- A BBC Documentary on Sikhs in Britain 1977 called "Man's Religious Quest", made with Open University.
This video features footage of Sant Baba Puran Singh Ji, Bhai Sahib Bhai Norang Singh Ji, Giani Amolak Singh Ji and other Gursikhs.
I was involved in the making of this documentary in Leeds, UK. It was made by BBC for open university as part of their studies of world religions. It was exciting.
Dalbir Singh Sagoo sir I find the subject of sikhi and how my grandparents functioned and evolved on arriving in this country, their faith must have been their strength in overcoming many difficulties. ...sadly my grandparents passed many yrs ago so these documentaries give me insight x
good documentry
🙏
Beautiful film waheguruji 🙏
😍😊😘😚😙
I didn't find any bad Sikh in my life.
All serious people with a pinch of humour ✌🙏👋😃
Sikh means student or learner..
A true sikh would always stand against injustice.
No Farmers, No Food!

I respect all the religions but I love the Sikh religion. peaceful, strong, and very charitable
Bibi ji s shabd really touched my heart , don't know if she still in this world or not but where ever she is May Waheguru bless her . it was really very golden time when Sikhs came to Britain and struggled lot .
Kuldeep Singh Sadly, she probably is gone as this video was made many years ago
Its a good community I go sometimes to our local temple and always welcome and fantastic food too

I think the same could be said for all Asians that came to Britain in the 50s onwards, including those from the West Indies. All of them were very hardworking and respectful.
interesting the people seem very liberal minded , a great record of Panjabi community in England .

I am watching this in 2021 2:33 am of calgary, canada. It was soo peacefull watching this video. I would love to live in that time if i can ♥️ so much blessed to be a sikh 💕
Okay but why don’t you keep singh in your name as commanded by Guru Gobind Singh?
@@singhjasbeer5216 In Canada middle name is optional. Don't be prejudiced.
@@kuldeepsbhangu Prejudiced? Canada? What logic are u giving.. LOL
Time when everyone went to the gurdwara and as a child it was so wonderful and fun🙏.
Beautiful religion!
It is so rear to see about our sikh community in 1977. Now is 2022. Wah
Miss the old Gurudwara! Panjabi class brings back some memories 😂
The shabhad at the beggining It gave me such a rush. So beautiful! Im truely in anand
Absolutely beautiful...so vintage and awe inspiring...thank you so much for uploading such a gem
I never got to see my grandad ever but i am very proud although my sister saw him satpal rathor 😢😢😢
Those were the days when we were deep rooted to the Sikhi.
Awesome capture of the good old days, and all the challenges for Sikhs, and yet they managed to unite and progress :)
How old were you in 1976? And why do so many Sikhs have the name Singh, what does it mean anyway?
*****
It's usually a middle name, although some people use it as their surname. It means lion.
What beautiful voice of the lady who is singing gurbani
I remember Baba Puran Singh Ji and Bhai Sahib Bhai Naurang Singh Ji very well. Such great people!
Waheguru Ji, I have grown up in England 🙏🙂
Nice to see the culture back in the day! Nowadays how it’s changed with time! 🙏🏽
Seeing the gurdwara that busy is amazing. In the 70s, going to the gurdwara every Sunday was a ritual. These days, there are so many more gurdwaras, many of them almost empty. Busy life and selfishness has taken over now ... so many people I know only go to the gurdwara when there's a wedding or parth.
Or for free eats 😂😂
Very similar to Mosques. They're only full when it's Eid or on a Friday.
Masallah so nice to see a old video ....but very sad to see the old people gone to heaven:(
Replay this on BBC1. This is so old skool of great Sikhs here in the UK. Waheguru, Waheguru bless these people all the way to Sachkhand!!!
Bole Saw Nihaaaal
Saaaat Sri Akaaaaal 🙏🏾
Waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki Fateh
Amazing Kirtan... It's fascinating to hear ragas in shabad Kirtan, lot less these days
Vintage Sikhi! Awe-inspiring!
It’s a beautiful film representing the Sikh faith, it was so interesting to see UK Sikhs from 1977. Of course it’s very different than present days Sikhs.
Amazing footage, what a bygone era

