Today (Friday) I went to see the Film “Hotel Rwanda”. It illustrates and shows the story of the horrific human crimes, the brutal murder of 800,000 Tutsis by the ruling Hutu tribe in Rwanda during a hundred day massacre in 1994. The story is based on the real-life experiences of Paul Rusebagine, who is a kind-hearted and soft-spoken Hutu manager of a the Hotel Des Mille Collines in the city of Kigali. Rusebagine and his family narrowly escape being brutally massacred. Paul Rusebagine is a true hero. He is responsible for the saving the lives of more than 1,200 Tutsis and Hutu sympathisers, by offering them shelter, food and protection in the four walls of his ho…

A CALL TO SIKH YOUTH In recent years Southall and Handsworth, amongst other areas, have become places where `Sikh' youth have gathered to celebrate Vaisakhi. At some point over the years it became `acceptable' to partake in very anti-sikh activities on such an auspicious occasion. Drinking and smoking whilst waving a Nishan Sahib have become commonplace. Such activities, are totally against the fundamental principles of Sikhi. This is an appeal to all Sikhs whether they be amritdhari, turbaned or non turbaned, to consider the implications of what they are doing. Many non-Sikhs now attend Southall because Vaisakhi has become a type of street carnival. Our sacr…
