    The Sexual Exploitation of Young Sikhs inthe UK
     
     A new report sheds light on some of the consequences of turning ablind eye to allegations
     
    by Paula Boddington
     (January 2019)
    Much of the world now
    knows about the UK’s shameful ‘groominggangs’ (or mor
    e accurately, rape, pimping, and torture gangs), that havedevastated the lives of thousands of young people, their families, andcommunities the length and breadth of Britain. In media reports, thesegangs are often said to be targeting white girls (and some boys). Manyhave known for some time however that, in actual fact, victims can comefrom any community and from any ethnic or religious group. It remains
     
     
    the case that not enough is known or understood about ‘grooming gang’
    crimes, and how they fit into the broader patterns of the sadly widespreadsexual abuse of children and vulnerable young adults.
     
    A recent report published in November 2018,
    The Religiously AggravatedSexual Exploitation of Young Sikh Women Across the UK 
    ,[1] (the RASEreport) has brought to the attention of the media, both in Britain andelsewhere, allegations of widespread targeting by mostly Muslim Pakistani
     ‘groomers’ of Sikh girls and young women—
    and indeed, sometimes boystoo. The report presents evidence that Sikhs have been victims of suchcrimes for nigh on fifty years, with court cases documented as long agoas 1961, and reports of abuse ongoing. The report alleges that Sikhs havebeen especially targeted because of their religion. It documents
    allegations that men have pretended to be Sikh in order to gain a girl’s
    trust, and it argues that demographic and cultural factors made Sikhs aparticular target of Pakistani Muslim predators.
     
    The RASE report also claims that cultural and religious factors meant thatthe Sikh community has been repeatedly failed by the authorities, withtheir allegations of targeted abuse ignored or rejected. Why might this bethe case? According to the report, there appear to be distinctive patternsto the abuse of young Sikhs, but for anyone who has looked in detail atthis particular kind of crime within the wider community, certain aspectsare all too recognizable. These similarities extend to the ways thatallegations have been brushed aside, and to how the victims, theirfamilies, and communities, have been viewed.
     
    The accounts of patterns of exploitation have a sickening ring offamiliarity. A Sikh woman whom I met at the launch of this report,Harminder Kaur, told me afterwards:Ever since from my secondary school days, I have seen first-hand howthe girls would be targeted by the Pakistani men outside the schools andyounger inside the school. There were cases of men hanging aroundoutside the school. As I had come from India and I was educated in thepolitical history, I was more aware of the root causes. Also, there wereonly a handful of Pakistani girls coming into school in those days, as soonthey were in their teens they were married off or sent to Pakistan,another reason that the target for boys and men were the Sikh and Hindugirls.
     
    There were girls who fell into the vile trap that was laid to them by thePakistanis too, they were innocent girls with dreams. Some girls feltundervalued and craved attention whilst others were from middle classfamilies who became targets. I remember one girl who had come fromEast Africa and few weeks later, she went missing. It was quite commonto hear that so-and-
    so’s daughter had run away with a Muslim. To where
    no one knew.
     
     
     
     
    There are particular aspects of the grooming of Sikhs that merit closescrutiny and understanding, including the claim that these crimes arereligiously aggravated. The alleged patterns of abuse meted out uponSikh victims shed further light on the widespread abuse by groominggangs carried out on young people from the white British population; it isinstructive to compare and contrast the modus operandi of the crimesagainst different victims. Indeed, there is reason to consider that, hadconcerns of the Sikh community been taken seriously decades ago,
     ‘lessons might have been learnt’, to coin a phrase, regarding the abuse
    which subsequently came to light against white victims. As the report
    says, ‘At the same time as the concerns of the Sikh community remain
    unaddressed, gangs of predominantly Pakistani men have been convictedof targeting young white females for sexual exploitation in cities acrossthe United Kingdom. The common factor among these convictions is theutilisation of those techniques identified by the Sikh community thirty
    years earlier.’ 
    [2]
     
    The RASE report is presented as an interim report only, and indeed morework needs to be done, but there is plenty of reason to think that thesituation merits considerable attention. Allegations of widespread sexualexploitation of white girls by gangs were being made for years before anyserious action was taken, and official reports and serious case reviewshave identified various factors which led authorities, including the police,the social services, and local councils, to turn a blind eye to what wasgoing on.[3] This in itself gives
     prima facie
     reason to wonder if the samemay be true concerning the allegations in the RASE report.
     
    However, at the same time as taking these allegations seriously, it’s vital
    to be as precise and as rigorous as the evidence to date allows. Witnessthe attacks which have been levelled at the report into grooming gangsby the Quilliam Foundation, released in 2017.[4] The authors of thisreport admit that they were prompted to examine the issue out of
    scepticism about claims that ‘Asian’ men (a term widely used in Britain to
    indicate ethnic origins in Pakistan, Bangladesh, India or Sri Lanka) weredisproportionately involved in the particular type of serious sexual offence
    that’s come to be known as ‘grooming’. Yet the report concluded that
    about 84% of the known offenders were in fact of Pakistani ethnicity.(Maajid Nawaz has stated more explicitly that the majority of perpetratorsare not simply Pakistani, but Pakistani Muslims.) This figure has sincebeen widely cited, and also widely criticised. There are indeed
    shortcomings in Quilliam’s report. The report is unclear about how the
    researchers collected the data they used and how they analysed it. Thereare also difficulties in ascertaining the ethnicity and religion ofperpetrators, and of victims.

