    Marriage And Caste. Advice Please

    The concept of caste has no place in Sikhi (or most other religions for that fact). It's a cultural concept which has just passed on through generations and most people tend to hold onto cultural concepts very strongly than what religion teaches because of izzat and the fear of "what will...

    Fauja Singh Finishes Hong Kong Marathon: Retires At 101

    I think Fauja Singh-ji is absolutely amazing, even using the word "amazing" feels like an understatement. He really does make me feel complete awe and ashamed of myself.

    UK Sikhs Against EDL To Join Cambridge Protest

    Thank you so very much for your help Spnadmin Ji, I am super super super grateful to you. I do like the idea of teaching about the instruments although not sure where we would get hold of such things. I'll ask the local gurdwara if there is anything they could help with in that part. (Our...
