Indian Ancient History

Today, 10:47 AM

An interesting site I came across about ancient Indian history. I haven't read the scholars papers but sounds interesting from what I've watched on youtube.
He's a Vedic scholar though ethnically a Greek.
From what I gather he takes a Indo-centric approach to indian pre-history, ie counter argues the Aryan Invasion theory etc.
BTW when he talks of Sapt Sindu, he is on about Panjab! Incase you want any relevance to this site.

Gatka Or Fame Hungry?

When do these things change from being 'cool' to being 'silly' to being simply 'child abuse'?

Defn. For Terminology

01 May 2012 - 02:27 PM

I think it was N30 who said the 4 states of a sikhs avastha:
Shariat, Marfat, Haqiqat etc etc.

Anyone know the meanings of these terms?

Also these words seem to come from Arabic. Is the philosophy behind it from islam(/sufiism) as well?

Recession And Food Banks

27 April 2012 - 02:38 PM

Many would have heard from news channel about the mushrooming growth of food banks in the UK/Europe.
Whereas two or three years ago there were just a few dozen in the UK, now there are a few hundred and growing fast.

My question is are there any gurdwaras in the UK that have set up a similar system to help feed their local (non-sikh) community?
I would have thought that with the langar system up and running gurdwaras would be at the forefront of helping local communities. But I havn't heard of any gurdwaras taking the initiative here.
