Here is another video, sorry did not catch the beginning of Bhai Inderjit Singh's Speech, but got most of it..very powerful...

I listened to Bhai Sahib's speech on you tube (could not hear it all at the rally). First of all can l say that his speech was delivered in an excellent manner and l agree woth a lot of the content.

However, please take the following as positive critisicm:

If we are saying that it is the youth only, that are parying to Guru Gobind Singh, by doing Chaupi Sahib paths, for the chardi kala of the panth, why know, where have they been for the last 25 years (agree some were not born), l know a lot of Sikhs who have been doing Chaupi Sahib path, at least 5 to 25 everyday for the panth, they do not 'boast about it'.

Chaupi Sahib path and all other prayers are to guide us and assit us in the decisions we make everyday, that is the Guru's tecahing. It is not about doing nothing, just path and then expect a miracle to happen, that is Brahminism. To get justice, we have to be engaged with International politics and campaigns, and be guided by our prayers, not just sit around and say the paths will do everything.

The purpose of the Chaupi Sahib Paths, should be around raising awarness of the Injustice faced by the Sikhs and at the same time, getting youth closer to doing bani and understanding it, not about waiting for 'Guru Sahib' to get us justice, HE WILL DO THROUGH THE ACTIONS OF HIS KHALSA, WHO WILL BE GUIDED BY PRAYERS.

It is not right to say that nothing has been achieved in the last 25 years and that the youth will know rely on the path and then Guru Gobind Singh then getting justice for us, is that to say that those Sikhs that have been campaigning for the last 25 years, were not true Sikhs.

Just my thoughts.

I have a suggestion, although maybe a little late for this year...

Send 1 official sevadar to every single gurdwara where coaches will be leaving from. Get them to take some forms or a laptop with them and get the names, emails, telephone numbers of every person on the coach and put it all in a database. That way, you can keep people who dont visit these forums, websites etc updated with all the information and build on a database with thousands of members. This rally isnt one day in a calendar for people to show their support... it should be ongoing and people who support the rally etc on the day should be kept up to date all year round and i think a lot of people who came on Sunday dont visit this forum, dont visit the sikh sites etc. Dont let the Gurdwara organise someone to collect e-mail addresses because the fact of the matter is, no matter how much they say they will, THEY WONT. It wont get done because to them it would be something "extra" rather than a "necessity".

Just a suggestion to maybe implement for next year. Bhul chuk maaph.
