Slumdog Sikhs

I received this letter from IHRO today. Please read the letter and watch the video. Before going any farther, let me say I know nothing of this particular group. They seem legitimate. I do know that the conditions that our sister and brother Sikhs are living in are disgusting. I also know that we are, on the whole, a wealthy community and have the resources to alleviate these subhuman conditions.

Beyond that...idols in the Gurudwara Sahib? A lizard running across Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji? What they state at the end is absolutely true. Moist eyes will accomplish nothing. Action must be taken. I leave it to you, my dear ones to choose what action you will or won't take.

The letter:

A study, conducted by SHS representatives, on Sikhs living in Delhi’s Sultanpuri Area has found that nearly 100% per cent of Sikhs of the area live here in sub-human conditions.
The plight of Sikhs of the area is presented through this documentary. Kindly visit the link below. Your suggestions are welcome. For any details contact info@sikhbusinesspages.com

  1. Dear All,

    WJKK, WJKF

    I am Gurpreet Singh who produced Slumdog Sikhs. Pls visit youtube again and see what we achieved in 21 days since we discovered the plight of Sikhs in the area. We discovered the plight of Sikhs on 31st May 09 and on 21st June we started reconstruction of Gurudwara Sahib and sponsored education of 110 kids from the area. We work very closely with
    NGOs like Nishkam, Sukrit, Guru Gobind Singh Study Circle, Satnam Trust etc. I have included photographs of the event on youtube- pls watch and suggest/ advise on how we can help these Sikhs.

  2. Dear Gurpreet Singh Ji - CONGRATULATIONS!! Getting Sikhs to actually do something is a great accomplishment! I will certainly visit Youtube and take a look. An address link would be most helpful.

    It sounds that you are doing a great sewa and are much to be appreciated.

    My sisters, the widows of the Delhi Pogrom of 1984, are now entering old age and need help. Should you have the time/energy/funds, please help them, as well.
