  1. 6-7 years ago I remember going to a talk at a London uni by this young Singhni (early 20's) about human rights, 84 and general Sikhi, she was really inspiring and thought provoking. I remember people coming out of the talk visibly shaken and inspired. I have often thought of her talk over the years and was recently asked to recommend someone for a talk and thought back to that lecture. Can anyone tell me how to get in contact with her or where she is now
  2. I'm sorry am I missing something here, how does someone expressing intolerant views represent Sikhi. She came across as someone who is trying desperately to be "british" but not realising how ridiculous that is as the only difference between her and MR Mohammed is one of language. So I can speak English that means I have integrated. This selfish attitude of on the one hand giving food to the needy showing how wonderful I am and on the other inferring that the civil war in Somalia wasn't that bad, please do some reading Kiren before saying yes to turning up on tv for self publicity. The Guru teaches us to move beyond tolerance to true compassion, love and respect, and not be judgemental. Even at the end it seemed like she was saying I can't say they are a drain because I have spent time in their personal space - so not because I have learnt anything or my views have changed. Really interesting to see that racist, intolerant undertones are best expressed by a brown face!
