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

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 :@ !!!!!

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
