We are such a ridiculous society - taking everything personally. Portraying sikhs, muslims, hindus in the politically or should I say 'religiously' correct is now the slogan.
What a farce!!!....
If you are spiritual or religious what does it matter who says what...
Just like to add, when the film 'De Vinci Code' came out, it was debated many times in the media throughout the western world.... but it was in India that the Christians that came out publicly to protest and burned effigies... this is how mad we are culturally...

are you aware that the surname Singh was orignally a Rajput Hindu name, until it got adopted by Sikhism as a middle name. So there is a difference between looking like a Singh and a Sikh. |

Warriors of truth is right..
no point nit picking on the whole Singh and sikh thing..
its obvious he isnt trrying to be a rajput hindu...
the point i think the thread owner is making is that this is just one of many in a long line of films where Singh's or Sikhs for u DDon are being portrayed as comedians or dumbasses...
but i'll reserve judgement until the film is out.. |

I dont know about Hindu rajputs, but for a Sikh to get the name Singh he must offer his head to Guru ji and if blessed he will receive amrit, only then is he given the name Singh.
Singh has never been a middle name for a Sikh, this is a big misconception!
and finally which Sikh actors are you talking about? The ones i've seen being portrayed are pretending to be a sikh e.g Akshay Kumar, Sunny deol etc.
Bottom line is the film will show potential Singhs that being clean shaven is cool, theres no need to keep your beard because look the cool Akshaye Kumar is doing it and he gets the ladies and beats up the bad guys, unfortunately Panjabis fall for this crap!
A singh is only a King if he keeps his kesh and Singh who keeps his kesh would rather die than let one hair be cut or removed. |

singh is also common middlename of Uttar Pradesh jats,Panjabi jats since ancient times Ddon because both jatts and rajputs are related because of the schythian connection.
However the point is how sikhs are portrayed in Bollywood movies. If u google the movie name you will find he plays a role of a sikh Sardar. Akshay Kumar should known much better because of his background from Khalsa college Amritsar. |

this notion of sikhs as dumb in bollywood is shared only by those insecure fools.
Sikhs are often portrayed as happy comedian types or macho types.
Bachchan has played some hard Sikh roles, Sunny Deol who gets mocked by some Sikhs does give Sikhs a fantastic image too.
Lets wait until this film is out with regards Sikh turban and state of facial skin and connection.
Most Sikhs are actually clean shaven de-turbaned, can people agree to this? Also, these Sikhs are proud and try to fulfill what it means to be a Sikh. Turban is seen as ceremonial. (I know tonnes of Sikhs, come from West London and been brought up with this community)
Singh is a classic 'Indian' name, Singh is derived from Sanskrit origin meaning "lion". ... The appellation of the name Singh was used by the Rajputs before being adopted by the Sikhs.

It is very very annoying that Bollywood will insist usually that a bearded turbanned sikh has to be some Daler Mehndhi joker.
There is also of course an idea that casting a 'proper' full Sikh as a movie hero is uncool.
Punjabi movies are guilty of the same thing.
This is one of the reasons that young Sikhs feel insecure and feel compelled to cut their hair. |

Kaalia, why do you talk about things you have no idea about!?
Sunny Deols 'Sikh' characters are more Hindu in character than Sikh, ive not seen one movie of his which makes me think, im proud hes played a sikh role there.
Gadar is a typical example of this. Jo bole so nihaal is absolutely offensive for a sikh, prancing around the streets singing with half dressed women, the Sikh war cry.
Turban is seen as ceremonial? What are you on about? Stop bringing your thoughts about what you think Sikhi, when it is clearly written down.
"Most Sikhs are actually clean shaven de-turbaned, can people agree to this?" - What a contradiction in terms! |

The title Singh for sikhs (not rajputs) comes at a very high price. You have to place your head on your pams and offer it to the Guru in exchange for amrit and the title singh (or kaur if female).
Lets put it this way. Guru Gobind Singh, had to be baptised (take amrit), before he assumed the name Singh, as he was Gobind Rai prior to that.
The film industry needs to realise that giving the image of a singh as a bloke with a slip on turban and then a designer beard, and then trying to pass him off as a Sikh Singh is taking the piss. |

Warriors of truth are you saying a shaven Sikh is not really a true Sikh/Singh?
Thats akin to many mad mullahs who call Muslims they dont agree agree with 'kaffirs'.
Given they are treated like second class citezens in their own country I don't understand why Sikhs are so quick to stand up and fight and die for their hindoo masters as they have done countless times......I guess its a bit like the treatorous sikhs who served their white masters the brits in the times of the raj.

