2009 Awards Announced


The 2009 SikhNet Online Youth Film Festival inspired submissions of over 40 films from young filmmakers around the world. The judging process was especially difficult this year because of the quality of the films which, in the opinion of the judging panel, is improving every year.The panel of judges watched every film, most more than once, and marked them all on Creativity (originality,) Message (Was the film inspiring and/or uplifting? Did it communicate the filmmaker's message clearly?) and Technical Execution (videography, editing, post production, etc.) Although there was often a clear first place winner in a category, the race between the second and third place films was often a very close one and the judges enthusiastically debated the merits of the films in contention for those awards. Finally the judges have made their decisions!

CLICK HERE TO SEE THE 2009 SIKHNET FILM FESTIVALWINNERS

All the films may be viewed online at www.SikhNet.com/FilmFestival where you can choose your own favorites as well as leave comments for the young filmmakers.

Hearty congratulations to all the 2009 winners!

Edict against Dera Sacha Sauda : Sikh bodies urge Takht chief to ensure implementation

Neeraj Bagga Tribune News Service

Amritsar, September 29

Sikh religious, political and social organisations have requested Jathedar Akal Takht Gurbachan Singh to ensure that The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) and the Shiromani Akali Dal (Badal) implement edict against Sirsa- based Dera Sacha Sauda ,in Punjab.

The Akali Dal (Panj Pradhani), the Khalsa Action Committee, the Sikh Students Federation, the Dal Khalsa, Khalra Mission Organisation and the Sikhs for Human Rights made this request in a memorandum to the Jathedar here today.

General secretary, Akali Dal (Panch Pardhani) Harpal Singh Cheema said apart from Sikh sangat, the sikh political and religious organisations must be held accountable for implementing Akal Takht edict issued on May 20, 2007 directing all sikhs not to have relations with the Dera Sacha Sauda followers and all Naam Charcha Ghars be removed from Punjab.

He informed the Jathedar assured to take up the demand at the meeting of the Sikh high priests scheduled to be held here on October 1. He claimed the Jathedar also said the present dispensation in the state was not a panthic government but a coalition with the BJP and added a panthic government would only be formed when all Sikh political organisations joined hands.

He said unresolved Dera Sacha Sauda-Sikh issue was causing fissures in the families and rift in society in Malwa in general and Bathinda in particular.

Cheema added they also sought the Sikh families which bore the brunt during the anti-Dera Sacha Sauda campaign must be felicitated.

Convener of the Khalsa Action Committee (KAC), Bhai Mohkam Singh demanded a case under the Illegal Activity Prevention Act against Sanjiv Bhardwaj, Hindu Suraksha Samiti leader for ‘irresponsible’ statement .Bhardwaj had asked from the government to make it clear whether Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale was a terrorist or a sant and announced cash award of Rs 7 lakh to catch Jagtar Singh Hawara, who escaped had from prison.

Are you worried over the fate of Sikhism ?

- due to the rising numbers of trimmers & clean shavers ?
- due to disappearence of turban & appearence of caps ?
- due to non existence of Punjabi speaking kids any more ?
- due to the fashion of tambaku, wine, drugs, bear, brandy, rum ?
- due to abortion of female foetus ?
- due to non existence of Gurmat parchar even amongst Sikhs ?
- due to the practices of Manmat instead of Gurmat ?
- due to any other reason ?

Save the Sikhi - Sri Guru Granth Sahib Sewak Jatha

Those who paid gold coins, in Mughal rules, for a sikh head, could not finish the Sikhs. But today, our kids are paying, from our own pockets for trimming the beards, for cutting hairs, for buying caps, for eating tambaku and for consuming liquor.

They can not speak Punjabi. They can not recite Gurbani. Ask any trimmer and he will give a dozen explanations to prove, that, he is more than a sikh.

It's a wake up call for all of us. We can not promote the Sikhi because our leaders are busy elsewhere. But if we join together, we can atleast try our best to save the Sikhi. Therefore, we are launching a new platform in the name & style of :

SRI GURU GRANTH SAHIB SEWAK JATHA

We are looking for persons who can join us in this endeavour. We are more interested in persons, who can work with us in our effort.

Please add your comments as well suggestions, ideas, comments, views in the comments box below. Please forward this link to your friends & well wishers. You can also send us a mail to show your interest :
