Indeed. I would like to correct a mistake. I do not wish to lend credence to the notion that Singhs are unjustly discriminated against in the working world. This might be true for some people -- but I would be lying if I claimed it is true for me. If anything, being a Singh has opened doors for...

Some great posts here. I forgot to thank you who took your time to reply. Thanks. As as update, the more things change, the more they stay the same. If I didnt care what others thought, it would be much simpler -- but alas what I do reflects on my loved ones. In the meantime, I've had to deal...

I have no opinion on the subject but Khalsafauj you sound like an idiot bigot mate. fixup.

No.

What is that reason? Can you find out? I disagree. I think it was a healthy discussion. Is there no place for my opinion on this website? If it means you, then use the words "I", "Me", and "We" like a good rational human being. You're simply using it as a synonym for self. That's pointless...

Some choice quotes: and another fine one: Well, what a bunch of uncivilized savages we must be!

a rather speculative statement. The old "the brits did it" conspiracy theory which has been much abused over the years. What hasn't been hidden away in that convenient catchall. In this instance I think you've reached too far. You've made a concrete assertion: that prior to the british...

Maybe it impresses you that some bhagats were gay but that means little in the big picture. The facts are that we've never had a society that embraced homosexuality and there is zero proof for that ever happening. Look around you, tell me there is any even a small chance that a proud manly race...
