Following the cancellation of the play, both Guru Nanak Gurudwara, (Smethwick), and Edward Street Gurudwara, (West Brom), received a bomb scare and had to be evacuated. Also the 3 Sikh Councillors, involved in protesting against the play have also received death threats. It looks like this situation is getting out of control

Second theatre cancels Sikh play 09:50am 22nd December 2004 A theatre boss has abandoned his plans to stage a controversial play that another venue pulled because of violent protests. Neal Foster, the actor-manager of the Birmingham Stage Company, offered to put on Bezhti after the Birmingham Repertory Theatre cancelled further shows on Monday. Sikh protesters demonstrating against the play's depiction of rape and murder in a fictional temple were involved in disturbances at the venue on Saturday. Bosses decided to abandon future performances on safety grounds because faith leaders said they could not ensure there would not be a repeat of the violence. Mr Foste…

She is living with Michael Buffong who is of African origin. Maybe people objecting to this has meant she has chip on her shoulder and thus she wants to lash out at sikhi.

Muslims have been through this bulls*** media blitz as we are experiencing now. They must have felt the same emotions time and again in this country. Already some white people are saying that we should all go back to our countries and that we are of the same stock. The damage between white britain and muslim is huge!! despite all the efforts, personally i dnt see how the young muslims will ever truelly feel british or want to be part of this country's precious society. Hardly any of the the youngsters iv met want to, they say they just want to do their own thing, couldnt care less about the white folk. Well i feel the same now, sorry to say, they dnt help us in any w…

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! London cannot allow 'Bezhti' play to be performed. What can we do? We must make our voice hear in large numbers to the right institutions and organisations: Voice your concerns about the play: 1) Abuses Gurbani, playing in the background 2) Has props such as palki sahib, chaur sahib etc 3) Promotes stereotyping of Sikhs 4) Backlash in Birmingham 5) Importance of Gurdwara in Sikhism 6) A blatant attempt to be offensive rather than freedom of speech 7) London as a multicultural city does not stand for this 8) Racism exists in Arts Institutes & they justifying themselves saying its freedom of speech 9) Ope…

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! Pyare jio, I think we are fortunate the world media has moved on with other events, and the sikhs in the new although damaging was not as bad as I thought it could be. The Sun - most read paper - no real coverage, apart from 2 inches on page 19. Nothing to worry about. The Mirror - nothing substantial The Express - full page coverage on page 5 - in favour of playwright, but does mention some sikh quotes. Nothing more damaging than TV news coverage The Daily Mail - Biggest surprise of the day! - full page coverage on page 11, very similar to others, gives playwright better coverage, but does allow sikh comments. How…

back then was waaaay different. ppl didn’t attend higher education or have much to do after the age of like… 13, lol. you’d have 13 year olds boys and girls that know how to do kethi, cook entire meals, etc nowadays even 22 year olds are extremely immature and can be sheltered. the average person doesn’t know how to do anything except their 9-5 which they are probably half arsing as well. -
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.
