This also applies to Sikhs

So many parallels with Punjab. For instance the destruction of our indigenous culture and language by British colonials. The massive amount of missionary schools that are converting Sikhs, that no one is talking about. That fact there are no history books written that expose the impact of colonialism on Sikhs. Biggest land owner in India is the church that got slltjis land by the British colonialist to convert the people. 4, 5 indian states are majority Christian.

In Canada, the Indian residential school system[nb 1] was a network of boarding schools for Indigenous peoples[nb 2] which amounted to cultural genocide. The network was funded by the Canadian government's Department of Indian Affairs and administered by Christian churches. The school system was created to isolate Indigenous children from the influence of their own native culture and religion in order to assimilate them into the dominant Canadian culture.[3][4][5]: 42 [6] Over the course of the system's more than hundred-year existence, around 150,000 children were placed in residential schools nationally.[7]: 2–3  By the 1930s about 30 percent of Indigenous children were believed to be attending residential schools.[8] The number of school-related deaths remains unknown due to incomplete records. Estimates range from 3,200 to over 30,000 The residential school system harmed Indigenous children significantly by removing them from their families, depriving them of their ancestral languages. Students were also subjected to forced enfranchisement as "assimilated" citizens that removed their legal identity as Indians. Disconnected from their families and culture and forced to speak English or French, students who attended the residential school system often graduated being unable to fit into their communities but remaining subject to racist attitudes in mainstream Canadian society. The system ultimately proved successful in disrupting the transmission of Indigenous practices and beliefs across generations. The legacy of the system has been linked to an increased prevalence of post-traumatic stress, alcoholism, substance abuse, suicide, and intergenerational trauma which persist within Indigenous communities today.[15]

What does he think of Gurmat? Have you given him any katha cds/videos or Gurmat books to him and his family? Have you taken him to Gurdwara, what did he think or helped him financially?

Inner chatter during Simran The problem with succeeding in detaching oneself from this inner chatter lies in the fact that, firstly, one is generally so identified with it that it proves difficult to be able to see it in a tangible way and, secondly, there exists a strange phenomenon in human beings, which is that they feel lost without these inner preoccupations. They react as though their lives were going to be empty without this incessant activity within them. Given that they live in ignorance of the other aspect of their double nature, they are irresistibly driven to lose themselves in feverish activities (inwardly and outwardly), which they depend upon to give them the feeling and the assurance that they exist. They are afraid of letting go of anything at all within themselves for fear of no longer being able to recognize themselves. If one says to someone to let go of what he is inwardly ruminating upon, he might respond: “I cannot.” Should he not say instead: “I do not want to do so.”? Such “letting go” will inevitably create within him a void, which is the means allowing him to begin living outside time. However, if he finds himself suddenly confronted with the sentiment brought about by the fact of “living outside time”(a sensation that temporarily effaces his habitual state of being and his ordinary way of knowing himself), he feels lost, even afraid. As long as a seeker does not yet know within himself the “center of gravity” that he must turn towards to give meaning to his life and to be able to stop the disordered manifestations of his mind, he will inevitably remain weak. As he will not be able to succeed in being, so to speak, “gathered” within himself, his energies will, despite himself, be scattered in all directions. Once inner chatter has begun and the aspirant has given it credit and identified with it, if he tries to detach himself from it in order to put an end to it, something within him will obstinately refuse, insisting on first finishing what he is occupied in recounting to himself before consenting to let go. However, this uncontrolled process taking place within him will not stop at this stage. Indeed, unless he is wise enough to apprehend the long-term damage this involuntary discourse can cause within his being and try to put an end to it without any further delay, he will want to begin his monologue again in order to add an extra detail to what he initially wanted to say, something he thinks he has forgotten … and this will continue interminably. By examining himself attentively, perhaps he will discover that most of this inner chatter (which is frequently associated with all sorts of imaginings) proves not only chimerical, aimless, and futile, but is also very often an attempt at justification designed to soothe a feeling of conscious or unconscious guilt resulting from a thoughtless action or word—a justification that may bear no relation to reality or the original situation. Perhaps the seeker does not realize, at the beginning, what such a spiritual adventure involves by way of work and tenacious self-study, which are necessary to allow him to advance steadfastly in this difficult inner journey towards the Celestial Aspect of his double nature. So as to be able to free himself of these harmful obstacles that he encounters within him, he needs, at the beginning, to have some supports that he can lean on and, among these various supports, he can use the Nada (that particular sound that is audible inside the ears and the head, to which reference has previously been made) to shield himself from these undesirable voices within him. * * * Through in-depth self-study, the aspirant will come to see not only the futility of this inner chatter, but also its often negative character. Indeed, when he finds himself in the situation in or the presence of the person he imagined when these inner commentaries were taking place within him, he will discover, too late, that the action or the discourse he had prepared no longer corresponds to the reality of the moment and would even cause him problems subsequently if he persisted in wanting to implement it. If this inner chatter is about negative subjects, it may, if someone yields to it continually, become a self-destructive obsession (such as may be seen quite often in old people) and a source of suffering for him as well as for those who share his life or who work with him and who, in an ordinarily mysterious and incomprehensible way, are affected by the most intense thoughts and feelings he may secretly carry within him at a given moment.

