There was a debate today regarding " Muslim Patrol" where by a group have been patrolling parts of London telling people how to dress, and they cant smoke on the street.

This presenter on more than one occasion brought up Sikhs

@ 50.01 He has an issue with women being told to cover their head in Gurdwaras - (there not told they know anyway) - we are not telling people to do outside the Gurdwara , so what his problem

@ some other point he brings up, when a mixed marriage was stopped at Swindon Gurdwara, did we say they couldn't get married at a reg office

This guy is a Middle class communists.

Have the BBC ever done anything for Sikhs?

If this is the kind of rubbish they use to present their shows, I want my licence fee money back.

Someone should create a blacklist of all these anti-Sikh personalities. When the BBC Asian Network gets cut (which will happen the way the Government are starving the BBC) we cant let them start DJing or attempting to weed their way back into our wallets.

He is a Hindu Punjabi, isn't he. Ignore him, there are loads of such Youtube Videos made by these Fascits even critizing Harimandir Sahib Parikarima. I won't be surprised if tomorrow he comes with another comment such as they don't allow to place idols in Gurudwaras? Worship Idols in Gurudwaras? Do RaamLila in Gurudwaras?

The few times I've caught him on the radio he's always struck me as a very disingenuous presenter. What he does is he asks a question to a guest or the audence, but you can tell from his tone, his inflection, the way he follows up, etc., he simply isn't listening to the other person when they reply. He just follows the script or an outline of where he wants the discussion to go, and just steams through regardless. You may as well have a robot presenting if that's the way you want to conduct a debate or discussion.

One thing I've noticed about the AN, particularly their head news anchor (the names escapes me but she is a female) hasn't got a clue on how to regulate her voice and tailor it according to the type of news she's delivering. Now, I'm no expert and I've only noticed these things after listening to decent radio stations who train their speakers up in a professional manner, but this lass delivers what is generally considered to be bad news by perking-up her voice at the end of a sentence, lol! You're not meant to do that in radio or TV for that matter!

For example when someone has been murdered, the news reporter should adopt a grave tone, and then speak slowly, gradually ending the report on a lower octave than when he/she began that particular report. What this girl does is start off chirpy and then ends like she's announcing her chacha has won the lottery! "Yesterday in London, a 40 year old man was STABBED TO DEATH!". It's so infuriatingly unprofessional but funny to listen to.

Yes, this is how I get my giggles.

the guy is a robot, and he will stop you if you talk about something he not got facts about, so you can only talk about stuff he knows about.

Our people in the uk need stop calling ourselves asain and start calling ourselves British Sikhs. Its the Papus and those who are brain washed who want to be "asian" and part of the bbc asian network.

    • 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.  
    • Author Posted April 24   On 4/21/2025 at 2:43 PM, ipledgeblue said: sirr should not be nanga because keski is usually worn.   Sikhs can sleep nanga-sirr if they choose to . 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?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj.
