Why are there sometimes violent clashes between sikhs when trying to gain control over a temple? Is there some sort of ulterior motive for gaining control?
I live in England, in a place called Walsall, there are two temples, one in Pleck district and one in Caldmore district.
The Caldmore one is bigger and has more sikhs visiting it. When the commitee was changed there were violent clashes, it's like they're gaining something from being in the commitee, (money perhaps??)
Also, once the Pleck temple youth kids had gone on a camp, and as they were passing Caldmore temple, they stopped to have some refreshments, but the commitee locked all the doors so that they couldn't eat the langar there.
How selfish is that. There must be some ulterior motive to being a member of the board in the temple, not everyone joins it out of the goodness of their heart. Things may differ in Canada though. :happysingh:
