Shocking Use Of Words By Journos

[MisterrSingh]

The western media, particularly in the UK, is an absolute farce. Left and Right, it's all one big lie. Journalism is dead. It's not about uncovering the Truth and holding the powerful to account for their misdemeanours any more. Now, it's about pushing an agenda on a gradually befuddled and demoralised public, playing one side off against the other, men vs women, whites vs ethnics, West vs East. Disgusting state of affairs across the board.

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?

His followers use titles for him such as "The keeper of the Golden temple" and "His Holiness" for the western media after he conducted some karseva at Sri Darbar Sahib. He is really big on doing inter faith meetings so he probably does not want to hurt the sentiments of his inter faith friends even if it means taking an anti Gurmat stance like he clearly has in this news article.

Since the start, opponents of Sikhs have used words for Sikhs that are harsh. Mughals called Sikhs as rebels, Qazi noor Mohammad called Sikhs as Dogs, the British called Singhs like Akali phoola Singh jee as "Fanatics" because he stood for Sikhi. And in today's era, those who stand for their Gurus Sikhi are called terms like militant, fundamentalist etc even if they are not using violence and are perfectly peaceful! These terms always been used by two category of people. 1) non Sikhs 2) those Sikhs who don't mind knifing their own community in the back in order to gain some sort of validation and recognition of mainstream society.

There are O.B.Es, Knighthoods and honourary Doctorates to be had. They're not silly. They know who their masters are and they serve them well....and then get ready to reap the rewards and awards that come their way. Just remember, their master is not waheguru.

They know what they're doing and they do it so well. Please their masters, reap the financial benefits, buy yourself regular airtime on the Sikh Channel and Sangat TV because that way your money will ensure they never say anything bad about you. Its an all too familiar story. Its not just Mr Mohinder Singh Ahluwalia. Millionaiire pardhans up and down the country are playing the same game and they're playing the game on us !

We need to put down the Sikh History books. We no longer need to teach our children about our historical struggle with the masands that took over our Gurdwaras. It is no longer history. It is the present time. In fact its worse now because now those masands come cloaked in the guise of a Sikh.

Someone like him should know better. He can't attribute his mistake to a misunderstanding. Time and time again it's our own that stick the knife in. What exactly are these wolves in sheep's clothing up to?

When I was a young teen a tyar-bar-tyar older Singh (in his 30's) gave me a sage piece of advice that riled me at the time. "Trust Sikhi, but never trust a Sikh." I was quite offended by his statement, but being 13 or 14 I laughed it off. 15 or so years later I can say that Singh was spot on. Nailed it.
