Now that article 50 has been invoked and the UK is set to leave the EU club.

What are the ramification for British Sikhs and Sikhs in the EU?

What are the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats once the UK regains its sovereign parliamentary powers.

Look on the brightside. The tide of immigrants coming with EU passports will decrease.

Judging by Theresa may's recent comments about not stopping the overflow of EU immigrants in the UK after brexit it seems it might not be true.

I do not think it will make a great deal difference to the UK Sikh.

However, it could mean that Sikhs that become pakkeh in EU will not be able to freely move to UK like before.

EU human rights court was important in cases of Sikh separatists who were persecuted by indian govt being allowed to stay in the UK and other countries in europe. Without these strong human rights laws the EU provided then all cases will be left to the political relationship of India and UK.

So British Sikhs need to start getting very politically active. No longer will they be able to take human rights legislation for granted.

That is a possibility. However,  I am sure that many of those laws will be carried over if they are not in UK law already.

There is bound to be new trade deals with countries and with negotiations there is going to be concessions made on both parties.

But I am no expert in no law.

British Sikhs should be politically active regardless of whether UK is in EU or not.

Unfortunately if we want freedom of movement around Europe to work (which the British do) they are going to have to allow it for EU citizen's as well, the whole "immigration" hard sell to get people to vote to leave the EU was a complete fallacy(pretty much the same goes for that whole £350 million going back into the nhs and a load of other things), in the long run i highly doubt freedom of movement for EU citizens will be restricted, maybe a little more monitored though.

Overall i don't think Brexit will directly affect the Sikh community, it's more how it will affect British citizens but one thing's slowly becoming clear, that's how racist people are, there has been an increase in incidents of racial abuse and racially aggravated assaults since Brexit.

As far as the EU Human Rights act/law, there was talk a while ago of repealing it if we left the EU, it would be replaced with the British Bill of Rights but the Government backtracked on this because it would be too much of a constitutional change so as far as i've read the Human Rights Act that we have as the moment is due to stay until after the General Election in 2020 – but even then there is no guarantee it will be replaced.

    • 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.
