Taken From http://khalsapride.com/SikhSpottings/movies.htm In the movie "Little Nicky", when Adam Sandler appears on earth for the 2nd time, he is crossing the road with a dog and a sardar in a black pugh is walking by, and a few minutes later a sardar in a red pugh goes by In the movie "Loser" the main character is hitting on a girl in the cafeteria of a college. A sardar is sitting behind them studying. In the movie 'A little Princess' , a movie made after the novel...a Sikh sardar man is a main character, almost a hero who gives her father the support to get rid of his amnesia and takes care of an old man and helps him move on after his father's death. In the movie 'The English Patient' there is a Sikh from the British army that helps the two 'lovers' In Tim Allen's movie,"Jungle 2 Jungle" an American Sikh wearing a white turban appears in a scene in central park, dancing with a group of people. In the movie "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" there were several Sikh men spotted. Although the Sikh men were playing bad guys, they still did a good job acting.

In the James Bond movie Octupussy, which takes place in India, there are a bunch of sardars in the streets and there were some fighting on the side of the villian against Bond. It was too bad that there were sardars on the wrong side =(, but it was nice to also see 'good' sardars on the streets! They did have good fighting scenes though other english films although made by asians: bend it like beckham, east is east and bhaji on the beach also a film called my mother india, it won a few awards, talks about 1984 riots

no that means they dont represent sikhs, they represent punjabis. its one of the biggest industries in the world, y not b part of it well theres these sikhs already givin themselves a bad name, without bollyowood being involved, who u going to blame now? so you have seen border, has many sikhs in it, can u think of anyting in that film which gives sikhs a bad image...no! but youre again going to overlook that n try yto find the negative aspects. watch border hindustan ka, although it has a typical love story in it like all hindi films, its all about the sikh regiment in the army.

portugal deserve to win, they been brilliant. how can the matches be fixed, i dont think the other team are going to say yea ok u can win, we dont want to win euro 2004. rsingh the golden goal doesnt exist anymore, its the silver goal rule and thats also gonna b stopped after this tournament and its going to be back to extra time, 2half 15mins each back to the portugal team, deco, figo, ronaldo, gomez n manishe are brilliant players, easily gonna win against whoever the play in final.

there was a singh in league of extraordinary gentleman too i think another 1 i remember was a comedy film, black guys go to cornershop and there u have 2 singh shopkeepers. theres a gora comes in with a pistol trying to rob shop n goes gimme all your money u pakis, something distracts the gora n singhs pull out massive machine guns out of nowhere, start shootin n wreck the shop n at the end they go in freshie accent, he shudnt have called us pakis, it was hilarious, its better if u watch if it.

youre sayin these people in the films represented sardars ie guys in paghg and have dhari but theyre not real sikhs are they, and imsre u know that lots of people in india and other places who have pagh n dhari do DRINK!! these people represent punjabis not sikhs! a film where sikhs are properly represented is border hindustan ka, have you seen that film, or do u jus overlook the good points and focus on the negative parts.

there were singhs shown in one of the indiana jones movies and there were short clips of singhs in rush hour and one of the friday films by ice cube think it ws next friday

ok wait a mintue can u even name 1 film where they show sikhs as drunkards and befkoofs, youre just going on wot other ppl are saying.

read what you wrote, u said punjabi/sardar, they are punjabi!!!! punjabi films, hes always a joker innit, what films has he played serious roles in? well youre the 1 that wants them 2 b in bollywood, thats what a lot of bollywood films have these days. look ive been watchin bollywood films for ages i dont c any sikhs show in a negative manner, there character in the film maybe but it doesnt mean that is represents all sikhs. yes sikhs are shown in comic roles but also brave too in many films, because of the fact that sikhs are brave and there are a lot of comedian sardars like gurpreet ghugii and jas pal bhatti.

