  1. Full length hijab is decent. It will definitely stop any male attention and it will also keep you safe.
  2. Cover up and stay decent to avoid trouble. If you don't look at anyone, no one will look at you. Don't talk to strangers. Don't talk too much. Just mind your own business and stay out of trouble. Buy a hijab for yourself and make sure it is a designer one in your size and in your favorite color. Wear matching shoes and not white trainers, I think, they look horrible. Don't wear high heels or you might trip over and get hurt. A nice pair of dark sun glasses will look good and stylish. No make-up. Think positive and wish everyone well. Be kind to others. Show compassion. Be willing to help. Be a good listener. it's easy when you have a hijab on. Don't visit NY if you can help it! Smile and be happy Last but not least, don't ever, ever lose sight of your handbag, whatever you do!
  3. But we hindus don't have panj piares so no need to attack us.
  4. I don't think she is wearing a designer hijab. I know designer hijabs can be very expensive, but they are available in all sizes and colors though.
  5. Sikh Federation UK - SFUK 16 October 2013 Sex Trafficking in India Hew York Times, Editorial By THE EDITORIAL BOARD Published: October 16, 2013 Although a brutal gang rape in Delhi last December grabbed national headlines and caused a public outcry, sex trafficking in India has not provoked the same degree of outrage. It is hard to know how many women and girls are trafficked in India, but the United States State Department, the United Nations and India’s Human Rights Commission have all identified India as a major hub in the international sex trade, a global phenomenon that may involve upwards of 27 million people. In March, in the wake of the rape, India’s Parliament passed a bill amending laws concerning sexual violence and making sex trafficking a criminal offense. But the gap between enactment and enforcement remains unacceptably wide. Parliament acted in response to the recommendations of a judicial committee led by the late Justice Jagdish Sharan Verma. In addition to urging tougher laws protecting women and children from abuse, the Verma Report recommended stiffer penalties for sex-related crimes as well as swifter justice for the perpetrators. India’s own sex trade is booming. The New York Times recently reported on widespread human trafficking of young girls in the state of Jharkhand and on the trafficking of impoverished girls into India from neighboring Nepal. Girls are also exported from India and other South Asian countries to the Gulf and Southeast Asia. Persistent poverty is a major factor. Many vulnerable women and girls are lured by promises of employment, and some parents are desperate enough to sell their daughters to traffickers. Rapid urbanization and the migration of large numbers of men into India’s growing cities creates a market for commercial sex, as does a gender imbalance resulting from sex-selective abortion practices that has created a generation of young men who have little hope of finding female partners. India’s affluence is also a factor, luring European women into India’s sex trade. The caste system compounds the problem. Victims of sex trafficking disproportionately come from disadvantaged segments of Indian society. Amending India’s laws is a good step, but a law is only as good as its enforcement. Trafficking is profitable and corruption is widespread. It is all too easy for traffickers to buy off police and other law-enforcement agents. The police must face strong disciplinary consequences for turning a blind eye, and those who commit sex crimes must know that they risk speedy prosecution and stiff sentences. Meanwhile, India’s government should address historic patterns of discrimination and focus increased resources on educating disadvantaged girls. Until attitudes in India toward women change and poor children gain the skills they need to take control of their futures, sex trafficking and the damage it inflicts will continue. A version of this editorial appears in print on October 16, 2013, in The International New York Times. https://www.facebook.com/SikhFederationUK/posts/525922407495983

  7. Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we should dance............unknown to many of us we utter truth indiscriminately. This can hurt many. Bitter can also be defined as a taste in one's mouth eg I have a 'bitter' taste in my mouth now. Don't forget when life is sweet, we should be grateful and celebrate. And when life is bitter, we should still be appreciative and grow. Life is too short to feel bitter.
  8. I will remember not to vote for this person. Sikhs dump Ame Bera over 1984 riots The horrific 1984 anti-Sikh riots may be a fading memory in India, but they remain current here in the United States, are now an election issue in a congressional district in California. Ami Bera, the only Indian American in US congress, is seeking a second term from this district and is faced with revolt from the Sikh community that had voted for him in 2012. “Do not vote for Congressman Ami Bera,” read a flyer that went out recently to all members of this community in California’s congressional district No 7, Bera’s constituency. “Congressman Ami Bera is denying the truth about the November 1984 Genocide of Sikhs in Delhi,” it went on. “He refuses to acknowledge that the Indian government was responsible for the rape, torture and murder of thousands of Sikhs.” Bera, a Democrat, is in a tight race, and needs every vote. There are around 6,000 Sikh voters in California 7, which is a sizable number for a constituency divided equally among Democrats and Republicans. The man running against Bera, Doug Ose, is a Republican who has served three terms in the House of Representatives. And he has come out on the right side of the 1984 test. “It was clear that what the (Indian) government did was wrong and the fact that nobody was held accountable is inexcusable,” Ose has said. There was no response from Bera’s campaign to several mails and phone messages. And some of his advisers reached by email had not responded till the filing of this report.. A body of US-based Sikhs sent serving and aspiring officials a questionnaire in April asking them a set of questions to test their position on issues considered important by the community. Two of them were about the 1984 riots: 1. Do you agree that thousands of Sikhs were murdered in India in November 1984 with the assistance of or lack of intervention by political parties, law enforcement, military or members of the government? 2. Would you, as a Member of Congress, seek to remember and acknowledge the pogroms against Sikhs in November 1984, pursue justice for the victims, and work to ensure it does not happen again? Bera didn’t answer the questions in “yes” or “no” as required. And in a longer response to the second, he said there is no place for “such violence in a free society”. That didn’t go down well. “As a longtime supporter of Dr. Bera, I am shocked and disappointed that he is the only congressional representative in the Sacramento area that has refused to acknowledge that the Indian government was responsible for the November 1984 slaughter of thousands of Sikhs,” said lawyer Amar Shergill
  9. Your words signify the state of your sick mind. It is full of utter poison, jealousy and hatred towards everyone. In fact, you get more and more vindictive when others refuse to respond to you in likewise manner. You derive great joy out of denigrating them.
