hardeep singh k

shall we all be friends again? i have a lot to learn in life and perhaps you can teach me some of what i need to know. for the record, i'm not a comedian. i'm a comedy writer. i know that sounds pedantic but it's important. (being a comedy writer i am expected to be less funny)

Thanks for those kind words. It just hurts more because it comes from Sikh brothers and sisters. i was always brought up not to judge, I thought that was part of our belief.

Yes. I'm an affectionate and caring person. Is the race of the man I kissed a problem for you? Are you homphobic as well as hating me?

Dear Brothers and Sisters, I have to confess to being shocked and deeply hurt when reading what some of you so called "GurSikhi" folk have written about me. I'm not sure what I have done to deserve such treatment from my own people. I have never said on a programme that i am not a Sikh. Why would I wear a paag and put up with all the ill treatment for so many years? Would it not simple have been better to cut my hair. I am hugely proud of my people and our contribution to world history aolthough when I read some of your comments I wonder what th Gurus would have made of you... "Just as long as he isnt disgracing guroo jee's dastaar by being a 'trim singh', he's lost the plot man, he is not giving a good impression of what a Sikh is... dont know what the hell he's doing! he needs a slap! (ha, i can talk)" Who is disgracing Guru Ji's dastaar? Me or you? Come and slap me then. I welcome you. I never set out to represent anyone but myself. Has anyone seen me on TV or Radio or in the papers pontificating about Sikhism? No, you haven't because my personal belief is that a person's religion is a private matter for themselves. I am in no position to tell others how to live. I don't believe anyone is. As a thinking person who sees great pain and suffering in the world and wars fought in the name of God I admit, I have intellectual issues and challenges with a belief in a higher power. I'm sorry if my personal difficulties with belief and God are a problem for anyone else. I love the Sikh religion, as far as I have experienced it. Of all the world religions I believe it to be the best, the most accepting and accommodating. that was until I read comments like: "I hope he reads this because it would really make me happy to see him embrace Gursikhi instead of running around looking like Ali Baba and the technicolour dream paag." So Gursikhi is the ONLY way? Get real. Everyone is entitled to their own path...that is fundamanetal to Sikhism, is it not? "I am very angry at this man as he openly admitted on tv he only wears a pag for his family and in fact he is anti-religion altogether and wants to see religion in general die out. Coward could atleast cut his hair first rather than do our besti." I'd love you to find this fictitious quote. I have NEVER said this. I wear my paag for me, and for me alone. I have never been under any pressure to wear the paag. In fact I decided at the age of 12 to keep my hair. If you have a problem with that, then I suggest you examine your own belief. I am not defined by my religion or my heritage or by the colour of my skin. And neither are any of you, although you sound like you are. If our Gurus displayed the small mindedness and the petty thinking you display then I am sure there would be no Sikh religion to speak of. Why don't you grow up and start living in the real world. I