er hello its 1947 during the partition, these things did happen.jaspal bhatti is in some bollywood films, also hes a comedian and all the films he appears in is as a comic role, then ppl like u say there we go again makin the sikh look like a joker. Jaspal Singh Sehgal - voted most handsome man, therefore he would b playing a role of main actor, and in nowadays films, would u like for him to b running after girlsand touching up half naked girl in songs. YES AND WHO THEY HAVE ARE BEING USED!! theres booby deol, sunny deol, chandrachur singh, jimmy shergill, ajay devgan and many more who are used to represent sikhs in bollywood films, but then u say they should not b sed to represents the sikh image.

no they didnt want to rape her they wanted to kill her to avenge what had happened to their mothers n sisters. you say y doesnt bollywood have proper sikhs in films well how many sikh actors do u know of, if any the actors will have 2 approach bollywood, directros and producers arent going to go out of their way to find 1 or else they'll jus put a pagh n dhari on any random person

exactly as u said, SOME films do this not all. anyway when you say they show this 'sikh' to b a drunkard thats wrong, they show a punjabi 'sardar' they dont show a sikh of the guru with the 5k's on drinking sharab do they, isnt that how we define a real skh. nataks and serials, exactly theyre nataks theyre not real its just a programme

Baba Banda Singh Bahadur Shaheed Baba Banda Singh Bahadur came to the Punjab scene in 1708 when the Mughal government was planning the genocide of the Sikhs, but the daring deeds of the Khalsa under his leadership made the Sikhs the rulers of the eastern region of the state. Banda was born on 16 October 1670 at Rajori Village in Jammu. He was named Lachman Das. Wrestling, horseback riding, and hunting were his major hobbies. As a young man he shot a deer and was shocked to watch the mother and her aborted doe writhing in pain and dying. After this gloomy scene he had a change of heart. He left his home and became a disciple of a Bairagi sadhu who gave him the name Madho Das. In the company of the sadhus he traveled to Nanded, situated on the bank of the river Godawari, where he built a hut to meditate upon God Banda joins Khalsa Panth In September of 1708, Guru Gobind Singh happened to go to Madho Das’ hut while hunting. Madho Das was impressed by the personality of the Guru. The Guru asked him, “Who are you?” In great humility, he replied, “I am your banda (slave).” After taking Amrit, he was given a Sikh name, Gurbakhsh Singh – but he remained popular known as Banda. Historians, therefore, mention him as Baba Banda Singh Bahadur, or simply as Banda Bahadur. Guru Gobind Singh hoped that Emperor Bahadur Shah would fulfill his promise and do justice in the Punjab by punishing the Governor of Sirhind and his accomplices for their crimes aga inst the people. Finding him reluctant, the Guru deputed Banda Bahadur, under the leadership of five Sikhs, to end state terrorism in the Punjab. On his way to the Punjab, Banda punished robbers and other criminal elements which made him popular with the people. Banda possessed no army. Instead, his strength lay in the Hukamnama (edict) of Guru Gobind Singh to the people of Punjab, calling them to arms under the leadership of Banda to overthrow and destroy the oppressive rulers. This sent such a wave of relief and enthusiasm among the people that some even sold their bullocks and property to purchase arms. Not only the Sikhs saw Banda as their deliverer but the oppressed Muslims and Hindus also joined him in the popular revolt against the tyrants. Victories of Banda Bahadur Banda had approximately 500 men with him when he reached the borders of the Punjab. He easily took over two centers, Sonepat and Kaithal. Meanwhile, more people joined him. Samana, a large Mughal city famous for minting coins, was conquered on 11 November 1709. About 20,000 people are said to have been killed there. With the treasury in their hands, the Sikhs became financially stable. Two other army centers, Mustafabad and Sadhora (near Jagadhari), were also taken. These victories of the Sikhs sent a clear signal of coming events to Wazir Khan, the Governor of Sirhind. He knew that justice was about to be delivered and he would soon be punished for his crimes. Wazir Khan lost his sleep and started collecting his army and ammunition. He sent urgent orders to all the commanders in the region, and also recruited mercenaries. Another jatha of the Sikhs gathered near Anandpur Sahib and marched towards Sirhind but their advance was blocked by a section of