Shocking Use Of Words By Journos

cant we all do a revolution against the elders who run the gudwara and overthrow them. put in younger singhs who dont care about money

That will be accomplished just as soon as we drop our far-fetched ideas about old people. They're not wiser than young people, by and large, only stupider, greedier and more corrupt.

I'm sorry to say I don't know, nothing presents itself to me except a smear campaign against the elderly, which would never actually get off the ground. I suppose we can each try to convince the Sikhs whom we know personally that our elders are largely irrelvant. I've brought a couple of people over to this line of thinking.

How could Baba mohinder singh have such an anti Gurmat stance is sad to say the least. He has taken his inter faith philosophy to the extreme to the expense of his Sikhi.

Why blame the media ?

Just like they did in Southall the above article makes it clear that the journalists went through proper channels and consulted a leading local Sikh to fill them in on the situation. Just like what happened in Southall we discover that our 'learned elderly Amritdhari respected Sikh leaders' are nothing short of a hot steaming pile of tutti.

So, lets not blame the jounalists here. Lets look closely at what kind of man Dr Mohinder Singh is and what exactly does the massive Gurdwara on Soho Road actually stand for.

Then you have sub-questions such as why he is so in favour of mixed marriages in the Gurdwaras. Who are his children married to etc ?

So, to recap: The journalists keep behaving responsibly and consulting our elderly Sikh leaders for guidance. Our 'Sikh leaders' keep selling us out. But instead of bringing these Sikh institutions to book we blame the journalists. Thus, given our stupidity, we are getting the kind of press we deserve.

Check this out jagsaw, it seems the sikh PA, informed the newspaper/journalist of who to speak to, to get an all rounded review of this sham marriage fiasco, but it appears the journo, deliberatly chose not to speak to people who would speak the truth. Ive got this from the sikh PA twitter account.

I'm trying to find info that Jagsaw alluded to regarding this individual's offspring. You seem to be clued up on the ins and outs of these types of Sikh personalities in the UK, Jonny Ji, any news on this holy man?

My observation regarding this guy is that he is quite educated.

This makes me wonder when we question the fitness of unpadh pendu s in governing our gurdwaras and all matters Sikhi, we do not question the fitness of someone conventionally educated as it seems they can be just as clueless.

This Mohinder person seems to want to compromise rather than stick to the principles. If he can compromise on one principles, what else could he compromise on? It seems to be moral cowardness on his part.

I checked out his profile on Wikipedia, and he seems to be a keen advocate for a fair bit of interfaith malarkey. Nothing wrong with that, of course, as long as it's understood that Sikh aims and interests are not relegated to afterthoughts in the pursuit of pleasing others and chasing plaudits for being such an upstanding member of society.

This Mr Mohinder Singh Alhuwalia (he uses the title 'Dr' not because he's actually done a doctorate but because a couple of universities have given him an honourary doctorate in recognition for his 'inter-faith' work). As far as I'm concerned then, he's nothing more than a 'Mr'.

This man basically earns his vast money by treating vulnerable elderly people like dirt. He is the owner of the following elderly care / nursing homes in the Birmingham area:

• Bartholomew Lodge Nursing Home
• Bearwood Nursing Home
• Richmond Court Nursing Home
• Woodcross Lodge Nursing Home

In each of his elderly care homes, the care quality commission found that the standard of care, safety and dignity afforded to the vulnerable residents was unsatisfactory.

He also owns the Marg Sat Santokh (MSS) Building suppliers in Birmingham.

He also owns Global Land Sales Ltd.

He is also the Director of Sangat TV. Which is why you won't find Sangat TV saying anything negative about him.

He is also the head of the Nishkam Sevak Jatha Gurdwara on Soho Road in Birmingham. Looking at the names of the other board members it is clear they have a policy of 'Ramgharias Only'. Every last one of them.

But most of all, he is a hot steaming pile of tutti.

Are there any prominent figures in modern Sikhi who aren't rolling around in cash or don't have a handful of money-making enterprises on the go? I'm all for entrepreneurship, but knowing human nature, these are NOT the kind of people whom I will look towards for spiritual guidance and leadership on matters of principle. Not surprised one bit.
