Sikh Channel will find it difficult taking a stance on this issue. Bal will not want to lose the support of a rich Bhatra community...

You might wanna do a quick tour of the subsidised council flat areas of Southampton and Portsmouth, followed by a walking tour of the three most deprived / poorest areas of Manchester, Bristol and Cardiff. Then come back here and make statements about how 'rich' they are.

Published reports and studies by Hampshire County Council reveal that the bhatra Sikh community is even more deprived than the Pakistani community. They are not rich by any stretch of the imagination but I do agree that Mr Bal and his Sikh Channel are frightened of doing or saying anything to upset them because I do remember well how, when Sikh Channel first started and names of viewers who donated were constantly on the screen a very high percentage of Sikh Channel viewers and contributers were and are bhatra. So I do agree with you in the sense that Mr Bal doesn't wanna bite the hand that feeds him.

Due to so many Sikh groups and jathebandias out there each one wants to hijack the sikh channel for their purpose.

Sikh Channel faces a challenge to keep control and will never be able to satisfy all tastes , people here have to realize that is a fact- it's impossible and will remain so.

We have something a very first Sikh Channel which has progressed steeply since launch, we should be supporting in a proactive manner not a reactive manner. 99% we are a reactive community and never look for the third proactive , agree to disagree , and move on to a intelligent response.

If the Sikh channel finishes up tomorrow and packs it's bags it would prove we are pendoos who haven't learnt anything from anyone including the country we live in and thrive.

All sikhs have a moral responsibility to uphold sikh principles. U can be a channel or a jathebhandi, there no difference because u all claim to be the voice of sikhi. Akal takht are surpressed by the india system, they are unable to be a voice for sikhs under the current climate. In todays age the media has more influence than anything else and when sc came about we hoped they would have the balls to be a voice.

After months of cringe worthy appeals for dds, we thought that sc might make a difference even if it is run by business man davinder bal, who does not have the greatest reputation and even has a stake in one of the Adult Channels and BritAsia...as non sikh as it gets.

How can a channel run by someone with no sikh principles promote sikhi. Its like Ramgharia coventry running an alcoholic rehab centre.

Charan Singh, Mr Bal didn't have any stake in Adult Channel, please get facts right before posting. Also some presidents of Gurdwara are owners of party halls, pubs and other business, that doest mean that the owner of Sikh Channel cant have any interest in other businesses?

As we have said from day one, our doors are open to all Sikhs, and Sikh Channel is an independent media platform for the Sikh Faith and will stay like this.

Sikh Channel, will Panth Paneeri programme still happen at Guru Tegh Bahadur Gurdwara in Southampton? Its time to actually prove whether Sikh Channel is actually independant and is able to stand up for actual panthic issues in the UK. Guru Tegh Bahadur Gurdwara Southampton is working against Sikh Maryada and has been abusing Guru Granth Sahib Ji with its meat langar! How can a programme about promoting Sikhi be broadcasted from a Gurdwara that promotes blatant Manmat! Based on your answer to this many will actually make a decision whether or not to continue to support Sikh Channel and whether Sikh Channel is actually independant and able to reflect Sikh Maryada.

Your positive actions will automatically win you support from the Sikh Sangat....I dont think you can keep silent on this matter.

Does Mr Bal have interest in porn channels? You seem to have contradicted yourself in your post? Please be clear......

so those "presidents" being sleazy, SC's stance is if one cant beat em join em? great motto to do parchaar with.

the doors are open but the minds are closed.

Sikh Channel relies on DDs from Sangat, doing appeals, getting those you've just referred to ("presidents" and "committees") to promote and fund, excessive reliance despite funding on old sewadars whose views dont match those of viewers, getting involvement of "jathebadhis" to the extent that they can make 1 threat and SC will withdraw programming or adverts relating to events that they dont agree with so in what way is it an "independent media platform"?

do you mean independent as in SC is not accountable to anyone?

far from independence its a publicity tool for the most corrupt elements in our community..

Just like a khanda can be used to stir the amrit, it can also chop peoples heads off. Something might seem like it's revolutionary but in essence it could actually be counter productive. SC is Davinder Bal, it's not the sangats channel. Its governed by the mat of mr bal which could prove dangerous for the panth.

What makes me uncomfortable is that this national committee that sc are creating along with the likes of dhesi, joga, sanghera and other self nominated waste of space leaders. They dont even want to sort out the beadbi in gurdwaras and they want to be a sikh voice. Im not backing people like this, and they cant claim to represent sikhs.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
