3 days in and no media coverage at all all around the world

[SikhSeeker]

• Sikhs in Uk have been protesting outside 10 Downing street since Friday non stop since Friday
• Potential death of an innocent man who has been in a hospital for 6 months or so because of mental health issue

And yet no media outlets in Uk or the world are reporting this. Not even a signal mention. I cannot applaud and be proud of the Sangat who are there right now and overnight. It gets me so angry however, that our efforts are falling on deaf ears here.

It goes to show that politicians and media don't care about protests or whatever it doesn't matter to them one bit if it don't interest them. The thing they are interested in is money and power. This is what we have to take away from them to get noticed.

We can stop our voting or funding for these parties then that would be a start, its drastic but it would make them notice. It might just be a slight dent to these politicians but it will make them notice. Let them know that if they don't even at least acknowledge the fact that we have been protesting that we will take some sort of action against them. Stop funding these politicians if we even do now because this is all they care about.

If we can all unite and this is the big thing but if we unite together we can make a bigger difference, if anyone got any ideas of how to tackle this add them on here. We need to it them where it hurts

BBC are anti-Sikh when it comes to our rights and the freedom movement in India. You must've seen the Bhai Rajoana news articles and the 1984 Sikh story documentry. But I'm suprised Nihal hasn't done a show on it.

I don't know much about Nihal, but does he project us positively?

The official line is 'partiality'. But if you listen to him he can't wrap his head around anyone taking up arms to defend themselves even when the situation requires it. So it's either so-called democratic and peaceful means of resistance, or tough luck and take whatever consequences end up coming our way.

I m surprised this happens in UK as well...I thought this kind of behaviour Is shown by indian political leaders only :O

I can't understand people with this type of thinking. They just can't accept the idea of anyone defending themselves who have exhausted every possible means of peaceful resistance against an aggressor who uses every low immoral violent tactic known to man.

I know, I feel the same way. The assumption that a government (and by extension anyone acting on its behalf) can never be wrong; that all decisions it makes are just and required, is an absolute fallacy, and I tell you the media - of whatever country - are complicit in spreading this lie amongst the people so that revolutions and uprisings are quelled at the onset. It's an absolutely pathetic and weak-minded perspective on life. What do you expect from "company men", i.e. individuals who toe the party / official line as opposed to what is moral and true?

I'm not one for resorting to violence at the drop of a hat, but when your backs are against the wall, and there's no other way out, then I honestly don't see the problem in fighting fire with fire.

True. When you read Sikh history, it is clear that Sikhs have never been the ones who have started the war. War has always been forced on the Sikhs by the aggressor. Sikhs have always been the defensive side. The Mughals, Afghans, British, Muslims(in 1947), Hindustani Government, Narakdharis, Sacha Sauda have all been the aggressors. Yet Sikhs are made out to look like the savage aggressors for defending themselves and not acting like defenseless animals in a slaughter house.

Do you know who lets us down in situations such as these? Our so-called friends, or those in our own garb, but who are in-fact working against us. Time and time again it's certain elements on our own side that has caused us to lower our heads in shame or call a retreat. And our enemies know this very well; it's an inexorable Sikh trait, and even though it hurts me to say such a thing, it is exploited continuously. We just don't learn our lessons from history and the past in general.

You know that saying "Close but no cigar", i.e. fall just short of a successful outcome and get nothing for your efforts? That's us Sikhs in a nutshell.
