With Guru Ji’s grace, a unique event is being organized in remembrance of the devastating Delhi anti Sikh riots which occurred in the wake of a tyrant’s assassination.

This year is the 25th anniversary of the 1984 massacres. Appalling violence descended upon on our brave and precious brothers and sisters by an unjust, blind government. It is time to show that their deeds have not been forgotten. It is time to remember. It is time to reflect.

A twofold approach is being taken for the event itself; discourses for the intellect taking place during the day followed by Kirtan for the soul in the evening. This double edged sword will be utilized to carry across a vital message of the utmost prominence to all Sikhs across the globe. During the day we are arranged for notable speakers to offer discourses and in depth discussions upon the events surrounding the riots. We will also arrange for workshops to take place for various age groups.

To attract the ever diverted youth and to encourage Sangat participation, it was felt that a degree of uniqueness is required to mark the occasion and to promote Ekta, to evoke the true meaning of Sanjha. In line with this, the kirtanee requested to attend are to be paired up and asked to perform Kirtan as a real collaboration with other kirtanee which to our knowledge has not been done before in the UK.

Further details will be made available shortly. We humbly request for the entire UK Sangat to attend this special event to show that we have not forgotten.

With Guru Ji’s grace, a unique event is being organized in remembrance of the devastating Delhi anti Sikh riots which occurred in the wake of a tyrant’s assassination.

This year is the 25th anniversary of the 1984 massacres. Appalling violence descended upon on our brave and precious brothers and sisters by an unjust, blind government. It is time to show that their deeds have not been forgotten. It is time to remember. It is time to reflect.

Many Sikhs in the UK have felt deeply saddened by the fact that this anniversary has gone relatively unmarked. The annual rally which took place in July this year at Hyde Park failed to be broadcasted on any of the mainstream news channels. This ignorance was seen as yet another blow to a Panth whose demands have gone unnoticed for so many years.

It is with this in mind that a strong desire to mark the atrocities was felt. The intention behind the event is to bring together the whole Panth; regardless of what jatha, Sampardha or affiliation they are from. We have only one purpose for this event; for the entire Khalsa brotherhood to unify together and amalgamate as one single entity in remembrance of the Maheen Shaheeds who blissfully obtained martyrdom for the sake of our Panth.

The message we wish to send to the Sangat is simple, it is one of Ekta. It is important that what was an attempt to divide us 25 years ago, now acts as the catalyst to unite us together now as strong as our Guru Ji’s intended the brotherhood to be. What better time to show that the path our Guru’s laid for us is being followed today despite the many obstacles being placed in front of us by kaljug.

Maharaj Ji has benevolently blessed us all with an actual media platform from which we can illustrate how integrated our Khalsa Panth is. Everyday we are shown how the Panth is having to resist with forces such as limited positive press coverage, political propaganda against us as well as disrepute being shown to what are the foundations of our faith. Therefore, every effort will be made to broadcast this event on a global platform.

Vaheguru Jee Ka Khalsa, Vaheguru Jee Kee Fateh!

As the sangat is aware, this year the Sikh nation has commemorated the 25th Anniversary since 1984 - the year when Sant Jarnail Singh Jee Khalsa Bhindranwale was attacked along with thousands more at Sri Harimandir Sahib, the year when Indira Gandhi was shot dead in retaliation of that attack and the subsequent rioting by Hindu mobs which occured around this time of the year in 1984.

A special commemorative event, featuring workshops and keertan with participation from all jathebandhis, will be held in Wolverhampton (UK) on 28th November 2009 at Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara, Sedgley Street.

We want to mark this event and highlight the continuing struggle for justice. If you have any ideas on what we could do on the day, then feel free to reply to this thread and let us know. Alternatively, e-mail info@sikhroots.com

SikhRoots admin.

Depends on what you define as preaching?

