his surname was Chhina not cheema. Which can also be baba avtar singh's name and not chimba

Ok, so an incident happened last week in the Brunel University  2019 Sikh Society Whatsapp group.
Some Singhs posted this petition against halal in schools https://www.change.org/p/boris-johnson-stop-halal-meat-in-school-children-shouldnt-eat-slaughter-religious-meat-in-schools?recruiter=false&utm_source=share_petition&utm_campaign=psf_combo_share_initial&utm_medium=whatsapp&utm_content=washarecopy_19889602_en-GB%3Av3&recruited_by_id=ba2a1040-95cb-11ea-a83e-17d9f83f095a
 
Both Singhs got kicked out of the group. I started a discussion about this being a bujjar kurahit. Everyone from monay to some group admins started on me. One group admin Singh said this years' sikh society is for oneness and that uni is multicultural, and we shouldn't discuss these things. One admin even went as far as saying 'Meat is Meat' whether halal or not.  Anyway after some discussion I was disappointed, there were a few people that also agreed with me. But I can't believe these uni students were behaving as cucks. Some people were saying we were belittling another religion because of this petition?!
Such is the state of uni sikh societies, it seems they will not support other sikhs who don't want to eat halal.

this trial was stopped years ago. the Southall McDonald's hasn't been halal for a long time.
I have always been curious of what helped them to come to the decision. Were they losing lots of sikh customers for example?
 

please make sure you use lockdown to learn gurmukhi.
reading in gurbani roman script is really really hard. it's difficult to know how to pronounce something when written in roman.

it is not addictive. I have tried CBD oil. I actually forget to take it and it's already expired gone out of date. I got a 2nd one for a penny at the penny sale. I am trying to get my mum and dad to take it to help them.
It is THQ which is addictive and gives you a high. This CBD is safe. I have the 5% one from Holland & Barratt, I haven't felt any effects.
 
With regards to chocolate, I have more or less quit Milk Chocolate. I have moved onto Dark Chocolate for years now. You start off with regular plain or dark chocolate. Then slowly move onto 60% and then 70%. Some people move onto the higher levels, I usually have 80% bars around as well. Actually I think dark chocolate can help with migraines as well.
However due to my allergies such as Hayfever, I have to try and cut down dark choc during summer as it is a Histamine.
 
Maybe after lockdown you should get a test for allergies and intolerances, it could help?

maybe try to reduce the fizzy drinks.
 
or at least drink ones that are sugar free. 
I would advise replacing them with something like Squash such as Robinsons.
Also maybe reduce the drinks that contain the Caffeine.
 
I think the headaches could be related to coming down from the rush from caffeine and sugar....
 
Try replacing the sugar with Gurh or other unrefined sugars.
 
Since it is lockdown, just don't buy or order anything that contains sugar or caffeine. If it is not near you, you will not be tempted...
 
I saw the post about CBD, I saw that they sell it online at Boots as well.
I think you have to take it a few times a day. I think the part of the plant or leaf that Nihang Singhs use for Shaheedi Degh may be CBD related as well. 
Anyway we know CBD is kind of panth approved LOL

Are you all sleeping enough and taking enough naps?
If I feel head pain coming around, normally going for a rest like a nap or sleeping really helps. Don't go for the caffeine straight away for tiredness, it's important to rest.
I think for these migraine situations it's important to get an additional nap additionally to normal sleep. Some people do biphasic sleep which used to be normal not too long ago. 
Also try to keep hydrated, which I am always forgetting about now that I am at home during lockdown.

@KIRNY25 did you even visit the forum after posting?
 
I just don't understand why it's hard for sikh women to keep their hair, when just a few decades ago most sikh women did keep their hair even if they were married to mona men. Actually a few decades ago, most sikh families saw it as freaky for women to cut their hair.

