Big Statement By Nihal On Bbc Asain Network On Sikhs

[Ranjeet01]

most of them by a couple of people talking back and forth it's OK there'll be people who gain from it being said out loud ... not point being squeamish and ill-informed . Sikhi is a practical thing not a superstition filled thing. We do actions that help us reach higher and further faster not cower to popular opinion just to stop rocking others boats of complacency. Any way Waheguru sabh uppar mehr karen te Gurmat Buddhi bakshini

[Ranjeet01]

Sikhi is indeed practical and not superstitious, it's a shame that some of our brothers and sisters don't realise that.

[jkvlondon]

I personally think that Sikhs should abstain from BBC Asian Network, we need to find better social media such as podcasts where we can discuss Sikh subjects. The BBC always tries to portray Sikhs in a negative light and will amplify issues where there are none and then the gullible idiots from our community will agree with them.

You cannot win an argument in the format these shows are presented because they have all the cards stacked in their favour.

The sooner the BBC Asian network disappears from the network the better.

they want people who have 'assimilated' to be presenters , most of the people I know working for them are very anti traditional anything, and sniffy about our desire to stay niarey.

[Ranjeet01]

We are assimilated in one way or another but there is a difference between our assimilation and their assimilation. They are only anti-traditional because their white masters are. They have no real understanding of why those traditions are there in the first place, a lot of them make sense. The minute their white masters change their tact they will change too.

For example, 20 years ago these types would have sneered at yoga, but because it is now fashionable to do yoga, particularly amongst the white middle class, I bet these types know love yoga.

Another example: they would probably say having a beard is archaic, however if anyone has observed a lot of white males are growing beards, particularly the hipsters. I wonder what our girls who don't like beards suddenly do a 180 when the white mainstream media find beards attractive and desirable.

It's his job to play to play devils advocate, it is easy to identify his stance but he does try to retain the balance, blatantly you can tell his stance and he takes the Michael when he disagrees.

Again don't bury your heads in the sand and boycott it and don't listen anymore. NO that is the worst thing, phone in, text or email in and readdress the balance, let others know what the great dharma of Sikhi is about!

[JSinghnz]

Has anyone picked up the phone or sent an email of complaint to BBC on these slanderous comments by Nihal.

BBC should apologize to all for this blunder.

Could someone also please send a clipping of this so that Sikhs worldwide could also lodge complaints.

[JSinghnz]

the neo sikhism being preached by sgpc is not good, this is nothing about wherether its natural phenomena or not. its about sucham

Nah, it is about your true hindu, brahaman, ritualistic, "hollow sucham" mindset.

[HardeepCov]

I've never seen any women walking around with bloodstained clothes because of their period.

I could understand this being an issue decades or centuries back, but these days there are things called tampons and pads etc available.

[Ranjeet01]

He does not really retain any balance, if Sikhs do not bother with his program, there is no longer any "bait" and then we do not get these stupid topics.

I remember this US Sikh guy (cannot recall his name) who was on his show regarding 1984, it was amazing how understanding all of a sudden he became. People know how great the dharma is, that is why keep trying to knock it down.

Sikhs are the backbone of the wider "Asian" community and we pioneered for the rest to follow. Without the Sikhs, BBC Asian Network can be shown for what it really is Bollywoodised/coconut/Gujerati/dhimmified Islampheliac station.

It is time for us to pioneer again.

[savinderpalsingh]

Nah, it is about your true hindu, brahaman, ritualistic, "hollow sucham" mindset.
