Not ALL of them. My father abused me, my mother, my sister and my brother for 20 years 1968 to 1988 and then brought vindictive cases against us claiming it was the other way around. His name is Ranbir Singh Wassi. The met police have spent 5 years so-called investigating and now say that despite corroborating evidence they "won't bring to court an old man with significant health difficulties". Always remember there are some Sikhs hiding behind their turbans because of the attitude people like you have - that anyone wearing a turban and purporting to be a Sikh is a fundamentally decent and good person. NOT TRUE!!

@J. M. Nope I'm a Sikh by birth. I stated my experience of living with a sick (psychopath) Sikh father. I stand by the view that just the wearing of a turban does not make you a decent and respectworthy person. I see the Sikh k's as a uniform. Anyone who wears a uniform (like police) seem to expect respect and they mostly get it. That's because of people's undistinguishing respect to the uniform. Just as all police don't deserve respect neither do any others wearing uniforms. Respect is to be earned not demanded by dint of uniform or rank.

I would add my father never even respected MY long hair. He pulled it ferociously, poured a pan of milk over my top knot and lifted me bodily off the floor by my topknot. He was therefore worse than the gang of skinheads who knocked my turban off and had a game of football with it.

The Sikh community is a credit to Smethwick, the West Midlands, and indeed the world. As a white person I have attended the Vaisakhi celebrations in Handsworth Park many times in the last 20 plus years. They are wonderful people and they deserve total respect.

I love Sikhs, I wish I am one in my next life, despite the brabarity of the afgans, Mughals, british and congress, the Sikhs are still strong and proud, resilent.

Things have changed a lot. I come from a middle-class family in Punjab, India. Growing up, my dad put a huge emphasis on education and set me up for success. Because of that, when I moved to Canada in 2018, I had smooth sailing. With the advent of the internet and modern media, the world is a smaller place; people get to know about other cultures. The immigrants in the 20th century laid the foundation for people like me. As my community is well established and well understood in the western world, I haven't faced a single incident of racism. For that, I am grateful.

Wonderful documentary!

The BBC always gets Us to make documentaries about our own, showing how oppressive and backwards our people were and how 'modern' they have become with western ideals. Take a min and think about that. Our elders had qualities that are now lost. Their hard work, dedication and commitment to family made us what we are today. Their 'arrange' marriages have a higher success rate than todays love marriages that last on average 3 months. To day we have no value for their hard work and can only comment on their short coming from our comfortable lives. No where more is this shown than in our weddings. We blow 30 - 40 years of their savings in a few days on our 'love' marriages only to get separated down the line. Hor Goreah Bunno.

it is definitely an eye opening documentary. Early migration also has a dark side to it and this managed to show the struggle the migrants had. On the other side, I liked the life story of Balvir Singh, what a happy soul he is. I ended up listening to his old music. I really liked the way the whole documentary is composed. Keep it up mate.

Stories are what define us: our forefathers who paved the way in the New World-whether that’s was Africa, Old England or the Americas-their tenacity, forbearance to adversity, steadfast focus to ensure the subsequent generations flourished in their adopted lands, we ought to cherish & celebrate. These old traditions in their present form complete an arc of its narrative in its old form to its new, over each generation-everything evolves to adapt, otherwise you become stagnant & irrelevant.

This was intersting to watch 👍🏻

A documentary well said cataloguing the migrant journey well into 2 or 3 generations.. Something that seems common nowadays due to the ease of travel but definitely an eye opener about the struggles our ancestors

@@dextertech556 May be you are right. But I think being a amritdhari Sikh in today's era isn't a burden or struggle. It's gives us a unique identity. It's the duty of each and every Sikh to follow Sikh Rehat Maryada.I am also a amritdhari Sikh and I don't feel any burden. The problem is with the parents of today's generation.Today's parents especially Sikh Parents don't teach their children Sikh values in their childhood just like Muslims do.The reason(s) for that I think is one of the following:- 1.They just want their children to earn more and more money and speak English and go to foreign country. They themselves don't want their children to get Gurmat Education. 2.They are afraid that if there will be a bad situation or we can say a panthic struggle like in1980's ,their sons will get killed by security forces in fake encounters because of their unique identity or their sons will pick up weapons agianst the tyrants.That's why they want to keep their children away from Sikhism. 3.If parents themselves do things like drinking,trimming,etc which is agianst Sikh values then it is clear that they are not providing a good religious environment to their children.So some children become victim and some become survivor. And apart from this,another reason is Punjabi Music industry.They mostly show alcoholism, vulgarity in their songs and most of them have trimmed beard or cut hair.They always try to show prohibited things in Sikhi in a good way.

This came up on my suggestions I don’t know why lol but I’m glad I watched this documentary and learnt a lot about the Sikh community of Birmingham. Sikhs went through hardship just like the Bengalis of the East End but in terms of racism endured I would say Bengalis suffered more at the hands of English working class, in Birmingham the Sikhs dominated the areas and the whites moved out, in the east end we lived amongst and they gave us grief from 70s till early 90s but then the 2nd generation British born stood up to the English racists and that’s when they began gradually moving out of the east end because they feared the uprising of the Bengalis just like how they feared the Afro Caribbean uprising in Notting Hill in 1958 against the racists and the Teddy boys. Every ethnic minority community has come far today. The racists now play divide and conquer with us by praising Sikhs and demonising another minority even though in the past they didn’t differentiate between Sikhs, Muslims, Hindus and Afro Caribbean people.

Asians had great difficulty 60s 70s when Skinheads NF were around. Fought them off. Every young generation should watch and appreciate what our elderly had to go throw. The part I felt sad in this documentary was when thee elderly said our next generations will forget and leave our culture😥

Two factors are the game changers for an immigrant from a non English speaking country to the UK/US/Canada/Australia/New Zealand. University education & a reasonable knowledge of English. An immigrant who has these two in the bag wouldn't have to struggle much. Unfortunately the punjabi emigrants from India did not possess these in the 60s/70s.
