The Black Prince - New Film Based On Sikh Maharajah Duleep Singh

These articles are interesting. Sartaj says in an interview at Vancouver, that the British had distorted some parts of the history. 

One thing I don't understand is why none of the singers aren't supporting this movie or Satinder Sartaj? Is it jealousy? Is it because it's a Hollywood production and not Bollywood or Pollywood? Even at the Birmingham premiere, of what they showed on tv, there doesn't seem to be any artists or well known celebrities at it. But I only saw clips of it, not the full programme, so may have missed it. But I'm puzzled as to why the singers don't have it promoting on their fb pages, when normally they do promote others. Kavi Raz seems a good writer, and I would have thought they would have mentioned it for him. 

"Sofia Duleep Singh, the Maharaja’s daughter is famous for her part in the suffragette movement in England. Kavi says that he wants to make a film on her as well."

"Currently, Kavi is working on another period film, based on Indian independence, “which is a sort of a follow up on The Black Prince."

Another article from Hindustantimes, it seems to be promoting it in a positive way, rather than the previous negative one.

The one thing that baffles me is how on earth did the Sikhs back in Punjab sign up to fight for the British during their campaigns in India after such a short period of time that had elapsed.  Also why did they volunteer in masses to serve in the WW1 and WW2 to help the British again.  The memories of annexation should still have been fresh in their minds. 

Also I find hard to digest this romanticised Anglo Sikh relationship of loyal Sikhs and a beautiful friendship nonsense that we are still fed today.

Sometiing tells me the British still fear Sikhs to this day and view us as a threat as to why they still continue to stab us in the backs (1947, 1984 etc).  

Fast forward the events to the present day we are standing exactly where Duleep Singh and the Sikhs in Punjab were after the annexation.  We are still facing the same struggle for independence.  

I think we really need to be more vocal about the British betrayal and stop sucking up to these cunning sweet faced devils.  Going by our history can never and should not trust the British.

They probably didn't have a choice, but had to for income, but I don't know. @dallysingh101 paji could shed light on this. 

 

Not sure how accurate it is, but found this, a timescale of events of wars:

 Panjabis have always been independence driven people in WW1 they co-operated to the call of INC and elites to further cause by signing up but it only resulted in elites and richest Hindians getting voting rights in the new two house government system. in WW2 they signed up as part of the independence lehar bcos Goray promised to vacate India  first time reneged on promise and would have on second if they hadn't run out of cash and were so depleted as a nation

I've read more than one contemporary account by goray (who were obviously watching him) explaining away his apparently 'profligate' behaviour as a trait he inherited from his father. 

They destroyed his mother's reputation (apparently she was the only one with the bollox to challenge them in Panjab):

Duleep used to hang out with Victoria's lads who were also totally off the rails so I would take that with a handful of salt . The fact that they refer to Maharani Jind kaur as a dancing girl when she was nothing like that should tell you the level of lies they spin

    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
