Sat Sri Akal: Just got off the phone with my brother. He tells me that Sanjay Dutt, in some award show sponsored by this organization: http://www.pritishnandycom.com/, Sanjay Dutt takes a cheap shot against Sikhs. Sanjay Dutt was seen making the following joke: "Let me tell you a joke. Two Sikhs are playing chess. That is the joke." - thereby challenging that Sikhs are too stupid to play chess. Just getting the awareness that this has happened. Planning for appropriate steps to take against this are already being considered, with priority to Sikh organizations in India to take action and empower the Sikhs there to do something. Stay tuned!!! AND STOP WATCHIN…

Yeah Dhadi and Kaweshria are known for joking around now and then. -
Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
