Encompassed In A Nut-Shell: Perspective By Angus Scott


The attached podcast features a UK-based reporter who, despite being a non-Sikh, presents an analysis of Sikh history, politics, and current issues with striking clarity. Angus’s discussion with a correspondent from the USA provides such lucid insight into the subject matter that many within the Sikh community itself might not be able to express. This podcast suggests that it is possible to cultivate a sense of shared humanity by understanding diverse perspectives as different aspects of the homogenised global community.
I’ll reiterate the imagery used in my previous post: ‘We are diverse shades of the same rainbow’. Angus’s perception, beyond the borders and culture, has endorsed the thought for me.

In response to the US correspondent’s question about the UK Government’s alleged compromise under India’s political pressure, I strongly believe that it is due to the historical link that still notoriously ties both countries. Indian Hindu-Tavi cult of RSS was a lurking stooge for the Colonial power, and as a departing reward for their traitorous services, a new country called India was born and presented to the friendly Hindu leaders of the time. India is still attached to the umbilical cord, though the former masters had cut the bond. However, an impassive obligation towards Hindu Tavis still lingers in the British political psyche. The British have always been wary of the Sikhs since they understood their courage and ardour to reclaim self-determination.

    1. You got it right, categorically. One of the aims for Sikhs is to re-establish the same Nation as once was in which all people were treated with dignity and equality- regardless of their faith, language or any other affiliations. This was the Khalsa Rule under Maharaja Ranjit Singh- the only democratic Monarch in history so far as I know.
      Thank you. as always, for your insightful comment, and support.
      Gratitude, my dear friend.🙏🙏

  2. Wonderful post, Jasleen. Thank you for sharing this thoughtful post and introducing Angus Scott’s perspective. It’s both inspiring and heartening to see such deep understanding and empathy for Sikh history and values. I’m impressed with his overall presentation, but it also shows his understanding of being able to teach people (like myself 😊), as you do with your writing, not only brings greater clarity to complex historical and social issues but also highlights the enduring aspirations for dignity and unity in diversity. Grateful for your continued advocacy for universal spirituality in the Sikh spirit—your words truly enrich the ongoing dialogue surrounding identity and justice.

  4. Sikhs are always very courageous. There were many freedom fighters from Punjab like lots of Bengali freedom fighters who lost their lives to protect India from the British. Well shared
