HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 авг 2024
- Documentary with actor and comedian Sanjeev Kohli, who goes on a personal journey to find out more about the significance of the Sikh turban in Britain today.
Meeting with our team in London, who were doing street parchar (educating) at the time, alongside other Sikhs up and down the country, Sanjeev attempts to understand why Sikhs adorn themselves with the turban and why they, now more than ever, embrace their identity.
With special thanks to:
- the sevadaars (volunteers) who were present in the video
- Sikh Press Association for their support and contribution
- the BBC (British Broadcasting Company) for their deserved merit on producing this insightful documentary.

"I am my Turban,My Turban is Me"
Waheguru! That's so inspiring 🙏
I am a Muslim but love learning about Sikhism, it is such a beautiful religion! I have nothing but respect and love for my fellow Sikh brothers and sisters, you have amazing beliefs and a gorgeous culture; I love watching the local Sikh community celebrate their religious festivals. All Sikhs are amazing!
I am a Sikh and I love Islam
Here is a good insight into the spiritual Sikh concept of God ruclips.net/video/lZKMeUYgIb0/видео.html

@@Godschild77786 God bless your family and always keep you and your family healthy and wealthy. Your first comment made me so happy and brightened my day.
I am friends with the Sikh community and have always respected their religion and traditions, I have great respect for the turban and Sikhs in general even though I am Buddhist myself 🙏🏽
I'm a white British atheist watching this having never really spent any time with the Sikh community. I was overwhelmed with pride that Sikhism is growing and young people are embracing their faith and traditions. Fantastic documentary, thank you for the education.
I Love Sikh culture and people. They are beautiful inside and out. They have valor, courage and pride while still being humble. 🙏🏻⭐️🔥
Humble they are not. Every Sikh I’ve talked to defends that student in the us who had a knife on campus. They seem to think the laws shouldn’t apply to them.
@James Smith my brother that knife they have it.. it to defend himself and anyone that is in danger and it is bent at edge and now is not even sharp enough just to make a small cut 😒
He has the best parents ever. I love their response to the decisions they made with him during his childhood.
proud to be the follower of sikhism.. THE UNIQUE in entire world
Its Sikhi, not Sikhism. :)
+Jo James bro im hindhu.. but when i decide 1st to go to temple at the age of 15 then i went firstly gurduara sahib in my hometown.. gradually i become intrested in knowing about sikhi culture tradion norms etc and also about martydoms history.. then im thankful now that i followed tha UNIQUE one in first time rather changing guru door & making other guru.. really im so lucky one..
Dhanesh Kumar great 👍🏻

extremely inspiring. Totally loved it.
Sikh is the best religion with astounding history of humanity, courage and spirituality combined all togather. Sikh gurus were highest degree of spiritual satguru or Masters. No comparison with any other saint in their time and even before that. The most amazing love that God bestow on people of that time in form of Human form. This is the only organisation with perfect teaching in Indian history.
Waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki Fateh
I’m muslim and ive always loved learning about different religions and this is no different 😊
I know a lot about the Sikhs, how many times I starched the colourful 5 metres cloth, that was a long time ago. Now I am again an Italian lady with many, mixed but affectionate remembering as a married lady to a Sikh man. Satsriakal to all
Love you & miss u jagraj singh ji ❤

My deepest respect to Sanjeev Kohli and to all Sikhs.
Sukhdeep Singh in the end "ah, cha peeni yah" lol brilliant 😂
I thought this was an absulotely wonderful documentary about the turban and an insight into the Sikh faith. People should be proud of their faith and free to express themselves..... Respect to all

