Well, Sirji this video looked more appalling and despicable to me than the actual state of the community shown. The creator is oblivious to other "human beings" living in similar condition next to these "special community people" (I belong to it as well , btw). Also, in all this misery, poverty , illiteracy and disease , we don't miss the fact that how important it is to worship according the orthodox and traditional ways prescribed ?!! Pray someone tell me how this video helps the "community"?

@parampreetjudge : This is actual video footage hence whatever you see are facts. About other next door communities- I was oblivious to even this community living in such conditions. This video helped the community in following ways -Education is being provided to 205 children of the area (people from USA, UK, Thailand, India & Australia have sponsored). A 2 day medical camp was organised by a team of doctors from USA. Gurudwara Sahib in the area was totally renovated where also go & learn path

I am saddened to hear of this, but DO NOT discriminate based on their religion.

I am a Sikh, however you must help all people who need help regardless of their religion!!!

This happens to a lot of people please don't discriminate this is against our religion!!!

Guru Gobind Singh Jee Maharaj said very clearly "Jab Eh Gaye Bipran Kee Reet, Mai Na Karaon in Kee Prateet". When Sikhs all over the world started to cut their hair, shave their beards, drink alcohol (Delhi Sikhs are no less in this regard), dance wildly at parties, practice Hindu rituals (like India's prime minister), what do you expect? When people like Bhai Vir Singh and Sardar Jassa Singh Ahluwalia were "in charge" of running Sikh affairs, there was no such plight of Sikhs anywhere.

@zeenatv There aren't many Gods to choose from like you said then where does any god they like come from. When sikhs bow their head in front of Guru Granth Sahib, they not only respect 6 gurus bani but also, amritbani of 11 hindu saints from different castes.

i live in Australia born in rural part of punjab, and since the day I was born I was being told to come up as doctor, engineer and later not less than computer programmer BUT never as a electrician, plumber, labourer or the jobs which are considered menial (that is sick mentality). And today I am working with Australians, British and Americans and they have the highest respect and higest paid jobs here. So BRING A CULTURE OF LABOR AND AVERAGE WAGE. Indian race was better when whites ruled india.

Bhaji, who is the councilor of the Area?

Did you meet him?

Let us help them but not before humiliating people who are responsible for them and have chosen to neglect.

Feel like spitting on the face of Manmohan Singh!

I reckon the government has failed these people miserabley over a few generations. Possibly maliciously on purpose. Brahminsim is in there too so it stinks of some dark forces keeping these people backwards. To only go backwards. Regardless.
