonstrated you think you're better than them by calling them liars. I love how you're so stupid you'll believe everything someone says on TV but when the great TV says something you don't like its all false. utter stupidity. By your twisted logic if Krishna was a Satguru then the Gita is automatically gurbani, YET its not in the Guru Granth Sahib Ji...I guess By your twisted logic the character of a Satguru involves spying on woman naked? You're an utter mess through and through.

Great Expectations is another one of his great ones in my opinion. I think you have to totally forget OT and rediscover his writing. When you read his works notice the occasional, tiny snippets where he refers to people who were going to the 'colonies', especially India. Judging by the passing references I've read, he seems to have deemed them as losers of sorts without much going on for them here. It's relevant to us because his writings cover the period that we Sikhs were attacked and colonised by these people. So it gives us an insight into how some of these colonisers were perceived back home.

Thats their estimation of sikh deaths, and the last column is state magistracy estimation of sikh deaths, which tells u, the ppl of the court r fully aware of the sikh genocide, n isnt a fabrication.

There was a time when parents of wayward boys would approach some respectable family and request of them their daughter. They would paint their daughter as marvellous in their eyes and as having the capability to magically transform their son into a loving husband who would forget his wayward ways snd have a lovely wife to come home to. The parents would get brainwashed and all parties think it a possibility. What other chance in life would their beautiful daughter to become a heroine. Many girls lives have thus been ruined. Their husbands never change and their inlaws are just glad their son got a respectable wife for their son, a hope they had given up. At least its not one of his many loose girlfriends he's married to. The poor girl has to save her face, her parents honour and live the life of a great sacrifice in the name of marriage. Everyone around knows their story but no one can do anything. The poor girl talks to no one and just leads her life being thankful for a roof over the her and her children's heads until her husband dies suddenly from his bad drinking habits.

Penji. Put your degree at work and just leave him. I am suprised he did not get into jail for drunk driving endangering innocent peoples lives. Let me tell you something, you may not like to live with him but he does not want to be in his situation right now either based on my experience when I got arranged married by force. According to what you wrote he is texting other girls which means he maybe did not choose to get married either. And he is using alcoholism to deal with his issues. When he will not use the guru as an anchor to deal with his issues, did your parents even marry you off to a sikh? Your parents say that in sikhism there is no divorce. Well alot of people these days can not make a difference between anand karaj and marriage in sikhism. https://www.sikhnet.com/news/anand-karaj-and-lavan There are other good sources like basics of sikhi and Jagraj talk on "modern" anand karaj etc. Speaking of divorce. http://answers.sikhnet.com/question/9892/sikhism-on-divorce-and-re-marriage/ Your case is a clearly a karmic marriage as referred to the 3rd question.

Some piercing truths there. Seen this happen with people I've grown up with. I've got to check out A Christmas Carol soon. Been on Bleak House for a while now. George Orwell's Animal Farm is also VERY relevant to our community. It shows how an egalitarian movement becomes corrupted just like ours has been these days.

If your dad is in the committee then they should found you someone who does not drink! Go visit your parents and then refuse to go back to your husband. Meanwhile look for a means to become independent. Job with accommodation,work on a cruise ship, work as a nanny with accommodation offered. Else find another partner. ... so at least you are not left on your own... all this before you get a kid. Your parents made this mistake. .. why should you have to pay for it? Contact the organisations as well for support. Be careful not to be caught though planning to leave. What did your parents see in this guy?

What I found strange about these facetious article/pieces is that somehow that is only the migrants benefit the host nation in question. It's always one way, however what about the other way? It's amazing how some migrants suddenly find a work ethic and are incentivised to work hard and contribute when they were lazy as **** in their native countries. The goreh in their wisdom have provided the systems and infrastructure for these migrants to prosper. One day maybe the migrants' native countries will get rid of the systemic corruption and improve their infrastructures so that these people do not need to leave their countries and are able to have the opportunities and improve their standard of living.

Although education and wealth (and status) aren't mutually exclusive, there's katha out there which discusses how Man finds himself completely entangled in the accumulation of money once he starts upon that road. Many say, "I'll be different. I'll know when to stop. I'll use my money for the betterment of my fellow man." And it never happens. Even when he or she is sleeping their soul is lost in how much must be made, or worried about not losing what they have. When you listen to something like that from a Gurmat perspective it hits you what a burden excessive wealth can be. Heck, even Charles Dickens did an admirable job of broaching a similar subject in A Christmas Carol. Definitely worth a read. Of course, education and wealth, as I said, aren't always the best of bedfellows. Education for self betterment is one of the best things a person can do for themselves.

Thank you all for your help and support my parents have said if I walk away then that is it i am on my own as in sikhi there is no divorce. I do work but i cannot afford my own place. He got caught drunk driving in an accident luckily he only drove into a wall and is on a tag. I am scared that people will look down on me and i will be ostracised as my dad is well known and part of the gurdwara committee. Can i be a good sikh and leave.