We have a community in my city, and the aunties are nice. I don't have friends in the community, but i like the values they have. Its hard when you want to fit in but also keep your culture together.
✊🏽✊🏽 Sanjeev Kohli for doing this documentary, eye opener for many people not just Sikhs, so that people may know the background and heritage behind it. Guru Nanak started Sikhism so that there wouldn’t be diversity and Sikhs would be one ☝🏽 👍🏽🙏🏽
Great video about a very proud people, well done.
it is hard to be a turban sikh outside punjab but good documentary alot of sikh youngsters would be able to relate to this alot of them dont wear turban influenced by western culture and commercial punjabi industry
Bro that's bollox. In UK 40-50pc Sikh males wear a turban
No not hard, I am in delhi
Finally if i ever waited for a channel this is it i hope it don't let me down
I remember seeing this on i player i was gassed for you guys !
Few of my friends are sikhs. They are some of nicest people around and very funny too.
Beautiful people & culture...💓
Beautiful culture: all equal. Beautiful people.
Very nice. Thankyou from a beginner!
Singh was derived from the Sanskrit name for lion.
@Matthew Tenorio_3200654 yes, long ago the culture and religion of india had spread through the world, as it was one of the oldest technological and spiritual hubs of the world.
Very nice documentary. Keep up the good work.
Anyhow love the Turban. It looks very heavy to the head, but looking beautiful with all those pletes and colors.
I noticed that in Kabul the Sikhs were warinf a different turban. Now i know its because they had never been colonial soldiers. From now i will know to call it a Dastar.
Mr Singh, You look an awesome, handsome Sardar Ji in Dastar(Turban).
It’s great to see Sikh in abroad are loyal to their religion .where in Punjab young generation is cutting their hair
Punjabi culture and sikh dharam are too different things

14:13 so difficult with western beauty standards
I was also one of the ones that that had my kesh cut (UK born & bred) when I was 8-9. My Dadi, who was an Amrit Sadharni was so upset she didn’t speak to her son/my dad for 6 months
Tbh I felt I lost my power and it was downhill from then on and have kept my western experience since then, I don’t know what happened or why. I’m slightly stronger now but what would have been … this is my testimony 🙏🏽
You can grow it again if you feel the desire. It's been between you and your connection to the divine energy what other people think and say is not important.
I am Hindu and I love my Sikh Brothers , they are like our guardians always protecting us ... Waheguru Ji Di Khalsa Waheguru ji Di Fateh
Let's see... I have always worn a hat of some kind or a bandana, I wear a beard because I grow one so it's my natural state, I don't like bullies or seeing anyone preyed on, I believe that all God are the same God, I have an affinity for swords... It's like I might be a closet Sikh?
you could say it's a.....sikh-ret identity....
Sikhi is a lot more than that, the main goal is to connect to god, the turban is not a hat btw it has a lot more significance and worth than a hat, the turan. I recommend that you do some research on Sikh History and the Sikh Religion. ruclips.net/video/c78XrBvgBtM/видео.html

A Sikh actually is not growing his hair. They are just keeping it.
People who cut their hair regularly are actually growing their hair continuously, for their whole life.

7:54 definitely in Southall hearing the car horns. They still think they in Punjab 😂😂. ❤
May God bless your mama.
this is great
Wahe Guru ji ka khalsa.
I think the turbun is better now as guys are wearing it less bulky
Appreciated your views but the "turban" not 'turbun' was never bulky.
Master Devoe can’t be sure of intentions as bun is also a sensible word and as far as rigidity is concerned it is not rigidity that is expressing it is the pride behind it that is.
The Guru Granth Sahib opens with the basic concept of the One Universal, supreme Energy called by so many different names across humanity,.
Ik oankar - One absolute being (God)
Satnam - Eternal truth it's name
Karta Purkh - Creator
Nirbau - without fear
Nirvair - without hate/ enmity
Akal Murat - Deathless/timeless image
Ajuni - Beyound birth and death
Saibang - self existant
Gurprasad - known by the Guru's Grace.
This is repeated numerous times and at the start of every section as a constant reminder.
In the words of the tenth Sikh Guru - Guru Gobind Singh "recognise the human race as ONE"
Degh tegh fateh...
I really don't think you should judge a book by it's cover. Just because someone looks holy, it doesn't mean they are. People are people.

