Sas On Sangat Tv Yesterday

[MentalSingh]

Did anyone watch the discussion on Sangat TV at 9pm yesterday, just want to congratulate Sangat TV for dicussing such an important topic live on air and bringing awareness to the sangat about the dangers that our kids are facing when they go out. So many people would not have known about these problems and educating the sangat is critical and using this media format is ideal. It makes a good change from the Gurdwara Politics that are regularly dicsussed on the other channel and it directly addresses and relates to the youth. Well done to Sangat TV, keep it up. Well done to SAS aswell, keep up the good work you are doing.

Completely agree. It was an excellent show. Well done Sangat TV!

Sometimes, our elders/Sikh media are scared to discuss these issues as they know they are controversial and will offend people. Sorry, but burying our head in the sand only makes the issues worse. These are real issues which our Panth is facing TODAY. There's no point crying when things go wrong. Better to address these issues first. This can only happen through awareness.

Jeez, you still selling that EDL crap......

I missed the show, can I see it online anywhere? Did they resolve their technical difficulties since last week?

I just checked their website and I admire them for taking the initiative to spread awareness about Sikhi.

However, scroll down on the first page of their website and there's a link to an article about the imam who abused a child. Whilst this cannot be disputed, the inclusion of such an article on their website seems....childish to me - almost like point-scoring. Lest we forget, a "granthi" was jailed for abusing a little Sikh girl who came to learn kirtan from him. So before we're made to look like hypocrites, maybe we shouldn't gloat about the unfortunate characters that can be found lurking in ALL faiths?

Unfortunate is the time and culture we live in where people don't think about themselves before pointing fingers at others.

Any Sikh trying to use what goes on from elements in the Pakistani community towards vulnerable and dumb girls to make themselves feel better about themselves is a straight bewakoof. Simple.

Truth is that we too need to keep an eye out amongst ourselves and be careful too. It doesn't take long for ANY community to go downwards once rot/corruption sets in. Yes, keep an eye out and combat what happens from outside, but we must never forget that we need to continually keep standards high in our own community at the same time.

Kaam and lower behaviour seems almost intrinsic in humans and we do have our own perverts too. We need to deal with what we are facing without any gloating. Do things with dignity.

It's a delicate issue. Whilst I appreciate their attempt to educate clueless Sikhs about some of the shenanigans in other faiths, the point I highlighted (about the dodgy granthi) could easily have been made by a Muslim person who didn't sugar-coat his reply in the way I did. I guarantee that would have hurt our sentiments a lot more.

Anyway I've deviated from the original post. Apologies and once again I'd like to say that the SAS site's efforts are extremely commendable and a positive step. Just a bit of awareness here and there wouldn't go amiss.