VaheGuruJiKaKhalsa VaheGuruJiKiFateh PhenJi, if you are based in the U.K it might be worth speaking to Sikh Awareness Society, as I'm sure they will have provided similar assistance in the past - http://www.sasorg.co.uk/ stay strong and close to your gutka sahib and if things get too difficult, it may be worth getting in touch with the police or a women's shelter. My mum went through something similar in the 70's and she had to start on her own again, because of the warped punjabi family mentality, however we Sikhs of the Guru stick together and provide support when and where possible, so just ask.

Penji Jasbkaur, I'm not sure if this will help but I've put it on for you. You can ask them for advice: Alcohol and Beyond. Also do your ardas to Waheguru, as they are the one that will help.

You have to decide. Would u rather be sad and beaten up your whole life or be talked about? And if u leave him, will u live with ur parents? And will ur parents support u or give u a hard time? If u have a job, then u should think about leaving. If u dont then u have to see what will happen if u leave. Will u be able to get remarried? Will u be able to live with your parents forever? So think about getting a job anyway, because if he is seeing other girls, he might divorce u. Also, if u cant leave him, then u can try to change him. Maybe calling the police on him when he beats u up will help? Get your own room for gutka sahib? Also do lots of sukhmani sahib de paath and do ardaas that guruji there is noone to help. My parents say i must endure this. His parents dont help. I have only you, please help.

Just one point, education is not essential for sikhee to exist. It is like saying, I am a teacher, and this is essential for being a football player, for example. One thing has nothing to do with the other. Sikhee is complete by itself as per Gurmat, it needs no complements. Sikhee to be fully realized needs only love, faith and regular devotion. Sat Sree Akal.

I think education is very important, especially for Sikhs. Without education, u will either have to do unskilled jobs, be on welfare, or live as a baba which is freeloading off of gurudwaras. The thing with unskilled jobs is that they r disappearing fast, not enough to go around, machines replacing them, and u might be mistreated. And u might nor earn enough to support yourself and ur parents. Also it will create an image that sikhs are an uneducated lot, which alot of sikhs ppl care about as they have spent their lives creating the opposite image. Being on welfare is really bad for a sikh. First they will not be following hukam of doing kirt. Second society will look at you n sikhs as undesirables. This is becoming more important as most countries are becoming anti-immigrant. So if ur a load on the country, they might get rid of you. Also welfare and benefits could be cut off anytime. And hardearned money of ppl is being taken away from them thru taxes to be given to u. Thirdly, living as a baba has the disadvantages of both above things. Not enough positions to go around, low pay, benefits cut off any time etc. Also in the past being a granthi was a respected position because the granthi was educated, and would provide tutoring in gurmukhi etc. Fourth, if u r uneducated u cant help make decisions that sikh ppl will need to in the future. Such as can kirpaans be allowed in spaceships, can we eat synthesized meat, can we genetically engineer our babies, is capitalism and democracy the best types of governments/economies, should gmo be allowed in langars, should all langar be gluten free as gluten intolerance is increasing, should sarbat khalsa be online etc., should there be a sikh colony on mars, To help with these n other problems that sikhs will be facing, we need educated, informed, part of society sikhs. Fifth, you can help out more people if u r educated n wealthy. Also it isnt easy to focus on bhagti all day, all the time. Try it. On a weekend, try this suggestion given by bhai pinderpal singh: do ishnaan dress all in white, go to a clean, quiet place where u cant be disturbed. And do nitnem then do simran all the way until its rehraas time. Take a pillow or gadhi for ur back n butt. Also keep a water bottle nearby. And u get 15 min lunch. Thats it. Try it. Sixth, lots of ppl think sikhi is incompatible with modern life. And u dont want to spread such misrepresentation, i hope.

Krishna in Gurbani, by Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji has been criticized for calling himself great because he, Krishna is great because he put a nose ring in a king cobra. Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji mocks Krushna and says vaheguru can do many great things; your 'achievement' is nothing. So we can interpret Gurbani as we like???? What is this Lord of the rings and the Gods are battling each other. Will one satguru critically insult another Satguru actions. Maybe in your folklore beliefs but never in Sikhi because Satguru is NEVER wrong. But Krishna has been shown to be wrong by Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji.

Carrying tomatoes !!! A teacher asked her students to bring some tomatoes in a plastic bag to school. Each tomato was to be given the name of a person whom that child hates. So, the number of tomatoes would be equal to the number of persons they hate. On a pre-determined day, the children brought their tomatoes well addressed. Some had two, some had three and some had five, some even had 20 tomatoes in accordance with the number of people they hated. The teacher then told them they had to carry the tomatoes with them everywhere they go for two weeks. As the days passed the children started to complain about the decay and smell of the tomatoes. The students who had many tomatoes complained it was very heavy to carry and the smell was too much. After a week, the teacher asked the students “How did you feel this week?” The children complained of the awful smell and heavy weight of the tomatoes, especially those who carried several tomatoes. The teacher said, “This is very similar to what you carry in your heart when you don’t like some people. Hatred makes the heart unhealthy and you carry that hatred everywhere. If you can’t bear the smell of spoilt tomatoes for a week, imagine the impact of bitterness on your heart as you carry it daily.” The heart is a beautiful garden that needs regular cleaning of unwanted weeds. This makes room for storing good things. Get Better, Not Bitter!!
