[QUOTE="Randip Singh, post: 46974, member: 1323"] They don't treat Monay very well...on one occaision there I witnessed: 1) People shouting at Mona's who had had the ordasity to start helping distributing langaar. These guys basically started saying they were impure. 2) Man shouting at poor young girl becaue her Chunni had slipped off her head in the Langaar hall. 3) Picture of their Baba in the hallway, and yet they refuse to have pictures of the Guru's. Note that I am against having any pictures of Guru's or Baba's in Gurudwara's, bar in areas such as libraries in the Gurudwara for educational purposes. I wouldn't say that either. I have met Jatts, Khatri's, Chimba's etc from Kenya and they exactly the same mentality.....so I don't think its an exclusive Tarkhan thing. My mother is from Kenya and their side of the family from Kenya is pretty militant. I have met Kenyan Tarkhan's here in the UK who are very nice guys..........and pretty darn tough. A chap I know, his dad was from Kenya, and he was the first Sikh soldier in the RAF Regiment (back in the 70's)....surname Sehmi, I think. I think these guys at this place are just messed up,........their Baba.....Mr Dhanjal, saw decedance around him in Kenya, since the Kenyan Sikh's aquired wealth fast. While our people in India were travelling by Horse and Cart, Kenyan Sikh's were driving a Mercedes. Many of these guys drank........Mr Dhanjal apparently indulged in such activities (I maybe mistaken).......but saw the error of his ways and his reaction was extreme. He banned meat which he associated with alcohol. Ordered a strict code of conduct. It was probably what they (the Kenyan Sikh's needed at that time). He also saw the Guruwara's splitting...fight's between Jatt's and Tarkhan's caused a seperate Rangarhia Gurudwara to form, excluding all caste's bar Tarkhan's (Lohar's etc). Mr Dhanjal probably thought he could unite these factions under a Sant/Baba following. He succeeded to an extent. They are however, far too strict and dogmatic in their approach. A debate with a chap called HarjiSingh ([url=http://www.sikhiwiki.org]Main Page[/url]) and some other fellows, which I witnessed revealed to me the fanaticism of such people. It is not healthy.
