Sikh Day of Protest on Friday 8 July 2005 LONDON


Recommended Posts

Let's be professional and disciplined in getting our message across the media.

We should have ideas for placards and banners for EACH part of the protest:

PART I - DASTAAR

PART II - ABUSE OF SIKH HUMAN RIGHTS

Please post ideas for placards and banners using this thread.

The attached Sikh toon about November 1984 would also make good placards that would be picked up by the media.

Some may say were picking on Manmohan Singh.

I personally do not have a problem using it what do you think?

If there are Sikhs that believe Manmohan Singh may be sympathetic - PROTESTS will help him argue his case.

If Sikhs believe Manmohan Singh is a waste of time - PROTESTS are helpful to highlight the issues so external pressure is brought on the Indian Government.

The following image must be a MUST for several placards for Part II.

Four more Sikh toons for Part II.

First three linked to June 1984, may be less relevant, but 4th directly linked to Manmohan Singh.

What do you think?

This must be worthy of a sticky!

Please!

Sticky or no sticky, please keep posting ideas for placards and slogans we could use with the PA system we hope to have on the day.

Remember we need appropriate placards and slogans for each part of the protest.

Please take the day off and join the protest if you care about the Sikh identity.

Please take time out and stand up for Sikhs denied their human rights.

Please make sure your Gurdwara arranges transport to bring Sikh youngsters to show their passion for the Dastaar.

Please join our demand for the immediate release of Sikh political prisoners.

Let the young and old, men and women, Sikh and non-Sikh come together to demonstrate we need justice for 1984.

SLOUGH TRANSPORT ARRANGEMENTS

Spoke today (Sunday 3 July) at Sri Guru Singh Sabha, Slough about the SIKH DAY OF PROTEST on Friday 8 July.

Transport is likely to be arranged for those who are unable to make their own way.

Please ring Jaspal Singh on 07956 460231 to make a booking. Depending on the numbers that ring minibuses or a coach will be organised.

Please pass the word around (via email, text or telephone) to the Sikh youth of Slough and surrounding areas.

The plan is to leave from Sri Guru Singh Sabha, Slough at 2.00pm sharp on Friday 8 July.

Also spoke about the SIKH LOBBY DAY on Tuesday 12 July.

A poster for each event is being put up and were also given today to Amarjit Singh (General Secretary at the Ramgharia Gurdwara in Slough).

Around 400 postcards detailing both events were given out to the Sangat and the images shown on the large screen using PowerPoint for about 3 hours.

Lots of Sikhs would have got the message. The BBC were also present to make a programme for BBC 2 - they would almost ceretainly have picked up on the large images being shown on the screens for both events.

Please ring Jaspal Singh on 07956 460231 as soon as possible about transport arrangements.

Was it raised at your Gurdwara today?

Yeap - we held a local workshop on 1984; including documentaries; Katha in English on Shaheedi's from Guru Arjan Dev Ji up to the modern day. It was very well attended by local youth and quite a few "seniors".

The protest, lobby day and other campaigns were raised, re-raised and re-re-raised. Erm I mean yeap it was mentioned ad infinitum. There was considerable interest in attendance though it would appear many are planning on making their own way up.

And for those that ain't much literature on protests and 1984 in general was handed out.

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
