I think I was pretty thick and naive when I was a kid and visiting Punjab, because all the chalak kids always cheated me. Later on in life I learned about their chalak-ness.

Amritsar, Jun 17 (PTI) The body of a 23-year-old youth, who was killed in London, was today cremated by his family members as per Sikh rituals at a village in Tarn Taran district. The body of Harjit Singh Nijjar was brought to Kalha village, nearly 40 km from Amritsar, with the help of some NRIs who collected funds to send it to India. Wassan Singh, father of the deceased, claimed that his son was a victim of racial attack. "The four British nationals, including two women, came to the residence of Harjit located at Spikes Bridge Road House-15, South Hall," he said. "Harjit was then attacked by a 30-year-old man and two girls while he was taking rest in his home. They called him out from the home and attacked with a sharp article after which he died on the spot," Wassan claimed. The victim''s father informed that the trio was nabbed by London Police. But the girls were freed of charges and the man, identified as Saqib Asif Khan, was taken into custody. The family members of Harjit Singh revealed that two London police inspectors had apprised the family about the death of Harjit. Both are in touch with the family about the subsequent developments in Harjit''s murder case, Wassan said. "The British government had demanded 6,000 pounds to send the body here. We were unable to gather the amount for transporting the body... Even Punjab government failed to help us," a distraught Wassan claimed. When the issue was raised by a section of media, some NRIs responded to the call and collected funds to help us, he said. Harjit had gone to England on study basis a year back. He was a student of management technology in Business Academy, London, Wassan said. Earlier, Jasbir Kaur gave a tearful adieu to her son along with rest of the family and villagers. The family members expressed their resentment against politicians who did not helped the family bring back the body home. http://in.news.yahoo.com/youth-killed-uk-cremated-punjab-village-150100296.html

Lol Me fasting? You must be nuts. I can't fast for an hour, let alone a whole day!

Ssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

LOL @ your comment about Coca-Cola. Btw I'm not an addict (yet!)

On http://www.youtube.com/sikhinspiration it says: That is, if you live in the UK.

To all you vegetarians out there, what do you do when you are at other people's (vegetarians) houses and they serve you food that you find questionable, meaning that the biscuits or the chocolates or other food that they serve you might contain egg, gelatine or other animal ingredients? Should one ask if the food contains egg or other animal ingredients, or do you just have faith in your fellow vegetarians and just assume there's no animal ingredients in the food? I'm asking because I was offered some candy at vegetarian friend's house, I asked her if there was gelatine in it and she said no, then I took the bag and read the ingredients list and it had gelatine in it. She got quite embarrassed and I got kinda embarrassed too, but then again I just asked her and it showed that she didn't check the ingredients list. I've also tried it in the Gurdwara and at other people's houses and I'd like to know where you as a vegetarian think we should draw the line? I think it's important not to hurt other people regarding their food, but is it our farj to ask or should you assume that there are no animal ingredients in the food?

Could you tell me what you would have said if you was going to be rude and personal on a discussion forum?

National Geographic had some very informative, interesting, eye-opening articles about the Indian caste system back in 2003. I read them in the non-English versions of the magazine, it's a shame all of them aren't online but I found these: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0306/feature1/ http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2003/06/0602_030602_untouchables.html http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/features/world/asia/india/untouchables-text/1

Yeah, can you believe it? I'm getting married when I'm 18 and then my life's gonna be so good, so I've been told Duhh! Hahah 16 I wish! I'm 26.

Suryadev, the day you get hanged... I mean married you will understand that men aren't capable of understanding women, just like this quote says: “To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a little. To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.”

I will have to think about that and let you know if other things comes up.

Dal, what happened to you? Are you okay? I'm surprised something like that came from you

I'm not an ambassador, I'm a female prophet who have conversations with God everyday so I know exactly who are His gift's to mankind and who isn't. P.s before you attack me like you did yesterday, please notice the irony this time.

Why do you think Chamars and other people from low-caste backgrounds want to be separate from other Sikhs and have their own kaum? How do they get treated in India and outside India? People look down on them, treat them like they are some shit on the streets, they get beaten up for sharing the same water tap with high-caste people, if they date high caste people they will throw acid on their faces and body, they get raped, killed, no one wants to eat in the same room with them, no other castes want to marry them... The list goes on. So don't you understand why they want to be a separate kaum? Have you seen these video's on the caste system in India? http://www.youtube.com/user/IndiaUntouched#p/u 'Untouchable' woman dies after Indian medics refuse treatment http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5jcMJnBZX1buykuSncrG1Q6M0Aq9g Talking about Giaan, aren't we as Sikhs supposed to follow and practice Sikhism and the words of our Gurus who constantly said no man should be proud of his caste? There are several Shabads about caste, and I don't think I need to post them.

No, I don't know you and thank God for that, and I think we all know who is God's gift to mankind and who isn't... Let's just say, you aren't one of them.

I have yet to meet a chura, chamar, chir who is proudly saying "I'm a chamar, I'm so proud of my caste, my culture, my background, I belong to a different race than you..." but I've seen several jatts with that attitude.

Oye you! I'm not addicted to any other poison than Coca-Cola, I can't help it! And why is it funny? Punjabis are addicted to chah, I really hate that so I have Coca-Cola instead, it's my chah

Noooooooooooooo don't take away my Coca-Cola, I love you so much!

Errr you don't have my e-mail address, remember? Dal, you're getting old.. The first signs of dementia perhaps?

HSD, have you considered giving an apology to kdsingh80?

Errr Dal thanks for dedicating a topic to me but did I miss something? My birthday is in September and I'm not a buddhi yet, I'm still sweet 16 :-) - Speak for yourself, lol - I Can't wait till I get my drivers licence in 2 years, yaaayyyyy P.s I listened to the song for 1½ minutes and then I had to turn off the sound! Couldn't you have found a better song, lol

So you don't call this rude and personal? HSD2, perhaps it's you who should work with your ego and stop acting like one of those blokes from the UK who think they're God's gift to mankind!

I'm surprised you didn't notice the irony in my post about shooting you and dal.
