Bhai Roop Singh is carrying such a positive portrayal of a Khalsa roop from the North of Britain to the South. Look at all the potential awareness he will raise for the Sikh roop.

It's an embarrassment that the Sikh community has only managed to donate £1,000 to this charity event so far with a target of £3,000 which is a drop in the ocean for the Sikh population. Show's how self-centered and insular the vast majority of todays GurSikhs are.

I see what you're saying, but who knows just how much some gursikhs are donating to charities? Just because they aren't donating to charities through Roop Singh's event doesn't mean they aren't at all donating to charities directly themselves... I'm not donating because I don't particularly like Sikhnet.com because of some of the funny veechaar on there, but it doesn't mean I don't donate to charities myself, but it doesn't mean I do either lol so you see... we just don't know

wjkkwjkp!

Hau Apraadhi Jee.. you have a very valid point in that we cannot say who donates and who doesnt, however, with regards to the fundraising event that Roop Singh has chosen to undertake, this event is not only one of a kind but is also for 3 completely different charities. Parkinsons disease is an illness that effects the nervous system and at present is incurable, £1000 would not only help with research into the illness but could potentially help to obtain a cure for a disease that affects alot of Sikhs around the world. Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital has been established for many years and has been the biggest children's hospital in the UK for decades. The work and commitment they have to ensuring the young children have a stable and healthy childhood is incomparable. And as for SikhNet.com - yes their veechars are often quite detached, however, they have promoted Sikhi to the wider communities for some years and have done something that I've not seen many websites do, which is cater especially for non-Sikhs.

So whether you agree or disagree with SikhNet, there are 2 other charities that will be benefitting from this event and from your donations. So please do not look with blinkered vision, but see the bigger picture and help to raise awareness for Parkinsons Disease, Great Ormond Street and SikhNet.

Roop Singh will be reaching his hometown of LEEDS today... :D
