BBC’s ‘After Blue Star’ Begins May 23

London, England -- BBC World Service which serves millions of people around the world has been busy producing two 30-minute programs on the 20th anniversary of the 1984 attack on the Golden Temple Complex.

In true BBC tradition, it has contacted all relevant parties, including those opposed to Sikhs, to present a balanced view. The BBC Senior Producer, who attended the recent Vaisakhi celebrations in Leicester and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office last month, wrote last week to all those that contributed or are still working on the project:

"I am writing to express our heartfelt thanks to all those of you who have contributed to or are still helping us with our series ‘After Blue Star.’ The series marks the 20th anniversary of the storming of the Golden Temple and explores its impact on Sikhs, both in India and the Diaspora.

[We] have greatly valued both the interviews we have conducted so far, and the advice and background information we have been given by so many people. Some of you have very generously given a lot of their time and expertise to help us put together the best possible programmes - and we are most grateful for that, and for being made to feel so welcome by so many people.

Inevitably, when we put together a radio programme we always end up with much more material than our airtime allows us to use. Please be assured that every contribution (not just those we are able to use on air) has been enormously valuable in gaining a full understanding of our subject matter, and hence everyone who has given us an interview or advised us at any stage of the project has been crucial in making the programm

es what they will be.

My special thanks also to those who have taught me an understanding of the Sikh faith over the years, often in the context of programmes we have made in the past. Your input, too, has helped me put this latest series together.”

The programs will be broadcast on BBC World Service Radio at the following times:

India:

Sunday 23rd May, 2206 GMT

Repeats Monday 24th May 0506, 0906, 1406, 1906 GMT;

Friday 28th May 2306 GMT; Sunday 30th May 0606 GMT.

Europe:

Monday 24th May, 0806 GMT

Repeats Monday 24th May 1206, 1806; Tuesday 25th May

0006; Sunday 30th May 1806, 2306.

Part 2 will be broadcast the following week (beginning Sunday 30th May) in the same time slots. Other parts of the world have different transmission times.

The program will also be available online a week after the first transmission. Go to www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice. Under the drop-down menu ‘Radio Programmes,’ select ‘After Blue Star.’ There will be a special website to accompany the program.

Never should anything like Blue Star ever happen again the loss of sikhs the innocent killed this was no justice. Sikhs should all join together in peace.

Justice should be done but how when the westernised Sikhs forget about their history of war and loss. The Pain that lived and is still going on today they should remember their people, their culture but some have lost all that long the way.

The modern sikhs who know nothing about their cultures past all I can say is shame on you. The sikhs who fought, for our country, our people, our culture should not be forgotten but remembered and cherised for they were fighters and true SAINT SOLDIERS!

Waheguru Ji Khalsa

Waheguru Ji Ki Fatheh

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
