The Bloom Review was written by Colin Bloom, former head of the Conservative Party faith alliance group, the Conservative Christian Fellowship, and current government faith advisor. His review included approximately 11 pages dedicated to the topic of “Sikh extremism,” which is questionably based on “the power struggle…over who will represent [Sikhs] at official levels” and “extremist fringe ideology within the pro-Khalistan movement.” In comparison, the section on “Hindu Nationalism” was two paragraphs long and included no pull quotes from anecdotal community feedback, contrary to how the Sikh section was treated. The only other group to be tagged with the “extremism” label in the report was Islam. It is important to note that unlike the presence of Hindutva (Hindu Nationalism) ideologies in Leicester's recent and unprecedented violent communal disorder, there are no comparable examples of “Sikh extremism” violence in the UK. It would seem evident that Hindu Nationalism and its threat to UK residents deserves far more scrutiny, especially when compared to the disproportionate attention given to Sikhs in The Bloom Review. One of the biggest concerns regarding the report’s allegations about Sikhs and Sikh community dynamics is the sources cited. This includes referencing Wikipedia on three occasions about Khalistan. Citing Wikipedia is considered inappropriate for serious academic work and is seldom used in reviews like those similar to Bloom’s. Furthermore, Wikipedia has been noted by Sikhs for being inaccurate and biased on Sikh topics, often using, for example, Indian media articles as credible sources in attacking minority communities. India is ranked 150 out of 180 countries for press freedom, just above Russia and Afghanistan, and pro-Indian bodies commonly use disinformation networks to warp information. The review also used two highly criticized reports concerning Sikh activism - the UK Counter-Extremism Government report on Sikh activism (2019) and Canada’s Macdonald-Laurier Institute’s “Khalistan: A Project of Pakistan.” The 2019 UK report on Sikh activism was authored by journalist Sunny Hundal and Dr. Jagbir Jhutti-Johal. Hundal, who has limited engagement in the Sikh grassroots, has previously received criticism from UK Sikh organizations for hyperbolising “Sikh extremism.” Dr. Jagbir Jhutti-Johal met with Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh just weeks before the 2019 report was released. Captain Amarinder has long been a fanatical voice against Sikh activism, underlined by his accusations towards Canada’s Sikh Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan. Amarinder has also supported the arbitrary incarceration of British Sikh political prisoner Jagtar Singh Johal, labelling the Scot “guilty” at a press conference before any trial began. The duo’s report was taken down by the government within 24 hours of its release before being amended and re-released. Bloom did not mention this in referencing the report. The other report referenced by Bloom was written by Terry Milewski, a now-retired journalist most known for his racist titled “Samosa Politics” documentary on Canadian-Sikh political engagement in Canada. Milewski’s report was published by the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, an organization that also promotes trade between India and Canada....... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kind of government crap against Sikhs is nothing knew, they've been obfuscating the grooming issue for decades. Plus when they start doing this, it's because they are concerned that we are getting united over an issue they'd rather hide away and let fester and grow. In the end it will blow up in their boothas because it'll just be yet more evidence we can show our community (especially females) of how determined the white establishment is to harm us using their proxies. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good debate, and it's great to see people seeing this underhand and cheap attack on us for what it is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premi Posted July 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 https://sikhsiyasat.net/sikh-lawyers-bloom-review-not-independent-and-fundamentally-flawed/ Sikh News » World News Sikh Lawyers: Bloom Review Not Independent And Fundamentally Flawed July 20, 2023 | By Sikh Siyasat Bureau London: Sikhs in Law earlier today presented their 28-page report on the Bloom Review at the House of Lords. They have concluded the Bloom Review represents nothing more than the personal views of Colin Bloom who is not independent given his active role in the Conservative Party and strongly held religious views as a devout Christian. His references to subversive and extremist activities by Sikhs make absolutely no sense, reveal his bias and are backed up by zero evidence. It is obvious he does not understand these terms from a UK government perspective as Sikhs present no threat. Colin Bloom has demonstrated he lacks the very ‘faith literacy’ which he recommends those in government should possess by failing to understand the Sikh faith focuses on a ‘way of life’ with an emphasis on practices and traditions. The Sikhs in Law report states the Bloom Review is fundamentally flawed both in its methodology and in its outcome with respect to the Sikh community. Preet Kaur Gill as Chair of the APPG for British Sikhs raised a series of Parliamentary Questions on 6 July about the Bloom Review and the response from the Minister on 14 July confirms the way Colin Bloom conducted the review and reached his conclusions was much to be desired. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote https://www.sikhpa.com/uk-counter-extremism-forced-to-retract-report-on-sikh-activism-amid-complaints/ The Sikh Federation UK said in a press release that their complaints were based on ‘serious concerns including that the report and authors are biased, the report lacks credibility and most disturbingly the authors make judgements about Sikh organisations and named individuals without the organisations and individuals being consulted or given the right to reply.’ The reports authors are Sunny Hundal and Dr Jagbir Jhutti-Johal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
