Yes education is important in the sikh community just like every other community parents want the best for their kids but not all sikhs get educated an sikhs an gora have about the same acadamic success

Their over 2 billion people in india pakistan bagledesh and sri lanka yet jamaica a nation of 2 million has more then ten times the athletic success then all of south asia combined

Trinidad is a country of one million

Half of the country is black and half is indian

The indians control 90 percent of the wealth

But that half million of blacks with lack of wealth and resources were still able to qualify for the world cup in soccer more then india pakistan bangledesh sri lanka combined

Chatanga were do you live if you don't mind me asking

I think every gurdwara should ask n put up posters for female volunteers in helping put together a womens empowerment movement together

I know sikh girls who grew up with strong moral good parents who tought them proper morals and made sure they raised strong confident women

Their are also girls I know who think being strong n confident is being sexually active with multiple men an doing what they want but in those cases the parents failed in teaching their daughters morals n teaching them how most men by nature tend to be sex hungry

Confident strength a strong bond between brother n sister n father n daughter n teaching strong morals n teaching aspects of sikhi that talk about the role women play in society most influntial ppl in guru nanak's life were women his mother sister wife strong women raise strong communities that was huge part of sikh philosophy 200 years ago when women trained along side men in being soldiers 200 years ago women went to the battle field n fought along side men

1947 women no longer had military training and would kill themselves to avoid being raped

1984 women were raped

Today women focus on wearing mini skirts to get attention from men to make up for lack of self esteem growing up in a punjabi culture that spoils boy n treats daughters as second class citizens behind the son

Punjabi culture is the cancer in sikhism

Are gurus fought against aspects of punjabi culture like sexism n discrimination against women n caste an ego

a lot of Sikh parents rather then take accountability and say their child messed up they will blame the childs friends

many Sikhs play victim rather then take accountability for situations in their life

you can either be a victim and a by product of your environment

or you can be accountable and have your environment be a by product of you

sikhi teaches people to be accountable for what is going on in their life

but Punjabi culture teaches more victimisation then accountability

for example Punjab drug problem

I believe drugs should be legal and a citizen has the right to choose what they want to do with their bodies

now cause drugs are available does not mean everyone is just going to start doing drugs

if heroin became legal would you run out and by heroin

way I see it if Sikhs were accountable they would wake up and realise this anti Sikh pro Punjabi culture of spoiling boys is the root cause of the drug problem

in Punjab ppl are driven more by Punjabi culture of ego materialism and status over sikhi teaching of character integrity and morals

which leads to many Punjabis saying hey my son doesn't have to work look at me look at the bike I buy him and the wedding I throw that I cannot afford to boost my ego and I higher Bihar workers to work my fields and spoil my boy to boost ego

funny how many spoiled kids screw up their lives

only sport south Asians seem to be good at is cricket

and considering india alone makes up a larger population of cricket fans then rest of the world combined doesn't really say much for south Asian athleticism

how much of this have to do with culture?

how much of this have to do with diet? lack of protein and all the butter and ghee and cooking are vegetables rather then eating them raw and fresh and green

and are diet helps south Asians win gold medal in diabetes compared to rest of the world

I don't think its genetics cause the top power lifters in Canada and wrestlers come from bc and tend to be Punjabi boys who grew up on farms in canada

why do such poor African nations much more poor then any south Asian nation and more corrupt then any south Asian nation have more athletic success then all of south asia combined

Africans have destroyed the corruption and poverty excuse so south Asians can't use that

England the black youth make up half of the population of south Asian youth yet their is an explosion of black soccer players but no one from south Asian background has made any real break through

I know their is Michael Chopra but again not anything big

why don't the Sikhs educate the Pakistanis in the uk about how their ancestors were raped and converted into islam by the sword

almost all the Pakistanis in England are kashmire Punjabi and pashtun

if you read history kashmire Punjabi muslims and Pashtuns were converted to islam after the arabs conquered their ancestors

pakis should be feeling ashamed to be muslim

same way educated westernised Persians feel ashamed that the arabs enforced islam on their ancestors hence why many of them supported the shah pre 79 and most Persians in north America are so anti Islamic and pro westernised

in sikhi a person is defined by his character integrity and morals

in Punjabi culture a person is defined by their materialism and status

ive seen liberal Sikh parents that cut their hair and don't go to the gurdwara much raise strong confident good morale daughters and Sikh parents who are conservative Sikh parents and don't cut their hair and go to the gurdwara all the time who have strong character and integrity and morals and ingrain those same qualities into their kids and end up with strong confident good morale daughters

then ive seen Sikh parents who are very liberal cut their hair not go to the gurdwara much follow materialism and end up raising daughters who wear mini skirts smoke weed start drinking and jump from guy to guy

ive seen Sikh parents who are very conservative who don't cut their hair and go to the gurdwara all the time but follow materialism and status raise daughters who wear mini skirts smoke weed start drinking and jump from guy to guy