My school teachers making me watch this
Really? Why did your school teacher suggest watching this channel/video?
@@Kjas133 idk RE
instead of this you should watch speakers corner videos and street convo videos of this channel they are better
@@singh99928 Good suggestion bro and Happy Vaisakhi
Some people who place a lot of emphasis on turbans forget to realise that these are symbols of your faith and not your faith itself.
yes ofcourse there are some turban sikhs who do contray to sikhism
Good point
🙏🏼
Don't know why this fallacy of joining 'hindu and islamic elements' is propagated so much...Sikhi is distinct and unique, it does not condone to religious dogmas of either faith, nor does it practice any of them, it outright rejects them and tell the follower to connect with God directly...
I remember when l used to wear a turban as a 5 year old in school, l used to have my turban taken from my head by six or more kids more than once. Came home crying with my long hair in a mess. My mum decided to have my hair cut. To this day those times have scarred me.
I’m sorry that happened to you. I grew up in a Canadian city with quite a few Sikhs in my classes. It was such a normal thing to see their turbans and eventually their beards when we reached adolescence. I wish that you’d had people sticking up for you!
@@spacecase7566 The sad thing was that it wasnt so much the white english kids but Pakistani kids. Even in high school the sikh children were always outnumbered by muslim children.
I think you should still contemplate taking legal action.I had similar experience as a child being of Indian origin in Mauritius in secondary school by a french mixed race teacher,even though I am not a Sikh but a Hindu.
I felt obliged to crack on a couple episodes of still game after this
My Turban is a my crown
I can't believe how poor the gatka training is starting from 23:28 It's so shockingly awful, I have seen this akhara perform 10 years ago at Brunel Uni and the it is still so bad, especially seeing some of the performers as teachers now. It's such an embarrassment our panth still doesn't know how to do shastarvidiya, and instead we have to show these awful gatka techniques on national BBC TV, any martial expert can tell how bad it is! @basicsofsikhi Basics of Sikhi what should we do with such poor martial arts training in the panth?
Chill they're just kids 😂 they'll learn more as they grow older
Congrats big be ro

God is all and all is love
Ekonkar means -: there's only one god
Around the 9th minute, he says that Sikhism draws from Hindu and Islam. This is as false as he can get about Sikhi.
The reason his hair was cut, I go through the same, every single day.
Turban is not a religious identity but a cultural identity in punjab (infact of whole india)
How to do sport like rugby as a sikhi? I meant with the idea of wearing a turban.
I wore a patka with a scrum cap over the top. Seemed to work fine
Why he grew
Me being female But Im singh instead on Kaur 🥲
Ive grown up around alot of sikhs and the one thing i have noticed alot is that they dont really like their sikh names and usually change them to english (western) names, Daljit becomes Dave, Sukhbir becomes Steve. The females again have to put up with the worst name, Kaur.
In punjabi and hindi, the word kaur means leprosy.
As for the name singh, it does not mean lion in any indian language, and definately not in the punjabi language. The word singh means horn in hindi urdu and punjabi. the word sher means lion in punjabi, as in the name sher singh. Need i explain any more after sher singh? Where the lion bit came from regarding the name singh, i dont know.
How can you love your culture and identity when you cant even love and accept your traditional names?
As for being warriors, yes i agree and they are real fearless when facing the enemy. VERY brave warriors.
Sing means horn not Singh
Bro u need a doctor
I dont understand why someone who turned his back on Sikhi and mocked Sikhs throughout the documentary has made this??
He must have realised his mistake.
Dharmendra couldn’t be a movie star if he kept his long hair and wear a turban all the time.
But he would have been a true Sikh then, this world is fake, somewhere in his heart he must have regretted.
Nowadays Bollywood is dieing to cast one perticular sardar in their movies.... I mean dhaminder wanted to a part of that cinema so badly he agreed to give away his identity. On the other hand..... 22 sada Bond ni marda Bombay di. U know whom I m referring to.
Basically your sardar bapu, made you a monah and you’re otw back
Get it right up ye Meena!!!!!
. But he didn’t explain why a turban is worn? Is it respect to God, so when he looks down, there’s no no top of the heads showing?
