Sikhs follow baba’s

Black magic has riddled the Sikh community for decades. No matter what, people are turning to these con artist for advise guidance and a little magic to help resolve all their worldly issues

If your car does not start it must be your past life’s ‘karam’ – wake up it’s a vehicle and sometimes they do brake down. But instead of calling a mechanic they decide to go to the nearest baba, splattered in all the Punjabi newspapers or echoing on the radio adverts.

These babas charge vast amounts of money and lure their victims to part with their hard earned cash, but the ironical part is that often they do manage to resolve some of the issue, even though it may be temporary.

Well their days may be numbered as now, authorities in the east Midlands town of Leicester, better known as 'Little India', have announced a campaign against such 'babas' and 'tantriks', most of whom have origins in the Indian sub-continent.

Deputy Mayor Manjula Sood said: "I have heard of people being asked for 500 pounds and more for prayers or talismans. They think a curse will be placed on them if they refuse. One recently came to Leicester and took a room at a hotel where she charged clients 500 pounds for 10-minute sessions."

Resham Singh Sandhu, chairman of the Sikh Welfare and Cultural Society, said the Sikh community was lobbying newspapers to stop publishing advertisements from such people.
