If its not informative to you at least its inpirational! :WW:

Sikh Regiment Victoria Cross Winners

Captain Ishar Singh was the first Sikh soldier to win a Victoria Cross, the highest award for valour in the British Empire. Instituted in 1856 and given until March, 1943, the Victoria Cross was made from guns captured by the British at Sebastopol during the Crimean War. The right to receive the VC was extended to Indian soldiers only in 1911.

On 10 April 1921 near Haidari Kach, North West Frontier, India, Sepoy Ishar Singh was No. 1 of a Lewis gun section. Early in the fighting he was severely wounded, all the officers and havildars of his company became casualties and his Lewis gun was seized. He recovered the gun and went into action again although his wound was bleeding profusely, but when ordered to have it dressed, he went instead to help the medical officer, carrying water to the wounded, taking a rifle and helping to keep down enemy fire and acting as a shield while the medical officer was dressing a wound. It was nearly three hours before he submitted to being evacuated. Later achieved rank of Captain.

London Gazette supplement

25 November 1921

Sepoy Ishar Singh gained his Victoria Cross "for most conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty on the 10th April 1921, bear Haidar Kach (Waziristan). When the convoy protection troops were attacked, this Sepoy was No. 1 of a Lewis Gun Section. Early in the action he received a very severe gunshot wound in his chest and fell beside his Lewis gun. Hand-to-hand fighting being comemnced, the British office, Indian officer, and all the Havildars of his company were either killed or wounded, and his Lewis gun was seized by the enemy.

"Calling up two other men, he got up, charged the enemy, recovered the Lewis gun, and, although bleeding profusely, again got the gun into action.

"When his Jemadar arrived, he took the gun from Sepoy Ishar Singh and ordered him to go back and have his wound dressed. Instead of doing this, the Sepoy went to the medical officer, and was of great assistance in pojnting out where the wounded were, and in carrying water to them. He made innumerable journeys to the river bank and back for this purpose. On one occasion, when the enemy fire was very heavy, he took the rifle of a wounded man and helped to keep down the fire. On another occasion he stood in front of the medical officer who was dressing a wounded man, thus shielding him with his own body. It was over three hours before he finally submitted to be evacuated, being then too weak from loss of blood to object.

"His gallantry and devotion to duty were beyond praise. His conduct inspired all who saw him." (London Gazette supplement, 25 November 1921)

Sikh Regiment, Indian Army Campaign

Second World War

Age 29

On 11/12 March 1944 on the Maungdaw-Buthidaung Road, Burma (now Myanmar), Naik Nand Singh, commanding a leading section of the attack, was ordered to recapture a position gained by the enemy. He led his section up a very steep knife-edged ridge under very heavy machine-gun and rifle fire and although wounded in the thigh, captured the first trench. He then crawled forward alone and, wounded again in the face and shoulder, nevertheless captured the second and third trenches.

Later achieved rank of Jemadar.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On 2 March 1945 on the road between Kamye and Myingyan, Burma (now Myanmar), where the Japanese were strongly positioned, Naik Gian Singh who was in charge of the leading section of his platoon, went on alone firing his tommy gun, and rushed the enemy foxholes. In spite of being wounded in the arm he went on, hurling grenades. He attacked and killed the crew of a cleverly concealed anti-tank gun, and then led his men down a lane clearing all enemy positions. He went on leading his section until the action had been satisfactorily completed

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On 16/17 February 1945 at Kanlan Ywathit, Burma (now yanmar), Jemadar Prakash Singh was commanding a platoon which took the main weight of fierce enemy attacks. He was wounded in both ankles and relieved of his command, but when his second-in-command was also wounded, he crawled back and took command again, directing operations and encouraging his men. Being again wounded in both legs, he continued to direct the defence, dragging himself from place to place by his hands. When wounded a third time and dying, he lay shouting the Sikh battle-cry, so inspiring his company that the enemy were finally driven off. Killed In the above action.

At the beginning of the program they said that digital viewers could press the red button to watch the program in other languages, I wonder if they translated it?!?!

Did anyone see the programme afterwards on bbc4 I think it was called midnights grandchildren about

three British teenagers travel to Punjab to see how their families were affected by the events of partition in 1947 one was a Sikh girl from Crawley a Hindu Girl & a Muslim Guy.

LIVERPOOL!

C'mon you REDS!!!!

600 up.......... Apple Krumble is kicking <admin-profanity filter activated>!

I remember going to camp a few years ago in Walsall, I went for 5 years (I think), it was top stuff I lernt a lot! :nihungsmile:

I saw that it v.v. funny :wub: .

He came in with a Bhinda Jatt song "Putt Sardaran Da".

Nope. I wouldnt even think that but giving you the benefit of doubt if that was the case Guru Ji could have kept one sahibzada away from the war.

Never really thought of it that way! :wub: @

Why you giving me the benefit of doubt for?

Just something I was pondering over the other day, when Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji made the decision that the Sri Guru Granth Sahib was the next and final Guru do you think when he lost his four sons in the years previous this was a influence on his decision?

If she does want to get out it would probably be best to get out before there are any children involved.

I used to like him, what a ******!

How do you spell baman/bahman/bhaman?

On a practical point, If we agree that only Amritdhari's can have Anand karaj then the vast majority of Sikhs are going to be left high and dry for a marraige ceremony. As bhaji has said, we shouldn't emotionally blackmail any one into Amrit, so what do we do with those people who are Sikhs but not amritdahri.

We cannot ignore them. and we should not turn them away, as this is a sure way of turning them away from sikhi. Sure some may already be away from sikhi and the Anand Karaj for them is just a showcase, but there will be many who genuinly have piyare of sikhi but not at that stage where they can take amrit.

We need to cater for them. do we have some sort of ceremony not in the presence of Guru sahib Ji? Do we just give them a civil ceremony?

Very true, we have enough problems at the moment with people moving away from Sikhi without people actually pushing people away. But the idea of people not having a ceromony in the presence of Guru ji in no a very good one, you might as well say if you are not Amritdhari you can't matha tek infront of Guru ji.

Sorry posted in wrong section.

Admin could you move this please.

I recently had a conversation with a production company who were very interested in doing a docu/drama in the style of the recently aired Rome (series on the BBC) on some Sikh history. They are aware of the controversy of people playing Sikh historical figures but wanted to know how far they could go back in history to be able to achieve a docu/drama style of production.

Homer: No offense Apu, but when they're handing out religions you must be out taking a whizz.

Apu: Mr. Simpson, pay for your purchases and get out...and come again.

Apu: Please do not offer my god a peanut.

Apu: I have come to make amends, sir. At first, I blamed you for squealing, but then I realized, it was I who wronged you. So I have come to work off my debt. I am at your service.

Homer: You're selling what, now?

Apu: I am selling only the concept of karmic realignment.

Homer: You can't sell that! Karma can only be portioned out by the cosmos.

Apu: He's got me there.

Apu: By the 7 arms of Visnu, I swear it. I am not a Hindu.

Homer: God bless those pagans.

Barney: Jesus must be spinning in his grave!

Apu: Shiva H. Vishnu!

Scully: Homer, we're going to ask you a few simple yes or no questions. Do you understand?

Homer: Yes. (lie dectector blows up)

There are so many more. The Simpsons genius comedy.
