Sikh Should Take Over India Media

[Nalwa]

How many times we have see that anti Sikh people used media against us to defame our image . We saw this during Punjabi Suba movement who everyone was going after Master Tara Singh and Akali Dal, during Dharam Yudh morcha against Sant Ji , during 1984 riots , why fanatatics Hindu activities in and outside punjab was never disclosed . We are still struggling to get acknowledgment of international community that 1984 was genocide but what about Blue Star did people say that was genocide too ? All army men who were involved in it should be charged for war crimes . Instead of wasting our money on nagar kirtans we should utilize that money to buy , famous publication houses , Newspapers , TV channels .

It's true Sikhs need representation by media outlets in india, but government machinery is working to make this very diffiicult or near imopossible. Licenses for Sikh TV channels are very unlikely to be granted in Punjab or India even if the vast amount of funding to run the channel was available.

The easiest, cost most cost effectve method is to make greater use of technology internet video sites such as youtube, social media to spread awareness facebook, twitter etc. Mobile technoligies to encourage people on the ground in punjab to disclose news of any issues quickly film it on their mobile phones and upload to the internet as quickly as they andf forward it to international media outlets.

This is how in the past couple of years a lot of momentum has been gained i.e: Professor Bhullar case, shaheedi of Jaspal Singh, Bhai Gurbakash Singhs Morcha etc. This is the way forward forget about trying to get licwences for indian based pro Sikh media the state machinery is against the freedom of speech, truth and justice.

We have alredy seen how effectve social media and the internet can be with the Arab Spring risings in Egypt, an across the middle east.

What 'legal rights' are we pursuing when it is the same legal system persecuting us? We need to rise above the law like Sant Bhindrawale

[POODNA]

Why does it sound ridiculous? The law means nothing to me. I feel no obligation to obide by it nor do I expect any justice from it.

Are you talking about arm struggle ? if yes then i have to say we are not in a position to do so but we should protest against government on days Indian Independence day , Republic day at least keep atmosphere were average Sikhs feel that so called democracy is anti Sikh . WE HAVE TO INCREASE OUR NUMBERS

[POODNA]

Yes I'm talking about the arms struggle. I wouldn't say we have been stripped of arms but moreover as Sikhs we have shrugged our responsibility to be self-armed. In this day and age if it means carrying riffles and guns then do so- whatever it may take to fight the oppressor.

Another point I would like to make is that democracy is not failing in Inidia- it is working! Democracy favours the popular opinion and in a majority non-Sikh nation our values are frankly neglected. I feel frustrated when people link democracy to Sikhi. Think about it. The 5 Takht political system established by Guru Har Gobind had nothing to do with democracy. We need to fight for the political system that was bestowed upon us by our Guru - not low, selfish, vote-hungry politicians!
