so why cant the potential students apply to a first rate college?!? alittle confused on this. is it cheaper to go to another second rate college?

Thank you for posting this. I pay more attention than most to universities and colleges, but I had no idea this was going on.

Dilpreet kaur is my classmate and she has become the voice of us international students she stood against the college and gathered other students. \nProud of her

The way dilpreetkaur fought for her rights nd I started even crying after listening her father that how he arranged the fee for her college ?

The colleges need to pay for cheating students. Makes me sick

Thank you for bringing attention to this... I'm so sad this is going on ‐ those poor kids need help & those colleges are behaving so cruelly & selfishly??

these are second rate colleges you're talking about. There is no merit required to get into many of them, other than just having money. Not good

Africans being forced into slavery by their own people is greedy and heartbreaking and that cruelty is exactly what we have today. The cruelty of some blacks is outrageous, ask any elderly man or woman who was punched in the face by one of these cruel ones. What I don't dig is how every black person with a mediocre platform MUST talk about something black. In one way it was a blessing when blacks were brought to the states. In Africa many blacks had to suffer through famine and had to eat insects, there have been many cases of genocide, slave trade and HIV. After the Republicans died freeing the slaves, blacks were afforded a whole new life. It hasn't been easy but for blacks, life before BLM was encouraging blacks to attend college and get great jobs and the people in these companies accepted and even made friends with them. These motivated blacks were a minority though and the reality is that many backs wasted their life wanting to be rap stars and gangsters...the latter has increased this stupidity a hundred fold since BLM. Stop talking about blacks, how you perceive they are being treated, slavery, reparations and what ever else you have up your sleeve and start focusing on the very youth who will be on this planet when we are are old and helpless..

sir is there any age limit to apply for study abroad. \nand specific colleges who will accept fole with the age of 38

Can you give same explanation at airport security check, keep religious beliefs and practices outside of educational institutions. Same thing would have happened in India as well if one brings knife or any kind of weapon to college or school.

Don't bring your kirpan to school or college as someone else will use it against you

Ohh. His religion says they can carry knife. Can i carry AK 47 to college if my religion says i can carry it. Don't be stupid. Thats not a sikh college to implement your own religious beliefs. This is fucking America. You have to follow our laws.

Be a Rome when in Rome . Others may not feel safe and I bet even in India it’s not allowed in schools and colleges

No matter what ur religion says here in western countries any sharp thing is consider as a weapon and safety hazard and are not permissible on school or college or work place or anyplace so i the cop did what he supposed to do there are rules and regulations so everyone has to follow it no matter what …

It’s no completely insane for this to happen. Most colleges are gun free campuses, where a maniac with a weapon won’t be easily stopped. So naturally they have to take precautions.

Part of accepting admission into a college is reading the fine print and what you can and cannot do. If this was indeed against university policy (which I’m sure no school allows edged weapons) then it’s on him

I am from India too. There is no need of knife in a college. Totally understand this is religious but you dont have expose that in a public place like this.

in colleges and schools people should not carry religious things and later start justifying. You should to go the schools as others are going , it’s simply flaunting and nothing else .... after schools he can carry it if he wants to, this put bad impact on others students too

I never thought what the police did was wrong . They did the right thing agreed it’s a Sikh religious thing, but come on have some\nSense ! In a college ! God wouldn’t punish you if you keep it at home ! It’s a weapon man !

Emagine having everyone a kripan (a knife) in college... Like what??

Regardless of Sikh , hindu or muslim (religion)and their beliefs no body should bring any kind of weapons into the school / colleges ... ?... Bz it's not guaranteed that it would be not misused by the person who brings/ by the person who knows there is a weapon and take advantage of it ,thankyou .My self hindu . I have many beliefs but I don't carry anything inside school premises.

Probably some Khlistanis made him do it. It’ll be fun if no one comes to his recuse now! ? He’ll be crying in the prison. You go to college to study. Do that and gtfo!

If they want follow religion then go temple\nI can understand pagadi , kadaa \nBut why knife in college \nIts college not war ground , they r just takeing advantage to be Sikh \nThey r khalistani terrists

Jesh desh wesa besh. That's not India. He should've not bought that knife that too in college.

I live in india and i havent seen any of my sikh friends in schools, colleges and even in my work place carrying a kirpan or knife, i have seen only nihangs or sikh priest carrying them. I think when you move to a foreign land you tend to show your identity aggressively to be different, even muslims in western countries are more radical than here.

Dude when you're in college follow their rules not your grandfather's.

If want to follow culture go to religious college or school. I will start my own religion where we can take bazooka ?

Look I get it you know like it’s a spiritual thing and it’s important to him but it’s still a knife and it’s in a college like I’m sorry bro but you’re in the wrong here

In India hardly seen any sikh carrying knife in school and colleges.

He Should Respect that Country Law. Why he Bring knife in College. It is Not India where its allowed to Sikh Bring Knif.

