Sikh federation uk have branded it as irresponsible media coverage. There statement is on there Facebook page. They're saying it may cause communal tensions.

Seems like a cowardly response to me, to Sikh Federation ever comment on street grooming and abuse or are they scared that may cause community tensions as well..

Many organisations that you think represent your interests are covertly funded and infiltrated by the state hence they never rock the boat. I'm not saying this is the case with the Sikh Federation but you have to question their silence on the grooming scandal when our sisters where clearly targeted? I have been to the SAS presentation in Gurdwaras I have no doubt these are the Sikh organisations and we should be supporting including, Basics of Sikhi, the makers of Amu, and a whole hosts of others that quietly get on with the Sewa and bring Sukh from Dukh!

seen this video- simply wrong place at the wrong time?

i was honestly thinking ..................is that singh coming out of a pub? or a party?

Nobody will dare to touch or say anything in a normal atmosphere.

even if has come out of a pub or club, it doesn't give a reason for him to be attacked. It's been mentioned it's not a pub or club it's a hotel but we don't know if came out there. He may just been walking past, it don't matter it's a violent attack.

It doesn't matter where he came out of I.e: a bar or club. The story on the Sikh youth Birmingham facebook page says that they know the Singh being attacked personally and these guys were harassing his cousin sister, he had already had already had an altercation with one of them earlier that night. Later they jumped him with bigger numbers.

The location is broad Street on Birmingham, outside jury's inn hotel which for people not local to the area is the street where most of the bars, clubs, restaurants are. Jury's inn is more or less in a prime area of broad street near mooch bar and bar risa where a lot of "Asians" go to.

Is there any actual confirmation of why it happened and who was involved? (Not just hearsay on the ever reliable 'Facebook')

A lot assumptions been made, they may well be correct.. or not.

Sikh feds response is both the most and reasonable and responsible that ive heard yet.

A few statements by the Sikh Federation (UK) on grooming:

Sometimes we forget organisations like the Sikh Federation (UK) do issue statements on grooming and do not mix their words. Very few other organisations that have a range of activities take up the issue in the media and politically. Perhaps we allow ourselves to forget such matters as the Sikh Federation (UK) is so vocal on many other issues or we dislike them for some reason.

The issue is also tackled head on in the Sikh Manifesto and two meetings have taken place with the UK Govt in the last few weeks.

The above is accepted but the statements are through third party websites? Shouldn't all the articles above feature prominently on the Sikh Federation website as the issue of grooming and race against Sikhs is current and onging? Also with your recent meetings with the UK government, if you are to represent us as Sikhs have the minutes been published so we as a community know what was or not said on our behalf?

    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj. 
    • best thing is to follow the Sikh Rehat Maryada and use common sense for gray areas. Anything outside of that's irrelevant tbh that code is what Guru Gobind Singh Ji and the 5 Pyaare agreed on when creating Amrit in 1699
