Sunny's feminism, environmentalism and socialist credentials in large part is not out of any particular political conviction,  it is partly related to him trying to look favourable to the opposite sex.

Ironically, most women can see through that brand of disingenuousness and are repelled by it, whether they consciously realise it or not is another subject.

Self-confessed atheist , self-appointed arbiter of the content it will lay bare his true motives .

I really hope not. But from reading his tweets, it's seems that he will indeed subtly paint that picture. He's not gonna talk about Sikh principles, etc. He calls his brother an "influential religious leader". And it does indeed seem like that he will use his brother death to progress his career and put his own views forward.

"Jagraj and I clashed strongly over inter-faith marriages being disrupted at Sikh Gurdwaras across Britain. We came to a resolution by the end, when he was really ill from cancer, but it damaged our relationship for several years. In YS&P, I explore why we clashed over it." "

"And then there was our clash, over interfaith marriages, that is also central to the story."

"charismatic figure who made a name for himself through the internet (a bit like his brother)" 

This dude is gonna subtly paint sikhi in a negative way. Maybe I am reading too into it. What you guys think?

Journalist Sunny Hundal explores the legacy of his late brother Jagraj Singh, the most popular Sikh leader of modern Britain, who sparked an unprecedented revival of young people returning to the faith.

I think that Sunny is upset that Sikhs are becoming Sikhs. To fit in, he became a coconut. Such people think that there's no way to live as a Sikh in the 21st century. Therefore, just don't.

But when they see other people, especially young people, living as Sikhs, it bothers them because it exposes them as just lazy and weak.

So they lash out.

And I'm beginning to suspect Hundal has latched onto his brother's untimely passing as currency to advance his own career and ideals. If that's actually true, then he's a terrible human being.

Oh, definitely he's a terrible human being.

It's amazing that he feels the need to bring in the fact that he was the brother of Jugraj Singh. 

Is that his only claim to fame? Can't he just stand on his own merits, if any?

I might have a modicum of respect if he had engaged in open, public debates with his brother while he was alive and well. 

Instead, he gets his digs in when Jagraj Singh can't defend himself or our religion from Sunny's denigrations of our faith.

The BBC page says: "In a bid to understand why his own brother became so religious Sunny also spends time with his family, and, for the first time, visits a Sikh camp."

So, now that Jagraj Singh dead, now this loser Sunny wants to understand why Jagraj became religious? What a fool. Why didn't he simply ask his brother when he was alive?

Also, notice how he subtly insults him by saying not just "religious", but "so religious". As if Jagraj is in danger of exploding a bomb at any time.

One word he certainly won't use is spiritual, because to Sunny Sikhism is just a serious of stupid meaningless rules. No one would ever follow such crazy rules unless they themselves were crazy.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
