    Widow, 78, facing deportation to country where she'll 'die an invisible person'

    Gurmit Kaur, from Smethwick, faces deportation to India after the Home Office rejected her latest appeal

    A 78-year old widow facing deportation to a country where she ‘knows no one’ and fears she will die ‘an invisible person’. Gurmit Kaur, from Smethwick, could spend the rest of her life alone after the Home Office rejected her latest appeal to stay in the UK.

    Gurmit Kaur, originally from India, arrived in the UK to attend a wedding in 2009 and settled in Sandwell where she volunteers in the community and at her local foodbank. More than 60,000 people had backed the Sikh woman's bid to stay in Britain in 2020 - but the latest Home Office ruling puts her future in limbo.

    Gurmit was previously told that her voluntary work proved she was ‘fit and well’ enough to be sent back to India, and that she must leave voluntarily or face deportation. Kaur appealed the decision arguing she has ‘no home to return to’ in India, but the latest Home Office ruling states she ‘does still have contact with people’ and she would be capable of reintegrating to life in the country.

    Speaking to BirminghamLive, Kaur has said she was ‘extremely upset’ at the decision. “I am so upset,” she said. “I have no one to look after me there - I don’t know what I am going to do. I will die as an invisible person.”

    While the Home Office accepted that Kaur had ‘built up a private life’ in the UK, it ruled that there were no ‘significant obstacles’ to her reintegration in India, given that she spent the majority of her life in the country and still speaks Punjabi. Kaur, however, said she had ‘no friends or family’ to care for her in the country and considers Smethwick her ‘true home.’

    Salman Mirza, Gurmit's caseworker from refugee and migrant group Brushstrokes, slammed the ‘bizarre’ decision. He said: “How can you tell an elderly lady who is well loved in the community, and who volunteers at her local food bank, that people she hasn’t seen in 11 years can house and look after her?”

    The campaign #WeAreAllGurmit was launched in 2020 calling for Kaur to be granted indefinite leave to remain. Campaigners say she is a victim of hostile environment measures put in place by successive governments to clamp down on illegal immigration.

    Nazek Ramadan, Director of Migrant Voice, previously said: “We’re standing with Gurmit Kaur because, like so many undocumented migrants in the UK, this country is her home and she’s a deeply valued member of her community.

    “We urge the Home Office to regularise her status, and that of all undocumented migrants in the UK, so that she and thousands like her can live without fear of being detained and deported, and protect themselves and their families, especially during this pandemic.”

    A spokesperson for the Home Office said: “All applications are carefully considered on their individual merits and on the basis of the evidence provided.”

    Wow. Seva means you're healthy enough to go...so if she was burden...how backwards...boooo

    U.S. prosecutors allege assassination plot of Sikh separatist directed by Indian government employee

    An Indian government employee who described himself as a “senior field officer” responsible for intelligence ordered the assassination of a Sikh separatist in New York City in May, U.S. prosecutors alleged Wednesday. The court filing heightens scrutiny of India’s spy services following similar allegations made by Canadian authorities in September.

     

    The government employee, who was not named in the indictment filed in a federal court in Manhattan, recruited an Indian national named Nikhil Gupta to hire a hit man to carry out the assassination, which was foiled by U.S. authorities, according to prosecutors.

    The court filing did not name the victim, but senior Biden administration officials say the target was Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, general counsel for the New York-based Sikhs for Justice, a group that advocates the creation of an independent Sikh state called Khalistan within India.

    The scheme was foiled in June by the Drug Enforcement Administration, according to people familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the matter’s sensitivity.

    ...

    CIA Director William J. Burns flew to India in August and Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines followed in October, said the officials, who like others interviewed for this story spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the matter’s sensitivity.

     
    The Justice Department said Wednesday that the unnamed Indian government employee agreed, in a deal brokered by Gupta, to pay $100,000 to a purported hit man who was in fact an undercover U.S. law enforcement officer. On June 19, one day after Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar was assassinated in Canada, Gupta told the purported hit man to proceed with the New York murder, explaining that both Sikhs were on the same list of targets, U.S. prosecutors said.

    ...

    The charges against Gupta, who was arrested in the Czech Republic in late June pending extradition to the United States, build on a bare-bones indictment, filed in mid-June and unsealed in July. That filing alleged that Gupta coordinated a $15,000 advance payment to the purported hit man’s associate.

    ...

     

    The indictment contains chilling details, alleging that the Indian government employee and Gupta had a sweeping plan to kill “so many targets,” as Gupta put it, in Canada and the United States. The operations would be directed from India. Besides the target in New York, at least one other was in California and three were in Canada, according to the filing.

    Prosecutors reference the killing of Nijjar in Canada. On June 12, on a call with a DEA informant, Gupta stated that there was a “big target” in Canada, the indictment says. On June 18, masked gunmen murdered Nijjar outside a Sikh temple in British Columbia, the indictment noted

    There are times when one can truly love America.

    You'll be calling out to the 1 Creator God above all else by his attributes as given in Gurbani. 

    If you do this sincerely, you will have done this sincerely. 

    Although some of the brothers who do massive Jaaps I'm sure have some pointers.

