Thread by @SikhPA

On Wednesday 3rd Nov Sikh community sevadaar (selfless servant) @sikhhistorysim will pose panthic (Sikh path/community focused) questions to Canadian media figure and Indian nationalist mouthpiece @CBCTerry in a twitter spaces discussion.

Tune in from 12pm PST time to listen.

Sikh PA are supporting Sim Kaur in her efforts to pose questions of community sentiment to Terry Milewski, who is infamous for terming Punjabi-Sikh Canadian political engagement "samosa politics", as well as his work maligning Sikh support for Khalistan (a free Sikh homeland).

Last year Terry authored a much criticised report on Khalistan for @MLInstitute, a group that promote oil trade between India and Canada. Over 50 academics signed an open letter condemning how Terry ignored context around Khalistan and its place amid the Sikh genocide of the 80s.

Terry's work on Sikh activism and the Khalistan movement is seen by many as regurgitation of Indian state propaganda, often used to silence criticism of the Indian state's countless human rights abuses which arise when India's international trade deals are in the spotlight.

Terry has recently taken part in spaces events with Twitter accounts espousing support for Indian nationalism and even the RSS (Hindutva extremist org), whilst propagating issues of "Sikh radicalism" in Canada.

We look forward to Terry being pressed on relevant issues tomorrow.
