A Candle in the Dark – An Exhibition of Sikh History

The National Sikh Youth Federation will on 30 October launch in the UK Parliament an exhibition of Sikh history.

This exhibition will showcase how, in the context of Sikh history, Guru Nanak’s mission to build a truly utopian society encountered violent opposition. We will take you on a journey through the challenges we have faced from the beginnings of the Sikh Way, right up to the shocking events of our recent history, the Delhi Genocide of November 1984.

This exhibition is being launched to commemorate the atrocities of the Delhi genocide in November 1984. An estimated 30,000 Sikhs were killed in an orchestrated and premeditated attack aiming to vanquish enduring proponents of Guru Nanak’s ideology; who did not succumb to the atrocities of the attack on Amritsar (Operation Blue Star) and the purge of Sikh youth in Operation Woodrose.

This will be a national exhibition, which will tour the United Kingdom for 6-8 weeks with venues currently booked in:

London 31st Oct – 4th Nov

Midlands 8th Nov – 11th Nov

Leeds 15th Nov – 18th Nov

Glasgow 22nd Nov – 25th Nov

Cardiff 29th Nov – 2nd Dec

The Sikh Federation (UK) who has booked the Boothroyd Room in Portcullis House (above Westminster tube station) in the Houses of Parliament between 6-8pm on Tuesday 30 October for the launch of the NSYF exhibition is pleased to confirm a good cross section of Sikhs have emailed sikhfederationuk@yahoo.co.uk to book a seat for the event.

Younger Sikhs and professionals working in and around London in particular are encouraged to book a seat for the event as seats are limited.

The event is in the evening when most should have finished work so that should not be an excuse.

We thank the Sikh Federation for organising the launch at Portcullis House.

Have you contacted your MP about the event next Tuesday and also sent your MP the briefing relating to Bhai Kulbir Singh Barapind and Bhai Daljit Singh Bittu produced by Khalsa Human Rights (see attached).

Have you booked your seat for the event if you are hoping to attend. Email sikhfederationuk@yahoo.co.uk to receive an invitation.

MPs that are being contacted directly by the Sikh Federation (UK) about Bhai Kulbir Singh Barapind and Bhai Daljit Singh Bittu are saying their Sikh constituents have not sent through the Khalsa Human Rights briefing.

Please download and send through to your MPs ASAP to help get these Singhs released from prison.

Should try and get this on Sangat TV and Sikh Channel as a Promo, probably too late for the UK parliament launch on Tuesday 30 October.

Looking forward to this.
