Sikh Channel & Dudley Protest


Recommended Posts

may I remind these silly internet rumours, that not even sangat tv or sikh tv can withhold evidence from the police (obstructing the cause of justice). Further, this is a public order offence, doesnt matter if the gurdwara committewalia want to press charges or not. The police would want all video evidence for their own intelligence.

Grow up.

I don't think you're in any position to tell the others here to "grow up" ub1. Each year the BBC refuse many requests from the police for footage. When it comes to serious things like armed robbery etc then of course the BBC readily supply footage to the police but when it comes to political demonstrations (in which violence took place) etc they are extremely reluctant to do so. In such circumstances....(as in the circumstances in Dudley / Sikh Channel).....the Sikh Channel can (amd bloody well should) tell the police to get lost. If the Sikh Channel had any sort of legal advisor working for them they would know that the only way the police can force the Sikh Channel to hand over footage is if the police get a court order. Given the hightened tension among Sikhs and the local constabulary there I very much doubt the rozzers would've added fuel to the fire by going for a court order. (although admittedly West Midlands Police are traditionally the stupidest constabulary in England and Wales)

When the rozzers asked Sikh Channel, Sikh TV and Sangat TV they went on what is called a 'fishing expedition'. Fishing for evidence. Any channel with any sort of respect for its journalistic integrity would've told them to go get a court order if they want footage........Its not the Sikh Channels duty to help the police compile 'evidence'. Shame on them for doing so.

West London Singh,

Whilst your command of the english language is superior and blessed by Guru Ji, I am not. It is evident you are not from the gallows of UB1 but perhaps W5 or even SW7 !!!

I unequivocally, absolutely, unreservedly disagree with you !

West Midlands Police is not the stupidest constabulary in England Wales -the Metropolitan Police is !

I must correct you on this point -the apnae, in the Met are the worst !

I was sent this list of incidents by a person who received bruises from the police.

In no particular order

1. Party People purposely opened the door and starting blasting bhangra

2. One of them brought a plate of meat out and starting eating in front everyone

3. Mercedes pulled up at start of protest transferring booze into hall

4. Numerous singhs dastaraa were knocked off by police

5. The police would push, hit with baton then tell you to move back

6. Singhs were given dead legs after getting hit with batons

7. Party person purposely came out and said " come on singhs take a good photo of me"

8. So called "Amritdhari" bibiaa making meat inside centre for party people.

9. Singhs beards were yanked and pulled on purpose.

There was no need for some of the above incidents, especially from the party people

There is footage of most above incidents, Which Video guys will release. I don't know when though.

That's very sad to read.

Although if certain sections of the protest wanted a ruck, the police are all too happy to oblige. In certain cases they don't need any provocation (e.g. the death of Ian Tomlinson). There's no use in complaining about dastaars and beards being pulled when in situations like these. Its par for the course.

No. TW7. Since the days when Osterley had the feel of a quiet village......And we were the only 'darkies' here.

And no again. The stupidity of West Midlands Police is legendary. In fact it was their stupidity and massive corruption (especially their infamous serious crime squad) that led to reform of the police in the UK back in the 80's. So...lets be honest here.....the average west midlands copper is pretty stupid anyway but he's gotta be extra slow to have been posted in Dudley. I wouldn't be surprised if their asking Mr Avtar Singh from the sikh channel to lead their investigation for them. He seems pretty keen.

After reading West London Singh's post about video evidence being handed over to the police, makes you think how many chamche we have in our community. Coppers tell certain people from Sikh Channel to jump and they say "How high Sahib Ji?".

This chumcha-baazi for 'sahibs' in authority thing is nothing new for our community. Makes me want to ultee!

    • lol dal panth Panj told me explicitly not to associate with Vadhbhag Singh Sodhi followers!
    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