Didn't you write Punjabi lessons for beginners? Do you have link to them?

Yes, please do Dont know why it would be arrogant to collect all your work and put it in one place for easy access?

It seems all your works books/short stories/articles/audios are scattered on different websites. It might be good to have all the links to your work on one page. By the way listened to the audio book of yours you posted. It was easy to understand and created a good scene with the way you used Punjabi words.

Great idea. Will you have these discussions only on facebook or also on this forum. It seems the internet has given a big boost to Punjabi literature. Sites that host Punjabi literature old and new get alot of readers. People generally have better access to Punjabi books now. Dass tried to get a Punjabi section going on this forum but seems like people were not interested. Maybe, we can try again.

Indian muscle control FREAKS?

You totally missed what dass was saying. Your making this only about jaat but the fact is jaat is only one component there are other factors that you should take into account like Gurdwara Politics (committee infighting) Ignorance of people People taking advantage of people. In the previous topic. You posted a video of farmer having someone who he made to work for free. The farmer was clearly taking advantage of that poor person. Thank Waheguru that people informed the sikh organization who got him out of that bad situation. This didn't have anything to do with jaat. Dass is trying to say dont make everything into jaat issue. When sometimes it isn't. Just like how feminists make everything into men vs women. Or other people black vs white. You dont get to the truth of the matter by putting everything under a generic term. Everything should be separated and classified according to its correct category.

Be skeptical of these conversion stories. Hugh amount of money is coming from western countries to convert them to Christian's. Also, Christian groups have been studying dharmic Faith's to find weakness to convert. There was a story that one Christian college had 9 professors that specialize in hinduism. Studying each sampradays to find how to convert them easily. Books have written on how to convert Sikhs easily. Saying that Sikhs are the easiest to convert because they lack any identity. That's why the biggest growth is happening in punjab. Already 4 states in india are Christian majority.

Dalit Christians accuse Indian Church of discrimination A group of Dalit Christians in India's Tamil Nadu state have staged a protest ahead of the consecration of Bishop Arulselvam Rayappan in Salem. The July 23 protest, organized by the Dalit Christian Liberation Movement (DCLM) in front of the District Collector’s Office in Salem, condemned the "untouchability" practiced in the country, particularly in Tamil Nadu. More than 100 protesters also met the district collector and presented a memorandum complaining about the caste discrimination against Dalits in the Catholic Church. They urged the government of Tamil Nadu and the federal government to take action to end discrimination against Dalit Christians. “We have taken to the streets as our repeated demand to appoint bishops of Dalit origin in Tamil Nadu have failed. Our plight remains unheard and ignored by the hierarchy of the Catholic Church,” Mary John, president of the DCLM, told UCA News. “We want the consecration of the new bishop, Arulselvam Rayappan, in Salem scheduled for Aug. 4 to be stopped until a Dalit archbishop and bishops are appointed in the remaining vacancies in Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry. The protesters demand Bishop Peter Abir of Sultanpet, the apostolic administrator of Pondicherry-Cuddalore Archdiocese, go back to his diocese. “Nepotism and discrimination are happening, particularly in Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry, where only non-Dalit bishops and archbishops have been appointed during the past 15 years. “There is only one Dalit bishop in the 18 Catholic dioceses in the region even though Dalits comprise about 75 percent of the Catholics here, making their representation negligible. This situation has continued for decades.” The protesters also appealed to Pope Francis to intervene to end caste discrimination in the Indian Church. The DCLM has been raising this issue for the past three decades with numerous letters and appeals to the Indian Catholic hierarchy and apostolic nuncios. “We have been also constantly making representations to the Vatican. We took to public protests to show our agony and anger, hoping to raise the consciousness of the Church over caste injustice,” John said. “During the past one year especially, we have staged more concerted public protests and street rallies because we realized that our silence, pious hope and prayerful appeals for decades have only been defeated. With all this we hoped that at least now our demand would be met with sensitivity and sensibility." Bishop Sebastianappan Singaroyan of Salem told UCA News that “we came to know through the local newspaper that there was a small group protesting at the district collector’s office but more than that we have no other information.” Father L. Sahayaraj, deputy secretary of the Tamil Nadu Bishops’ Council, told UCA News that he was not aware of any protest. Regarding the Dalit Christian issue, he said: “I have nothing to say on that subject.”