they think money and status is what defines them

to busy being materialistic and not spending enough time building their daughters self esteem and to busy trying to boost their egos rather then focus on teaching their daughters good morals

and they end up spoiling their sons which leads to alcohol abuse and drug abuse and explains why so many drug addicts in punjab

for example jatts have to much ego to let their sons do any work and spoil them with money and have the biya do the work while the boys with free time and money go get high and drunk

jatherdarsahib they did do a study asking soldiers about sexual abuse

google search sexual assaults in American military united states military

1 in 3 reported being sexually assaulted but to scared to come forward and witnesses who saw their fellow soldiers face sexual

abuse refused to come forward cause they did not want to get labelled rats

cowardly standing by while sexual abuse took place is what makes them rats and what would of made them heroes would be

if they came forward and stood up against such criminal acts

two wrongs don't make a right

yes Taliban and Islamic extremists are a thousand times worst then soldiers committing war crime

but attacking an innocent human being and abusing your power makes you no different then a terrorist

man is defined by his character and integrity

soldiers who commit such acts lack character and integrity and are really just cowards

heck sikhi says ego status and money don't define a man

character integrity morals define a man

if you research on google

1 in 4 women in the us military have bin raped and sexually abused

reason soldiers can get away with crimes is cause rule in us military is soldiers don't rat each other

out and you got the other soldiers back when it comes to things like this otherwise your on your own

when soldiers violate an innocent human being or hurt an innocent human being and another soldier

takes their back and defends his fellow soldier after that soldier commited such a horrible crime

doesn't that make both the soldiers actual rats and cowards and terrorists

the soldier who did the crime and the soldier who backed up the criminal soldier by denying seeing anything

you tube british soldiers beat children

google rolling stones kill team

or research sexual abuse in the American military

with my experiences with Punjabi police officers in the west is that they need to suck up to the white guys to feel like they fit in cause they have insecurities and low character and integrity

if you go into the rcmp and your partner accuses someone of a crime that you did not see, would you follow the hidden rule and back your partner up or would you to the right thing and show strong character integrity and courage and do the right thing

most people lack character and integrity and courage hence why when given power their corrupted

google Edmonton police corruption

or youtube some of the videos of corruption amongst police officers in canada

rcmp tazer case were the rcmp tried to cover their footsteps and lied and backed each other up

amongst most police officers the rule is if a police officer abuses his power you act like a coward and back your fellow officer up cause if you show courage and do the right thing then you are labelled a rat

police officers have one of the safest jobs but some dumb people actually think their jobs are dangerous

taxi drivers an truck drivers and people in the trades have jobs that are ten times more dangerous jobs then police officers

and police officers never get shot at or murdered in Canada

from personal experience with police and Punjabi police officers who act like slaves

if your going to join remember to keep your character and integrity cause that's what a Sikh is

Sikh is a man of character and integrity and sikhi preach to work on improving your character and integrity morals over status ego and materialism

96% of the british east india company mercenary army was made up of indian soldiers

indian mercenary who fought for the british east india company were called sepoys

why did certain group of Indians fight loyally for the british

and cause of that loyalty india went from the second richest country before the british to poor country after british

what type of divide and rule policies were used

gorkhas and Bengalis regiments were the once used as mercenaries for the british

why did Sikhs afterwards decide to fight for the british rather than against the british

1857 the Sikhs fought along with the gorkhas to crush the rebellion why?

did the british purposely pick martial races to play divide rule

treat the martial races real well to win their loyalty and use that loyalty to exploit the indians

that were discriminated against by british policies

why did the Sikhs fall for these policies rather then stand up for the Indians that were discriminated against

how would you run a Sikh empowerment program at your local gurdwara

how would you start one

reason I believe this is important is

their is sexual abuse that takes place iin are community

we have grown perverts who have sexually assaulted children

we know many Sikh girls grow up with low self esteem cause the retarded Punjabi culture favors boys over girls and Punjab leads india in female abortions

strong women

will raise a strong community

if you focus on spoiling boys

you'll raise a state full of drug addicts like Punjab

Sikhism teaches us to raise strong confident women

after 30 years in England muslims still manage to end up using Sikh girls

All the top actors are muslims with last name khan

How in a hindu majority country are the most famous celebirties muslim

amar_jkp you are an idiot I am not a hindu

but why did Indians fight loyally for the british including muslims hindus rather then freedom

pal I love your explanation as well as did the british divide and rule policies for example picking martial races and treating them well help the british win the loyalty of so many indians

it was Indians used to exploit other Indians for the british

the british east indian companies military was 96% indian when the 4 wars happened with mysore empire and the 3 wars with the Maratha empire and the 2 wars with the Sikh empire

