#1 The Sikhs have a long military tradition and like the Hindus are relaxed about women having careers.

#2 Sikhs are badasses - warrior society at its basis in order to defend thier right to worship as they please against all others in thier region. They taught their women and children miltary and martial arts throughout history.

I presume they keep this tradition.

#4 Many Sikhs live and prosper in Kern County. They are pretty well intigrated. Like alot of rural kids in our county entering the military is an normal part of becoming and adult.

#5 little bit of history on Sikhs and British army .

The end paragraph sums it up for me..

"As a legacy Sikhs were encouraged to settle in the UK and today they form a responsible and vibrant part of contemporary society."

#7 You go, girl!

Immigrants from India seem to be doing well here, both benefiting and contributing. Good to have them.

#8 I have never heard of any problems from Sihks unless someone was really messing with them. They are not the types to imagine or exagerate their victimhood nor do they seem to see conspiracies whereever they look. They integrate nicely whereever they are found.

Methinks there is another community who could learn a big lesson from them and the Hindus too.

I wonder why our supposedly hostile society has no problems with any other creed except for the you know who's. Funny isn't it? Couldn't possibly be because they act like assholes. Nah, it's us that has the problem. Riiiiiight!

#10 Yes, her Sikh bodyguard turned on Indira after she ordered a 'Waco' style assault upon their most holy site. Ooops.

#13 How sad will it be for the bad guyz to be beaten by a pretty, young grrrl like her? Even if she does start out as a supply clerk.
Interestingly, there are a bunch of Sikh kids at T. Daughter's tae kwan do school, both boys and girls. They all take it pretty seriously, too. Miss Kaur may no longer be a curiosity in a few years :-D
