A honest review on the Sikh Channel


The Sikh Channel Reviewed By Frontline Punjabi Youth Sevadars

The Sikh Channel is the first channel dedicated to the Sikh Faith. It is totally devoted to Dharmic seva.

Positives:

  • The visuals add to the effect of the Gurbani, helps concentration.

  • The idea of having a channel dedicated 24/7 to Sikhi is amazing.

  • Parchaar can be reached to all of the U.K from one place (that is a powerful tool if used)

Negatives:

· The writing going across the screen giving pump to the people who donated money (this is anti sikhi) as it is all to do with ego. You learn nothing from reading them.

· The protest for bow Gurdwara should have been going across the screen, not a name of a person that gave £10 pound. Waheguru knows all; there is no need to mention who gave money, if someone is giving money to get their name across the screen. They will not reap fruits of their seva as their motive is pump and ego.

· The channel could be more Panthic; it is good to see the dedication to Gurbani. But why not put up details of the bow protest (going across the screen) as that is also for the stakar of Gurbani.

· Instead of the names for pump, Sikhi events and darbars across the country should be going across the screen.

· Sikhi is about miri and piri and I have not seen the panthic side to the channel yet. Like its 25 years since June the information about the rally and documentaries about the Sikh genocide should be playing and all the darbars held in the remembrance of the victims should be going against the screen.
