Taken From http://khalsapride.com/SikhSpottings/movies.htm

In the movie "Little Nicky", when Adam Sandler appears on earth for the 2nd time, he is crossing the road with a dog and a sardar in a black pugh is walking by, and a few minutes later a sardar in a red pugh goes by

In the movie "Loser" the main character is hitting on a girl in the cafeteria of a college. A sardar is sitting behind them studying.

In the movie 'A little Princess' , a movie made after the novel...a Sikh sardar man is a main character, almost a hero who gives her father the support to get rid of his amnesia and takes care of an old man and helps him move on after his father's death.

In the movie 'The English Patient' there is a Sikh from the British army that helps the two 'lovers'

In Tim Allen's movie,"Jungle 2 Jungle" an American Sikh wearing a white turban appears in a scene in central park, dancing with a group of people.

In the movie "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" there were several Sikh men spotted. Although the Sikh men were playing bad guys, they still did a good job acting.

In the movie Rush Hour, there is a brief glimpse of a Sikh taxi driver.

In the movie NEXT FRIDAY, there is a sikh sardar sitting on a bench next to his corvette.

In the James Bond movie Octupussy, which takes place in India, there are a bunch of sardars in the streets and there were some fighting on the side of the villian against Bond. It was too bad that there were sardars on the wrong side =(, but it

was nice to also see 'good' sardars on the streets! They did have good fighting scenes though

other english films although made by asians: bend it like beckham, east is east and bhaji on the beach

also a film called my mother india, it won a few awards, talks about 1984 riots

the movie , TERMINAL with tom hanks, in theaters right now, has like 10 sardars in it

one is a very good picture which is a direct shot of a sardarji in a nice suit, good pug, and full dhari getting his plane ticket, then tom hanks walks up from behind him

there are so many other shots of Sikh men with full dharis in other background shots, it seems a bit purposely done (which if it is, i am greatful to spielberg)

the good thing is that the entire movie takes place in an airport, with sikhs frequently seen--> leads to decreased fear/ignorance

also, its crazy funny, so go watch it

    • 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.
