    Monika Sidhu: The Black Sikh Collective Is Building A More Inclusive Community
    “Being a Black Sikh, or being a non-Punjabi Sikh…it feels nice to know there are people out there that you can relate to, that can basically guide you."

    January 28, 2022 | 5 min. read | Original Reporting
    When Brianna Sukhmani Kaur started the Black Sikh Collective (BSC) in 2020 she was hoping to establish a wider conversation around being both Sikh and Black. Such experiences have not been discussed widely in the diaspora, even as the community grows.  
    “Being a Black Sikh, or being a non-Punjabi Sikh…it feels nice to know there are people out there that you can relate to, that can basically guide you,” she says in an interview with Baaz.
    For her, it was about being able to speak on the experiences of Black Sikhs while also hoping to create a space that was inclusive to not only all the diverse voices within the Sikh world but for anybody who could resonate.
    “The Black Sikh Collective isn't insular. We're for any and everybody. Whether it's the LGBTQ plus community, the Dalit community, the Black community, the Indigenous community, we support all marginalized groups across the board.” 
    BSC started off as an Instagram account alongside friend and fellow advocate Gurpreet Kaur, and has since brought in over 6,300 followers from many different walks of life. 
    theblacksikhcollective A post shared by ʙʟᴀᴄᴋ & ꜱɪᴋʜ (@theblacksikhcollective) As a way to mobilize this dialogue, they began with creating resources for their page, such as how to create a more inclusive Gurdwara. This included offering tips on how to help newcomers to Sikhi as well as questioning how open the space really is to minority groups within the faith, including those with language barriers.

    Bedding underage girls to test his chasteness? If that isn't one of the single most transparent ways to molest a young girl?

    Does vitamin D protect against Covid after all? Israeli study finds patients who are deficient are up to 14 TIMES more likely to fall severely ill 
    Researchers from Bar Ilan University in Ramat Gan, Israel, measured vitamin D levels in 253 Covid patients. Those with deficiencies were found to be up to 14 times more likely to get severe Covid.

    If you've been looking at a topic for a bit, a lot of videos have redundant info you've encountered umpteen times previously. That's when speeding can help, also if the presenter's delivery is on the 'relaxed side' and you're in a learning frame of mind. lol

    Campus News  Adam Ricardo Solis  Oct 05, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmailSMSMore The Fresno State Ethics Center, in collaboration with agriculture business department chair and program coordinator Srinivasa Konduru, hosted the 152nd birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi at the Fresno State Peace Garden on Saturday, Oct. 2.
    “He was the person that brought out the awareness that human beings are very important on this planet, and that they have to take care of this planet. And now our university also stands for those values,” said Sudarshan Kapoor, professor emeritus and founder of Fresno State’s peace and conflict studies program.
    Xuanning Fu, interim provost and vice president for academic affairs, spoke on behalf of President Saúl Jiménez-Sandoval, who was unable to attend the celebration. 
    Fu presented the president’s proclamation on making Oct. 2-9 a week to “Stop the Hate, Stop the Violence: Build a Culture of Peace Commemoration” and how those attending represented diversity.
    “Your presence here today demonstrates that areas of diversity truly is our strength,” Fu said. 
    Kapoor led the discussion on the influence he hopes the Peace Garden has on campus. He said paying tribute to Gandhi pays tribute to humanity.
    Fresno State is unique among other uni
    iversities because the statues of individuals chosen to represent the Peace Garden aren’t represented together on any other campus as they are here, Kapoor said.
    “There is no other campus, no other place here where there are statues of Gandhi, Dr. [Martin Luther] King, Ceasar Chavez at work and we wanted to create that kind of feeling here for our student body population and see what they have done,” Kapoor said.
    “Our values of the university and the values that Gandhi promoted are the same so that’s why actually I think that having this kind of a message shared with the students and the community and inviting them is important.” 
    Kapoor also said that he feels that these types of celebrations are important for the community and students at the university because it helps them remember who these people were and what they stood for.
    “I feel that these celebrations bring out a message and awareness so that people don’t forget who these people are, or were, and what they did for us. They sacrificed their lives, and they did all the things that they did just for the benefit of our present generation,” Kapoor said.
    Kapoor reflected on the influence and inspiration the Peace Garden brings him. He said he hopes to add a statue in honor of the Native American community and wishes to involve the Native American community on the project later in the future. 
    Monish Gowda Nagaraj, a senior majoring in computer science, said the principle of non-violence is something he hopes everyone takes away from the celebration and thinks that Jiménez-Sandoval’s proclamation is a proper way of spreading the principles of Gandhi across campus. 
    Sharing his experience as a student from India, Nagaraj said he feels he has found a community on campus.
    “It would normally feel like we have been left out from the community here but it is not like that here in Fresno State. They’re quite supportive of us here. I feel like I’ve got my second family here,” Nagaraj said.
    Students from the peace and conflict studies program said it is important to continue to celebrate the accomplishments of Gandhi on campus as doing so every year will remind students that people still care.
    Nan Adams, a junior majoring in business administration, said celebrating Gandhi shows that the university really does care about Indian culture and is passionate about having the chance to speak about such a historical landmark on campus.
    “Not only is he a historical landmark, he is also a cultural landmark because he’s not just about human rights in a political sense but also in a cultural sense to the Indian community and the fact that we welcome people of all backgrounds here,” Adams said.
    Alex Walker, a senior majoring in political science, said that he hopes that when a student enters the Peace Garden, regardless of their background or beliefs, that they find someone among the statues there that resonates with them.
    “I think that this event brings the Peace Garden to life. Just like the other events when we celebrate Ceasar Chavez or Jane Addams, it shows that the Peace Garden isn’t just here and that it’s a lively event, that it’s a place where we can truly think about peace and reflect on ourselves,” Walker said.

    paapiman reacted to Premi in Soccer - who likes it ?   
    Seems quite a snobbish take on football/soccer. Footballer generally are from lower class backgrounds compared with the other sports. Also, how many tennis players are there compared to footballers?!
    The other sports have their own issues and probably have covered up better . 
    Recent rugby case:

    Footballers generally would have less alternative career options than those in the other sports who likely have/had better education and connections.

      A former England rugby union player has been arrested on suspicion of the rape of a teenager.
    A Greater Manchester Police spokesman issued a statement on Wednesday morning following reports of an incident at a nightclub in the city which stated: “Officers were called shortly before 11am on Sunday 9 January 2022 to a report of a sexual assault on a female on Thorpeness Square in Manchester.
     
    “A woman in her late teens was reported to have been sexually assaulted. She is currently being supported by specialist officers. A man was arrested on suspicion of rape and a 41-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of administering a substance with intent to cause a sexual offence.

    Mate, you asked a question about football. It seems like no one is really likes it here? Personally,  I don't want to go on a Sikh forum and have to hear about football myself because I think the culture around it is frequently toxic and racist.
    When I meet apnay who get all excited at football, wear the tops, and can reel of players names and whatnot, it always makes me raise an eyebrow. I think they are more than half way into the assimilation process.

    Don't think people of her parents' generation likely knew much about that sort of culture ?
    The men mainly would have worked in laboring jobs where there were only males, and the women if they worked in all-women factories also ?
    So these second gen women would have learned the culture first hand working with gore (and/or at school)

    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. 
     
    @GurjantGnostic
    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.
