Head of British Sikh Association Attacks Kirpan

Dr. Rami Ranger MBE Attacks Human Rights of Sikhs to Practice Faith

By: Sikh24 Editors

(September 23, 2012)–On 27^th August 2012, Dr. Rami Ranger, a self-proclaimed representative of the Sikh community and Chairman of the British Sikh Association, wrote a letter to S. Avtar Singh Makkar, President of the SGPC (Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee – the mini-Parliament of the Sikhs). He asked for the Kirpan to be dropped as an article of the Sikh faith. What hope can the British Sikh community hold in such individuals to defend their religious rights when they clearly have little knowledge of Sikh traditions and values?
Following is the text of the correspondence from Rami Ranger to the SGPC.

To, The President of the SGPC,
Dear Khalsa Ji,
Gur Fateh.

In view of the changing world where terrorism has become an integral part of everyday life, we ought to take a fresh look at our religious symbol, the Kirpan.
In any case, it is now considered to be just a symbol rather than a necessary weapon for our protection as it once was.
In any case, we are no longer fighting the Mughals.
The next wars will be fought with the help of science and technology.
We can see in some part of the world how drone attacks are not providing protection to those who once considered themselves to be invincible.
Besides, we now live in a civilised world where there is police and the rule of law to protect our liberties along with everyone else in society.
Regrettably, the Kirpan can no longer provide us defence if the other person is carrying a gun.
In some cases, the culprit will even be encouraged to use the gun if he sees a person with a Kirpan.
It is also a fact that many terrorists resemble us in their appearance, so why give a chance to anyone who may easily mistake us as one of them.
Many of our fellow Sikhs have been the victims of mistaken identity. We cannot sit back and do nothing whilst someone else gets killed.
We have a responsibility to do something for their sake as well as for the sake of our fellow Sikhs who could also become victims of a mistaken identity unwittingly with dire consequences for their loved ones.
We must also not provide a spectacle at airports and seaports by standing out by wearing Kirpan.
It is our duty to make the job of security personnels of securing us and our families easier by not holding them or the rest of the passengers whilst we insist on carrying full size Kirpan.
You will agree that it is very difficult to change the world but it is relatively easy to change ourselves to adapt to the changing world.
A species which will survive in the future will not be the most intelligent or the strongest, but one who can adapt to change.
I believe the time has come for us to adapt to survive by carrying only a 3 inch ceremonial Kirpan as a mark of respect to our Gurus who liberated us after paying supreme sacrifices.
Our Gurus will understand the situation. Besides, they always advocated that we must live by our actions and deeds rather than rituals.
Please provide leadership so that we remain a prosperous and progressive community in line with the vision of our Gurus for the entire mankind.
The Sikhs must move with the times rather than trying to remain the monuments of our past.
Please do forgive me if my views do not make sense.
I mean well for our community. I thank you for your understanding.

The British Sikh Association, which Mr. Ranger is the Chairman of, does not seem to promote the basic Sikh fundamentals in its annual dinner. This past year, dance was part of the function and alcohol was provided to the attendees, despite it being a cardinal taboo in the Sikh religion.

Dr. Ranger MBE, is a successful entrepreneur and businessman in the UK. As well as being the Chairman of the British Sikh Association, he is the Patron of the India Association UK and founding member of the Hindu Forum Britain. Mr. Ranger is quoted as saying that the Hindu Forum Britain was set up to “unite all the different Hindu Organizations in Britain under one umbrella so that they could project a cohesive voice in British government departments.” On Wikipedia Mr. Ranger is quoted as saying that “it was essential for the public to know about the Hindu religion…”
He is also quoted on Wikipedia that the British Sikh Association was “set up to stop the extremist Sikh organizations from representing the Sikh point of view in Britain.” He adds that he has “vigorously argued with these extremist organizations that the Sikhs were created to defend the unity, integrity and the basic human rights of every Indian and not to break her up.”
In 2005 Mr. Ranger was made a Member of the British Empire, for his services to British Business and the Asian Community. The Sikh Channel (UK) have given Mr. Ranger recognition by inviting him to speak on ‘Dastaar Day’ in London in September 2011 and also awarded in the “Sikh Channel Awards”.
