Sikh Siyasat’s host Baljeet Singh conducted a discussion with prominent sikh thinker Sr. Ajmer Singh from Chandigarh and Sr. Harkanwal Singh from Surrey, Canada, regarding the principled legitimacy of the controversial movie ‘Nanak Shah Fakir’ in the light of Sikh philosophy.
Volatile and widespread developments took place after that discussion. Strong support and vehement opposition poured in from different sections along with some thought provoking as well as cynical questions to both the participants. A follow up discussion was conducted by host Baljeet Singh in which he confronted both Sr. Ajmer Singh and Sr. Harkanwal Singh with some tough questions on this burning issue.
Watch how both the thinkers, seasoned Sr. Ajmer Singh and young Harkanwal Singh took the questioning head on, vividly explaining the essence of their argument and its immortal frame of reference in comparison to the unethical and self-coerced reliance of the ‘Opposition’ on the materialistically oriented, intellectually corrupt and spiritually devastated pressures of the ‘West.’
They also clarified some genuine confusions coming from Sikh masses as well as addressed opposing viewpoints of certain social and academic figures such as Prof. I J Singh, Sr. Kanwar Sandhu and Mr. Sidhu Damdami, challenging their opinions with the rationale of Sikh philosophy and history, thus laying this controversial matter to rest for once and all.

Dear S. Baljeet Singh, Presenter Sikh Siyasat,
  Thank you very much for sharing this lengthy discussion.
For the last several years, various films have been produced by conveying the Sikh themes but there has been no change. In fact, majority of the Sikh Youth has become victims of apostasy including habitual of drugs and resorting to easy life by selling their agriculture land and properties.
No Film has elevated any Sikh. During 1469 to 1939, there were no films but still our elders were more steadfast in practicing the basic tenets of Sikh religion. We should not view such films, but read, recite, understand and practice “Shabd Guru as enshrined in the Guru Granth Sahib up to Mundavani at pages 1 to 1429”. Let us not imitate others.