I can understand why Sikhs bow to the guru granth sahib thanks to people like interpals explanation

but what is the difference between when a Sikh sees the spirit in the guru granth sahib when they bow down be it in a book or laptop and when a hindu bows down to a statue seeing the same spirit

amarjeet singh_1737 again stop TRYING to insult me cause you exposed you are the one who is a imbecile

this also explains why you have avoided my questions

amarjeet_singh_1737 stop TRYING to throw insults at me and answer the question

fact you avoid answering the question shows you are the true imbecile

OnPathToSikhi I would rather eat off the plate cause its easier cleaner and more convenient

so if someone downloaded the guru granth sahib on to their cell phone would you bow down to the phone to pay respects to the guru granth sahib

And the answers are?

what type of divide and rule policies were used

what kept Indians from uniting and easily over throwing the british

why did many Indians fight for the british in helping the british and upper class Indians exploit poor

why did so many Sikhs fight for the british when it would of bin easier to over throw the british then fight for them in world war 1

I love how the news media twist facts around and cherry pick facts to dramatize the news to get more ratings

one is Afghanistan has not bin taken over

Afghanistan was created in the 1700's mid 1700's

before that anyone who invaded that region had succeeded in conquering it and no one had failed in conquering the region who invaded

alexander the great

then biharis of the maryan empire

then the arabs who converted the region to islam after conquering it

then a turk king nadir shah ruled over what is Afghanistan today

then Afghanistan was created

then the Sikhs conquered more then half the Pashtun lands

then the british east indian company who at its peak had the largest mercenary army ever with it being 96% indian took Afghanistan and won every battle in the anglo afghan war

after conquering Afghanistan the british east india company noticed Afghanistan was a liability and eating away at their profits

the purpose of invading Afghanistan was to keep Russia away

so the british east india company cut their afghan budget to cut loss of profits to investors

they left 4500 soldiers and 4000 of those were Bengali muslim mercenary soldiers aka Bangladeshi soldiers and about 500 English officers and soldiers and 12 000 civilians who were wives and children of the soldiers

cause of the budget military cuts for Afghanistan it gave the afghans a chance to revolt considering their were only less then 5 000 soldiers from the british east indian company

yes everyone was wiped out accept for a few during the retreat of Kabul

considering those mercenaries who were mostly Bengalis were out numbered by thousands of Pashtuns and their family members

don't know if it counts as a humiliating defeat for the british the way the media makes it sound

cause Afghanistan is such a poor country the british invaded Afghanistan again and defeated the afghans in every single battle this time with an british indian army consisting of mostly Sikh and gurkha soldiers but instead of governing Afghanistan cause their was no profit to be made cause Afghanistan was so poor, they decided to tell the afghan king hey listen either be englands bitc* or they'll have them over thrown

Afghanistan came under imperial rule under the british and the afghans lost every battle

then the third anglo afghan war the afghans thought hey chance for freedom right after world war 1 and again the afghans lost every battle against british indian military consisting mostly of Sikh and gorkha soldiers

but after Russia had a revolution the brits didn't need Afghanistan any more n let it go

soviet afghan war the soviets were backing the afghan govt and trying to enforce an atheist culture on a nation completely muslim in a very poor country with no money to be made

Russian defeat came from running out of money but the afghans never won one battle against the soviets instead they kept taking a butt wooping battle after battle till soviets couldn't afford to continue to woop them anymore

same goes for the war on terror in Afghanistan since 2001

unless the west applies divide and rule policies which is looked down upon in the 21 century Afghanistan is hopeless to spread democracy all across afghanistan

only once whole accept democracy are the tajiks hazaras and turks

shut this topic down if its to conteversial but im going to rephrase the question

do you bow down to the guru granth sahib book

if so why

if not why

would you bow down to a laptop if the guru granth sahib had bin downloaded on it

if so why

if not why

telling people to smack ppl up side the head that act in a anti Sikh manner

Why do sikhs bow down to the guru granth sahib??

Isn't it just a book with teachings of the guru granth sahib in it

And sikhi is against such rituals

But if ppl bow down to the book with the guru granth sahib written inside of it

Then do they bow down to a laptop with the guru granth sahib downloaded on to it

I think sikhi is against such rituals

N it will be interesting to see as technology progresses if certain sikhs will continue to bow down to the guru granth sahib if its lownloaded on a laptop or will they look like hypocrites as they bow down to the book but not laptop

Guru granth sahib is beautiful but at the same time these rituals sikhs perform when it comes to the guru granth sahib book are against the teachings of the gurus

I think guru nanak would be against this behavior as he preached that such rituals are useless

In the 1700's I've bin reading these rituals didn't exsist sikhs wouldn't bow down to the guru granth sahib book n saw this behaviour as a hindu ritual hence why they avoided bowing down

Yet in 1800's slowly sikhs started copying hindus and went against the sikh teachings n started doing these rituals when it comes to the guru granth sahib
