Why Have Bssf When We Have Boss

[Into the Light]

it was mentioned on another forum a new organisation BSSF was being setup.

why create BRITISH SIKH STUDENT FEDERATION (BSSF) when British Organisation of Sikh Students (BOSS) is in existence?

its abit ironic how the author talks about 'divisions in sikhi' (see http://www.bssf.blogspot.com/) yet they are all for setting up another student group

LOL, rather funny. Split the already split up sangat, a counter group to boss. ok. Dont see the point. - Self pamp maybe - Maybe not

From what i know of them these are some of the areas they wll be looking into.

1. University issues

2. Networking

- Get Sikh youth to network with Sikhs from around the country that they may have not met otherwise.

3. Work with other Organisations

- Sikh youth Organisations

- Panthic Organisations

- Non-Sikh Organisations

4. Sikhi workshops

- Start sikhi workshops in Gurdwara’s that don’t have any.

- Encourage young children to attend.

5. Parchar Network

- Contact Well-known Parcharik’s to attend our events.

6. Inter-Faith

- Dialogue with Inter-faith organisation about youth issues especially Sikh youth.

- Attend Inter-faith programmes.

7. National/International Events

8. Awareness of Kakkar’s in educational institutes

- Hold programmes for Educational Institutes that are unaware or show ignorance towards Sikhs.

- Support other organisations working with institutes.

9. Samagam’s

10. Help Overseas Sikh Students

- Help Sikhs from other countries that have come to study in Britain.

These are issues that need to be addressed. i personally dont see any thing wrong with a group a sikhs that are going to try and tackle some of the issues mentioned above. Personally i think more people need to make the attempt to do so.

Makes no sense to me. Why cant they just combine and :united

Or at least work under one group, but have focus groups off it.

egos and own agendas

on every side. its always the same. instead of doing whats best for the panth by following gurmat we do whats best for ourselves.

Personally i say give them a chance. they havent even done nothing yet and already were so quick to criticise.

BOSS is dead anyway lol. they do a camp once a year then you never hear of them again. or if some program is being organised by someone then boss just have there logo put on for the pomp

Waheguru ji ki fateh

the time is to unite the people and make the existing organizations stronger and stronger. But its just spliting up the people. If one organization is dead or inactive. New people can just take over it or the core members can be changed or altered on regular basis but it should be done under the same banner and same name. making another organization is not a good idea at all.

TIME IS TO UNITE AND STAND TOGETHER. TRY TO MERGE THE EXISTING ORGANIZATIONS AND BE ONE BUT BECOME THE STRONGEST, STRONGEST AS A SIKH COMMUNITY.

Maybe your right!

Or maybe different singhs from different seva groups engage in different seva throughout the year without anyone knowing who they are or what they do, or even who arranged the seva!! i.e with no 'pomp. And maybe most of us absolutely love these events, or things produced by these singhs .. and yet without knowing we indirectly abuse them and cuss them as well!

Sometimes its better to do things without a logo/name attached.

Anyway an example of unity is the chaupai sahib's being done, can all the people who have commented on unity etc in this thread also comment/contribute to the chaupai sahib thread (in the important topics section at the top of the page) which is actually creating unity and work to achieve the goals there. thank you! its easy talking it, but harder walking it!
