NCM Protests State Dept Film Showing Sikhs As Terrorists :D

New Delhi, July 5 (UNI) The National Commission for Minorities (NCM) has objected to a US State Department video showing gun-weilding Sikhs in the Golden Temple as terrorists, saying the film may in fact compound trouble for American Sikhs, some of whom have even been attacked after 9/11 because of their distinct identity.

''A War Without Borders', recently brought out by the US State Department's Bureau of Public Affairs to educate students about terrorism, shows armed Sikhs fighting the Army at the Golden Temple at a time when the community is struggling to portray its culture and traditions in real ways, free of negative stereotypes and biasis in post 9/11 America,'' said NCM chief Tarlochan Singh.

The film, he added, was untimely and uncalled for, especially when there is peace in Punjab.

Moreover, the Army attack on the Golden Temple, the holiest of the Sikh shrines, the NCM chief said, was a result of ''the faulty policy of then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi''.

Mr Singh has requested Foreign Secretary Kapil Sibal to seek editing in the State Department video.

''Sikhs are shown with guns inside the Darbar Sahib, the sanctum sanctorum of the Golden Temple, in a scene under sub-heading 'The Siege of Golden Temple, Amritsar'. To show the Sikhs as terrorists will create permanent hostility among Americans against the community,'' Mr Tarlochan Singh told Mr Sibal in his let

ter earlier this week.

In the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks, a crazy mix of terrorists, turbans and images of Osama bin Laden caused widespread confusion in America, which resulted in physical and verbal hate attacks on Sikhs.

In one such gruesome case, Balbir Singh Sodhi, an Arizona gas station owner, was shot dead barely four days after the Osama-masterminded hijacked plane attacks on the World Trade Center.
