The BEST punjabi blogger on the Internet: Dr. Amardeep Singh

[Summy]

For all those who are interested with the ongoings of the punjabi/indian community from a distinctively punjabi pov, everyone should check out Amardeep Singh. He is a PhD from Duke Univeristy, and I was introduced to him by a friend who recommended his book called Secularism: Religion and Modernity in Twentieth-Century Fiction, awesome read.

Maybe you can tell by the title of his book, but his interest in India, and the South Asian diaspora and its secularism is remarkable. The guy literally can BLOW your mind with some of his commentary.

NO offense to anyone is particular, but with exception of a few people, most commentary on important issues whether in our diaspora or abroad, are sub-par and very very very basic on this website. They range from "violence and racism is bad" to "we shouldnt generalize".... I think he is a PERFECT author to help you introduce yourself into a mindset that can furthher your comprehension of the unique experience that is a south asian/indian/punjabi/sikh in the west.



Here is his personal blog, and if anyone else is interested in other south asian intelligent bloggers let me know.. either suggestions or requests...

Blogging in the SA community is really a truly wonderful thing, can defintely minimalize the distance between communities that are dedicated to growing and nuturing a population that strive to be the leaders of a new world.

Ranjit, your longest posts came during a debate about rap. You havent commented on anything substanial...

Can anybody get MC Ranjit Singh a mirror and some books to read? On a completely unrelated issue... Whats that disorder when you start acting like the people you are surrounded around even though you cant identify with them on any real issue?... Someone remind me...


Get educated on issues read a little bit... Stop talking about how sick illematic was, and how much you can relate to it, and start relating to your own culture a bit more.

Thanks buddy.

I look forward to your insightful, indepth and of utter importance commentary on rap music, and african american culture. I find it absolutely delightful that someone can continue to pretend. They say kids have the enviable mindset of being able to pretend. I am glad that some people can break this barrier put on my obvious liberal insintuations such as science and common sense.

By the way, I was wondering if I could get another sikhs commentary on what Guru Gobind Singh Maharaj Jee said regarding the cutting of facial hair:

"My Sikh shall not use the razor. For him the use of razor or shaving the chin shall be as sinful as incest. For the Khalsa such a symbol is prescribed so that a Sikh cannot remain undistinguishable from among a hundred thousand Hindus or Muslims; because how can he hide himself with hair and turban on his head and with a flowing beard?"



Looking forward to your insightful commentary.
