Commemorative coin marking Mahatma Gandhi’s remarkable life unveiled for the first time

https://www.royalmint.com/our-coins/eve ... ated-coin/
Chancellor Rishi Sunak reveals new £5 collectors coin to celebrate the life of Mahatma Gandhi

Coin features image of India’s national flower and is part of the Royal Mint’s wider Diwali collection, including the UK’s first gold bar depicting an image of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi

Commemorative coin launched to coincide with Diwali and in the 75th year of India’s Independence

Available in a range of standards including gold and silver, the special collectors’ coin was designed by Heena Glover and features an image of a lotus, India’s national flower, alongside one of Gandhi’s most famous quotes – ‘My life is my message’.

Building on the enduring relationship and cultural connections between the UK and India, it is the first time that Gandhi has been commemorated on an official UK coin with the final design chosen by Rishi Sunak, who is the Master of the Mint.

Chancellor Rishi Sunak said:

This coin is a fitting tribute to an influential leader who inspired millions of people around the world.

As a practicing Hindu, I am proud to unveil this coin during Diwali. Mahatma Gandhi was instrumental in the movement for Indian independence and it is fantastic to have a UK coin commemorating his remarkable life for the first time.

As you can see from their short Wiki entries, they are of Gujrati origin but I believe that they believe that they are what we in Kenya called Khoja Muslims, ie Ismaili followers of the Aga Kahn.

Looks like some of their co-religionists believe that this gives them the the right to impose their beliefs in the shops. But they still sell pork sausages and alcohol!

x posted from the political thread


This was more than a year after the congi lie of so called independence on August 15, 1947...........

and neverwho's "tryst with destiny" speech


For dominion India, real independence did not come in 1947
India became independent on August 15, 1947, or did it? Jawaharlal Nehru’s famous speech, ‘tryst with destiny’ delivered on the midnight of August 15, is remembered as the moment a new nation was born thereon. In reality though, that was the moment when India and Pakistan acquired dominion status. While India remained a dominion till 1950, Pakistan retained the status till 1956.

In simpler words, dominions were autonomous communities within the British Empire which were “equal in status” but had an “allegiance to the Crown”. What it meant was that King George VI continued to reign as the Emperor of India and Lord Mountbatten was the first Governor-General of the country. Nehru was sworn in as the premier, but served on the command of the British Governor-General, and unelected Indian nationalist leaders were administered oaths in the name of the British King-Emperor. What it also meant was that a British field marshall led the Indian army and judges appointed by the British continued to be part of the high courts and the federal court.

India strongly takes up 'Khalistan' referendum with UK

India strongly takes up 'Khalistan' referendum with UK


National Security Advisor Ajit Doval made it clear to his UK counterpart Stephen Lovegrove that the Modi government takes strong exception to the UK allowing a referendum on a third country by weaponising a minuscule section of the Indian diaspora.

Even though India and the UK share similar views on the Indo-Pacific as strategic partners, New Delhi has conveyed its serious concerns to London for allowing banned pro-Khalistan organisation Sikhs for Justice to hold a referendum on the secession of Punjab on October 31.

While the so-called referendum held in downtown London turned out to be a damp squib, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval made it clear to his UK counterpart Stephen Lovegrove that the Modi government takes strong exception to the UK allowing a referendum on affairs of a third country by weaponising a minuscule section of the Indian diaspora. The Indian position was conveyed during the bilateral strategic dialogue on November 3 in London.

It is understood that India made it clear that there was total peace in Punjab with radical Sikh elements failing to get even one per cent of the vote during assembly or Lok Sabha polls held every five years. The Modi government conveyed its serious concern that the UK government is turning a blind eye to the open radicalisation of the Indian diaspora by Sikh banned groups to promote their secessionist agenda. Under the influence and support of the Pakistani deep state, the Sikh radicals have been holding protests on the three farm laws and punitively participating in anti-India activities in the UK. Despite the SFJ being a banned organization in India since 2019 and its leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannu being declared a terrorist, the UK allowed the US-based extremist organisation to conduct an illegal referendum on the Indian Punjab.

Unlike European Union countries like France, Spain and Netherlands with whom India has very close ties, the bilateral ties with the UK have been derailed by London playing an adversarial role against India when it comes to Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kashmir, and the so-called Khalistan issue. In this context, the role played by UK Chief of Defence Staff Nick Carter, who called Taliban terrorist country boys with code of honour, in the now failed Doha peace process stands out singularly.

Although India and the United Kingdom have been strategic partners since 2004, the UK role in tacitly supporting Pakistan in the multi-lateral fora on abrogation of Articles 370 and 35 A in Jammu and Kashmir on August 5, 2019, has been noted with concern by the Modi government.

