This country is getting on my nerves. A Zog infiltrated mess.

I'm guessing the Sikh guy saw a little brown fella, guessed he was a recent immigrant from India, and thought, "These guys act big when there's a crowd of them in their own country. Here's one on his own; he's not going to do 5hit by himself, so I'll verbally berate him, and see if he starts anything." It's not so much who this individual was, but what he represented. I don't know.

Near the end of the video it becomes clear the Sikh guy's irrational hatred of the Hindu guy stems from some sort of political / religious sentiment. The Sikh berates the Hindu guy's "people" for bowing down to the British and enabling their subsequent colonising behaviour. It's all there in the video if you watch until the end. The Sikh guy has a point BUT a keen student of history could point out that Sikh collusion with British colonisers was a reality that unfortunately cannot be ignored.

I have no idea. I don't think it's a problem. Most people from "cold" countries are a little self-conscious of showing their feet even during heatwaves. I think recent immigrants from warmer climates tend not to be too bothered about these things.

Has anyone watched the video above? I think the Sikh guy was annoyed at the little Indian fella for wearing chappals. Tbf I too was confronted with similar sights during the recent hot weather. I went to a Indian supermarket to get the usual supplies, and the amount of crusty brown feet in flip-flops was too damn high! (I'm joking btw).

I wonder what those thugs looked like?

When it comes to external threats we turn into mice and start reciting, "Aval Allah Noor Upaya, Kudrat ke Sab Bande." When we have vendettas against our own within our community, we turn into bhainchod John Wick!

That's even worse than a committee skirmish. There will be shootings over kabaddi matches in the West soon. ?

It's Sikh on Sikh violence in a gurdwara setting, most likely a committee issue. It's not hilarious but it's certainly not a tragedy the same as if it had been a racially motivated attack. Now we know that American Sikhs have no excuse if an outsider ever decides to arrive to shoot up a Sikh temple. If we can use guns against ourselves in petty incidents, we can use them to take out a non-Sikh with hostile intent.

No, probably JAT. ??

On one hand this is clown behaviour... but when you've got a community like Muslims on your doorstep, it doesn't hurt to remind them that there's another community around with at least a little masculine presence. It's not a perfect world but you make do with the best you've got. At least they're not walking around with umbrellas...

Fair play to Panesar. I had him down as a bit of Laal Singh Chadha himself, but he's come out and said what no other Sikhs with a profile have bothered to highlight.

Sikh religious causes and the general religious scene don't seem to be attractive to otherwise intelligent (book smart) laymen. The odd professor, researcher, author, student of history, etc, is not representative of the masses. I imagine what puts smart people off is the inflexible religious tribalism coupled with the purity spiral / unrealistic barrier to entry that eliminates 99% of any interest. Plus, the leadership and hierarchy have NO answers to the problems that Sikhs face today. The solutions they present are one or both of: 1) Your karams are 5hit - pray more. 2) Your misfortune is God's grace - pray more so in the next life you receive more favourable circumstances. Meanwhile people should just neck themselves because this janam is a write-off? Absolute demoralising jokery.

A lack of a thorough and ongoing mainstream exegesis of Sikh scriptures BY SIKHS that PROMOTES Sikhi (instead of apologising for it) has a considerable part to play in this problem. I get the feeling that certain Sikhs believe that diluting and erasing aspects of Sikhi to accomodate non-Sikhs is the highest expression of being a Sikh. We have to accept that somewhere along the way, our Sikh religious hierarchy emphasised and pushed to the fore certain strands of the religion in the belief they were doing a noble and spiritually positive thing, when, from a long-term perspective, they've done incredible damage to Sikh interests and the Sikh psyche. They've confused Sikhs who aren't "balle, balle" low-IQ, blind followers with a muddled philosophy that doesn't tally with reality. Accordingly, those who can't reconcile these issues end up converting to other religions or just end up being irreligious. Then what you see are Christians and Muslims standing on the sidelines, salivating at the sight of Sikhs doing THEIR dirty business for them. It's a paradoxical and ludicrous take on things.

Working-class young Sikhs are pushed into martial arts from what I've seen over the years, but the ones with dads who are in white-collar industries seem to baulk at that scene.

@Premi5 BBC bhainchods had this feature article on "British South-East Asian" boxers a few weeks ago. To a man, they were all Abduls (no other religions), talking about how their faith helped them in their boxing. Proper Islamophile propaganda. What a load of tatti.

Shalom Sri Akal... I mean, Sat Sri Akal, fellow Sikh brothers and sisters. ?

That happened to me once. I did an additional Jap Ji Sahib for a few days. It was an accident. Make amends according to your conscience, and move on.

Drive carefully, Singhs. This is why truck drivers in India knock back those small glasses of tea during the journey.