Sat Sri Akaal Kirny and welcome to this forum.
I am not an expert on this subject or Sikhi for that matter but since you asked for thoughts I'll give you my 2cents.
It seems like you have crossed the Rubicon by taking the decision to cut your hair knowing very well the consequences.On a psychological level you wanted to test your husband and gauge his reaction to you disobeying him. No one here can tell you whether you did the right or wrong thing. It just seems like guilt has taken over and you are looking for others to legitimize your actions. Only you can decide what you did was right or wrong according to your circumstances.
I disagree with this mentality. Picking and choosing when it comes to religion.Just because you don't do it or don't follow it,doesn't mean it has no value.I don't think we have the right to change Sikhi to fit our lifestyle,instead it should be the other way around.If you don't wish to keep it, fine, but you now don't have the right to demean and re-interpret Sikhi to fit your view and lifestyle.I agree that Sikhi is not all about hair,but hair has been a very big part of Sikhi,our ancestors and great martyrs were willing to die rather than cut their hair. And not to forget,It was Guruji Dasmesh Paatshahs Hukam that we keep our hair.I think thats enough for me.
Well beauty is subjective.Everyone wishes to look good.I think I've found the gist of your problem here. You don't feel pretty with uncut hair.You have decided to stop pleasing people.But you want others to accept you.So basically you want to impose your will on others and this whole post is just a lot of justifications for your actions.But you don't accept it when they impose their will on you.You don't like it.You feel trapped right?So it's a battle of egos.Only 1 will win if no compromise is made.Worst case scenario,one party gets fed up and walks away.
Welcome to reality,totally different from Bollywood "reality" eh? This is your family's fault for filling your head with nonsense.What does "you can do whatever you want after marriage mean"?Where does it end this you can do "anything"?If you got married in an Indian household it would be much the same as yours,same rules & regulations.You decided to get married.This is what an Indian marriage is as far as I am aware of.
Conclusion.
What happened to this?Any LOVE left? If there is then you should keep on going trying to mend things.What do you really want now? You can't force others. You don't want others to force you.You want to be free and Stop pleasing people. So either you suck it up and listen to your husband or they suck it up and listen to you or worst case scenario both of you can suck it up and listen to a Divorce Attorney.The choice is yours.I wish you and your Husband all the best and hopefully things work out for you guys.Again,I'm not an expert but since you asked and I have some spare time,here you go.

If we don't follow shaster/ashter aspects of our dharam, expect more of this. Even if we do what I'm suggesting, we'll still have this, the only difference will be the opportunity to die like men and not sitting, pacifist ducks. 

ok I am also creating a separate subreddit forum for uk sikhs, I will make a separate thread to poll for a name.
 
yes that's probably r/sikh subreddit which I do not moderate. We will 100% not have this issue with r/sikhawareness LOL

I am no expert, this is not my personal gyan, I am only going to relay what I have heard in response to similar questions like yours. When that happens  Do not put pressure or strain your eyelids, relax your eyes, or open them if it gets worse.  Do sehaj simran and focus on the sound of Gurmantra. That happens when your awareness goes on certain Nadis in your body. I too suffer from motion sickness and experience the same thing while taking off or landing in planes. 

Started a subreddit for sikhawareness a while back.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Sikhawareness
Since I don't really have the time, I really need some members to help me out.
 
So the aim of the subreddit is to showcase content from Sikh Awareness onto Reddit. Reddit just has so many members globally, so it's an excellent place to learn about sikhi.
Please let me know whoever can help, I am also available on Reddit with the same username as here.
 
Also let me know if anyone has ideas on contributing to a subreddit for uk sikhs, I think there is one needed urgently!

you definitely should, it will change your whole perspective.
The more you learn gurmukhi, the more you will see how illogical and unedcuated the way spellings are done for English language, they don't even make full use of the resources of symbols and characters to spell, that's how dumbed down and unintelligible it is!

yes. maybe we should post resources like smartphone apps and Youtube videos, etc...

who chooses the panj piyaray, and how do we know they are not playing dress-up bana, ie they just wear the bana and shastar but have no training and therefore are not really following rehit anyway?

Saw this online today on social media and i was really happy reading this article as it is really rare to hear about such gurmukhs in todays kalyug

so who will be the new jathedaar of the baba Surjit Singh lineage?
Was the accident part of a conspiracy?
