Similarly, the outcomes of the meeting in Leicester and the reactions/responses in Gravesend, East Ham and Coventry to the Sikhs in the Square event.

Met up with Bhaaji on Sat morning and collected posters.

Posters have been put up in Gurdwara and Khalsa Sports Hall.

Posters and postcard have been distributed to members of local Gatka Akhara and other youngsters. There is much interest and word is spreading. Youngsters will be distributing postcards in local schools.

Coaches have been arranged. Gravesend sangat - coaches leave at 12 noon from near Clarence Place Gurdwara.

Keeping pushing and cajoling - and impress upon people that their attendance is vital. Sitting around doing nothing is not an option.

Indira Gandhi

BBC 2 - Tue 25 Oct, 11:20 pm - 12:40 am 80mins

For nearly two decades Indira Gandhi led the world's largest democracy. She was adored by the masses - 20 years after her assassination, she was voted Woman of the Millennium.

And yet she was also corrupted by power, and finally killed by those she trusted most - her own bodyguards. In this documentary profile, her story unfolds like a Greek tragedy: an epic saga of betrayal and dynasty, family feuds and untimely deaths.

Drawing on personal letters and previously unseen archive, the film unravels the mystery of this revered, yet flawed stateswoman.

[The above programme is advertised as appearing on BBC 2. The programme will no doubt show Sikhs in a negative light. It is up to us to put our case in events like Sikhs in the Square on Sunday 6 November 2005 (1:30-4:30pm) and try and ensure it receives maximum media coverage.]
