UK: The Sikh community is expected by the end of this week to have launched legal action against the Office for National Statistics (ONS) regarding the 2011 Census. This will follow a meeting with Bindmans, a leading firm of human rights lawyers, on the legal options available to the Sikh community, assessing the chances of success in the courts and the likely legal costs of any action. The Sikh Channel has agreed to take responsibility for collecting funds and will front the legal challenge with the Sikh Federation (UK) on behalf of the Sikh community. Many Gurdwaras, organisations and individuals have come forward and suggested legal action should not be delayed and pledged financial support.

The sacred Banee of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib has guided the Khalsa for the last 300 years and is part and parcel of the Sikh psyche. Sri Dasam Granth of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib is the second most respected scripture of the Sikhs after Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. In addition of being the source of the Banees of Sikh Baptism (Amrit Sanchar), Daily Prayer (Nitnem) and Ardas, Sri Dasam Granth Sahib is also the only source from where the terminologies, phrases and concepts of the Khalsa are derived. Some prominent examples are, ‘Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh’, ‘Deg Teg Fateh’, ‘Bipran Ki Reet’, ‘Panth’, ‘Khalsa’, ‘Khanda’, ‘Kirpan’, ‘Sarab-loh’, ‘Dharam-Yudh’ etc.
