Harbajjan's Antics

[Dukh Nivaran]

Harbajjan Singh insults Hinduism, read this:

Chandigarh: He has let his hair down on a ramp and featured in a liquor advertisement - both prohibited by his religion - had on-and-off field spats with Australians Andrew Symonds and Mathew Hayden, slapped fellow cricketer S. Sreesanth in full public view and now done a 'Ravana' act that has got Hindu and Sikh organisations gunning for him.

As off-spinner Harbhajan Singh - 'Bhajji' to friends and in cricket circles - took to the field in the first Test match against Australia, what must have been weighing on his mind was the latest storm he has created with his 'Ravana-Sita' dance number with TV actress Mona Singh on TV reality show "Ek Khiladi, Ek Hasina".

The Sikh clergy is already aghast with Harbhajan because he posed as a Hindu mythological character and even applied Hindu symbols on his forehead.

The Jathedar (chief) of the Akal Takht - the highest temporal authority of Sikh religion - Gurbhachan Singh has taken exception to Harbhajan's latest act and wants him to apologise to Hindus for allegedly hurting their sentiments and also to the Sikhs for this.

"If I receive a complaint in this regard, we will take action as per religious traditions. This is not acceptable. He has to apologise for hurting Hindu and Sikh sentiments," the Akal Takht chief said in Amritsar.

Both Harbhajan and his companion in the 'Ravana-Sita' dance, "Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin" TV star Mona Singh, are Sikhs. In Hindu mythology, Ram's wife Sita was abducted by demon king Ravana.

Right-wing Hindu organisations have objected to the dance number that "mocked" Hindu sentiments, they say. "This act is shameful. How can Sita be shown dancing with an evil like Ravana? This is carrying things a little too far. Both celebrities should come on TV with a garland of shoes around their necks to apologise for this," Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader Vijay Bhardwaj said here.

Harbhajan never lets you down in terms of controversy :lol:

You should have seen the dance number he performed. Ravana expressing his love for Sita mata. hahaha i knew there would be controversy the minute i saw it.

[Harvinder singh Babbar]

he has no need to apologise hindus have insulted sikhs many many times in their bollywood crapy films and wot not. big deal. sardars r made to look like complete clowns by hindus in their movies im happy he did this good on him.

I am glad the Akal Takht has come forward and condemned this. How would you guys feel if Hindus turn around and mock Sikhi? Its shameful some people actually appreciate it.

they mock it indirectly all the time.

[njjassa]

kinda stupid though... and also ironic coz of the fact that ppl like him cant be compared to guys like monty singh .... question of sikh identity or jus a role confusion..... ? :6

[Mehtab Singh]

they mock it indirectly all the time.

Then what difference does it leave between those who mock Sikhi and those who mock Hinduism? They both are disillusioned. Anyone who insults any religion, and anyone who supports it is equally at fault and worth condemnation.
