[QUOTE="lotus lion, post: 100904, member: 5620"] [B][U]Sikhs as a People[/U][/B] With Regards to The Sikhs themselves, I think one would be pretty hard pressed to find areas within the UK, or anywhere for that matter, where Sikhs are not living in harmony with followers of other Dharma’s. Perhaps there are areas, but i am frankly unaware, though i have lived worked and travelled in East London, West London, Birmingham, Coventry, Nottingham and Leeds to name but a few. I believe that we go out of our way to extend our hand in sincere friendship, helping everyone on the way, and integrating where ever we go, doing our upmost to keep the Sikh Principles intact. A personal example. There is a Church about 2 mins away from the Gurdwara where I worship. They were having a Sale of some sort and had invited many Christians from all over to take part. The only issue was that the Caterers said that they could not make it at the last minute, so they came to the Gurdwara to see if we could help. Not only did we provide them with Food and drink we helped to setup and clear up afterwards. Other examples include Sikhcess where homeless people being fed are but one of the projects that are being worked on: [I]"Sikhcess™ serves thousands of food packages to the needy. This effort starts with volunteers arriving early in the morning to cook their meals. Each respected city distributes a[B][U] vegetarian menu that fits their community's needs[/U][/B]. Throughout the day, volunteers help package the nutritious meals by assembling them into food packages. ...[/I] [I]Every month, the homeless and needy take delivery of these food packages. In exchange, Sikhcess™ volunteers receive countless hugs, smiles, and a heart-felt “thank you”, many times over."[/I] Source: [URL="http://sikhcess.com/ecom.asp?pg=programs"]Programs[/URL] And then there is Khalsa Aid who help people in predicaments, be that in the Somalia, Turkey, Afghanistan or Pakistan to name but a few: [I]"The 2005 South Asia Earthquake was a [B][U]major earthquake[/U][/B] centered in Azad Kashmir ([B][U]Pakistan-administered Kashmir[/U][/B]) and in North West Frontier Province (NWFP)[/I] [I]...[/I] [I][B][U]Khalsa Aid decided to provide sanitation[/U][/B] in the camps around Muzafrabad. The immediate priority was to stop disease spreading through lack of sanitation. Thousands of people were in huddled in very small spaces without access to washrooms or toilets.

Please do not forget that the Land of The Sikhs was partition just over 60 years ago and it is only now that The Rising Sikhs are making headway in these areas once again.