the state army. A bloody battle took place at Ropar (Roop Nagar) in which both of the Mughal commanders were killed. Afterwards, there was nobody to check the jatha from joining B anda. The Sikhs were now ready for their final battle to become the rulers of the Cis-Satlej areas of the Punjab. The Sikhs, although they did not have the required arms to defeat the army, were emotionally charged with the memory of the cold-blooded murder of the two youngest sons of Guru Gobind Singh at Sirhind. They attacked the city on 12 May 1710 and were its masters on 14 May. The death of Wazir Khan and his lackeys brought a long awaited relief to the people. In his first administrative order, Banda gave the ownership of the land to the farmers and let them live in dignity and self respect. Petty officials were also satisfied with this change. Nawab Ameen-Ul Daula mentions the new image of the Sikhs in these words: “Dindar Khan, an official of the nearby village, took Amrit and became Dindar Singh. The newspaper writer of Sirhind, Mir Nasir Uddin, became Mir Nasir Singh.” Founding of the Khalsa Rule In the north-east of the Punjab, between Sadhora and Nahan, Banda developed the village Mukhlis Garh, made it his capital and renamed it Lohgarh (fortress of steel). He established his own mint. One side of the coin reads: The power of the sword granted by Guru Nanak won the two worlds. Guru Gobind Singh became victorious by the grace of the True Lord. The other side reads: Issued from the beautiful capital of Good Luck, a place of peace for the world. The official papers were identified by the stamp: The authority for service was received from Guru Nanak, Guru Gobind Singh. Banda sent Sikhs to the Uttar Pradesh (U.P.), a large state to the north of Delhi, because of charges against many state officials and administrators regarding repression of the people, particularly of harassment of non-Muslims. The Sikhs took over Saharanpur, Jalalabad, and other areas nearby, bringing relief to the population. Also, in the west of the Satlej, and in the regions of Jallandar and Amritsar, the Sikhs s tarted fighting for the rights of the people. They used the newly established power of the people to remove many corrupt officials, and replaced them with honest ones. The march of the Emperor The rule of the Sikhs over eastern Punjab obstructed the communication between Delhi and Lahore, the capital of Punjab, and it worried Emperor Bahadur Shah. He gave up his plan to subdue the rebels in Rajasthan and marched towards Punjab. The entire Indian force was organized to defeat and kill Banda Bahadur. The governors were ordered to immediately dispatch their armies to the Punjab, and new fighters were recruited. All the generals were directed to join the Emperor’s army. To ensure that there were no Sikh agents in the army camps, an order was issued on August 29, 1710 to all Hindus to shave off their beards. The emperor knew that the Sikhs loyal to their faith would not cut their beards, hence would leave his army, and would not be able to spy. Meanwhile, the Sikhs, after taking Sirhind and founding their capital, spread to different regions in U.P. and Punjab. Banda, himself, was in U.P. when the army marched to Sirhind. Before the return of Banda, they had already taken Sirhind and the areas around it. The Sikhs, therefore, moved to Lohgarh for their final battle. As soon as the emperor’s army reached there, the Sikhs fell upon them and defeated them. Khafi Khan writes, “The sudden attack of the fakirs (Sikhs) threatened the army seriously. Watching their dead and wounded, one could conclude that the army is losing the battle.” Kanwar Khan describes the battle in these words: “I saw with my eyes every wretched Sikh jumping out of his trench, attacking the soldiers bravely and dying fearlessly.” However, ever increasing supplies of men and materials to the army generals fighting Banda, helped them to take over the fort. Sikhs lost two of their commanders and 2,500 men. Baba Banda Singh left the fort at night and w ent to a secret place in the hills. The failure of the army to kill or catch Banda shocked the Emperor. On 10 December 1710 he ordered that, wherever a Sikh was found, he should be murdered. The Emperor lost his mental balance, became sick and died on 18 February 1712. Banda takes over Hill Rajas Banda wrote letters to the Sikhs to get themselves reorganized and form groups to fight state repression. The Sikhs gathered near Keeratpur and defeated Raja Bhim Chand in the Spring of 1711. He was responsible for organizing all the hill rajas against Guru Gobind Singh and instigating battles with