Guru Tegh Bahadur Gurdwara

Sikhs began settling in Leicester in significant numbers after the Second World War, contributing to the city’s cultural diversity and economic development. The establishment of the cityโ€™s first Sikh Gurdwaras in the 1960s marked a pivotal moment in the growth and organization of Leicesterโ€™s Sikh community. By 2021, the Sikh population in Leicester had risen to over 15,000, representing approximately 5% of the city’s residents, compared to a national average of 0.9%.

The Sikh communityโ€™s contributions are particularly evident during annual Nagar Kirtans (processions). The Vaisakhi Nagar Kirtan, held in April, attracts thousands of people from Leicester and the Midlands, with a vibrant procession through the city centre. Another significant event is the Nagar Kirtan in November, celebrating Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s Parkash Purab (birth anniversary), which unites the community in faith and joy.

What is a Kirpan?

Following recent media coverage and public discussion, many people have been asking what a Kirpan is and why it is important within Sikhism.

In this BBC Radio interview, Kartar Singh Bring discusses the significance of the Kirpan as a sacred article of faith, the responsibilities that accompany it, and the importance of accurate understanding and respectful dialogue.

Our thoughts remain with the family and loved ones of Henry Nowak during this difficult time.

Please listen, share, and help promote informed understanding of Sikh beliefs and practices.

"I spent 53 years in the UK. I arrived aged 7 and left at 60. In all that time I was never quite 'us' — always 'them.' I always believed we were all us. Today I wrote about what is happening in Southampton, the kirpan debate, and what Sikh history tells us about collective punishment. Please read and share."

These killers of the young boy are probably from the fringe minority Khalistanies that are more like radical islamists and backed by them .Both extremely violent . There is a difference between true Sikhs and Khalistani terrorists . As the same can be said about true Muslims & islamists also terrorists. Most Khalistanies have migrated to countries like USA ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Canada ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Australia ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ & the UK ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง and have taken over most of the Gurudwaras and proudly promote terrorists as saints & martyrs just like ISIS & Alqeada do . These Khalistanies hate there motherland India ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ and have aligned with and are backed by there historical enemies especially the ISI the sinister intelligence agency of Pakistan ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฐ These Khalistanies are wolves in sheep's clothing & give the true honourable Sikh & Sikh religon a bad name whom are not associated with them. They go around creating a nuisance & disturb the peace and bully Gurudwaras into submitting to there political agendas by force .They also discredit other peaceful Sikhs sects like the naamdharis & Seva Panthis whom do not follow there agenda & even kill them as they do to Hindus they are very backward minded & uncivilised . True Sikhs believe in Khalsa Raj not Khalistan ! Its times the Government's of the western world took action against such tyrants whom always play the victim card .!!! By the way I have Sikh relations & I also respect and love true Sikhs and no hater and have no political agenda , I just wanted the British public to be aware & differentiate between khalistani pseudo Sikhs & true Sikhs they are like Chalk & cheese ! The Police Officers here also need to be charged with professional negligence and murder!