In my opinion, Sikhs shouldnt preach. Preaching is interpreted to be quite verbally intense and a preacher has the intentions of almost getting the other person to believe their sermon and getting them to live by it. A Sikh should always be speaking words that may inspire others to follow the path but not in such an intense way as preachers do. Preachers deliver sermons at places of worship but a Gursikh will inspire others 24/7 with his/her every word, his/her every action.

Forgive my mistakes.

Just wondering, it will have been 25 years since Indira Gandhi was shot in 1984 - whats happening in the UK to commemorate the riots...? Any vigils planned? Anything?

Is India marking her death anniversary in any way?

Yep, Joomla is brilliant as bhaji above said, www.joomla.org

There is a Rehansbhai scheduled in Novemember:

Nov 14 2009 to

Nov 15 2009 Raensabaayee Keertan

7:00 PM to 5:00 AM

Guru Nanak Darbar Gurdwara

Khalsa Way, Gravesend, DA12 1LU

Maybe its no biggie to your paneer kid, but to a LOT of people out there, its a big thing - from those who spend 15 hours per day working their socks off to make it the best they can make it, to the people out there who watch it 24/7 or even those online who havent got a nearby Gurdwara to go to learn about Sikhi.

So if its no biggie to you, go start you're fights elsewhere coz it seems fighting (paneer or no paneer) is a big interest of yours

Sikh Channel was the original Sikh Channel - not Sikh World. So lets get this straight okay. Sikh World project began at the beginning of 2009. Sikh Channel project began in 2006. How do i know? Coz i was involved in it personally. There is also proof on the net, links to which have been posted a few times already on this forum. Why we keep going around in circles for?

People pay for Zee TV in their homes yet moan when it comes to Sikh Channel asking for £4 a month. I mean if Sikh Channel was REALLY just PRIMARILY a business, they would do what Zee TV do... that is, punish those who do not contribute by encrypting the signal. Giving that direct debit, unlike other channels, means it not only benefits the person who pays for it, but a whole panth.

Yes, there are many people who dont get along with the owner of the channel. Thats because he doesnt take no crap - if you're no good, he will tell you straight and you will be given your marching orders. From that, people have gone off in a huff and tried to prove him wrong by opening up telephone directories, solicitor firms, channels and so forth. So it doesnt surprise me a few of those people have found SikhSangat.

Be happy such a channel exists. It might not tick ALL your boxes, but what channel out there caters for every single human out there? BBC? ITV? Channel 5? None. There is no such thing as a perfect channel - i love watching comedy, but i dont like all the programmes that come on Paramount Comedy Channel.

In terms of BritAsia, you're wrong. The ownership and running of BritAsia is different. Get your facts straight haters.

Here we go yet again...

I believe GNNSJ Soho Road have the lists too. You could also join : http://www.marryasikh.com/

I personally believe that its a blessing in disguise that Gurdwaras have not offered that much support because otherwise the channel would be forced to succumb to Gurdwara politics and so forth. I think the channel should remain independent from them and be supported by the sangat the way it is running now. Its the sangats channel.

I dont take anything blindly but I am interested to know why, if you say that Baba Vadbagh Singh was a great person, would such a revered organisation like Damdami Taksaal guide the saadh sangat to stay away from these people? Its just a question.

Also, her family didnt take her. One of the cheley "befriended" her and tried to entice her into becoming a follower. She was subjected to abuse and its not always as clean cut easy to go straight to the police with it.

Kindly provide one historical source for the above mentioned story of Baba Vadbagh Singh.

Dalpanth have a different take on Baba Vadbagh Singh, which is colloborated with seperate historical references, its up to you who you choose to believe - you should not accept everything blindly, Taksal or not.

Re 'the story you heard' about this Bibi, sounds like they were trying to exorcise her, I expect thats why her family took her there in the 1st place, because it is a name sake Gurdwara of the original seva dera for these problems, I have no idea what their level of expertise is, but if she has had a bad experience, then why not go to the Police?
