I came across this upcoming Bollywood film which is a remake of Forrest Gump. It's produced by Aamir Khan and also starring him. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laal_Singh_Chaddha So who do they choose to play the low IQ dim witted lead character? A full Sardar. It's a disgrace and shows that Bollywood still hasn't changed much in it's portrayals of Sikhs. We're just simple minded do gooders to them.

Sunny Deol is preparing to release Gadar 2: The Katha Continues, a sequence to Gadar: Ek Prem Katha 2001. This Bollywood film will do a lot of harm to Sikhs. The story is about a Sikh who falls in love with a Muslim girl, belonging to an aristocratic family and enters Pakistan illegally at the border. If Bollywood continues making such films then Pakistanis in return make films showing a Muslim hero and a Sikh girl (Larki Punjaban 2003). We should not support Bollywood films and actors that use Sikh character to project their anti-Muslim/anti-Pakistani views and then have Pakistanis make movies showing a Sikh girl-Muslim boy in return.

I REALLY REALLY REALLY HATE THIS M################## I HATE HIMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

I just wanted to make my first post here because this has been playing on my mind for a while now. I feel like Sikhi Kirtan does not have the same passion I hear from other religious musical pieces, and as a result its not inspiring young people. I feel like the popular Kirtans are easy, dull, follows Bollywood/punjabi tunes and therefore lacks originality/identity/spiritualism. I have been listening to Islamic sufi music, Christian hymns and Hindu Kirtans - which I find all sound different and beautiful in their own way. With Sufi music drawing me in the most - even Bollywood adaptations like 'Kun Faya Kun' sound beautiful. With young people, I don't expect Kirtan to modernise, it doesn't need to. Indian Classical Music is and will always remain timeless, if played with passion, dedication and training, then you can draw in anyone no matter where you live. This is why Ravi Shankar and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan broke internal barriers. Unfortunately most of the kirtan tunes these days sound like outdated Indian/punjabi pop music It doesn't help that only Sikhs can play kirtans in many Gurdwaras around the world. Collaboration inspires creativity - isn't that was sikhism was about? Openness to all? Here is a kirtan I think is nicely composed - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHJtedXR5v4

If Sikhs had their own film industry, how would SIkh characters be portrayed?
