IS THIS FROM BLUE STAR

excellent observation Lsingh Ji. I find the same attitude with the singers of panjab, who sing about Sikh history upto Shaheed Bhagat Singh only. They are too scared to say anything about sikhs in india after 47.

Are they really under that much of a threat? Astounding. From the outside looking in you wouldn't think so.

im thinking panjabi singers, like harbhajan maan and sardool sikander etc they are more scared of losing fans, so therefore losing income, that they are not willing to sing about subjects like the horrific state zulm against Sikhs such as false police encounters.

not about them being scared of the police.

Yep, I get that impression that as well.

For a moment I thought we had an East German situation going on, lol.

I guess Punjabi singers are afraid that they might lose fans if they sing about Sikh Martyrs, although I doubt that, Manak didn’t lose any fans when he sang about Sikhs during 1980s. Also, why most "parcharks/sants" will rather talk about moguls and afghans atrocities, but not about the atrocities that happened recently and are happening now. Of course, one of the reason is that the hindu govt will put them in a jail like they have done to Bhai Kulbir Singh Barapind and Bhai Daljit Singh Bittu.

With the recent rise in awarness about The Genocide, a few artists are raising awarness. The film Sada Haq coming out in April covers the Genocide and those artists don't seem scared.. So the others keeping quite must be doing so deliberately.

Is this journalist still around? Would be good to do a report interview with him and see what wasn't written in the press
