What you said is all pretty much ok, except for calling random girls as prostitutes. You should know that they could be from poor families trying to make a living. Maybe they hate it themselves but do it only to have food on their table.

so according to this prostitution is ok if you are poor?

i doubt it..............maybe you should do research on mehtab singh and see what he fought against.

plus i wasn't calling random girls prosititutes......................being a prostitute is one thing, but looking like one is another.

First of all, they are not working as prostitutes. I never said I agree with what they are doing, its just that calling someone a prostitute when they are not one is what I spoke against. And yes I am aware of what Shaheed Sardar Mehtab Singh Mirankot fought against. You said they look like prostitutes, well, I wouldn't know because I never saw or met one.

i don't understand...

i live in a area where i'm the only singh for miles (literally last time i seen a singh was 2 months ago)..if hadn't been for this movie...i still walk the streets with ppl eyeballing me as a terrorist...now i walk down the streets as if i'm a superstar...people shaking my hand going Singh is King...

live a little guys...in the end its a movie in the era of kaljug...bani parro...maharaj tho kushya leo..

this movie has probably done more good than bad....whats wrong with it?....do you see sikhs walking your toronto, vanocuver, uk streets....you see buncha wannabe sikhs...cut hair..act as if they are sikhs....so what ..this movie just puts everything in perspective i guess of what sikhs of today look and act like....

have any of you gone out and blantly started yelling at someone who claimed to be a sikh (be it because they had cut hair or for whatever reason)...then why yell at a movie that will not be stopped since their isn't sufficient evidence that this movie defames the faith

its a movie....movies are based upon fiction or non-fiction at times real events are construed in order to make profit.

I don't understand why everyone well the select few sikhs are getting adjetated about this. Have they done beadbi as to do harm to guru sahib?...have their hurt the panth...if so....answer this....has not the leaders of the panth already doing enough to dismantle the panth itself? if the panth was so insecure about what others think...then why doesn't the sikh nation make a mainstream film? ....

don't put blame to a movie on our own shortcomings...

why was this movie made?....had the sikhs actaully looked and practiced the teachings of guru sahib....this movie would have been different of course....but the majoirty of so called sikhs don't even look like sikhs....10% of the 'sikh' population are amrtidhari....

what do you expect?

enjoy...we can only expect to live for about 100 years...god willing....enjoy it...people are not that dumb to base this movie entirely on the sikh religion.

just some food for thought...

waheguru da nam japo !!...

pray for me as i pray for you my friends

may i remind everyone that this movie is not religious reconstruction, its merely a comedy!!

ohhh its merely a comedy making fun of Sikhi and Singhs??????? ohhhhh thats it then????????? :rolleyes:

people are not that dumb to base this movie entirely on the sikh religion.

Why even add it in there???????? an agenda????????????????

Make a hindu movie that is a comedy about hindu or bollycrrap, Sikhi has zero to do with their laughable comedies.

OK so on one side you have an arguably insensitive portrayal of Sikhs in a bollywoood movie – nothing new. On the other hand we have Sikhs outraged with their swords unsheathed, ripping up posters of the film – all this just to find themselves locked up in a local police station, suffering from a concussion or two, but with no disruption to the film being shown as scheduled.

Now at surface value one would presume the cause of all this undue mess is the movie itself. But with careful thought it is not difficult to realise that the real cause of Sikhs being miss represented are the Sikhs themselves. If we’re going to behave like clowns and have pictures depicting our foolishness plastered all across newspapers then we really cant blame bollywood for portraying us they way they do. Those shown protesting really have no leg to stand on. Retaliation will only intensify the situation in future. The real solution is a long-term strategy to introduce more and more real representative Sikhs in all aspects of international media – this includes news, soaps, documentaries, journalism, bollywood/hollywood (of course!) and etc. And let’s not forget sports and politics! Anything that’s gets real Sikhs noticed in the public eye is good. I know its an uphill struggle for Sikhs to acquire such positions but that is why it will take time and you can already see the growing number of sikh faces you find in media today e.g. hardeep singh kohli, monty panesar and etc. The least we can do is encourage this trend rather than applying brakes to what seems to be the solution to our own predicament for the time being.

I hope one day people can recognise the real ‘pindus’ they have becomes from all this. In a way I think we’re getting just what we’re asking for.

      Gurbani Santhiya

      By Dsinghd · Posted

      I was searching igurbani.com which gives correct pronunciation of Gurbani. I can’t remember all of it at once. I guess it relies on more practice, like more Sehaj Paths. The meaning becomes clearer. I have noticed slight variants in it. This could be because it’s written in old Punjabi.

