The BBC made an two part series on the Sikh faith in 1999. I remember trying to get a DVD copy, but it wasn’t possible since it was just “made for TV.” Fortunately, you can now find the total 90 minute production on Google Video. I love technology.

All TSA Screeners are required to watch this movie before Thanksgiving 2007. It’s been produced by the United States Department of Justice Community Relations Service, and the Sikh American Legal Defense Fund. It does a great job of explaining who Sikhs are, and what to do as a TSA screener or law-enforcement officer interacting with Sikhs. It also provides a great general overview for interested citizens.

UPDATE: 2/6/2007 You can now watch this video at higher quality on the DOJ Site!

Update: 11/30/2007 SALDEF reports that over 60,000 law enforcement officials have watched this video!

Rajbir did a solid job representing the Sikh community on Fox News today. Rajbir, please keep up the good work! See the video below. I’m flying tomorrow. I’ll give you a full report of what happens.

Go Sikh Coalition! There are so many Sikh organizations doing good things. The Sikh Coalition is one organization that is good about getting the word out about its achievements. Check out this YouTube video of Sukhvir Kaur’s case. The EEOC found in her favor. I think this video does a great job of making the larger American Sikh Community aware of what’s available to them. We have rights, and we should exercise them!

CNN has posted a great story on arranged marriage that takes a Sikh wedding as an example. I’ve never been to India, but it seems so familiar. Both the bride and groom have MBAs. I’m not sure how my life is going to play out. This video paints a fairly rosy picture of arranged marriage. Make sure you watch it.
