So i have been a vegetarian all my life. Unfortunately i dont know how to make meat subji at all, neither does my mom.

I was making baddiya tarri di subji (soya chunks), but thought about replacing the soya chunks with meat. I was thinking chicken, but im open to suggestions and learning more!

How do i do that? Do i turn them into meat balls? Would they fall apart? Do i season the chicken and then out it in? Do i only put meat in there or do i add others in as well, like peas, potatoes, paneer and all.

Thanks in Advance!

At Rexdale, there were a few trucks displaying strong anti-political messages targeting figures like Justin Trudeau, Indira Gandhi, and Narendra Modi. One truck in particular was openly chanting phrases like “Modi kutta haye haye” and calling him a “chor” (thief) over a mic and more.

I fully support freedom of speech. People have every right to express their opinions without fear of judgment. But at the same time, I couldn’t help but feel that the tone of these messages leaned more toward promoting hostility than raising thoughtful awareness about issues that affected the Sikh community.

At another Nagar Kirtan, there was a display showing the assassination of Indira Gandhi by Beant Singh and Satwant Singh. Within our community, we understand the historical context behind that event and the reasons behind it. But for people who arent familiar with that history, or even for those just passing by, the image they see is very different which is two turbaned men shooting a woman. Without context, that kind of imagery can easily reinforce negative stereotypes, making it seem like Sikhs are inherently violent. Even if there was a poster with context, not many take out the time to read it.

Honestly, I feel like moments like these can unintentionally shape how others perceive our community. Alongside this, we're already seeing Sikh names appear in crime-related news (as with any other community of course), viral videos of unnecessary public altercations, cars with gun stickers with either Jarnail Singh or Sidhu Moosewala or punjabi scripture, and highly visible protests that people may not fully understand. When all of this adds up, it can create a narrative that doesn’t reflect who we truly are or what we stand for.

I’m not saying people shouldn’t express their views or acknowledge history but I do think we can be more mindful of how our actions and messaging come across to those outside our community. There’s a difference between educating and provoking, and it’s important we find that line. In the SGGSJ, its written to promote love not hate, and not to have/create enemies. Here, i feel like we are doing the complete opposite.
