The well-organized Gurmat camp, with Veerjis from the SNSM (Malaysia) and youths from Bangkok as well, ensured that one had come to connect, learn, enjoy, and importantly grow to be a good Sikh citizen. Although the camp had a very convenient timeline, there was yet another event that stood a convincing obstacle in the path of this fruitful experience, which was the concert of the famous R&amp;B artist, Akon. It was this fallacious event that created reluctance amongst people that the Gurmat Camp was more imperative. Since many young people chose to attend Akon’s concert over the samelan, our Jatha came up with the brainchild of making a video related to the current situation that needed more attention that one thought. &nbsp;<br /> &nbsp;<br /> I, Chaetan Saheb, as the Jatha leader and director, on behalf of Nidhaan Jatha, hope that you will enjoy it as much as we enjoyed while we enacting it and cherishing it till date.</p>

My name is Harjit Singh. I live in Perth, Western Australia. Being a practicing Sikh living in a western country, I have had the pleasure of explaining my religion to curious people since I could talk and had a little joora! On innumerable occasions of explaining about the Sikh Gurdwara, I have had a common reaction of “REALLY?! You mean ANYONE can come in to your temple/Gurdwara?” This is usually followed by “Is there anything special you have to do to come in?” As my Sikh brothers and sisters know, there are only really two simple rules when going to the Gurdwara.

<p>By presenting the movie “Kivein Bhullaan”, by presenting the movie “Kivein Bhullaan”, we, your children, have made a humble attempt to connect ourselves with the silent and painful struggle of Sikh nation towards justice. </p>
<p>The movie “Kivein Bhullaan” express the pain inflicted on the Sikh nation by the 1984 holocaust. Although the characters shown in this video are not real, they truly represent what the Sikh nation experienced during the genocide. This story is about a Sikh woman named Gian Kaur who experienced both the June attack on the Golden Temple and the anti-Sikh pogroms of November 1984. She lost all of her family except her daughter in law Gurleen when Indira Gandhi ordered the Indian army to attack Akal Takhat and Darbar Sahib. Six months later, in November of 1984, she also lost Gurleen. We are going to present the condition of Gian Kaur’s life after the events of June and November 1984. How she has been affected by the murder of her father, son and grandson in the Harmandar Sahib complex and by the gang-rape and scorching of her daughter-in-law during the November anti-Sikh pogroms, both of which she witnessed with her very eyes.</p>
<p>Although we cannot see any hope, and this night of atrocities and suffering does not seem to end,&nbsp; the our rich heritage built by Guru Sahibs and Sikh ancestors give us the message of Charhdikala and Sarbat Da Bhala (High Spirit and Goodwill of All).</p>

The first segment which I am sending to you know is called Five Thieves. For the purposes of this contest, I may make them into one single film (dependant on what you recommend). But the reason why I have decided to make each one a minute long is because I want it to be a quick grabber where people (who may know nothing about Sikhi) can soak in some information. I have started 2 of the 5. Currently only one is totally finished and that is the one I have uploaded. I read the thing about the prize, and about sending in a quick video to show you. I have been wanting to enter the contest for the last 2 years but last year I was in Germany. I made this video I am sending you now a while back, and is not something that I have roughly put together as you will see when you watch it. </p>
<p>The first of the five videos is called &#8216;Five Thieves&#8217; and is designed to be a informative and useful video. I am also considering doing a videos on the Nirmala Sikhs, Akali Nihangs, and Sewapanthis. I am currently in my final year of university so I am quite busy for the next month, with completing my dissertation. I hope that I will have enough time to complete this project. </p>
<p>I am also a artist and you can see my other works at www.MrMessy.com and ranbassi.deviantart.com</p>
<p>The image which I have attached my ID image from my art website. If you don&#8217;t think its applicable, let me know and I can send you another one.&nbsp;</p>

(SaintSoulja aka Tanmit Singh, and The GodFather aka Gurvinder Singh).</p>
<p>In 2004, France passed a law banning all conspicuous religious symbols worn by students in public schools. Irremovable articles of faith, such as the Sikh turban, were included in the ban. Sikh students had to give up their faith, or give up their education. Many were forced to drop out, in the name of &#8217;secularism.&#8217; Even though Sikh soliders were received as hereos in Marseilles in World War I, the Sikh turban is banned in France.</p>
<p>The following video editorial, in the form of a music video, artistically challenges the current regulations invoked in the French public school system.</p>

<p>Today, language experts from all over the world are disturbed, as out of 6800 languages that existed in the world, only 600 languages would survive in future. This means, on an average, one language dies every 15 days. Whenever a language dies, the culture and religion attached to it also die. Experts are foreseeing that Punjabi language will get eliminated in the coming 50 years. The irony is that ,the grave of Punjabi language is being dug by her own beloved children.</p>
<p> Feeling the suffering of their mother tongue, we the students of Mata Jai Kaur Public School, have made this small film – ‘Teri Mardi Jawe Maa’. With the help of this small effort, we want to wake up all Punjabi fraternity from their slumber. Let us all contribute towards our beloved language and put some effort, so that we can feel proud about our culture and language. Let us teach the future generation to respect and love ‘Punjabi’ and ‘Punjabiyat’.</p>
<p>In this film, at least 50 students of classes V to XII have contributed towards acting as well as other technical aspects of the film. </p>

He comes to the U.S. for higher education which exposes him to a very different environment. He had to leave the comfort of Delhi and live in a place where not many people even know who Sikhs are. He had to face some harassment from the society and gets affected by them. But, by walking on Guru&#8217;s path and using the Power of Seva &amp; Simran, he rebuilds his confidence and starts living in high spirits again as before. </p>

<p>&quot;Guru Nanak, please come back&quot; features a young Sikh boy named Bikram who although a reluctant believer in god has to finally seek his refuge to deal with the frustrations pent up within him owing to the ever increasing human suffering and miseries all around him.</p>

<p>Film by Arpan Singh Jolly<br /> Smriti Sharma<br /> Udit Mendiratta </p>
