Hello sikh channel. I was wondering why you didnt bother airing the 1984 rally promo video?

You were emailed with the link and full video but you didnt bother airing the video on the sikh channel, nor did you bother replying to the email...

I wanted to know why that was??

P.S. I know you did air another 1984 rally video sent to you by Sikh Federation because I saw it, but im reffering to the other one which was sent to.

The link to the video which was sent to u is shown below:

you did not air this nor bother replying to the emails sent...

I was not happy at this, because airing this particular video would of had a greater impact on viewers and is more thorough. yet no reply was given..

Sikhsangat isn't the official forum(is it?) to raise issues with Sikh Channel, yes they use it but it is not official way. Send them a PM, why start threads or joining in threads? Come on Sangat Ji let's be professional about it all

This is the perfect place to raise these issues, infront of everyone. If their "not replying" was for a genuine reason then let all here see their reason. Afterall, truth is the highest virtue.

Besides whats it to you?

The question was posed to the sikh channel representative.

Also I'd like to add that I'm pleased that the sikh fed video was aired.

Im not saying the other 1 should of been aired as opposed to this 1.

Im saying both should have been aired.

I'm more annoyed with the fact that no reply was given..

This is not an attack, its a question which I am seeking an answer to.

A promo has been playing constantly on the channel for 1984 rally which is tomorrow - it shouldnt matter which version is used - what is important is that the message is delivered which it has been. Any more issues, please contact us via our website www.sikhchannel.tv

Thank you.

I wasnt arguing over "which" video should be shown.

I was asking why that particular video was not shown? And no reply was given as to stating the reason why?

Im asking in a polite mannor :)

I would ask questions direct at www..sikhchannel..tv but my last message to them there didnt get a reply...so i'll do it here.

If u wish for us not to email the sikh channel in future then let me know and we will not do so. Better that than not bother replying..

I understand the video that had the Sikh Federation (UK) logo added that has been showing in relation to the Remembrance March and Freedom Rally on Sunday 7 June on the Sikh Channel was financially sponsored.

We must all appreciate that if the Sikh Channel is to be free for viewers then most if not all 'ads' will need to be paid for. I think the Sikh Channel did however recognise this was a special event and may have provided the ad at a reduced rate and/or allowed extra showings.

I suspect the issue of 'charging' is a difficult one for the Sikh Channel, but we should be less critical and more supportive.

    • lol dal panth Panj told me explicitly not to associate with Vadhbhag Singh Sodhi followers!
    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.  
    • Author Posted April 24   On 4/21/2025 at 2:43 PM, ipledgeblue said: sirr should not be nanga because keski is usually worn.   Sikhs can sleep nanga-sirr if they choose to . Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