    Shaheed Bhai Balwinder Singh Jattana Babbar was one of the Sikh Liberation Movement’s heroes, who struggled endlessly to end the looting and subjugation of Punjab. Bhai Sahib was a dedicated and determined Naujavaan – steadfast on his principles – who made the ultimate sacrifice for the liberation of the Sikh Kaum. At the young age of 25, Bhai Balwinder Singh left the peace of his own home and his education to to fight for an independent Sikh homeland. Bhai Sahib entered the battlefield fearlessly and quickly rose to prominence in the Malwa region of Punjab. Recognizing his leadership qualities and his Gursikhi Jeevan, Bhai Balwinder Singh was soon established as Babbar Khalsa’s Malwa Area Commander.
    Bhai Balwinder Singh and his companions, such as, Jathedar Bhagat Singh Bhagta (Ropar), Bhai Harmeet Singh Bhaowal and Bhai Charanjeet Singh ‘Channa’ were responsible for many courageous actions in their area and struck fear in the hearts of the police. One such action took place on July 23, 1990 in Chandigarh’s Sector 26 at the SYL Canal’s head office.
    Since the British colonizers made their exit from the Indian subcontinent and transferred power to India’s Brahmin, “free” Hindu India has oppressed, looted and exploited the people of Punjab unceasingly. One such scheme to cripple the Sikh’s of Punjab economically and ecologically, was to divert and steal Punjab’s river water. With this end in mind, the Satluj-Yamuna-Link canal was proposed in 1982 to carry Punjab’s river water to neighboring Haryana and despite the 
    On the morning of the 23rd, all four of the Guru’s Singhs approached the head office on scooters while the chief engineers of the SYL project held a meeting on the second floor of the building. The jatha of Babbar’s entered the office casually and made their way to the meeting place with silenced pistols. Like lightning, they struck – eliminating M.S. Sikri and Avtar Aulakh, the engineers who were collaborating with the Brahmin Sarkar to loot Punjab’s resources and livelihood. Just as casually as they had entered, the Singhs walked out of the office and left on the same scooters they had come on. The government was shaken by the audacity of the action and immediately halted the SYL project.
    On August 29th of the following summer, Jujharoo Singhs attacked SSP Sumedh Saini, killing his driver and bodyguard. Saini survived the attack with few injuries and his suspicion immediately fell on Bhai Balwinder Singh. In an act of revenge, Saini sent his group of police cat Nangs, led by Ajit Poohla, to Bhai Balwinder Singh’s village home in Jatana. Upon arriving they found Bhai Sahib’s 80 year old grandmother, 40 year old aunt, 13 year old cousin and his 5 year old nephew suffering from polio. admin cut Poohla and his cronies, proceeded to murder all four family members and burnt their bodies along with the home. Illustrating his unshakable dedication to the liberation struggle, when Bhai Sahib learned of the attack, he remained calm and said, “Their plan is to divert us from the path of freedom. They kill our families and expect us to kill innocent people (Hindus) in return. Sikhs do not kill anyone out of anger. We will be harming the movement by resorting to the police’s tactics.”
    It was a few days later, on September 4, 1991, that an informer alerted the police of Bhai Sahib’s whereabouts – hoping to collect the Rs. 16 lakh reward on his head. It was the afternoon of the fourth when Bhai Balwinder Singh and Bhai Charanjeet Singh ‘Channa’ were driving towards Sadhugarh village when they saw a police checkpoint. They abruptly turned their jeep around and ran into nearby fields for an encounter with the police. Both Singh’s had very little ammunition and were soon martyred by the police.

    Last tangent. America passed laws requiring all ak's be made domestically. 
    A Sikh run Santali manufacturer could make a killing.
    And that could justify again getting those in india who make Santalis out of india. 
    And a Sikh owned warehouse of Santalis that makes a profit is win on every side. Dharam Yudh happens, open the store up and have the Sangat walk through. 
    And we should make them in 7.62mm and 5.65 nato. 
    The thought of beautifully crafted, high end, embellished with Gurbani, Santalis is making me drool. Should have a designer high end custom line, and a mass produced line both.

    And we need certain narratives to justify getting work visas for Apne. Like take Sikilgars for example. 
    The visa office asks, why do you need Mr Singh, why cant an american blacksmith do?
    Well sir we make Purtan Shastars according to the original methods of our ancestors and only these Sikilgars are trained in this art since birth. Training americans in this method would require such costs that it would simply make our business unviable. I simply must have Mr Singh and his family come work for me, my business depends on it. 
    Even if we only broke even on the Shastars after paying a low wage, and they had to eat Langar we could get people out. 
    With Bungas and things, if they couldn't be paid amazingly they could at least have a bunch of overhead eliminated by the Gurudwara etc.

    I thought it’s best to avoid as much as possible physical activity post-food as blood is then diverted away from digesting food properly .
    if anything I’ve read it’s best to exercise before food, and then the food goes into building muscle and energising the exercised cells

    Personally, I feel that if this family called in panthic sevadaars like SYUK in, and misrepresented the truth that she was an adult in a relationship with someone they disliked, with some account that she was some religious, straight laced type, who'd never do such things - they are well rotten.
    I'm pretty sure the family is Radho Soami btw.
    Anyways, I say let's not focus on this case and keep sharp for brothers and sisters who might really need it.