It is understood that while UK NSA Lovegrove assured NSA Doval that no anti-India sentiment will be promoted, India is watching London carefully to see whether the promise gets translated on the ground as adversarial actions will directly impact bilateral ties.

I think it was one peaceful worker who took it upon himself to impose his cultish beliefs by trying to intimidate the shopper, who I believe wore perfectly normal street clothes. ASDA later apologized and confirmed that it was not company policy. So, the worker was out of line.

UK Police Raid on Sikhs for Justice Office Exposes Vote Rigging in 'Punjab Referendum' Farce
British police carried out raids this month on the Hounslow office of the group Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), CNN-News18 has learnt. The outfit was banned by the Indian government in 2019 under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act for promoting secession and violent militancy in Punjab.

According to sources, the raids took place on November 15 at the SFJ office on the first floor of Sadda Superstore, 356 Bath Road, Hounslow. The police took away electronic devices and documents from the site related to the so-called ‘Punjab referendum’ organised by the outfit recently that turned out to be a farce with very few people participating.

SFJ members were using various electronic devices to create fake identity cards, said sources in the UK.

Many documents pertaining to bogus voters in order to push up the voting numbers during the ‘referendum’ have been recovered, they said.

Founded in 2007, SFJ is a primarily US-based organisation that has been demanding a separate homeland for Sikhs in Punjab, dubbed “Khalistan".

UK police had received information regarding nefarious activities being carried out by representatives of the outfit at the Hounslow office, sources said. Authorities have also reportedly detained an individual with links to Pakistan.

The Hounslow address has been at the centre of negative activities to defame India, top Indian government sources said.

https://www.economist.com/christmas-spe ... othing-new

Siddhartha Gautama, known now as Buddha, ate meat only when given it as alms because his faith prohibited hurting animals. That proves fatal; his final meal is believed to have been a bowl of “Pig’s Delight”. This leads to a divide in Chinese Buddhism that persists today: to eat or not to eat meat

The Economist makes less sense with every passing year. What was Buddha's religion? Interesting that a précis of the history of veganism omits ANY mention of India/Hindu. Perhaps its too much of the Christmas cheer. Always be charitable hehehehe.

Please see the BBC report on the incident of the Sikh man with the mission to attack queen elizabeth.

Sanitised for the lower classes. No record of the Sikh identity. No reportage of the reason he was there.


the BBC and the economist are only good for a wry laugh.

https://www.firstpost.com/india/why-bri ... 39921.html
Why Britain often joins hands with anti-India Khalistani radicalism thriving on its soil

Sikh politics everywhere outside India is toxic beyond belief and the animosity is directed towards a supposed Hindu enemy because Sonia Gandhi’s Congress party, earlier led by her late husband, easily gets elected to govern Punjab despite being perpetrators of the horrors of the 1984 pogrom against their community. In demonstration posters abroad it is Hindus and even Narendra Modi who get demonised for alleged crimes against the Sikh community in India, repeatedly described as genocide, despite Modi’s known and long-held personal reverence for Sikhism.

In private conversations with Sikh leaders, the plea that most Hindus consider Sikhism as integral to their own very identity, just as they revere Jainism and Buddhism as essential dimensions of their eclectic Indic civilisation, cuts no ice and is indeed greeted with disdain. Even the apolitical Sikh will quickly allege long historic oppression of Sikhs by Brahmins. The nineteenth century British colonial narrative to turn the Sikh community into mercenaries in defence of Britain’s empire has become deeply and immovably ingrained.

Most British gurdwaras have long refused admission to any official or politician from India, though a solitary exception was made for Subramaniam Swamy, the BJP Rajya Sabha MP, some years ago. The major gurdwara at Southall adorns a life-size portrait of the terrorist Bhindranwale on one of its entrance columns, the other one of the revered Guru Teg Bahadur, insulting his cherished memory and instilling fear in any Hindu passer-by who might fearfully recall Bhindranwale’s penchant for sectarian murder of the innocent. Some British gurdwaras are also known to have invited clerics from Pakistan to sermonise devotees.

The upshot is that the sense of ease with which Hindus once entered gurdwaras to offer worship and partake from the langar has ceased. Indeed, one Sikh gentleman warned me not to attend an event organised in a gurdwara by the British Indian Jewish Association, of which we were both members, owing to ‘sensitivities’! Another episode that highlights the crass ignorance of Khalistani militants is illustrated by the demand made by one that the frequent use of the term Dharma by Sikhs ought to end. And the trenchant paradox remains that Khalistani militants abroad who wish to precipitate bloodshed in India to establish a sectarian state would themselves never settle in it. They would never abandon their comfortable lives in the UK and Canada, for which they mortgaged their family to realise their migrant dream.