      Veer Manpreet Singh claims we shouldn't worship Guru Granth Sahib ji

      By BhForce · Posted

      Veer Manpreet Singh, a lay preacher, claims that -Sikhs aren't supposed to worship Guru Granth Sahib ji. -We are only supposed to worship God as is written in Guru Granth Sahib ji. -We only "revere" Guru Granth Sahib ji.     He says a lot of other things in this video, some are good refutations of Hindu superstitions, but the reformers often go too far. Anyways, what he is saying about not worshipping Guru Granth Sahib ji is totally wrong. The reason is Guru Granth Sahib ji is Guru. Guru is Satguru. Satguru is God. We worship God. Therefore, we also worship Satguru (Guru Granth Sahib ji).   There are innumerable verses in Gurbani equating God and Guru. ਗੁਰੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਗੁਰੁ ਡੁਬਦਾ ਲਏ ਤਰਾਇ ॥੨॥ The Guru is the Supreme Lord and the Transcendent Master. The Guru floats (saves) the drowning one. p49   ਗੁਰੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਏਕੋ ਜਾਣੁ ॥ Know the Guru and God as One. p864   ਗੁਰ ਨਾਲਿ ਤੁਲਿ ਨ ਲਗਈ ਖੋਜਿ ਡਿਠਾ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੰਡੁ ॥ There is no one at par with the Guru. I have searched and seen the whole universe. p49 (If the Guru is the greatest in the whole universe, shouldn't we worship the Guru?)   I'd like to ask Manpreet Singh what is worship? Any reasonable definition would include obeisance, remembrance, and praise. Those are exactly the same things Gurbani says to do regarding Guru! Remembrance and obeisance: ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਅਪਨਾ ਸਦ ਸਦਾ ਸਮ੍ਹਾਰੇ ॥ Ever, ever, I think of the True Guru, ਗੁਰ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ਕੇਸ ਸੰਗਿ ਝਾਰੇ ॥੧॥ and the Guru's feet I brush with my head's hair. p387   Praise: ਗੁਰੁ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਆਪਿ ॥ The Guru himself is the transcendent Lord and the supreme master. ਆਠ ਪਹਰ ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰ ਜਾਪਿ ॥੪॥੧੬॥੬੭॥ Throughout the eight watches of the day, O Nanak meditate thou on the Guru. p387   In fact, Gurbani says the way to find God is to worship (puja) of Guru: ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ਧੋਇ ਧੋਇ ਪੂਜਹੁ ਇਨ ਬਿਧਿ ਮੇਰਾ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਲਹੁ ਰੇ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ Washing and bathing the True Guru's feet, worship thou them. In this way thou shall obtain my Lord Master. Pause. p1118   Could it be any clearer that we are to worship Guru ji?

      Bro, reciting a shorter Chaupai Sahib is hardly "anti-Dasam". It's fine to argue that the longer Chaupai is more traditional, but the short one isn't anti-Dasam. That's like claiming shorter Rehras is anti-Guru Granth Sahib ji just because there are fewer selections from Guru Granth Sahib. It might not be traditional, but it's not anti-Guru Granth Sahib. I prefer the longer versions, but let's not exaggerate. Every tradition has a slightly different Rehras version. Nanaksar vs Taksal vs Nihangs and so on. The basic template for Rehras is at the beginning of Guru Granth Sahib ji. Later, Chaupai Sahib was added and Anand Sahib always follows as the end of a process. Then some sangats added more saloks to start Rehras and others were added at the end. Some additional selections from Dasam Bani were also added, but it wasn't the same ones for every sangat. The important thing is to not hate on each other for these variations.

      Umm, so you're upset that this jatha did Chaupai the same way it's being done at Harimandar Sahib for 100 years? Shouldn't you be upset at the manager of Darbar Sahib? I'm not saying that Sikhs who are aware of certain issues shouldn't do the longer Chaupai, but there are only so many battles you can fight. Instead of calling some jatha traitors because they're doing the (for better or worse) "standard" Chauapai published by the SGPC, it would be better to change things from the central point. You can't fault the average Sikh for picking up the average Gutka and doing paath.

      It's the same here in Toronto. Alot of the gudwaras here are political orientated and get tons of funding from the government-probably want them stay hush hush with all the BS that has been happening with India.  These guys are skewing gurbani. A complaint was sent to a ragi singh a couple of days ago in regards to a hukamnama.
