Leaflets for non-Sikhs

[fists_of_fury]

I think due to the recent attacks this should have been done after September 11th. We need leaflets produced explaining to non-Sikh general public about who Sikhs are and how do distinguish the difference between Sikhs and Muslims etc. Also a short intro on Sikhi should be included.

Leaflets should be A5 size half of A4, but all the info cant be crammed all on to one leaflet. The leaflets Anjaan has uploaded are ideal. I think we should all produce some leaflets, then look at others and edit and improve on if needed.

Because our aim is the same educate the general public about Sikhs, this should be done with all our hearts irrespective of what jatha or group we belong to.

I think 2 x A5 leaflets (double-sided) will be needed, in order to serve this purpose nothing fancy as it should provide necessary info, not too much writing as some people are put of this a combination of illustrations & labels + short points/paragraphs are needed to create maxium impact. Links to certain Sikh sites should be included.

Here my idea.

LEAFLET ONE:

Side 1: White background, with text saying > Christian…NO, Muslim…NO, Hindu…NO, Jew….NO…What then…Sikh

Side 2: Brief intro about Sikhs and Sikhi, facts like Sikhs serving in world wars with British etc.

LEAFLET TWO:

Side 1: Picture of known terrorist (bin laden) the on the other side a Singh & Singh-ni

Side 2: What are the identity of Sikhs, brief explanation of 5K’S (etc). Basic Sikhi principles like Seva a few pictures and links to websites with more info about Sikhs.

People we should all try to combine our skills and produce some really good literatue. So people get making, uploading + download & edit. :TH:

Yeah. We dont want to go into every little detail, its just a leaflet for non-Sikhs if they dont even know about the Sikhs how will they know about jatha's like AKJ. Just keep it simple.

Gora won't give a damn whether kesh is our kakkar or turban.. :doh: @ This is the stuff that keeps us away from educating the mass non sikhs about our identity..

I will try to make one by today !!!

But are the type of people who take the time to read a leaflet, also the same type of people who may physically or verbally attack Sikhs without provocation, and vice versa? Who is your target audience?

[Cksinghani]

very true as alot of the people who carry out such acts of violence are either to ignorant to read up on Sikhi as they see all indians as Pakis and others who are just like hooligans at a football match where they just follow one guy like a sheep not knowing the real truth behind what they are doing.

Here is people my rough idea for leaflet 1, the content is all pasted from Anjaans leaflet. Tell me what to improve on or download it and edit it all and upload it back.

Good post F_O_F, i think a sikh leaflet has been long overdue. I think i will work on one myself and see what others think, then again, others may have something else in mind.

i'm on it!
