LOS ANGELES, California, USA (September 21, 2013)—A bar and pub in the city of Hollywood, near Los Angeles, California has members of the Sikh community outraged.  Pictures from the bar have been found to display depictions of the Sikh Gurus throughout the bar where alcoholic beverages are served.  Sikhs are members of a peace loving religion founded 500 years ago in Punjab, now located in Northern India.  Consumption of alcoholic beverages is forbidden in the Sikh religion.
Sikhs have alleged that such depictions have greatly hurt the sentiments of the Sikh community.  United Sikhs has created a petition to request the owners of the bars to take quick action and remove all pictures and depictions relating to the Sikh Gurus from the bar.  Sikh24 has already contacted the bar and filed a complaint asking for quick action.  United Sikhs, a US based Sikh organization has started a petitionrequesting the bar to ”respectfully take the portraits down and hand them over to the local Gurdwara.”