him. Bhim having been completely routed, other rajas willingly accepted their subordinate status, and paid revenues to Banda. When the new Emperor, Farakhsyar, sent a strong force to arrest him, Banda moved away from the Punjab to the Jammu hills, where he stayed for about a year. Arrest of Banda Bahadur In March 1715, Baba Ji entered the Punjab near Gurdaspur. He was in the village of Gurdas Nangal, when the army laid siege to it. The Sikhs fought bravely and defended the small fort for eight months. Mohd Quasim writes: The brave and daring deeds of the infernal Sikhs were amazing. Twice or thrice a day, some forty or fifty Sikhs would come out of their enclosure to gather grass for their animals. When the combined forces of the imperialists went to oppose them, they made an end of the Mughals with arrows, muskets, and swords. Such was the terror of the Sikhs, that the commanders of the royal army prayed that God might so ordain things that Banda should seek his safety in flight from the village. However, on 7 December 1715, the exhausted and starving Sikhs were tricked when Banda was approached to reconcile with the Government and meet the commander to discuss the terms for making him the Governor of Jammu. He was arrested instead and put in an iron cage. Other Sikhs were captured, chained and brought to Delhi in a procession. Along with 700 Sikh prisoners from the Punjab, there were 2,000 Sikhs heads hung on spears at the head of the procession to terrorize the population. They were put in the Delhi fort and pressured to give up their faith and become Muslims. On their firm refusal all of them were ordered to be executed. Every day, one hundred Sikhs were brought out of the fort and murdered in public. This horrible butchering of the Sikhs was witnessed and documented by many. The brave Sikhs showed no sign of dejection or humiliation, instead they sang their sacred hymns; none feared death or gave up his faith. The British Embassy at Delhi recorded, “It is not a little remarkable with what patience they undergo their fate and to the last it has not been found that one apostatized from this new formed religion.” According to a Muslim historian, a nobleman received permission to see Banda Singh Bahadur before he was executed. He asked Banda Singh, “It is surprising that one who shows so much acuteness in his features and so much nobility in his conduct, should have been guilty of such horrors.” With the greatest composure, Banda replied, “I will tell you, whenever men become so corrupt and wicked as to relinquish the path of equity and to abandon themselves to all kinds of excesses, then the Providence never fails to raise up a scourge like me to chastise a race so depraved; but when the measure of punishment is full then he raises up men like you to bring him to punishment.” On 9 June 1716, Banda’s eyes were gouged, his limbs severed, his skin removed and then he was killed. Baba Banda Singh Bahadur thus became a martyr. A Bairagi, having become an Amritdhari Sikh, committed himself to live as a protector of the rights of the people. He offered his own life while fighting the tyranny of the state. Though his rule was short-lived, reforms brought about by him still exist today. Banda Singh demonstrated that the people have within them the power to topple tyrannical rulers. Subsequently, the people, guided by the Khalsa, destroyed the oppressive rulers of Punjab and became the masters of their state. [source:http://www.sikhism.com/khalsagenerals/bandasinghbahadur.htm]

its all good talkin on the net n sayin i would i would, but its easier said than done

the sweden and denmark match was a fix, look at the goal sweden scored in the last minute, the denmark keeper jus gave the ball away to the sweden player. it was hilarious tho italy thought they had won and they were through, but then they realised that sweden n denmark match was a draw :wub:

i love that track!! theres a version of it sung by amar arshi its really good. if u r talking about the following, i think it means that guru nanak dev ji gave love to both hindus and muslims and that he explained that ram and raheem is one.

tut!! it wont stop them from winning when they got players like henry, zidane and pires, thuram and the list goes on before sweden scored the 2nd goal against bulgaria, they were getting thumped. anyway its as i said without larson u r nothing, larson scored 2 out of the 5 n won the penalty, rest of your team are blonde freaks, ibrahamovic lol he didnt have a clue wot he was doing when he scored against italy. holland have been such a dissapointment :wub: @ but they can still go through
