Brit Asia Vs Islamic Channels

[KALLY]

This is a good point - you ever watched brit aisa on sky - all you see is sikh girls dancing half naked with drinks the go a few channels up you get the musla preaching their hatred with their women all coverd up reading the book of evil ...... just a point i wanted to make .........:geek:

Not really a valid comparison considering brit asia is a music channel and islamic channels are religious channels. It's not just Sikhs on brit asia and the like but all others inlcunding muslims. How about comparing the Sikh Channels to the Islamic Channels- What you see then is liberated, equal and empowered females as opposed to oppressed women banned from self expression.

Its a valid point how many religous channels have islamist fund got on tv - im sure you would agree that mots of our channels are not very religous - i think maybe 1 or 2 but mainly juts young kuree's dancing with a group of young lads with alchohol....

Im born and educated in London and now spend alot of my work time in India.

One thing is apparent.

When I grew up, I always thought I was a Sikh foremost and when I met another Sikh was generally warm towards to them -which Im sure is quite common in how we were bought up in England.

Now, when I goto India (Delhi, Bangalore, etc) the Sikhs just ignore you. I have many Indian friends from India and they have always consistently said how brave the Sikhs have been through Indian history, farmers, love the bhangra, drinking whiskey, etc -just general sterotype/ friendly banter.

In India, Sikhs are Punjabis foremost, who see themselves as Indian per sae -not Sikhs !

Its like when you see a white guy in London, he is white first then Christain, Jewish, Atheist, etc.

Sameway, Brit Asia is a Punjabi music channel first. It does nothing for Sikhi therefore why call it a 'Sikh channel' and compare it to the Islamic channels ?

The difference with muslims is there is no difference between being a muslim or pak/ arab -its always muslim first. They are the only ones who are like that.

Watch Brit Asia for a bit of Punjabi chav bhangra, yes the girls may come from Punjabi backgrounds but they are doing nothing promoting Sikhi by the way they are.

Dont muddle the two -ok !

Bit retarded to compare an asian music channel with a religious one? On Brit Asia, a lot of the videos are shot in mumbai, most of the dancers and actors are not even punjabi never mind sikh, also, videos in the UK have taken a more desi route, alcohol is still promoted but you dont see ''half naked girls''.

This is wind up territory.