My baba ji was a president ( pardhan ) of b'ham gurdwara in 90s.
we've still got my brothers 1st birthday party on VHS all 3 hrs plus long from 1985! Community centre hired camera and a seperate lamp that was hotter than the sun. Health n safety comes in mind. Damn I was a brat at 8! lol
Superb documentary. Thanks to BBC. God bless.
THANKS BBC. THIS IS GOLD
You all are pride of India
Beautifull video of 1977 sikhs in UK Gurudwara ,but sound quality cld have been better....
If you wish to know about Sikhism in practice then read about the Sikh Khalsa Empire under Maharaja Ranjit Singh. An ideal democratic state , rich , powerful and justice for all humanity without any bias
WAHEGURU JIO JI
What a lovely ending
Very good time and good memories love ❤️ 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Waheguru ji chardi kala vich Rakhen ji 🙏🙏
WE have come a long way - My parents come from Punjab to London in 1957 - I grow as child in the 60xs and we worked hard to put food on the family table and still giving back to the larger British community.
Grow up in the mid 60,s my English friends older cousin decided to marry a Scott's lad... In his family, as I recall were horrified she would marry a Scott's... I at that time could not understand... slowly understand and if any one discriminated against me - I just took it that English discriminated against all Scott, Irish, and Sikhs. I often now laugh about it with my Friend and his family.
i did not understand. what u are trying to say
Waheguru Guru chardicala vich rkhe
Sikh community is such a beautiful and peaceful community 💚
Vaheguru ji 👏 sukh Santi banae rakhe 👏 🙏 🙏
Waheguru...... Waheguru...💖💖💗💓💓
very nice
Wonder if Punjabis that separated in the 47 partition of India/pakistan reunited in England in 60s,70s.

I remember in the 70s it was way different from what is now
Do you think it's better or worse now ?
@@WillScarlet1991 hi yeah I think it’s better now it’s much easier now a day to live rules have changed

Someone must know these people!
Yes!!! I knew many of the these people! My family came from India in 1976, I was only four years old. The Chapeltown Gurudwara was the only in Leeds at that time. So everyone knew everyone in Leeds, it had a real community feel. We lived just off Chapeltown Road on Reginald street, only 5 mins walk from the gurudwara. Not Only did we go every Sunday to the gurudwara, my siblings and I went throughout the week in the evenings too, to learn Punjabi. I spent most of my Childhood there. Many happy memories. I even got married in the Chapeltown gurudwara in 1996, but unfortunately it closed in 1997 and a new Gurudwara was built across the the road from the old one
This is our religion like Christian, jews, why someone has jealousy on Sikhism.
Havnt times changed!

Singh is king!

Cool :D
God bless u 🙏
Was the Sikh Muslim hatred prevalent at that time in uk ?
jaswinders191 The only hatred came from the likes of the NF.
What's the name of the gurdwara?

Are some Sikhs rich? I already know that some Sikhs are poor.
Sikhs are overall wealthy in Punjab, in the uk they are second to the Jewish community in terms of wealth, and the most generous in terms of donations. Wealth is nothing to be proud of but it allows us to give to charity and give choices to children and educate our selves. Langar is not free. But as religious life starts to reduce in influence of everyday life many sikhs are very vain and flaunt there wealth with cars and drink and many other show off things. Many poor people are therefore ashamed of the lack of success and turn to crime and drugs. Gurbani tell us that to work hard and create wealth is important but humbleness must go with it. Wjkk wjkf
mj897 what a beautiful response . Sikhism is a simple humble and gratitude filled religion . It humbled me when I’m with my sikh friends.
They are how you described as humble and soft and charitable. Their so grounded and always look for a simple and just answer to everything.
True ambassador of your religion. ❤️🙏🏻🤲🏼
