Although Mann KAum liye Qurban defo has a point, it would be a lto easier if he wore a PAtka or sometihng and there was a scene of two with him Nanga sir - would due

but from the story it seems it's mostly underwater tongue.gif

although we should give a big hadn of pplaud to him..

I think some people have already pointed this out, but this movie is really a blessing for Sikhs in America.

Some of the positive points :

1) Americans can see a FULL sardar….not a half sardar or partial sardar.

2) Americans can see what is actually under the turban. They will learn the reason why Sikhs wear a turban ( the practical side). Americans will see that Sikhs keep uncut hair and they need a turban to cover it.

3) We can start building knowledge currency. “What’s a Sikh dude?” answer: “Remember that movie…”

4) Hollywood will be the best way to counter Bollywood nonsense. When Americans see a Sikh…THEY WILL REMEMBER! We can break away from the stereotype that Americans have of Indians as being “ curry eating, funny talking, hindus”. Americans will see us distinct from being just Indians.

5) This will open the door for more roles with Sikhs…even if it’s just for the “exotic” factor.

We have organizations like SMART, Sikh Coalition, etc whp are engaged in educating Americans. Just think what this movie will do for exposure. It will at least make Americans curious about us.

Plus, Sikhs don’t have to wear a Turban all the time. If the situation requires, a Sikh can take it off.

Like when bathing….being in WATER.

I agree on both sides. seeing sikh bare head is also not a good sight, but hey that will save us from lotsss of questions from ppls asking what's inside the turban and at least they will know that its HAIR and so on. But still its kinda touching topic..

But it's better step taken by hollywood of having a real sardar, maybe in future they will improve a lot. Look at English patient, a mona hindu guy did the role of Sikh, now we have a sikh doing the role of sikh :wub: I think it's good and it's wayyy better than what bollywood do in the category of sikh roles.

i say more power to him :TH:

after decades of seeing skanky mumbai-an actors with dead rodents strapped to their faces acting like sikhs are nothing but dhol-playing drunks, terrorists & criminals that also do a bit of idol worship when they get some spare time from their dhol-playing, drinking, terrorism and crime-

this is GOOD to see

:wub: ))))

guys drop the political correctness the guys got kesh and dhari but where is his dastar????  he looks silly in the second picture holding a video camera with his gotee on his head , what a wasted oppurtunity.

If you people slamming the guy for not wearing a turban in a couple scenes haven't noticed, this movie is about DEEP SEA DIVERS, leave it to Sikhs to immediately go after the faults of one gursikhs accomplishments even when he's not doing anything wrong, how can you go deep sea diving with a full keski?!?! ridiculous. nonono.gif

its not ridiculous... u can still wear a ramal or patka to keep your hair covered...

...also we should reserve judgement until we actually see the movie, it could be great...

...but if it has seens with him drinking, and going out with girls etc, it wont be great...

but until we see it, we shouldnt knock it

    • Umm, that's totally irrational, bro. There are plenty of prakash-dara Singhs in Punjab (less than we'd like, but still plenty). No one cares that you are sabat soorat. It isn't 1986. You can walk around in chola, kurta-pajama, or jeans. Whatever. If you want the look @dallysingh101 is referring to, just go into a cheap clothing shop (not a Western-style mall) and buy some shirts for 250 rupees or a track suit for 2000 rupees. You'll get the cheap stuff made in some sweatshop in Bombay.
    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