lol sufi do some research mate..even the general of the indian army at the time said it was one of his hardest battles..because the singhs were relentless...
they had to get 4 tanks and countless soldiers to take out one singh and his few followers...
is that really a whipping?
and well the lankans killed rajiv gandhi right? and correct me if im wrong but lankans are muslim/christian yeh?
the sikhs got rid of direct targets...beant singh, indira gandhi etc..Bhindranwala wasnt a terrorist...the singhs took out the people that needed to be taken out..they didnt bomb a tower full of innocent people...nor did they blow themselves up in shopping malls...
'one mans freedom fighter is anothers mans terrorist'
well for me bhindranwale was a freedom fighter..if he still was about there would be many, many more proper Singhs about...his teaching's and speeches had such a major effect on people...people were taking amrit in their thousands..and to this day his foto is in nearly all gurdwareh and many sikh households such was the effect he had.
k4sh the mad mullahs twist things..
becoming a singh or being one isnt twisted...its quite straight forward..read up on the creation of the khalsa...
how can a clean shaven sikh be a real sikh? its impossible!
a mona can follow sikhi yeh fair enuff..it may be the religion you most relate to(liek me)..but until u take Amrit and keep the 5k's and read and understand the SGGS you will never truely be a proper Sikh!!
can a hindu be a proper hindu if he eats a big Mac for lunch and never prays? can a muslim be a proper muslim if he eats a hot dogs and doesnt take part in ramadam?
i think bollywood is confusing being panjabi and Sikhi, or maybe we are?
btw i wasnt having a go at muslims or anything just stating an argument against Singhs being fat jollly dalear mehndis. |

Kash - I think your question was answered by Hugh and teri_sas about the trim beadr and being a 'true' sikh.
Yes some Sikhs did get on and fight WITH and for the British, but the majority rebelled and a lot of the ones who were initially with the British, rebelled once they saw how Indians were being treated. The list against is longer than the list that were with my friend. Let me remind you, it was the Dogras (not Sikh) that back stabbed the Sikh raj and let the British rule. Going off the point now.
Bottom line is, if Bollywood wants a Sikh/Singh character why dont they get a real one? Why because they know a Gursikh will not play there pathetic roles, a gursikh is a hero every second of every day, he doesnt need to play one for a 2 hour nonsense musical!

the bus killings had nothing to do with Bhindranwale, their names were used and shouted in the bus to make ppl think it was him..
ask yourself, would u use ur real names if u was carrying out the killings? thats liek going into a bank without a balaclava and robbing it..
government agencies were behind it all..its obvious (it may sound unreal, but this is india we're talking about) & i certainly wouldnt back anyone who killed innocent people..never and i a have read in to both sides of the arugument..ive spoken to so many people and read so many books just becuase if i'm ever questioned i have an answer, and at the same time my doubts and questions have been answered.
my sources are people who actually were there in 84 or resided with Bhindranwale. theres a guy in bedford who actually fought and survived in 84...one of the shaheeds took a bullet for him. ive seen videos of the ISI training khalistanis amongst other things..
the only dude left that needs to be killed is KPS gill the prick!
thats a diffo story thou!..i dunno if i can carry on with this debate! there is so many arguments and viewpoints that have been discussed and re-discussed..its long! |

kaalia and ddon: you both seem to have this misunderstanding that being a sikh is about donning the turban now and again, trimming your beard for the ladies. I don't think people like that can be called sikhs. Lets see what Guru Gobind singh Ji said on the matter:
Khalsa Mero Roop hai Khaas
The Khalsa will be my own image.
Does Akshay really look like the image of Guru Gobind Singh Ji?
Pretty straight forward to me. This means jokers trimming their beards are not Khalsa (Khalsa = Sikh).
These people are probably more like sehajdhaari punjabis, more than anything else.
I'd rather have a better quality of adherent, rather than quantity. And i'm sure Gurbani would agree with that too.

Why not just change the name of the film? If hes a spy, why not disguise yourself in something else, how ironic is it that, Sikhs wear there k's to stand out and by what you have just described this film as it sounds like hes wearing it as a disguise, what a joke!
Its also sad that we call 'sikhs' like this sehajdhaari, which actually back in the day you would call someone a sheajdhaari who has reached that ultimate state of bliss and peace (sehaj). |

So maybe the film makers are looking at the current times where most youth do trim there beards and they are taking this on board to reflect the current situation, I have heard this to be known as "kenchi cut singh". |

so it seems sikhs are just another reflection of south asian affairs, disunity and wide berth of polarising opinions on state of religious direction.
khalistanis v non-khalistanis
clean shaven v turbaned
follow the 5Ks and u r Sikh v not follow all 5Ks strictly but still regard themselves as Sikh
hardcore v relaxed moderate views
This is the problem which is not going to go away when people declare a strict rigid law and system has to be followed in order to be a Sikh or whatever religion. I say this is exactly this type of rigid narrow mindedness which leads to people becoming lost from the essential Truth is One and Universal Brotherhood message which those that know 'Dharma' in Eastern/Vedic philosophy understand and follow.

