I was just watching " The Fab 40 " on MTV today (Saturday 15, 13:00, MTV) Its a show that Explores the lives of well-known celebrities. There was an item on the show reagrding celebrity harir styles, and how celebrities buy the hair of <admin-profanity filter activated> brides shorn off before marriage ceremonies in India. They then went on to say such hair is purchased by stylists from sacred temples, a6t which point they put up a picture oif Harmindar Sahib on the screen- now thats misrepresentation for you! Maybe they should do a little research before they run off making TV programmes!

WJKK WJKF Dear fellow British Sikhs with whats look like an election year I am curious what are the voting intentions are of the Sikhs. Overwhelmingly British Sikhs vote Labour but as a Sikh I feel the Labour Party for far too long taken our votes for granted. I feel the Labour Government has let the Sikhs down in the following areas:- 1) Introduction of Student Fees (affected Sikhs & Hindus the most because as an ethnic group we are have the largest percentage that go on to University). 2) The failure to introduce positive discrimation. Sikhs vastly under represented in the Public Sector (NHS, Police, Armed Forces) Directorships, Media, Sports, Politics. etc. …

VJKK VJKF THIS is some mind-blowingly beautiful slow soothing keertan!!!!! If you loved the acapella stuff before... u will adore this... http://www.sikhifm.com/pl_veermanpreetsingh.htm Veer Manpreet Singh is an amazing young and talented keertani who is currently in the UK as a Granthi at Ramgharia Sikh Temple in Wolverhampton City.

You can feel the huge amount of pyaar he has for Sikhi in his keertan. He has earned the respect of so many youths in Wolverhampton for his fantastic keertan, his overwhelming knowlege, his excellent communic…

http://www.southasianmedia.net/cnn.cfm?id=...e&Country=INDIA A daring, moving work Thursday, January 06,2005 NEW DELHI: Shonali Bose's Amu is one of the most significant films to come out of India in years. Rarely have we seen a recent Indian film that is so daring, weaving in big political, feminist themes with such sophistication. Yet it is a film that we will long remember precisely because all of these are subsumed under a moving, emotional mother-daughter tale. It is told with an integrity that shoots straight through the heart. How ironic then, that this debut film has been made by a U.S.-based non-resident Indian. Amu is set against the backdrop of the horr…

Gurfateh, I’m noticed on many web sites mainly used to introduce Sikh to the west are using many references to “its ok for Sikhs to eat Jhatka Meat". and now on message broads ( BBC) many hindus are attacking this idea. i know that it is wrong but there are not quote that i can find in the SGGS ji. i think it is important that Gursikhs try to stop this because these web sites( sikhs.org and bbc.co.uk) are used by teaches in schools to educate kids in schools. eg i found this on the sikh.org site. Jhatka Meat Meat of an animal which has been killed quickly with one stroke. Guru Gobind Singh dictated that Sikhs can eat jhatka meat of any animal but cannot eat Musli…

Just wondered why we celebrate Lohri? There was katha at the gurdwara yesterday in which the Gyani said that we celebrate Lohri because of the defeat of the mahan Gursikh Bhagat Prahlad's Bhooaa (aunt), who was called Holika and the fact that Prahlad was saved. Someone else I spoke to, told me that this is not the reason why Lohri is celebrated but this marks the festival of Holi. Fateh
