    CNN Video on "Drugs in Punjab"

    The WHOLE thing? No, there is plenty of blame to fall directly on the people of Punjab.

    Balwant Singh Rajoana

    There are so many issues with what you said. 1. You are blaming Hindus when Rajoana conspired to kill a supposed Sikh who was committing atrocities against Sikhs. Oppression, genocide, and violence know no racial, religious or ethnic boundaries. Are you familiar with KPS Gill? 2. You are...

    Problems

    Competitions need to stop accepting teams that already have a reputation of causing these problems. Lets be honest, we know the 10-12 teams that go to every competition and act like they never got disciplined growing up. Competitions keep accepting them and you already knowing going in that they...

    Elite 8 - Review

    UNC was great, well deserved 1st place. I would give JJ 2nd and 3rd to BK. Too many teams made gimmicks the focal point of the routine rather than having the gimmicks compliment the routine. UNC, JJ and BK were the most successful in integrating entertaining gimmicks into an otherwise well...

    Sounds like dancing is taking the backseat to gimmicks.

    The Jeremy Lin Show

    Soft bigotry of low expectations is the cause of half the love Lin is getting in the media. Also, this guy has a better chance than the Bhullar twins: Trans World Sport feature on IMG Basketball Academy student Satnam Singh Bhamara

    The Jeremy Lin Show

    It is too bad the guy will have to play with Carmelo and Amare soon. The problem with the Knicks is they are a fundamentally flawed team because their two most important players need the ball in their hands, don't play defense, are selfish and extremely inefficient overall. Couple that with an...

    AEG at Alvin Ailey with Masala Bhangra

    In the 10+ years Sarina Jain has been profiting off this art, did she ever bother to learn the history or importance of it to the people of Punjab? I really don't know, but I am sure those of you who do know her could answer this question. I have a problem with people who do not respect the art...

    AEG at Alvin Ailey with Masala Bhangra

    Sarina Jain & her "bhangra instructors" should consider this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_appropriation Also, here is a parallel to Punjabi music: http://www.clutchmagonline.com/2011/06/kreayshawn-another-case-of-appropriating-black-culture/

    should girls be allowed to do live.?

    There is more misogyny from male teams towards female teams than from judges towards teams. We have all seen the way guys teams behave at competitions, but it is a generally ignored topic.

    should girls be allowed to do live.?

    Rather than dealing with the drunks they resort to telling women not to do something. It is the same logic that says women shouldn't leave the home or have jobs. This question is silly, because it assumes women need to be told what to do. They are allowed to do whatever they want, no one has...

    Jay Leno and the Harmandir Sahib

    No need to take this so seriously. He is a comedian, and made a lame joke...which didn't even attack Sikhs. To sue the guy or act like he committed some great sin is a waste of time, especially considering half the people protesting this probably watch more offensive portrayals of Sikhs in...

    Pakhand Baba, Haddan Paar. Disgusting!

    Pakhand Baba, Haddan Paar. Disgusting!

    I think using Jakaras in a bhangra setting where there is drinking/misogyny/violence is the wrong time/place. I think what these guys are doing is also odd and not what we consider mainstream Sikhi. But I respect their right to be able to do it. I am not one of these people promoting a theocracy...

    Pakhand Baba, Haddan Paar. Disgusting!

    What do you want the SGPC to do? Specifically, let me know what actions they should take before you take personal shots. Also, the SGPC proved itself to be a joke with their sexist views on so many things related to women.
