1984 Discussion On Nihal Show Today

[Singh559]

One hour didn't do justice but i will give props to Nihal for doing proper mediating. I guess it was just the luck of the draw that we got some hot headed individuals like the hindu brother (Bhardwaj) I think it was his name and another hot head pav spitting hate and propaganda.

This is a step in the right direction and just goes to show how much work Sikhs have ahead of them. We need to hone our writing skills and become journalists (something we can do whilst pursuing other careers). A lot of hindus are in media outlets in the west and abuse their positions to spread Indian propaganda in the west against Sikhs.

yes but many sikh people have views against 1984. we saw that on the program (pav) and many others have views like this. we need to educate ourselves. many sikh people believe in the indian propoganda and don't study their own history/faith.

that pav woman was very annoying. extremely biased views saying sant ji looked scary, she is going against sikhi if she thinks weapons are scary. has she seen the guru's shastar. if she thinks sant bhindrnwale was a terrorist then she must think the guru's were too as they carried weapons and faught against the injustice of the government. tried to phone in but didn't get through.

LOOOOL init, the janani (pav) needs a slap, big time, i couldnt believe she had the chance 2 meet sant bhindrawale and she crapped herself coz of the shastars on view, HAHAH!! LOL, She basically says that bhindrawale is a disgrace for bringing weapons into the GT, LOL, that Baba Deep Singh geezer is also a behsharam i tell u, he had a massive Khanda in his hand, defending darbar sahib, oh n he had his head in his hand, whereas this pav women had her head up her.......

whereas this pav women had her head up her.......

lololololololololol true. ignorant person she was. knows nothing about the signifcance of shastars in sikhi. she should do some real unbiased research on 1984. didnt talk about 1984 at all, and it was supposed to be "young sikhs" not 40year old people.

Dodgy coconuts annoy me. It is possible to be a decent coconut and have an affinity for and (a bit of) knowledge of Sikhi - like me. :biggrin2:

But the other kind do my head in. They just regurgitate whatever trash their ignorant parents or grandparents have filled their minds with since a young age. God forbid they've ever been near a Sikh history book.

did any hear the tamil-sri lankan deabate this week, about time there was a debate close to Neehals heart, instead of putting everyone else under the spot light.

pav is such an <banned word filter activated>. She speaks as if she is some sort of authority on what happened. All she saw was a mere glimpse of Sant Jee and from that she bases her opinion. People like pav and bharadwaj think that everything just started off with Sant Bhindranwalay. They don`t see the discrimination Sikhs faced after 47 such as Punjabi language not getting official recognition, Punjab being unfairly divided and Punjabi speaking land being given to Himachal and Haryana. Chandigarh which was clearly Punjab not belonging to Punjab. The river waters being stolen from Punjab and given to Haryana and Rajasthan. Then how Sikhs from Punjab were not even allowed to enter Delhi through Haryana during the Asian games. Any Sikh that attempted was arrested in Haryana. How the government supported and helped the Nirankaris in 78 instead of doing the right thing and arresting them.

What Sant Jee did was to awake the Sikh nation and tell them not to take it anymore and for that he is our hero and centuries to come. People like pav come and go with no one even noticing, but Sant Jee`s memory will always remain cherished amongst the Sikh nation.