    Naam - any name of God like Waheguru, Ram, Krishna, Radha etc . Parmatma has countless names.

    Naam di daat- you need to beat your bad karma with naam simran abhiyaas in order to get this, (this is my story). I am trying naam simran as bhagti da seed is in my heart but there is tsunami of bad deeds which is not letting me progress. Naam di daat parmatma Di mehar naal mildi aa. 

    Naam simran- repeating Waheguru Waheguru verbally loudly and then listening with your ears is the first stage. Doesn’t matter if you could focus or not, carry on doing it. 
     

    Naam simran and Gurmantar -not sure, but I think in Sikhism yes. 
     

    Naam, Gurmantar and Gur ka Shabad- I may be wrong in explaining this, better to wait for the correct answer from gurmukh. 
     

    Bhul Chuk Maaf ! I am just a beginner who is failing but trying , not trying my best these days due to kalyug, but love to follow GURU Diya teachings. 
     

    ONE THING I CAN SAY SURELY, NAAM SIMRAN IS THE ONLY KEY TO PARMATMA. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY. 

    Ram the Devi Devte for example is named for the Naam Mantar he was to deliver. 

    Ram is a Devi Devte and a Naam for 1, but these Rams are not the Same. 

    Is Krishna a Naam for 1 or just a Devi Devte?

    Can someone please help me understand these terms ? there's lot of subtlety here which daas struggles to understand.

    1) Naam (ਨਾਮ),

    2) Naam di Daat (ਨਾਮ ਦੀ ਦਾਤ), 

    3) Naam Japna (ਨਾਮ ਜਪਣਾ),

    4) Is naam japna and Gurmantar abhyaas same ?

    5) Difference in Naam, Gurmantar and Gur ka Shabad

    Naam any Name for 1. Goes far betond any tradition, language, culture, planet, universe. The amount of Naam are countless. But they are all in reference to Vaheguru Akal Purakh. 

    Naam Jaapna is saying it. 

    Daat not sure, gift of Naam?

    Gurmantar is when you Jaap Sat Naam given by Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Vaheguru. 

    Naam, name for God, Gurmantar,  Vaheguru, Gur Ku Shabad Reciting Gurbani which is a form of Naam as well. 

    We are instructed to contemplate, meditate, recite, surrender to Naam until it is 24hrs a day even in sleep. One could never recite Gurbani if it was not also Naam.

    You would surely get the blessings as you are giving with good intention. 


    I have observed  homeless drug addicts closely on daily basis due to my job role, they buy street drugs with the money and go to food bank for their food needs. Often, kind passer-by gave them food and clothes which they usually lost when high on drugs. Most of them are drug addicts but couldn’t help themselves getting out of drug habit. 
     

    I am always respectful and kind to them, listen to them if they wanted to share anything or having a bad day but don’t like giving them money. 

    I feel VERY SORRY for them but I personally think giving them money is not beneficial for their well-being.  

    I may be wrong veerji, but wanted to share this with you. Bhul Chuk Maaf!

    You can die from alcohol withdrawl. I understand your sentiment. For me personally I don't mind my change goes to a drug, that they can't change anything about using yet, so they can live one more day and pray Akal changes them when they pray for change. 

    But that's a personal thought. It's excellent you connect with them. 

  7. Everything God made has a purpose if not many.

    Hemp is one of those things that has so many uses that it's clearly made by God for us to use. 

    It's good in every way. 

    Good for appetite.

    Now when wild boar come to destroy your crop, and those of simple people around you that feeds, clothes, fuels, builds and finances their life, it is clearly the will of the Lord we eat them to save everyone from them. And do something while ire to take care of the munchies.

    Hello. What do you mean by Islamophobic? Were the Mughals friends of Sikhs? Were Nadir Shah and Ahmed Abdali friends of Sikhs? Were those Muslims who wanted Pakistan friends of Sikhs?

    Which extremism are you talking of ?!

    Who calls who kufar?

    I was actually shocked when sikhs were showing to be very islamophobic.Also,please don't judge us with those raafidhis.Those raafidhis are not muslim,rather they are majusi extremist.Iran is the largest exporter of international terrorism.Also sharia contains all forms of law,both penal and jurisprudence. Islam and all divinely revealed religion condemns all forms of immorality except liberalism.The reason why adulterers,fornicators,homosexuals are penalised is because of the threat they pose spiritually and physically.Just look at western civilization,even they agree adultery had negative effect on their life.Also apostates are punished,in order to deter breaking up,apostasy and lost of faith among muslim community.Even then,apostate are provided opportunity to revert back to religion,and even provided all sorts of facilities.Strict punishment in Shariah to for deterrence.Also this is ridiculous to justify the killing of Hazrat Hussein at the hands of yazid.And also, Ayesha siddhique (ra) was innocent and she was falsely accused.Thats why four witness is necessary so that accuracy is maintained,and innocent must not be targeted. If you still hate muslims,then see what your kings,gurus and even your extremist has committed extremism defaming your own community.

    Are muslims Sikhphobes?

    What did we say islamaphobic?

    Love my Akhis but one don't play bs. We don't agree with Islam brother. Simple as that. 

    Our history is perfect essentially.
