Last Days Of The Raj - Channel 4 Documentary


Recommended Posts

I recorded most of it on DVD. let me know if you want it.

With regards to most of the previous comments, whilst I agree to some extent (in that we got the hard end of the stick), we have to remember we are the minority in India, always have been and always will be. It doesnt mean we have no rights, but it's something we should bear in mind....

We were certainly betrayed, but neither did we have a strong enough voice to really make a difference against the overwhelming Muslim and Hindu presence that has always been in India....

The best thing that happend to India was when the Brits were there....at least we lived in 'peace' with everyone.

The period between then and the late 1990s was pretty bad, but with Guru's kirpa, even if we never get Khalistan...there will be NO MORE bloodshed between Sikhs and Muslim and Hindus.....so much loss of life and it's served no purpose!!!

When i watched the first half i thought it was biased

still at the end it was but showed a lot of reality and also convicted many hinduz and muslims for the attacks aswell so you have to look at it open mindedly

yes they missed out alot of that stuff with what happen to Sikhs but the program still held alot of reality

was unfair how there was only one Sikh speaker and mainly Muslims

hmmm true only one guest... Master Tara Singhs daughter? grand daughter? she could hardly string a sentenace together in english. Where did the program makers get their researchers and guests from?

... talk about anti-sikh bias or what, never seen so much rubbish by any british tv program on sikhs before.

So... was it Master Tara's fault thatwe did'nt get independence or was it another one????

Yes master tara singh has majority of blame of why Sikhs were robbed of sovereignty. His "pakistan murdabad" statement before partition in 1946... nearly lead to him nearly getting killed when a muslim mob turned on him. Most of his relatives were murdered by muslims so he had personal grievences against them. I would personally want to know how he got to be leader of Sikhs. All other major political players of the time were all educated in prestigous english establishments, so they knew how to play the game.

    • 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!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