In the UK and Canada and elsewhere, diasporic Sikh groups are mostly controlled openly by Khalistani sympathisers who operate in tandem with Islamist groups of Pakistani origin under the solicitous eye of the local Pakistani diplomatic mission. Funding is readily available for inciting anti-Indian activity, including Khalistani participation in two successive attacks on the Indian High Commission in London, a third only diverted owing to stern injunctions from New Delhi to the authorities in London.

The failure of the British police to prevent the first two unprecedented attacks on a diplomatic mission by a mob is concerning and instructive. While it is true that banning a demonstration altogether in the UK is fraught with legal difficulty because the decision would be subject to judicial review, diverting it is an administrative prerogative of the Home Secretary. The incumbent at the time, Preeti Patel, only exercised that option after India conveyed firm disapprobation on learning a third demonstration was organised and would end before its London diplomatic mission yet again. Any shortfall to fund Khalistani militancy abroad and in India is now being met by India’s other hostile neighbour which judges chaos in Punjab worth many divisions of soldiers in the event that it decides to attempt seizure of more Indian territory.

The British insouciance towards Khalistani militancy stems significantly from vote-bank politics. Unlike Indian origin British Hindus, who vote in modest numbers, the diasporic Sikh community, like Muslims, are mobilised electorally in significant numbers and increasingly able to affect the ability of the two major political parties to form a majority national government. The combined votes of diasporic Sikhs and Muslims are of the greatest necessity for the British Labour Party to win political power nationally at Westminster.

This alliance between the Labour Party and the two minority groups of voters, unfailing hostile to India, helps to control innumerable local authority governments across the country that are highly sensitive to Muslim and Sikh demands. The two smaller political parties, the Greens and the Liberal Democrats, are similarly beholden to these minority votes in scores of marginal parliamentary constituencies. Both openly support the idea of a plebiscite in Jammu and Kashmir and the Labour Party has studiously avoided repudiating it, effectively acquiescing to demands that ultimately originate from the Pakistani diplomatic establishment in London.

The undercurrents of sympathy for Khalistani aspirations are coursing through the bloodstream of British politics, only obscured from Indian policymakers by cynical public relations and subterfuge. In April 2016, the Conservative Government of Prime Minister David Cameron succumbed to political pressure and removed the ban against the International Sikh Youth Federation, which had been proscribed earlier. The contrast between Khalistani and Islamist groups and the only truly politically active group of Hindus in the UK, largely of East African origin, is revealing, because most East African Asians are instinctively loyal to the British Crown and official British political perspectives. In addition, their direct personal economic interests are tied to the Labour Party because their livelihoods depend directly and indirectly on a well-funded public sector, which the Labour Party supports.

This is also the underlying public sector dependence, leftist socialisation part, which impels virtually all Indian-origin social scientists in the UK to challenge every policy act originating in New Delhi. They are often unspoken or even vocal supporters of cession of J&K to Pakistan, immediate dismantling of the AFSPA and advocates of earnest engagement with proponents of Khalistan as prelude to creating an autonomous homeland for Sikhs.

This pregnant reality is also the reason why virtually all Indian-origin members of the British parliament as well as nominated members of the House of Lords, Hindus as well as Sikhs, support policies openly hostile to Indian interests. Not a single Indian-origin parliamentarian spoke up in favour of India’s humanitarian CAA and they all denounced India’s new farm laws in unison, as pro-Khalistani demonstrators marched through their constituency streets, sending them a pointed message about the sentiments of voters who sent them to parliament or brought them into the limelight.

The most prominent Sikh organisation in Britain, the Sikh Federation, is currently in the British courts to force the official census to allow Sikhs not to identify as Indian by default, which is a subtle step away from self-ascription as Khalistani. The fact that few turned up to vote in favour of the recent referendum in the UK to affirm support for Khalistan is not an indication of its conscious repudiation, but recognition by the ordinary Sikh of its complete practical irrelevance to the situation in Punjab. More notable is the open or covert support of most Sikh British social science academics for the idea of Khalistan and many prominent Sikhs are regular visitors to Pakistan and don’t even bother to conceal their visit.

The most tragicomic aspect of the situation is the finesse with which the British political establishment has cajoled Indian policymakers into misreading the seriousness of the challenge to India that originates in the UK. The UK authorities have quietly mobilised influential and ambitious Indian-origin British political entrepreneurs to badger senior Indian politicians and advocate ever closer ties with Britain. Of course, these Indian-origin businessmen are usually personal beneficiaries of commercial relations between the two countries and also eager for recognition in Britain with national awards like OBEs and hope for appointment to the House of Lords as peers.