If it was in India, the college wouldn't even care to write an apology like this, that's the real difference

Bkl college m chaaku le ke krne kya gya tha tu chutiye... Pehle to iss baat pe maaro...

keep your relogious belief at your home state ..even in india they should nt be alllowed to carry this in public outside their home state. nobody can guarantee the mental state of a human.recently a video went viral where a sikh guy who was a goon publicy stabbed a person over a verbal fight. well done by police and there was no need for apology by college. a country or state should run by their own rules and culture .

I am an Indian and even I will not support this. Religion should be followed in homes and not in institutions like colleges. The educational institution can have its own rules. Incidents of rage can happen at any time and can not be predicted.

Common man it’s not right to take knife at college Y showing ur religious it’s totally show Off ?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️

U cant bring knife in a college. \nThats all.

@param road rage me bohot bar sikh talwar nikal dete ho. Bhai road rage koi kisiko murder nai karta. Agar hatapayi bhi hota he, to mere dadhi ko hath lagaya, usko religious angel deke talwar nikal dete ho. Hamara adhikar ka kya? Mandiron pe talwar leke hamla karte ho. Agar kuch kand hota he, sikh community uski ninda karti he aur bo real sikh nai tha, ye sab batate ho. Road me tere sath ladai hojaye to, dusra banda ka to dar rahegana ki tere pass weapon he. Tum log bas baki logon se apne aapko superior maan na chate ho, aur log jab intimidate hote he tum logon se, obviously tum logon ko bohot accha lagta hoga. Purane kamane me sab weapon rakhte the apne protection ke liye. Chae wo hindu ho ya muslim. Abhi protection ke liye police aur army he. Protection karna he to police aur army me jao, school, college me wepaon leke mat aao.

Hijab in Indian colleges not allowed !

Why does he need to wear at University?\nI respect my culture but college ,school , University is not a place to showcase your religion.

I don't want to say any word on this stupidity ? one question ,, school and college are for education there is one specific dress code for all children, and everyone should follow the rules of schl and clg,so why we involve our religion as a hindu I oppose this?pls stop this nonsense, if this is right so why we are against the hijab in indian school and clg ?? If all religions start following their culture and rituals in colleges then from tomorrow a hindu will start wearing dhoti kurta,sari, rudarkhs, mushlim will wear hijab, kurta lungi ??so pls stop this nonsense ???

I see people getting offended In the comments but they celebrate when same things happens in India like girls in Karnataka are not allowed to wear hijab in college

Vo kanzar le ka kyu gya college mai

I speak for myself and not on behalf of anyone.\n\nFirstly, in any such situation be it any religion, caste etc, before reacting, imagine if this was happening to your own son/daughter, your own brother/sister. \n\nSecondly what faith one chooses to practice and how they embrace it, be it wearing a kirpan, a burqa, or keeping a shika(choti), etc, especially opinions like what one can or cannot wear/do, lead to more harm than good. We don't live there, it's not our religion, it's not our life, then who are we to condemn and be opinionated about them.\n\nThirdly, whether the kirpan should be allowed inside an educational campus can only be determined by the campus authorities, the local police and the Sikh community representatives there.\n\nYes, he could have and should have worn it on the inside just like so many Brahmins wear the sacred white thread (yajnopavita).\n\nHe could have taken prior permission from the college authorities to freely wear it if possible and all this could have been avoided. Maybe he doesn't get the permission to wear it, who knows, there are countless possibilities.\n\nAnd lastly, I've come across so many comments labelling the Sikhs as Khalistanis, then if there's some other incident, commenting that people of so and so faith are terrorists, etc.\n\nBy all means, please call us Khalistanis, please call us terrorists, call us anything you like, but we'll continue to respect and love everyone.\n\nIt's a shame that our Jawaans are dying on the border fighting for their country, fighting for our country, fighting for us and we are creating divisions amongst ourselves. Petty name calling and what not.\n\nWe are Indians first, any Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Buddhist, or Parsi...Indian getting harassed is my brother/sister getting harassed. Their loss is our loss.\n\nPS: If I have offended anyone, my apologies.

Never in my entire life I’ve seen a Sikh wear this at college. LMFAO. Bruh you’re doing to much.

When in Rome, Do as the Romans Do' refers to the importance of adapting yourself to the customs of the people who are in a certain place or situation and behave like they do.\n\nThis was copied from Google, just one suggestion for fellow Indians Respect other countries rules and regulations too.\nHe could have skipped college for few days or should had taken permission before.

It's a college. Don't bring knife and guns. Simple.

Why do you have to keep a knife at college? You fking in shorts with knife not even having proper shikh outfit.... Is it just for showoff?

A knife is weapon, and a dagger is more so. Period. Unless camping, don't carry a knife on your person. No disrespect to the Sikh, but, if you wouldn't wear a knife on a plane, why would you risk wearing it on your college campus ??

But why to carry such things in school and colleges

your college name and course please?????
