Great ideas - hope all the recruits of this new outfit are as in the second panktee of the title "tera panth vasee maan ujraaa" -- "maan ujraa" people who are willing give 110%

Was speaking to my father about the committee over the weekend. The ISYF who took over this Gurdwara and many others in the UK by force and tried to implement the selection process using Panj Piyare failed. The main reason was the trustees (Johal off licence Empire), they are old school and backed all the iffy committee members that paid lip service to India House and still do. They caused trouble during pro Khalistan speeches, in typical fashion a few dastaaran were removed in heated scuffles, the police were called in on a several occasions and would arrive with shoes into the Darbar Sahib and eventually dissolved the illegal but Sangat backed ISYF. Without the support of these trustees and advice from some of the older and educated ISYF guys admittedly few in number! this movement is likely to come to a premature end.

Shocking. You can learn a lot from the past about gurdwara elections and the masands running them. Though its time for change. The Panth needs it. I really think TPV can make a change it just needs support and if there are elder Sikhs stopping them I would like to see them try. If it does succeed then other gurdwaras around the world need to copy.

Agree there is need for change, just want Jagraj Singh to be aware of what he is up against. He should confer with the likes of Parminder Bal, Dr Pargat Singh etc so he does not make the same mistakes as the ISYF. The way Trustees are appointed is not clear cut, once in this position it can be for life but if a charity is run properly then in the interest of the charity length of service should be for a set period. When the troubles started at the old Havelock Rd Gurdwara the trustees appointed a government chamcha called Beant. He had the gates locked for a while and Sangat protested outside and courted arrest.

This Gurdwara is allegedly raking in 250K per month so India House has a firm interest in maintaining an element of control of who comes into power and what is said on stage.

Just watched the video, in brief the 21 member committee if voted in will:

• Perform a full and forensic audit of the Gurdwara accounts after sitting with Sikh Professionals who are at Director level in their respective fields
• Provide a playgroup for young children
• Intensive Sikhi classes over summer breaks
• katha, kirtan, Maharaj seva training - make youth self sufficient
• Social care for fragile persons
• Care home and prison visits, parchar at local level in the community
• Every 2 months committee will make themselves available to the Sangat for a Q&A, as opposed to the half yearly AGMs at present
• Committee to be answerable to 5 Piyare

If TPV follow similar principles to the Calgary committee and voted in, the youth will be a major success! Guru Sahib Kirpa karan...
