endemic hatred of sikhs in India (past 50 yrs-present)

Hi

Just a list of ways that Hindus have shown active hatred towards Sikhs in recent history (with proof).

The point of this thread is not to promote hatred of Hindus.  Hatred is against religious all tenets (God is Nirvair, so sikhs should strive to be too), and also obviously not all Hindus are bad/hate Sikhs.  A lot of Hindus have spoke up for Sikhs, both in the past and now, even at risk to themselves and their careers.  Also, alot of Hindus have interest in Sikhi and Gurbani and go to Gurdwara, I would not like those Hindus to feel bad or put off at all.  In fact they may also find this enlightening.

1.  Santa Banta / Sardarji Jokes

throughout the 80s, 90s and early 2000 it was common for hindu media and popular culture to promote vicious 'jokes' trying to ridicule Singhs and always frame them as stupid.  the whole tenor of these jokes was nasty.  i wish some one would compile them to show the world what kind of 'humour' was being promoted.  the whole aim was to belittle sikhs and insult them in the public imagination.  this compares to how Nazis targeted Jews in their media.

3.  Bollywood depiction of Sikhs

again, I wish someone would compile the blatant nastiness shown against sikhs in cinema from 80s up until present, and put it on youtube to show the real nature of 'bollywood'.  I have been quite disgusted by the amount of times my aunt has been watching some bollywood film and i have randomly sat down and seen some sort of ridicule or put down of sikhs (always with a turbaned character to make it clear).

4.  Sunny Leone- Bollywood had to go all the way to Canada to get Sunny Leone.  Why?  Aren't there Hindu girls in India who work as pornstars?  Of course there are, but Hindu audiences don't want to see that...

5.  Dharendra and Dara Singh had to convert to Hinduism (Arya Samaj) in order to have film careers.  (though not sure why Dara kept 'Singh' in his name?)

6.  Hindi Dramas- in Hindi tv dramas Hindu woman are always depicted as ideal wives, doing religious ceremonies and running around after their Hindu husbands.  Where as Sikh women are shown as devious, running around with their 'bf' behind their parents backs etc.  again, why the double standard?

7.  Subramanium Swami-  theres footage on Youtube some where of him addressing some Hindus in USA I think, where he says Manmohan Singh "was only good at taking orders" and the audience start laughing exaggeratedly and hysterically (diss at Manmohan SIngh).  He also admits working with some other 'Singh' in his speech but lowers the tone when he mentions his name.  basically trying to take credit for Singhs work.  i can't find this anymore i suspect he had it taken down because it was at a small function in USA (he didn't want anyone to see it).

8.  Amrita Pritam vs Kamala Das

Indian media loves to hype up Amrita Pritam.  Pritam got famous for one (!) poem.   After she won a literary prize (which gave her money) she dumped her husband and started running after the most famous male poet at the time (a muslim).  he slept with her once then dumped her without telling her and got a hindu girlfriend instead.  she spent the rest of her life running after him.  now is a man acted like this after a woman people would say he was a loser and a creep, but Pritam is some how praised as some romance figure and great poet (for one poem?)

meanwhile, there was Hindu lady poet - Kamala Das, at the same time.  Das was very famous for a number of books (not just one poem).  After her husband died, she fell in love with a muslimsand converted to Islam.  And guess what?  She was blacklisted.  No one even bothers to mention her name anymore.  

Again, double standard?

9.  Master Madan- child prodigy at music.  Natural gift for singing.  was murdered by poising at age of 15.  funny, no one ever tied to poison any hindu or muslim singers?

10. Ishmeet Singh-  winner of Indias first national TV singing competition.  Found drowned in a swimming pool with signs of violence of his body (basically murdered) whilst on tour with other Hindu singers and crew.  Again, nothing like this has happened to any Hindu winners?  Btw, Ishmeet couldn't swim, so would not have gone into the pool by his own accord.

11.  Joyce Pettigrew- anthropologist working in India in the 80s.  When she suggested the situation with the Sikhs would be suitable for study, she was beaten and raped.

12.   Chandigarh- Panjab has to 'share' Chandigarh with Haryana.  No other state in India has to do this. 

guys add more points if you think of any.

Yh Amrita pritam is very overrated. She's more famous for her affairs than her actual work. Media always mentions her affairs. Shiv Kumar batalvis work is a lot better than hers yet nobody outside of Punjab has heard of him. Amrita pritam was a slapper. 

Theres many indian pornstars  sahara knite, priya rai   etc   yet they got sunny leone and then they released that movie about her with kaur in the title when she doesnt even use kaur in her name. 

Currently theres a drama on colors tv called choti sardarni and it's about a sikh female who gets pregnant before marriage and then her mother forces an abortion and gets her married to a respectable sardar.

I’ve long seen what Bollywood promotes and it’s stuff like sex before marriage, “living in”, boyfriend/girlfriend relationships, alcohol, tobacco, drugs, and putting down Sikhs. It’s why i abhor it and don’t watch it.

I see many apni girls who look up to Bollywood. They are influenced by it, heavily so. Bollywood is a force of evil.

