Basically this broad just suffered and witnessed racism and still stuck around being used as a poster girl for years........
 
To survive amid this toxic culture, female staff like me had one of two options: to either go out drinking with the lads, be a “ladette” and discuss our sexual exploits; or to avoid all this and know you would never truly be viewed as part of the team. You’d never be fully accepted.
I couldn’t be “one of the lads”, because of my colour and race. But I would still 
have to listen as male colleagues discussed their conquests, or commented on women walking past and what they wanted to do to them.
I joined the Met in 1989. As you might expect, the culture wasn’t any better back then. I had my first taste of this when, out on patrol with a colleague, somebody called me a “Paki”. My colleague stood up for me and told the offender: “Hey, you can’t say that.” My heart briefly filled with gratitude. Then came the sucker punch. “Only we’re allowed to call her a Paki,” he added.

This is the reality of life for us when we work in mainstream western organisations. How many of our people get their daughters educated and then feel so much pride when they land that status job, only for the women to face this kind of stuff - or at least subtle racism or tokenism/fetishism - which they often succumb to for its benefits.  

You weren't in this picture while you were still active ?

I think this really says more about how we are perceived as a community, than anything else. 

You're not so much coming out of the closet, but sort of slowly edging your way out........hhmmmmm....lol

so then you may want to make a personal choice which Maryada you want to go with for Sri Maharaj Ji's seva, please note there is no one way for seva. it is all based on your devotion and gyan combined together.

Granthi ji have different opinion from different gurudwaras

Nuts are a very popular food.
They’re tasty, convenient, and can be enjoyed on all kinds of diets — from keto to vegan.
Despite being high in fat, they have a number of impressive health and weight benefits.

What Are Nuts? Nuts are seed kernels that are widely used in cooking or eaten on their own as a snack. They’re high in fat and calories.
They contain a hard, inedible outer shell that usually needs to be cracked open to release the kernel inside.
Fortunately, you can buy most nuts from the store already shelled and ready to eat.
Here are some of the most commonly consumed nuts:
Almonds Brazil nuts Cashews Hazelnuts Macadamia nuts Pecans Pine nuts Pistachios Walnuts Though peanuts are technically legumes like peas and beans, they’re usually referred to as nuts due to their similar nutrition profile and characteristics.

Thanks bhai ji. You know I have difficulties listening to these things.

Here is the audio version of it. The text might be long to post. If it's not that big, Gurparsaad, Daas will post it.

@sevak what is your background ji ? I mean, did you emigrate to Canada from Panjab ?
I thought that Canada is considered second behind USA as 'Sachkhand' lol ? 
I think women are better with linguistic skills generally than men ? Men also are not as disciplined I think when taking exams and studying as women ?
Traditionally Punjabi men deserted there desi wifes for gori (white) women. Why wouldnt they desert now.  - How common is/was that ? 
Girl or boy is not a genuine student and is only coming to get PR. Govt should exercise some control. >99% of them probably are not , same in UK. Govt/educational institutions make money from these students, also the agents if there any involved also, so they'll 'turn a blind eye' to these fake students

It might be. Daas will have to check.

Is that in the Kulwant Singh translation? 

There is an episode in Sri Sooraj Prakash Granth about it.
Along with him, Bhai Ram Singh jee and Bhai Fateh SIngh jee (who were probably from Jatt backgrounds too) also abandoned Sri Satguru jee (Tenth Master).

Jatts and other people who followed Sakhi Sarwar were more like Muslims than Sikhs.
In Sri Pracheen Panth Prakash, it talks about clashes between Sultaniye Jatts and Sikh Jatts.

Nice. If you ever find the original text, do share brother. 

Amazing stuff bro.
That line speaks out against Extreme Hygiene.

How much role did Singh Sabha movement play ?
And I think a lot of those Sakhi Sarwar followers were 'Sikh' more than any other identity, but had mixed beliefs maybe

@Premi
Did you notice that post with the pie charts on the other forum showing how many HP juts converted to Sikh between 1920/1930 in Doaba and Majha? That they were sakhi sarwaars and stuff previously. 
That means we have hordes of people in our panth, who've only been Sikh for a 100 years. And even when they converted, it was probably for economic uplift rather than any firm belief in the dharam? It explains a lot!  

I didn't know this? Where did you learn this from? 

Sochay soch na hovai jai sochi lakh vaar

Sucham is very important among Hindu Brahmins (and may be some other groups), not all Hindustani culture.
