i have an aversion towards the excessive douchiness commonly expressed on this forum by amancheema, but on this matter i have to say i agree with his sentiment wholeheartedly. i've chosen to forgo criticism on this because it view it(ubj) as futile and having no long term impact on the circuit. i can see a lot of work was put into it but no matter how much this ubj agenda gets pushed, it won't be a factor in how the circuit evolves. i appreciate bhangra, what i've never appreciated about the circuit is the elitism, the popular few who categorized themselves as the points of authority in the field of north american bhangra. my conduct over the yrs on this forum has been partially focused on undermining what i perceived as elitism. bhangra is a lok nach, dance of the people, the people will always control how it evolves, no cabal of misguided individuals will ever be able to enforce their views on those who chose to express their appreciation for bhangra through performances.Proudly, I'll be the first one to say that this is a stupid idea. Not only stupid, but also a bit condescending. Who gave you the right to become a certification committee? Are you elected? No, right? So stop feeding your garbage agenda to everyone. The best teams have always been, and always will be the ones that laugh at community agendas like this. STFU. Unionize judging? What fucking planet are you on? You think you're going to control the trajectory of this dance? Off what fucking license? Fuck this. Bye.
also please refrain from trying to pressure/bully individuals to joining your ubj initiative. if people or competitions chose not to participate, they don't deserve to be hassled.
