BBC Program, Remembrance - The Sikh Story part 1 of 3, first aired on the 9NOV2010.

3:08 - TO Dr. Jeevan Deol, the Khalsa are not a group of MEN, the Khalsa is A GROUP OF MEN AND WOMEN. Women will always be equal to men, especially in the KHALSA.

Sikhs have such a rich history.

Rarely hear about Sikhs kicking off, I have once. They seem to integrate a lot better than other groups on average.

Sikh's are selfless, civil, and devoted human beings.

The reason Sikh's were successful in wars was due to our strong belief in our religion which influenced our spirit and intellectualism. Anyone is able to pick up a sword, but by being Sikh, our minds were one with our body and soul. We became true saint soliders, fearless and brave.

Sikh pride for life! Proud to be a Sikh!
