It could well just simply be a bundled robbery and the Indian media hyping it up on a slow news day - and the Indian government then opportunistically trying to use it to get better security for their diplomats/politicians in the UK?

But we should be prepared for some manifestation of the 'dark immigrant horde menace' in some of the more populist tabloids over here (those mothers usually never miss a chance like this).

No, lets get in first and have our say before these monkeys make us look like monkeys.

A truly welcome point.

My two cents.

The issue of Brar allegedly being assaulted does not matter at all to the host community. Nor (much) for any impartial outfit in the host media. Nor for any other impartial entity in the west.

However, the BBC is certainly excluded from this list. It has been in the laps of the Indian Government, for what seems like forever, and current evidence shows that this is not changing anytime soon, which, for a state funded media outfit that is supposed to be impartial and free from external influence, is a matter that requires investigation in its own right.

Brar counts for nothing to the the average person in the host community, and, as

- a retired general of a foreign armed services personnel renowned for its infamously systematic human rights violation of its own population,

- about whom serious concerns abound over his behaviour in leading a botched military assault on a place of worship that resulted in massive civilian casualties, and was accompanied by a miserable failure to acheive its stated objectives, leading many independent observers to conclude that the euphemistically termed military "action" was the mere cover for the pre-planned genocide that duly followed,

- who should have known better (at the very least, you would expect, at his age!) not to be nonchalantly, casually dilly-dallying around Oxford Circus well after dark,

he carries little, if any, weight with any policy/law maker outside India.

Therefore, if there is to be any serious intent on the part of GOI to interfere in any related stakeholder group, then it appears to be specifically the residents of Punjab, and to a lesser degree, the NRI community. It may have optimistically attempted to influence foreign lawmakers too, as some have observed, however, (I believe) it will fail in this regard.

Whether its plan works with regards to the former objective depends entirely on how our community plays its cards.

Desperate crass reporting below by TOI....Putting 2 and 2 together to architect a 99! The TOI article makes a ridiculous attempt to link the UK's 84 rally's, Pakistan, motorbikers and even Coventry Ramgharia Gurdwara Hall beadbi to the "Brar Tale".

Attack not meant to kill Brar, but show ‘uprising’ still alive

NEW DELHI: Even though the attackers of Operation Blue Star commander, Lt Gen K S Brar, are yet to be identified, agencies here suspect it might be linked to the radical elements in the Sikh diaspora, who have repeatedly disrupted Republic Day and Independence Day events of the Indian High Commission in the UK.

According to intelligence sources, radical Sikh groups such as Dal Khalsa UK have been organizing protests for years now outside the Indian High Commission office in London as well as at the consulate office in Birmingham. Of late, some militant Sikh youth have gone a step beyond by even disrupting these national events. Sources said the Sikh youth make forced entry at R-Day or I-Day receptions, posing as invitees from the Indian community, and mask their faces before shouting pro-Khalistan slogans, breaking glassware, and grabbing/throwing microphones.

"These radical Sikh men then escape on their motorcycles as quickly," an intelligence official said adding that though the local police are posted outside, they do little to stop or intercept them. Sources indicated that the UK law enforcement authorities prefer to take a neutral stand, assessing the Sikh protests as an internal matter of the Indians. Though the Indian authorities have been pursuing the British government to get tough with the Sikh extremist elements, the UK has been reluctant to oblige.

Incidentally, the Indian agencies fear that the success of the Sikh radicals' protests this year — they even led a huge protests against the pending execution of Balwant Singh Rajoana, assassin of former Punjab CM Beant Singh — may have emboldened them to go for the high-profile strike at Brar.

Brar, incidentally, had not followed the recommended drill of informing the local High Commission and the UK authorities of his visit to London, which would have ensured deployment of requisite security for his protection. The attackers were possibly aware of this and may have been following him for some time.

According to an intelligence officer, the UK has been found rather wanting in acting against the Sikh radicals, who now may be playing into the hands of groups like Babbar Khalsa International that are making fresh attempts at reviving Sikh militancy with help from Pakistan's ISI. The attack on Brar is seen not as much as a daring assassination attempt, but as a message to convey that the Khalistanis are still alive and kicking.

Lolololol.

You can see right through that (incredible) article to see what its objective is.

I am struggling to recall whether I have ever read more tripe than the quantity spilling out of the six short paragraphs above.

There's got to be some kind of record for the most bull concentrated into a few hundred words of a published article.

Serious, unbiased, reasonably credible reporting, that a person of mid-level intelligence might actually be tempted to believe, free of any ulterior motive (or, at the very least, it being reasonably concealed!) simply doesn't exist in India.

And to think that this ridiculously incompetently assembled concoction is run by a newspaper calling itself "The Times of India".

I'll assume that's an article it ran on its website only.

Having read a few (heavily biased, prematurely "certain", poorly written, reeking of "panic measure", in short, desparate) "articles" (originating out of new delhi).

The reporting around the alleged assault, even if it is, to be taken at face value, as a case of GBH, and not, as it seems, a set-up, even regardless of who did or didn't rough him up, means little in the grand scheme of things.

It appears to be little more than a desparate tactic (although, poorly executed) to gain political mileage (within India only, nobody in their right mind overseas would take these ludicrous articles seriously). (With the caveat of course, that it is within an overall strategy to, at the very least, contain, if not systematically suppress the voice of Punjab).

Indian "journalism" suffers from the same symptoms of blatant state interference as that in any region that is any one of underdeveloped, undemocratic, dictator-led.

The guy is a never-was who holds no power but that as a pawn of GOI (or more specifically, RAW). He is used every now and again to serve its agenda.

I wouldn't be surprised if we hear more stories like this in the impending future, as GOI increasingly begins to panic as it sees the ground disappearing from underneath its feet.

His joke interview yesterday, it was obvious he didnt have his throat slashed as he claims. It would be interesting to see the medical report to see the exact extent of his injuries.

His body language showed he was making it all up. He tries his best to say it was knife, kirpan, dagger. Just to make sure the Sikhs were blamed.

I think the real issue here is that Sikh Media and the recent successful campaigns (visa's declined for Tytler, Kamal Nath not welcome, EDM etc.) that are being executed are having an impact.

SFJ is singlehandedly embarrasing India with the great work it is doing. Likewise the lobbying and the Sikh media in creating public awareness of what is happening in Punjab is having an impact.

Our media now needs to raise their game and be smarter and review news reports before airing them. They need to have hosts and pannelist's who actually have brain cells before they start spouting BS. If we are not careful, OFCOM will start hurting the stations financially, if we keep making wild hot-headed speeches. All it takes is a single complaint from a viewer.

No arrests made yet.

Camera footage hasn't been analyzed.

Brar's wife isn't even sure the attackers were Sikhs.

Yet Indian media is already blaming Khalistanis.

They are trying to be slick, but this haphazard plot wreaks of desi.

GOI isn't too happy about Sikhs protesting in U.K. and getting some Congress guys banned. Maybe Rowlings new book, put them over the edge.

    • 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.
