Gurfateh!!

I've seen the video to the song with all the Singhs in it, and i think its disgusting that the actors cnt evn cover their heads while in the presence of Shastar andother Gursikhs where everyone has their head covered.

I was also disappointed the the Nihangs agreed to it but then again people in india would do anything to get on the big screen :@

Gurfateh!!

Since you are talking about movies, has anyone of you seen pakistani movies ?? Recently I am watching quite a few since I get a pakistani movie channel on DTH. In these movies all hindus are either acting as jokers or busy killing women and children (they do not have the strength of course to stand up to the Mard-e-momin pakistani male, so..) and are 24/7 plotting up some devious plans to con everybody else especially the muslims. Hindus are always tied hair in a ponytail and are almost always acting like jokers, and none of them can win a fight against the brave muslim male. In a movie I am watching just now there is a hindu Dacoit called Mohan Chand and he is on the verge of converting to Islam...

Treatment of Sikhs is different, Sikhs are villains and often paired up with hindus but Sikhs are always honorable villains and in the end of the movie convert to Islam. There are also some stereotypes as the 'drunkard' and 'clown' etc but those are relatively few compared to the brave Sikh anti-hero who converts to Islam and supposedly sees the light in the end. In one movie the hero was drinking profusely in front of a monument which had a golden dome. The on movie the camera focuses on a golden dome repeatedly and the hero who is sikh is shown to be drinking in front of it while bringing a kidnapped muslim women to marry. There is also the rare mention of Christians who are always shown to be drunkards and womanizers.

Added ltr: Ok as I predicted the daku (dacoit) Mohan Chand has converted to Islam.

maybe the film with the nihang singhs is not deframing sikhi..........maybe they agreed to get on the big screen so that ppl are more aware about sikhi ..............

if sikhs are only allowed to appear in films which are strictly rehit then we wud never have any sikh awareness in films ....... there would only be a few but thats it.

You gotta remember its only a movie........... and think of it as a positive thing that they are using sikhs in films. i know what you guys mean but we need to let sikhs get noticed ......... and obv ther are limits

WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH

Check this link out about this film:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/4598666.stm

Going out of topic...

The films about:

Rang de Basanti - directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra - tells the story of a young English film-maker who comes to India to make a documentary on the people who fought for India's independence.

The documentary director, played by Alice Patten, recruits five college students to play the roles of the freedom fighters, even though they do not identify with the characters.

Its a film with inaccuracies in about the Indian mutiny in 1857!

Today the Indian Air Force, who earlier had a problem with this movie, cleared it. Apparently they show a scene where the defense minister accepts bribe, and bang we have a controversy! So the defense minister also had to watch the movie and he too gave it a green signal (so he does take bribes? LOL.gifLOL.gif ). Then there is something about Indian Air Force jets crashing and the pilots' families not getting the promised compensation.

But I must say I am jealous of Aamir Khan :) . He gotta chance to do what I didn't get a chance to do.

He did ishnaan at the sarowar at Sri Darbar Sahib :@ !!!!!

      Islam has become Redpilled in the West...Everyone is converting to Islam

      So, are you saying Guru ji isn't God? Or are you saying the British encouraged this belief?

      Amritsar and Punjab: left out of the New Silk road

      By BhForce · Posted

      Part of the problem is the hostilities between India and Pakistan. If the border were open, Amritsar would easily become a huge trading city. Secondly, the National Highways Authority of India is constructing a new 6-lane expressway from Kashmir, through Amritsar/Jalandhar/Ludhiana to Dehli which will be part of the Ludhiana-Delhi-Kolkatta Industrial Corridor.  Maps of the New Silk Road show Kolkata as a key part of the "road". The Punjab to Kolkata expressway and rail connections will fulfill the ability to hook up to the New Silk Road.  In addition, while crossing to Pakistan via AH1 (Asian Highway 1) is difficult, India does connect to AH1 on the other side, towards the East. Finally, Punjab can trade with the world via Mundra port in Gujurat. Rail to Mundra, then sea onwards. Dubai is very close with a free port. If you send products to Iran, there are ground links onward to Europe.

      Child marriage questions

      By BhForce · Posted

      Yeah, that's one possibility. Another I initially thought is that it's a Muslim trying to gather info. But then, you might ask, how does he know about Sikh textual sources. Well, you'd be surprised at their resourcefulness. A final possibility is he's a weak Sikh who was asked a question by a non-Sikh and now he's suddenly feverishly wondering where it's "written" that you can't marry a young child. To the latter, I would say, you're looking in the wrong spot. Gurbani isn't a 1428 page rulebook, like Leviticus or the Vedas: ਸਿਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਸਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਪੁੰਨ ਪਾਪ ਬੀਚਾਰਦੇ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਬਾਝਹੁ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ The Simritis and Shastras discriminate between charity and sin, but know not the essence of the Real Thing. Without the Guru, they know not the essence of the Reality, know not the essence of the Reality. Anand Sahib.

      Starched Turbans - Topi Or Not Topi

      By BhForce · Posted

      You're confusing two different things: One is merely adding starch to a turban to get a certain feel to the fabric. The other is tying your turban once and taking it off like a hat. It is this that people have a problem with. What's wrong with it is that Rehit says to tie your turban afresh every time. If you ask, "Where is that written?", it's written in Bhai Nand Lal ji's Rehitnama. @ipledgeblue didn't just make it up. Umm, no, bro. We're not evangelical Christians like President George W Bush of the US claiming to "talk to God" who told him to invade Iraq. "Speaking to him directly" basically ends up being doing whatever you feel like with the excuse that Guru ji told you to do it. If you still want to take your turban off like a hat, feel free to do so, but don't claim that it's Rehit.

      Starched Turbans - Topi Or Not Topi

      By BhForce · Posted

      You don't need to wear either a pag or dumalla in the gym. You can simply wear a meter or 1.5m small turban (gol pagg or round turban). It doesn't come off.