Shiv Kumar Batalvi is probably the most famous and bets known punjabi poet.  but this isnt a surprise since he is a hindu brahmin.  

if you read the guy's biography, halfway through his life someone gave him a job at a bank at Chandigarh.  in what way does being a 'poet' make you qualified to be a bank manager? lol.  (i.e. he just got that role based on his religion and caste.  typical of post-'independance' indian corruption.)

he also romanticised alcoholism and his poetry is very narcissistic.  

i saw an interview with him on youtube once and he was clearly drunk.  how is that respectable?  he cannot even show up to an interview sober.

hindu guys, both in india and the west, also target sikh girls to use for sex and then dump.  i have seen it numerous times.

hindus see sikhs are lessor people, and see sikh women as ripe for exploitation.

    • I was searching igurbani.com which gives correct pronunciation of Gurbani. I can’t remember all of it at once. I guess it relies on more practice, like more Sehaj Paths. The meaning becomes clearer. I have noticed slight variants in it. This could be because it’s written in old Punjabi.  
    • Veer Manpreet Singh, a lay preacher, claims that -Sikhs aren't supposed to worship Guru Granth Sahib ji. -We are only supposed to worship God as is written in Guru Granth Sahib ji. -We only "revere" Guru Granth Sahib ji.     He says a lot of other things in this video, some are good refutations of Hindu superstitions, but the reformers often go too far. Anyways, what he is saying about not worshipping Guru Granth Sahib ji is totally wrong. The reason is Guru Granth Sahib ji is Guru. Guru is Satguru. Satguru is God. We worship God. Therefore, we also worship Satguru (Guru Granth Sahib ji).   There are innumerable verses in Gurbani equating God and Guru. ਗੁਰੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਗੁਰੁ ਡੁਬਦਾ ਲਏ ਤਰਾਇ ॥੨॥ The Guru is the Supreme Lord and the Transcendent Master. The Guru floats (saves) the drowning one. p49   ਗੁਰੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਏਕੋ ਜਾਣੁ ॥ Know the Guru and God as One. p864   ਗੁਰ ਨਾਲਿ ਤੁਲਿ ਨ ਲਗਈ ਖੋਜਿ ਡਿਠਾ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੰਡੁ ॥ There is no one at par with the Guru. I have searched and seen the whole universe. p49 (If the Guru is the greatest in the whole universe, shouldn't we worship the Guru?)   I'd like to ask Manpreet Singh what is worship? Any reasonable definition would include obeisance, remembrance, and praise. Those are exactly the same things Gurbani says to do regarding Guru! Remembrance and obeisance: ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਅਪਨਾ ਸਦ ਸਦਾ ਸਮ੍ਹਾਰੇ ॥ Ever, ever, I think of the True Guru, ਗੁਰ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ਕੇਸ ਸੰਗਿ ਝਾਰੇ ॥੧॥ and the Guru's feet I brush with my head's hair. p387   Praise: ਗੁਰੁ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਆਪਿ ॥ The Guru himself is the transcendent Lord and the supreme master. ਆਠ ਪਹਰ ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰ ਜਾਪਿ ॥੪॥੧੬॥੬੭॥ Throughout the eight watches of the day, O Nanak meditate thou on the Guru. p387   In fact, Gurbani says the way to find God is to worship (puja) of Guru: ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ਧੋਇ ਧੋਇ ਪੂਜਹੁ ਇਨ ਬਿਧਿ ਮੇਰਾ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਲਹੁ ਰੇ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ Washing and bathing the True Guru's feet, worship thou them. In this way thou shall obtain my Lord Master. Pause. p1118   Could it be any clearer that we are to worship Guru ji?
    • Bro, reciting a shorter Chaupai Sahib is hardly "anti-Dasam". It's fine to argue that the longer Chaupai is more traditional, but the short one isn't anti-Dasam. That's like claiming shorter Rehras is anti-Guru Granth Sahib ji just because there are fewer selections from Guru Granth Sahib. It might not be traditional, but it's not anti-Guru Granth Sahib. I prefer the longer versions, but let's not exaggerate. Every tradition has a slightly different Rehras version. Nanaksar vs Taksal vs Nihangs and so on. The basic template for Rehras is at the beginning of Guru Granth Sahib ji. Later, Chaupai Sahib was added and Anand Sahib always follows as the end of a process. Then some sangats added more saloks to start Rehras and others were added at the end. Some additional selections from Dasam Bani were also added, but it wasn't the same ones for every sangat. The important thing is to not hate on each other for these variations.
    • Umm, so you're upset that this jatha did Chaupai the same way it's being done at Harimandar Sahib for 100 years? Shouldn't you be upset at the manager of Darbar Sahib? I'm not saying that Sikhs who are aware of certain issues shouldn't do the longer Chaupai, but there are only so many battles you can fight. Instead of calling some jatha traitors because they're doing the (for better or worse) "standard" Chauapai published by the SGPC, it would be better to change things from the central point. You can't fault the average Sikh for picking up the average Gutka and doing paath.
    • It's the same here in Toronto. Alot of the gudwaras here are political orientated and get tons of funding from the government-probably want them stay hush hush with all the BS that has been happening with India.  These guys are skewing gurbani. A complaint was sent to a ragi singh a couple of days ago in regards to a hukamnama.
