Popular Post Premi Posted December 27, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 Thought I'd start a topic to see where everyone on this forum is from. I know where some are from who also post on SA. But, I'm interested in geography, especially of Panjab. Don't need to be too specific if you don't want to be - I don't want to say my actual ancesterol pinds. Anyway, I'm in greater London, the southeastern part. Parents both from Ludhiana district in Panjab. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't need to be too specific if you don't want to be - I don't want to say my actual ancesterol pinds. Anyway, I'm in greater London, the southeastern part. Parents both from Ludhiana district in Panjab. Northern Nevada bro. At the nexus of beautiful nature and degredation. Where anyway you want to destroy yourself you can. We also have everything you need to do the opposite. Good laws, and a lot of open space and clean water...ish.. not the recycled water exactly, the water table and snow pack...where the military didn't poison it. Reno is the only city in northern nevada really. With its surrounding area. Family line is basically irish immigrants. Some clans Sants others Sipahi. I think north indians might really like the climate, elevation, and farming laws here. Heck this government will buy you a farm if you work it. It's called homesteading. We still do that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they do social distancing there? Veer ji at both of the gurdwaras some people wear face masks and some don't. Barking Gurdwara recently had a high profile kirtan samgam twice. Most of the sangat wasn't wearing masks at the time of the devan. To be honest i don't think they are giving much attention nowdays to covid rules like face covering. Plus they were serving langar as well which made me feel things are like back to normal at the time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The money spent on 'facelifting' these Gurdware could be halved maybe ? And used for more enriching purposes such as teaching Panjabi and Sikhi classes, gym and martial arts classes ? English classes for native Panjabi speakers ? Most Gurdware don't even have much security provision other than CCTV. Maybe they should have turnstiles to up the security and make it 'intercom-only' ? https://www.mylondon.news/news/east-london-news/inside-135m-east-london-gurdwara-20987111 Inside £13.5m East London Gurdwara with 850 tonnes of Indian imported marble where volunteers cook for 700 people daily The Gurdwara Singh Sabha in Barking is now open to the public after five years of renovation SHARE COMMENTS By Reemul BallaNews Reporter 23:22, 6 JUL 2021 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've personally heard people from SS properly sl@g off Karamsar when it wasn't the beautiful Indic structure it is now, as a 'hut'. Barking has probably done what it has as a reactive (architectural) response to the Karamsar Gurdwara??? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barking has probably done what it has as a reactive (architectural.) response to the Karamsar Gurdwara??? If there's any 'slagging off' it's like a sports team rivalry thing. It was small before but it needed more space. There can be a lot of 'rivalry' where there are multiple Gurdware in an area. Most Gurdware were or are built on ex-Church ground/building, think Barking was also. And another thing which you likely know, is that Karamsar is headed mainly by Ramgarhias (building work led by another 'old boy' of Rampur) and Barking and Seven Kings (close relationship) are those people you mention from time to time... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
