  1. "Southall is in England. English law applies. You can't stop anyone smoking and holding a nishan sahib if they want to. Don't set yourself up as a religious policeman (your post walks a thin line). You don't have to like it. You have to live with it or face the consequences. " a quote from bruce lung. veer ji it is my right to call someone's mum a '(mod-cut)' ....is it not?? it also isn't really against the law. but i wouldn't do it.......simply out of RESPECT. sorry...don't mean to cause offence. harpreet kaur chahal p.s any of my brothers wanna borrow my churian (bangles) for this vaisakhi?? lets not defend what is wrong. lets not stop or criticise people from trying to stop wrong.
  2. A CALL TO SIKH YOUTH In recent years Southall and Handsworth, amongst other areas, have become places where `Sikh' youth have gathered to celebrate Vaisakhi. At some point over the years it became `acceptable' to partake in very anti-sikh activities on such an auspicious occasion. Drinking and smoking whilst waving a Nishan Sahib have become commonplace. Such activities, are totally against the fundamental principles of Sikhi. This is an appeal to all Sikhs whether they be amritdhari, turbaned or non turbaned, to consider the implications of what they are doing. Many non-Sikhs now attend Southall because Vaisakhi has become a type of street carnival. Our sacred Khanda is worn by many non-Sikhs whilst they openly smoke, drink, ridicule and harass our sisters. They adorn their cars with our Khanda and taunt young girls, however, they go unnoticed because our brothers are doing the same! The non-Sikhs attending the `celebrations' are aware that their actions are detrimental to Sikhism, so why do we as Sikhs not realise the magnitude of our actions? We should be stopping non-Sikhs from making a mockery of Vaisakhi rather than doing the same ourselves. Our religion is so rich - let us not forget that and give it the respect that it deserves for today, Vaisakhi and always. In short, this is a plea to all Sikh brothers and sisters to refrain from drinking, smoking and dancing in the streets at Vaisakhi. For at least one day a year lets stand together and actually stand up against non-Sikhs who infiltrate us on such days and make a mockery of our history and religion. PLEASE FORWARD TO ALL SIKHS.
