Filton College Bristol – Sikhs on campus : The way of the soldier saints


Sikh chaplain Javinder Singh and his ‘victim’

Sikhs on campus is an introduction to and celebration of the Sikh faith. The event was held for the second time at the Filton Campus on Tuesday 24th April 2012 at 12:25 – 13:10, in the campus’ Studio Theatre.

Sikhs on campus was presented in three parts: ‘Kirtan’, ‘Gatka’ and ‘Langar’.

The presentation, led jointly by Javinder Singh (College Sikh Chaplain) and Harjinder Singh (‘The Man in Blue’), was attended by about 60 students, staff and guests.

The chaplaincy team is particularly grateful to Harjinder, an internationally recognised Sikh scholar and one-time Sikh Chaplain at Heathrow Airport, for travelling from his home in Belgium to be with us for this event.

Visitors to the event were able to try on a turban, inspect a display of Sikh religious artefacts, obtain explanatory literature and to familiarise themselves with the 5Ks.

You Tube – Afghan Sikhs protesting because of issues with performing the last rites of their dead ones in Kabul

The locals close to Cremation Ground (Shamshan Ghat) in Kabul won’t let them burn their dead in heavily concentrated urban areas; due to the odour burning flesh creates.

In this report it is shown that, under Police protection and Administrative Authority, Sikhs eventually managed to cremate the dead person, however the problem still persists.

Sikhs and Hindus along with their representatives and Afghan civilian government have yet to find a permanent solution to this pressing problem.

Watch this report in Dari & Pashtoon TV station of Afghanistan

Harjinder Singh & Miko – Brussel Zuid/Bruxelles Midi

Both Japjeet Kaur and I have run into the nice Hungarian gentleman who runs a shop at the Brussel Zuid / Bruxelles Midi station, near the Eurostar departure hall.

He made a small video of me, in which we are clowning about a bit, but where I say of view serious things to, one them being that French speaking Belgiums are human too.

So have a look, have a smile and look up our friend Miko (who is on holiday in August).

The main university in the region has claimed that 70% of young Punjabi men are hooked on drugs or alcohol.

The problem is at its worst along the border with Pakistan where heroin originating from Afghanistan is smuggled into the country.

The BBC’s Mark Dummett reports from Amritsar.
