Ek Niwas - A Young Singh's Account Of Police Disrespect

What could they possibly do? If beadbhi is happening there and then I do not think there was any other option. However, I believe a Singh should use his kirpan to protect Guru Ji.

Part of me understands the actions of the young Gursikh, but I still think pointing fingers at the police is a futile exercise. One of the things we must realise, if the protesting route is chosen, is to expect a heavy handed riot police presence and expect that their actions will probably end up being inconsiderate and insensitive to the passions of the protesters. In order to combat this, build the bridges with the authorities and create a line of respectful communication to educate them on how to handle volatile situations. If there was a communicative relationship with the authorities before hand than assume it was still not strong enough and work on building a better rapport.

Whatever beadbi happened in Ek Niwas before or during that day, one of the paramount things the Singhs who led this campaign can still do is to carry out national Sri Akhand Paths around the UK and seek forgiveness for what the Police done or what Ek Niwas done or even what they done (just like the Gursikhs did in 1924 after the Jaito Morcha where 100 Sri Akhand Paths were carried around the Punjab even though the beadbi of breaking the Akhand Path at Jaito was done by the British Government). A sewa like this would create awareness at a national level within our Sikh sangata and would probably muster more internal support than protests.

The hindu coper should face the wrath of the REAL sikh community

What do we really expect from these one liner macho statements on the forum?? Does this kind of statement sum up the attitude of youth who turn to these one day protesting events!

Shows the stupidity of some people. Militant Singh by making such statements you are disgracing the Panth and showing that you are no better than PC Heer !

The faith of the copper is irrelevant. The author must initiate action against Heer and the Inspectors.

Author have you done anything to pursue this matter ? or are you happy sitting at home writing articles ?

gurfateh,

i spoke to the gursikh and he said, that a complaint has been made for the disrespect shown to guru sahib jee. he said he would like if others could also complain to the police that they have disrespected and hert the sikh community by commiting such actions

Thanks for the reply and please keep us updated.

Please ask him to make a proper formal complaint.

Plenty of information on the process at : http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/police/about/police-complaints/

Until the officers concerned make some form of apology and show resentment for their action the Sikh Council in Wolverhampton should avoid inviting anyone from the police to speak on stage during their annual beadbi mela.

    • 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!!
