Sat Naam Jio I agree with both of the above. It is good to know people are at least thinking and discussing theses points. When I referred to DNA in reference to Kanwaljit Ji, I meant I am not sure the whole 'women against women' is part of their DNA as men do this too. But I do agree with...

Fatheh Lol! Ok I will stop apologising. Harry Haller. Personally I have no real idea what karma is or whether it really exists or not. If it exists then fair enough, if not then fair enough too. I just know that we seem to use is as an excuse to stop ourselves and others reach their...

Wahe Guru Ji Ka Khalsa Wahe Guru Ji Ke Fatheh. Fatheh Ji Apologies for all the post. Like I said I do feel passionately about this topic. Another thing which is disturbing is the idea of using 'karma' as an excuse for not doing anything or passively accepting what is happening in our...

Fatheh Ji As for women who are getting bullied: - perhaps get in touch with South Asian women centres that help with such cases. - don't feel guilty about 'bring shame' - as it is not your fault. - if you can, yes do stand up. If you get physically abused for this... then there are laws in...

Harry Haller Ji You are right. What does the women in this case do? Plus yes as our Guru's said: 'Higher than Truth is Truthful Living'. That is the most difficult part and there are no real quick answers. In my opinion it is better to perhaps to sort the core of the issue rather...

Wahe Guru Ji Ka Khalsa Wahe Guru Ji Ke Fateh I am not completely sure its part of a women's DNA. I think we need to look at other factors if we are going to move on as a community Ji. If we just in point this on DNA, it means women and men don't have a choice or can not become aware of their...

Fatheh Jis HGNIS. It is true and I would also add, women need to also stop oppressing women. Mother - in laws and sister in laws need to stop bullying daughter in laws. Women need to stop bullying each other and stop putting each other down in terms of 'what their children are doing' and 'if...

Sat Nam Waheguru Ji I hope you all had a good Guru Gobind Singh Ji prakash! Happy New year to you all too. I haven't been on SPN for a while as I have been really busy. But thought I would give an update to anyone who was interested: I have an updated website and a more informal blog, so ppl...

Sat Nam Waheguru Ji I hope you all had a good Guru Gobind Singh Ji prakash! Happy New year to you all too. If anyone is interested I a have a updated website and a more informal blog, so ppl can follow my work on my MA on South Asian Women/Women and Sikhism (starting point) and other creative...

Navdeep88 Ji I found your post very interesting. I think there is a distinction to be made between Sikh philosophy and culture. I recall someone saying on SPN, that it is 'all culture' and someone else mentioned the 'ego'. I went to a lecture at Manchester University South Asian culture...

Tejwant Singh Ji thanks for your post. It was certainly a good reminder to remain critical. Glad I was reminded at the start of this journey. Sat Naam. Also if I do put anything up here that people have a different view especially if it can be referenced to other more critical texts, please...

Sat Naam Ji thanks for the support. Your words are comforting and I am grateful. I also believe in truth and being honest. I am not scared of the outcome, just concerned that I get it accurate! Which is the scary thing. And yes hurray for ice-cream In the words of Guru Nanak: “Truth is high...

Sat Naam Ambarsaria Ji Thank you for your comment and contributions and I will definitely consider them. In fact yes I have been a little upset. It is actually such a challenging journey. I think because when you have look at your own culture and behavior, looking at the positives and...

Sat Naam It seems that I have a lot to learn! After doing a lot of reading, going to a talk in Leicester about the Dasam Granth and Sikhism and Human Rights as part of Sikh Society and speaking to the Historians and Lawyers who presented the above talks, it has come to light that Jakokbsh (who...
