Sikh Censor Board

[paapiman]

Quote

The Jathedar said in wake of unending controversies over movies made on Sikh religion or showing a Sikh character he would soon announce formation of a Sikh Censor Board, which would include representatives from the SGPC, the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC), Sikh institutes, sects, Sant Samaj and filmmakers.

Bhul chuk maaf

SGPC and Sri Akaal Takth Jathedar dropped the ball on this one.

1 SGPC with 10 members thoroughly analyze this movie back in 2015, provide recommendation, recommendations are applied by director- Harinder Sikka

2. SGPC approves the movies, letter is kept by harinder sikka as reference

3. Akaal Takth Jathedar- Gyani gurbachan singh ji provides letter to sikka congratulating him on his work for Nanak Shah Fakir

4. Fast Fwd to 2018, all of sudden U turns,  ban this movie.

5. He couldn't pull out the movie even if we wants to know as he gave other productions access to run this movie in various states in India and besides this is already been approved by SGPC and akaal takth jathedar in the past.

Future recommendation

1. Instead of involving incompetent fools from SGPC making U turn, flip flops, back peddle which we all thought were scholars who stand by their decision, involve all five takth jathedars in decision making.

2.  They should invest in movie productions,  have their stake in it.

I plan to watch torrent version of this movie, as i don't want to inadvertently support the movie financially but once i deem its appropriate i will buy DVD or something.

Doesn't Five Takth jathedars also speak the language of SGPC? Most of the time (not 100%) these days, the jatherdars are mere persons who have studied religious books without ever tasting the real thing.

In either case, its very hard to find the real Spiritual person who could shed light on these kind of matters. But I think if we encounter a real Spiritual person, then he would most probably ignore these kind of things....just like we sometimes ignore when 2 kids are fighting for the choice of chair with a specific color, but none of them wants to sit on it. In other words, kids have missed the main point: do they want to sit on the chair that they are fighting for?

Now, may be we as an individual consciousness (without depending upon external authority) should decide whether any thing teaches us some good moral values or takes us away from moral values. The life would be much simpler.

Crutches are good way to support the unbalanced walk, but just don't depend on it for the whole life.
