Episode 2 for me was an eye opener. It exposed Saudi corruption on a scale I had not heard of before. It must be the most corrupt country in the world. A deal struck with the a dutch firm, Ballast Nedam, saw over half of the $500 million contract going in kick-backs, an incredible $330 million going to one prince.

This was eclipsed in comparison by an arms deal with Britain, worth £43 billion of which at least £6 billion was paid in bribes to Saudi royals. A UK project manager noticed anomalies in the budget and when fobbed off by the Saudis, downloaded as much data as he could get his hands on and handed over to the press. An investigation into this was closed down by their good friend Tony Blair on the spurious grounds of “national security” and Saudi threat to withdraw contracts and not share terrorism data. The last bit is ironic as they fund more terrorism activities than any other country. 

From these deals we learn how Governments always put #1 first. Call it bribery through gold deposits, arms deals or whatever, India has long been muzzling the UK to silence it on it's human rights record.

The message coming from successive governments has always been loud and clear – there is no room for critical voices in or outside India. It relentlessly pursues its agenda to stifle those who disagree with them or who challenge government policy, with increasing restrictions imposed by previous governments.

What better way to silence it's critics and continue with its oppressive regime than through similar tactics employed by Saudis by threatening to withdraw bilateral aid and lucrative defence contracts.

 

Very interesting, thank you!

    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
    • Good way of putting it, bro. One of the ongoing themes of Gurbani is the fake saint. Whether it's fake babas in Punjab or English-speaking personalities in the West, it's an continuing problem of religion through the centuries (and it's not exclusive to us by any means, this applies to all human societies).
