Does somebody know how to watch it tomorrow?

I'm not sure if this will work outside the UK, but I think it should do if you make sure you add .CO.UK at the end of the URL....

If you go to this website.... >> http://www.tvguide.co.uk/ and scroll down a little you will see the TV program listings of lots of channels, and you will see it says 'BBC1 London' first and then 'BBC2 London' and then 'ITV1 London' etc etc Now under each of these channels there is a link called 'watch', click on that and it will take you to a live stream of the channel...

lets hope it works

Well I thore bothe pange lehne paye, but now it works. I had to change my proxy. I took a open public proxy server. So now the data transfaire goes to the proxy which is in england and then comes to me. I just hope the stream of bbc will work cause they say it's just beta and it makes some problems sometimes.

Sarbat da Pala Jee, could you explain to me how you did that? Because somebody i know in canada wanted to watch it... I dont understand this proxy thing, could you explain what they'll have to do and how to get that stream working? Thanks!! :)

about tvguide - i went to check when it was on, and if you click on the show it brings up more details and public comments

http://www.tvguide.co.uk/detail.asp?id=56299573

since it's a big site it might be a good idea to post SENSIBLE and fair comments on there that people might read. no good saying we weren't the terrorists if you're post says death to all the gandhi family (no matter how true and heart felt it may be) ;)

i thought it was quite a balanced documentary and sonia gave that ********** brar quite a hard time you could see in her face she really meant what she was asking and said it really firmly and with conviction and he was kind of intimidated and giving answers that the indian government would want to give you could tell by the look on his face that what he said he didnt really mean

If somebody wants to watch it from outside Great Britain

one advice is to change the proxy server:

Change under your network settings in your browser the proxy settings IP: 62.216.241.131, and port: 80

This is one free public proxy server from uk

here are more servers... http://www.xroxy.com/proxy-country-GB.htm

If this does not work google and download a program called "hot shield"... It will make your IP look like it's in the UK plus alot simpler to use and configure... Then you will be able to view BBC iPlayer...

They gave the same old story about Sant Jee with Congress and then turning against Congress, and the Sikhs killing innocent Hindus. Was not balanced, especially going to Mark Tully, who is anti-Sikh as they come. What the documentary failed to delve into was the injustice felt by the Sikhs post-1947, and particularly after the role of the government at state and national level in the 1978 Nakli Nirankaree Saka. This was the major reason for 1984,and the pre-meditated govt attack on Darbar Sahib. However, I was encouraged by the presenter, who was more neutral than I expected her to be.

so with 1 convo with a 18 year old kid she manages to sum up that no injustices are happening to sikhs today in punjab. wat fantastic journalism. and sant ji turned against the govt because mark tully has sum stupid theory that the police burned his book of sermons, and the proof being that he mentions the govt burning our children which is supposed to be the sermons, thats the stupideist thing i ever heard in my life. how did that <banned word filter activated> come up with that? dnt these idiots think the nirankari attack with acid etc on sikh peaceful protestors were state police joined in and helped the nirankaris would have been a more plausable reason? there wernt even a mention off it. i knew it was gna be rubbish and it was. no real reference to the the sikh accusations that the govt picked that day to attack to maximise casualties, no reference to the number of civilians killed, no ref to the fact that govt officials were involved in organising pogroms. or any reference to the numbers killed. that coward sonia deol prob cut all that out so she wouldnt get in trouble with the indian authorities. i hope she never does call herself jasvinder kaur again.

    • 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?
