The captain of Jet Airways flight from Milan to New Delhi underwent a harrowing experience as he was forced to remove his turban by the security staff at Milan international airport last night. Captain Ravijot Singh Dhupia, who has been flying on the Delhi-Milan-Delhi sector for a while, was asked to come back for a second security check up even after the entire cabin crew had checked in for the flight. He was taken to a separate room and told to remove his turban, put it in a tray and wait till his headgear passed through the X-ray machine. After the check, he was asked to wear his “hat” again and continue with his duty of flying the aircraft back home. “I felt humiliated,” he told Manohar Singh Gill, Congress MP from Punjab, saying that the security staff did not even know the difference between a “turban” and a “hat”. Though the Ministry of External Affairs has been claiming from time to time that the issue has been taken up not only with the European Union but also its member states but cases of harassment of turbaned Sikhs continue to be reported. Talking to The Tribune over the phone, Manohar Singh Gill said that it was not only in Italy but also in Warsaw (Poland) that security personnel at international airports were picking turbaned Sikh passengers at random and asking them to remove their turbans as part of the security drill.

A Glimmer Of Hope An IminderArts.com auction for an art piece called ‘a Glimmer of Hope’ has helped to raise money forthe Sikh Organisation for Prisoner Welfare (SOPW). The auction which was conducted on the SOPW website concluded on Sunday 9 November 2011. Artisit Iminder Singh, of IminderArts.com, said: “This piece was being auctioned to raise funds for SOPW who are doing amazing work to help innocent Sikh and Non-Sikh prisoners in India and Pakistan. “It coincided with Bandi Chorr Divas when Sree Guru Hargobind Sahib Jee helped release 52 Rajas from Gwalior Prison and returned to Amritsar from captivity. Guru Sahib provided the Rajas with hope and release, and offers us the same freedom from the realms of this world too, through Amrit, Naam and Gurbanee. All we have to do is take one step forward and grab hold of the Hem that Guru Sahib offers. “So just like Guru Sahib provides us with a glimmer of hope, a generous bidder has provided a glimmer of hope for all those innocent prisoners by bidding generously for this piece and helping SOPW to continue doing great Sevaa for the Panth.” Balbir Singh, Director of SOPW, said: “I would like to thank Iminder Singh for providing his art work for such a great cause. His art is truly inspiring and a great way for our organisation to raise money to help fund our projects. “Art is a great avenue for us to take our message of welfare for Prisoners of Conscience forward. These victims have been held in prisons for many years, without trial and without any evidence in the majority of the cases. “They suffer unimaginable difficulties everyday and we only pray that we can provide them with the basis human rights. “I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the winning bidder, who wishes to remain anonymous. They have provided us with the means to continue this Seva and we are grateful to them for this.” About the artist “I have always had the urge to create from a young age. My Mother tells me she too had the same passion whilst studying, so I guess it’s in the genes, and I can’t take all the credit for that. “I studied Art at school, but completely lost touch with it during University, and after graduating I got caught up in the rut of life with work! By occupation, I’m an IT professional. “In 2009, I felt the desire to pick up my brushes again, but found I kept making excuses and putting it off for some reason or another. However, after discussions with some close friends and family about this, I was hugely encouraged to create and share, so that is exactly what I did! “What inspires me? Well, simply, that Mysterious that beholds us all. My work is mostly based around a journey inside, grasping those heart-searching thoughts/feelings that leave our senses Awe-inspired and Wonderstruck. Above all, I try to place the message of Love in Gurbani at the centre of my work. “I don’t class myself as an Artist, simply because I don’t know anything about being one. I have no qualifications, my tools are rugged, and my knowledge about the ‘Art World’ is limited. But after much inspiration from those around me, I’m here to share in what I seek, understand and create, and hopefully inspire others to do the same.” About SOPW The Sikh Organisation for Prisoners Welfare(SOPW) is a Registered Charity (UK), run by volunteers, working to achieve justice for the thousands of Sikhs, who have been illegally imprisoned and tortured in India. SOPW was founded in 2008 by Bhai Balbir Singh;who was arrested in 1999 by Delhi police who said they had found a consignment of RDX explosives. However due to International support for the UK national, the case was taken to the Supreme Court where the judge threw out the charges, calling them a “balloon of falsehoods” after it emerged the RDX in question had come from a police warehouse. Whilst in Tihar jail Balbir Singh met Prof Davinder Pal Singh Bhullar, who implored him to carry the plight of the Sikh Prisoners to the Sikh Diaspora. SOPW is the only charity in the world whose mandate is solely to ensure the civil rights of political Sikh prisoners are ensured in India. Its success and progress is down to the support of the Sangat, we rely on your support to continue and develop this worthy project.

indeed it is, not a sad state, a disgusting state of affairs, robbed of our history and most 'sikhs' dont even know they've been robbed

interesting you should say that, i come across some 'sikhs' who share the viewpoint that they dont care or its the past etc so i make a play on things that seem to effect everyone, i talk about 9/11 and the holocaust and they soon sit up and take notice, so i ask them if those events mean so much to you then why doesnt the genocide of your own people mean anything to you?

his filthy back has been fully covered. he didnt just say khoon ka badla khoon he said other slogans aswell live on doordarshan tv whilst standing next to rajeev. at that time it was the only tv channel available and that (and all other media) was run by the indian government. there was no video cameras commonly available and mobile phones were not invented. it was recorded and telacast repeatedly by doordarshan tv, they refuse to make the footage public. Now it can only been made available by orders of indian court. Sikhs have requested but courts have denied their requests saying that too much time has lapsed. It is also possible that BBC has this footage, but again they wouldnt expose it unless they have a fall out with india. Its a grave shame that we are still trying to seek justice from the sons of bitches that have been and continue to kill us.

is there any actual proof of this, ive tried finding proof but have had difficulty in doing so, im not saying hard evidence i just mean who heard him say what exactly?

I'm not sure whether you're playing a character or spoofing youth / text speak but you're not limited to 120 characters. Express yourself with full sentences! Don't be shy. :nono:

Like it's been said before. BBC Asian is not important, nobody actually pays attention to any of their discussions, it's just there to fill the time of stupid so called 'DJS'
