  1. It is ironic that Sikhs are justifiably criticising the ban of the film as an attack on the democratic concept of freedom of speech. However what about the attempts of some Sikhs to prevent people like Sarbjit Singh Dhunda from speaking at Gurdwara`s? It seems freedom of expression is only worth championing if and when it suits.

  2. Bhindranwale being alive or not is an issue.

    It was created by sections of the Damdami Taksal saying Bhindranwale is alive.

    Any questioning of this claim was met by aggression and hostility and statements like "you calling Baba Jee (Baba Thakur Singh) a liar".

    I went to one of these Damdami Taksal meets as a matter of curiosity a few years ago.

    The speakers clearly stated that Bhindranwale is alive. He was taken from Golden Temple complex by 5 Singhs. They

    showed a video of Baba Thakur Singh Jee at Wolves Gurdwara saying all this.

    Now these very people are refusing to say he is alive. They are saying he is in "chardi kala" because it is finally dawning on them that they are being made to look stupid.

    A lot of these very same people are pro prakash of Dasam Granth.

    Again, any questioning of this is met by aggression and hostility.

    Intimidation is being used and attempts made to stop those who oppose the prakash from speaking.

    This post contains no derogatory remarks of Bhindranwale or Dasam Granth.

  3. you're just a paranoid vampire! what you after, monaism to be preached in Gurghars and other sikh platforms.?

    No, I just want the teachings of Guru Granth Sahib Jee to be preached in Gurdwaras.

    Not rehitnamas or other texts.

    Is not Guru Granth Sahib Jee supposed to be the be all and end all of Sikhi?

    It is claimed that there are around 750 000 Sikhs in the UK. It is therefore very surprising to learn that the Sikh Channel is still struggling to reach their target of 10,000 direct debits.

    However as monay are not considered to be Sikh, the figure of 750,000 goes down a very large proportion.

    The Sikh Channel also invites preachers to promote the view that monay are not Sikhs - even though Guru Granth Sahib Ji does not state this. More emphasis is placed on rehitnamas and other texts than Guru Granth Sahib Ji. The Sikh Channel is therefore alienating the vast majority that are monay and not surprisingly struggling to reach their target of direct debits.

    The Sikh Channel will continue to struggle unless it is brave enough to promote the teachings of Guru Granth rather than extrimist preachers or rehitnamas. Sadly Sikhism is all about rehitnamas and less about Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

    So all that is impt is the Name of God - not the way one looks or rituals he keeps.

  8. people now a days tend to follow man-made rituals not GOD

    GOD is your inner-guru and if we follow his command, the world will become heaven

    there will be no religion, true religion will be love, if the god is 1 and same, how can we be different???

    why did guru nanak dev ji said There is no hindu or muslim???? because we are all one and same

    all of us have that same god in us. halal or jhatka, meat is meat, you eat it if you choose to and not if you dont want to

    listen to your heart, guru nanak dev ji said only fools argue over meat but dont know about spirituality.

    So we should focus on spirituality, do selfless service, simran, donate, practicse humbleness, compassion and love for everyone, see the world one as same.

    this is the only path to GOD, no other path. no religion ritual gets u to GOD.

    only dying whilst alive, living for others take u to GOD.

    Some of the peeps on here are beginning to sound like Islamic fanatics.

  10. If people believe Sikhi is the only way to God - means no one reached God prior to Guru Nanak.

    The Guru Granth Sahib Jee itself states the opposite.

    One needs to love GOD and live righteously.

    All other things are secondary.

    Meaning anyone of whatever religion can have God.

    As it states in the Sukhmani Sahib - "the Name of God resides in all Godmen of any religion".

    And further the "best religion is singing Gods praises"

  11. Looks like the nazi admin have edited my original post because i called these so called sikhs 'Taliban'.

    Since when was ' Taliban' a swear word?

    Anyway if people are going to behave like thugs like those in Afghanistan they deserve to be compared with them, no matter if they are dressed in Sikh clothing and shout Sikh slogans.

    It might become just that due to your efforts. It is because of people like you that people in west associate sikhs with muslims. If they are thugs what are you? Sant Sipahi? What have you done for society to judge others?

    Anyways what about hindus in U.S who complained against love guru? are they not taliban? And what about the vanar sena of hindus in jammu? What are they?

    No problem with protests but smashing up property is something else.

    If Hindus smashed up places due to love guru that is wrong as well. Did they?

    I judge people by their actions, so what if these thugs do so much paath, doesn't show it by their actions. Behaving like children with a tantrum. They need to do even more paath

    Friday, August 8, 2008: (Amritsar):

    A group of Sikhs pelted stones at a local theatre here running the opening show of Akshay Kumar-starrer Singh is Kinng, alleging that the film depicts the community in a distorted manner.

    The youth, carrying the portrait of slain militant leader Jarnail Singh Bhindranwala and armed with naked swords, pelted stones at the 'Annam' theatre in a bid to disrupt the show, but timely arrival of police foiled their attempts.

    As soon as the police arrived, the youth fled from the scene and the show continued without any disruption.

    Security personnel have been deployed in strength at 'Annam' and another theatre Rialto, where the movie is being screened.

  14. The bad thing is that many of the victims themselves were Sikhs!!!!!! See the list and you will see there are so many Singhs and Kaurs!!!!!!!

    Comeon, why did they go there? Waheguru punished them!

    But not only here, in each mandir of Punjab, Haryana or Himachal you will see Sikhs there... Why???

    What a pathetic comment from a sad fanatic.

    Does this mean that Waheguru punished the 1978 Sikhs for confronting the Nirankaris?

    Or that Bhindranwale and the sangat at Harimandir Sahib were punished for confronting the Indian gov't?

    Maybe Waheguru sought fit to kill and rape the thousands of Sikhs for the assassination of Indira Gandhi in 84??????????