Regarding the Overseas Sikhs and some Hindus, the behavior starts fro. British period where they have cultivated Martial theory in Punjabis, Muslim Punjab was the most loyal to British and reward by Miltary jobs and education, infrastructure was the best with irrigation canal. That's why they were given the best land in the Subcontinent without any past loans, and Indus water treaty for thier future, only thing ideology has sploit all this .

The only fly in ointment was Pakistani Punjab had 32% Hindus and Sikhs, they were loyal to the British but had to be driven out overnight, these people never dug deep roots in India, many of them were allowed to emigrate in the last 50 years, so they spent .5 to 2 generations in India and were mostly felt as foreign land in India. They see Indian Sikhs and Hindus now feeling secure while thier homeland is controlled, plus to survive they need to act in the way thier Host country Governments tell them, a fact ignored by many here. Many here don't understand unlike them who are skilled immigrants , unskilled immigrants have a totally different equation and need to behave the way the host Government deep state tells them, people are falling into this trap. Question how do we get a solution to this? A united strong India is in no foreign Country 'a interest. So every fault line is exploited.

India is showing significant resistance to UK on these issues now a days, recently there was rally in Scotland to release Jagtar Singh Johal who is British national, imprisoned in India on charges of killing RSS members in Punjab. Four years since arrest his trial is yet to begin. In Feb this year over 140 MPs from Labour party wrote letter to British PM asking to secure his release https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/uk-n ... a-22062457

Suspected Agent's son worked as Labour MP's dairy manager until last week!!!
Gora's are now realising that Chinese money comes with free Colander for the Spy and decision making bodies!! :lol: :lol:
I doubt anyone is surprised, Britshits are easy to bribe with money and s** not unlike chacha . I have heard like 90K HK folks with Britshits Overseas citizenship have arrived since the Eleven crackdown began, quite visible on the high street although some could be native and Han, buying expensive apartments and houses. Also a lot of Beta goras are easy prey to Asian charms relationship and all and now with ££ flowing I would expect more. I hope we are careful of this before signing any FTA with these chaps.

'Britain freezes BBC funding for two years, Opposition calls it ‘cultural vandalism’



Britain on Monday said that it would freeze funding for BBC for two years at £159, or about Rs 16,125, which is paid by households annually, reported the news channel.

Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries said in the House of Commons that the government could “not justify extra pressure on the wallets of hardworking households”. She said that after the freeze, the news channel will be in line with inflation for the next four years.

“The BBC must support people at a time when their finances are strained, make savings and efficiencies, and use the billions in public funding it receives to deliver for viewers, listeners and users,” she said.

British households that watch BBC are charged a flat fee every year, called the licence fee, which is used to fund shows and services offered by the public broadcaster. In exchange for the licence fee, BBC provides public service broadcasting.

The licence fee has come under criticism for the past few years for various reasons. Since it is a flat rate, questions are raised as the poorest households are paying as much as the richest. Also, people have questioned if non-payment of the fee is serious enough to justify threatening someone with imprisonment or a criminal record.

However, the existence of the licence fee has been guaranteed till 2027 end by the BBC’s royal charter that sets its funding and purpose.

On Monday, Dorries said discussions about the future of the funding model of the public broadcaster, has editorial independence from government, from 2028 will “start shortly” but the change was needed because of evolving media consumption and technological advances, reported AFP.

“This is 2022, not 1922,” she said. “We need a BBC that is ready to take the challenges of modern broadcasting, a BBC that will continue to engage the British public and that commands support from across the breadth of the UK, not just the London bubble, a BBC that can thrive alongside Netflix and Amazon Prime and all of its other challengers which attract younger viewers.”

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport has said the BBC is expected to receive about £3.7 billion, about Rs 37,500 crore, in licence fee funding in 2022 and £23 billion, around Rs 2.7 lakh crore, over the duration of the settlement period.

It added that the national broadcaster also receives more than £90 million, or approximately Rs 9,127 crore, per year from the government to support the BBC World Service.

However, analysts said a below-inflation budget will force BBC to cut services, according to Reuters.

‘Will have to absorb inflation’: BBC chief
In a joint statement, BBC’s Director General Tim Davie and chairperson Richard Sharp said the move would mean that the broadcaster “will now have to absorb inflation”.

They called the decision disappointing “not just for licence fee payers, but also for the cultural industries who rely on the BBC for the important work they do across the UK”.

They said that income for the services was already 30% lower than it was 10 years ago.

“We will continue to drive an ambitious programme of reform moving more of our output across the UK, transitioning the organisation to a digital future and delivering distinctive and impartial content,” they added.

Labour spokesperson Lucy Powell said the freeze on funding was an attack on one of the biggest institutions in British public life, accusing Dorries of “cultural vandalism”.

“Is the licence fee really at the heart of the cost of living crisis or is this really about their long-term vendetta against the BBC?” she asked.
