    yeah fr, I don't rate it but chalo they were brought up like that. don't know if they'll let their minds be changed now.

    When you say I should conceal it, can't only quite small weapons be concealed? What do you recommend from the cold steel website paaji

    Also doesn't iron have a very special spiritual significance? idk what it is but ive read that iron kareh used to be used to f= off black magic (nihungnama)

     

    I think minds may change over the next few generations when people grow up with their real ithihaas instead of the colonial version.

     

    No, please don't be another Singh carrying but ultimately unwilling to use if worse comes to worse. Otherwise to me, it just comes across as some sort of attention seeking. Note the point I made in the last post about young people having weapons on them and not being averse to using them on street level in many urban areas. It's up to you to find the right size that can be functional as well as inconspicuous. I like karambits, but ultimately you have to check shasters for how they feel in your hand; do they feel solid and sturdy, can you get a good grip, do they feel balanced in your hands, is the weight right - these things will vary from person to person.  

    Steel i.e. sarbloh, which is an alloy is considered  sacred (not pure iron, or cast iron, which is very brittle and can break very easily). I think it is because of the use of the sarbloh during dasam pita's earthly time to highlight Waheguru's power and potential destructive energy against dushts/daints/asuras. Also because weaponry is made from steel and allows us to protect ourselves and our dharam. I've never heard of iron or steel being used like you are saying as a talisman against black magic, but then I've not read nihungnama.

    also under Guru GOBIND Singh Jis wishes, am I right in saying 12" minimum?

    No you're not right. I've never come across anything where Guru ji specifies the length of the shasters.  

     

    There is information in the latter part of this thread that helps shed light on the matter of shasters and dasmesh pita:

     

    And you really need to be careful carrying a functional shaster in open view in public. I don't know where you are in the UK, but where I am, very young youths routinely carry concealed knives, and some aren't remotely averse to actually using them when they feel it is required. So you openly carrying like that could be seen as a challenge to someone like that.

    Not for someone like me. I’m ineligible.    Nor am I scared. Canada would be the last to go. It will start from Europe as always. 

    The goreh far right is on another level in terms of money, manpower, brains and tech. 

    Yeah, but there is also experience with dealing with the far right, head on at street level here. They are like all bullies, when they get f**ked hard they crawl under a rock and find other more vulnerable people to target.  

     

    This battle is inevitable, I believe it is God's planned dharam yudh for us.

    I have 3 rental properties in Toronto and have tried to help these students by helping them get jobs or not pay rent for a couple of months when they get stuck but their attitude has made me stop.

    Same when I meet some freshies at work, their attitude is appalling, and goray notice their treachery towards their own. You can go out of your way to help them, but they just take the piss even more when you do.  They must come from a a really backwards place.....

    I don’t know the full story. It’s possible she’s an agent from Pakistan or worst a suicide bomber. 
     

    There’s been a major increase of Muslim women returning to Hinduism over the last few years including some really famous ones. It’s starting to annoy and anger the mullahs. 

     

     

     

    Are you sure? I ain't seen that here in the UK. 

     

    I saw a few clips of her, she seems like a real good actress.

    • Trustee: Tirath Singh – Misused his position to rally support for a character reference used in the murder trial to defend his son, Sukhman Shergill.

     

    Oooookayyyyyy...................

    Pradjeet Veadhasa and Sukhman Shergill were targeting a boy over some money owed. They saw Ronan leave the house where their intended victim lived and believed he was the boy they were after.

    This doesn't make ANY sense. Bhangal said these two knew the victim from school, so how could they mistake him for someone else??

    In the us the laws are a bit sticky. 

    Can you carry a Kirpan yes.

    Can you carry any knife yes...

    Can you conceal a knife? No...

    Can you conceal an article of faith? Yes.

    When the blade shape changes, even though we understand it's Shastar Devi, to american cops that's now created a gray area...is it a kirpan?

    Fully support using cold steel battle ready weapons, and not tied to blade shape myself, just saying concealing weapons is a weird gray area with Kirpan. 

    In the UK, it's probably better to not be blatant with a functional weapon. I know some Sikhs carry them, but if someone is actually going to go beyond the useless, colonial products i.e. blunt, useless with no handle type of 'kirpan', then they should conceal it, just to avoid unnecessary attention. English people might understand why a Singh is carrying one, but a lot of other foreigners wouldn't. And we shouldn't forget why  we were instructed to have them. I think way too many amritdharis have fallen for the 'symbolic' interpretation which was obviously a part of colonial manipulation to disarm Sikhs.

    meanwhile, because of her the Hindu community in Pakistan is getting hammered. 

    Be real, Sikhs and Hindus have been getting raw deals there a long time before this, although this may have intensified stuff.

     

    Anyway, it's not like their hasn't been apneean and hindu women who haven't done the same, and crossed borders.

    If you watched the program then you will hear in the last 15 mins at least (what I listened to) that a sentence was reduced by a year due to character reference from Gurdwara 

    How the Gurdwara thought writing a letter in this scenario was a good idea, I don't know 

    First thing, my hearts heavy for this mother and family. 

    But to be honest, those two kids who are going down for this aren't going to be having a good time for many many years now. They'll be constantly around violence. Given the length of these sentences, I don't think a year going either way will make much difference. They'll probably be heavily 'institutionalised' well before they are let out, if they make it. 

    Why the Gurdwara did this? I don't know what these kids backgrounds are? Was this 'out of character'? I don't know what the culture in Wolves is like (i.e. heavily gang influenced?) I'm not remotely condoning or excusing their behaviour - taking a mother's only son away is heart breaking. I could barely watch the mother and daughter's interview. 

    I'm baffled over why they took this route. But I will say, remembering when I was around this age, A lot of young kids around where I grew up got into all manner of serious shyte, it wasn't uncommon. 

    To me it only (yet again) emphasises why it's so important to try and inculcate  a sense of brotherhood amongst Sikhs as a force against this type of internal violence. But at this age, I'm seriously beginning to wonder if this is actually realistic, given the selfish nature of a lot of apnay, and the unhealthy competition over wealth and status they often have between themselves. Let's contextualise this: look at the rampant violence between young apnay in areas of Canada that frequently leads to murder (usually with firearms) - in that respect I think we are quite lucky in the UK, in that we haven't got to that yet.

     

    How do you think these two should have been dealt with?

    I don’t  want my 21 yo son falling for a cult as he is very impressionable.

    On a wider perspective I think people need to work on making their kids a bit more savvy and streetwise (in their thinking, not dress or language). This gullible streak a lot of apnay and apneean have causes havoc.

    She explained the transfers were for a man called Ravi she had met online', Mr Killen said. 'She believed that Ravi wanted to marry her, she believed he was currently in Dubai working. 

    'She met him on a site called Asian.Shaadi.com which is a site for people interested in getting married,' said Mr Killen.

    Singh explained that she initially denied his request for a few thousand pounds, but then agreed. He asked for larger and larger payments on the basis he would be able to travel from Dubai once equipment was shipped.

    Singh, who divorced in 2019, previously said she had hoped to marry Mr Jani. 

    She said they had numerous phone calls a day and she saw him once or twice on FaceTime.

    When her bank accounts were examined there was no evidence of any financial benefit to her.

    ...

    Gwen Renshaw, defending, said the messages between Singh and Mr Jani were illuminating and shows she was extremely vulnerable.

    'He repeatedly told her she was beautiful, that he cared for her and would look after her and they were in love', she said. 

    'She was told she was beautiful, he would care for her and look after her and they were in love. She is at a loss as to how she could have been so naïve.