Kaalia 81 - You are talking about what the Gurujis taught (brotherhood, universal love). So are you saying we should pick an choose what we believe and what works best for our daily life?
Do not try to see it as a law or rigid narrow mindedness, see it as love. I dont see Sikhi as a religion, for me its a relationship with Guruji, we have all got to ask how strong is our relationship with Guruji, are we far or close to Satguru? If you want to play this game of love, bring your head on your palm......
Im not against anyone, im just telling you what I think a Sikh is and im getting my opinion from what I have read in Guruji.
It might be a good idea if a Singh who trims his beard comes on and tells us how he feels, what he thinks he is.
I used to be a trim 'Singh', but I never followed Gurujis teachings, I had love for the history, but never applied the philosophy or teachings to my daily life and then one day things changed. |

i personaly think that this movie is just showing reality. there are alot of Sikhs out there that wear turbans but shave aswell.
whats the point in these people wearing turbans if they are going to shave. thats why i dont get people who do half measures. if you dont want to wear a turban then dont wear it.
ill be honest it just doesnt look right without the beard.
you should look like a warrior Sikh not a cat thats groomed ect.
also i dont think this movies has some hidden agenda. movies are all about making money.
and directors will be relunctant to make a movie of a full beardered sikh. and then see him get up to all kinds of dodgy stuff.
thats why i think he's shaved.

Can you expand?
I used to get extremely annoyed (well still do to a certain extent) at the Sikh stereotypes in Bollywood but I've learned the more fuss you cause the more publicity and thus revenue you give to the film makers. So now I just don't watch the movie or buy the soundtrack.
Look at 'Jo Bole So Nehal' - an average movie at best but given truck loads of publicity by the protest and ended up doing rather well at the cinema.
Bollywood has always played up to silly stereotypes....in the 70/80s every criminal or rapist was called johhny, tony, mr de souza etc. And more recently its the Gujus who have become the buck of the joke.
Some people seem to think its a well orchestrated plan/conspiracy to deliberately distort Sikhism and Sikh culture....this kind of thinking is no different to quacks in this country who think a zionist run media are out to get muslims.

Interesting, personal view is that there was a time when every sikh was a khalsa!
Unfortunately things have changed and there is hardly anyone left that is worth being called a Khalsa, Sikhs have adopted a 'you can be a sikh without receiving amrit' attitude.
But what does Guruji say about what a Sikh is? Well theres lots of shabads in Guruji explainging this, but the first most important rule a Sikh must do is obey Gurujis Hukam! Now how many do that? When people say you had to grow hair in those days, you had to take amrit then, its different now! But the true guru is the truth, he wasnt just truth back then he is the truth now and will be forever.
The following link explains it for me

So for me there is no difference between a sikh and a khalsa. |

I think you're living in dreamland if you think that.
You're living in dreamland or your definition of being Sikh is so small that you run the risk of turning Sikhi some sort of exclusive religion.

I can assure you im not living in a dreamland, im reading what Guruji is calling a sikh! Sikh means disciple someone who wants to follow the guruji, how can you pick and choose what you follow from your master? Would a master want such a disciple? Remember the blessing of amrit started from Guru Nanak Devji, there were Khalsa roop in his time also, all the Sikhs that took amrit from Guru Nanak Devji were Khalsa! Only the method of giving amrit has changed.
Its a shame people like you have started to dilute sikhi to some flimsy wishy washy faith! |

Hindus with nothing better to do make a song and dance about bollywood being anti-hindu; muslims with nothing better to do make a song and dance about bollywood being anti-muslim; Sikhs with nothing better to do make a song and dance about bollwood being anti-sikh.
Its the parsees and budhists i feel sorry for - they must be feeling ignored. |

oh it looks like salman is next to play a sardar - another blatant attempt to have a dig and disrespect sikhi :(

oh come on, you honestly think they are doing this to have a go at sikhi, atleast Salam looks fairly like a sikh compared to Akhshay. |

clearly there is some sort of issue with those in charge of the golden temple to let them film in the holy place. |

ffs these religious types sure like to moan and play the victim.
No one owns the name Singh or the turban and both were around wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy before guru Nanak Dev had even stepped on this earth (and for that matter the cross was around way before Jesus so who cares what salman is wearing).
And even if this is disrespect I'm sure your god is big and man enough to take it on the chin and remain un offended or if hes really pissed off and feels the need to vent maybe he can send a bolt of lightning down to deal with the 'offenders'. |

Yeh WOW!!!!!!!!! more of Ekta Kapoor on the box, verrrrrrrrrry exciting.
Private Indian channels are so boring. They do not create originality in their programming nor are they entertaining. The are mostly copycat programmes created for bullish people Indian audiences are. It has a long way to go to be a trusted, mature industry.
