Chapter 1: What is the controversy surrounding the Kirpan and the murder of Henry Nowak?
More people die from circumcisions. A karpan has never been used in the hundred or so years the Sikhs have been here. The karpan was not used in that murder. It was a different dagger.
I don't think religions that aren't our predominant religion should have preferential treatment.
Chapter 2: How does Guramit Singh explain the real weapon used in the murder?
Didn't do anything about Vikram, handcuffed Novak, all because he's a minority. I've never seen anybody from the Islamic community stand up and say, this is not us. I've seen nothing. I've seen complete silence. We are not Islam. We don't come here to say we want to control, we want to take over. We want to live side by side with our Christian brothers.
Chapter 3: What are Guramit Singh's views on police handling of community tensions?
And that's what we have done. If you can't play by the rules here, fuck off back to where you come from. Being on the run is not a cool, sexy thing to do. It's the worst thing I've ever done in my life. I told them, don't move me onto that wing because I know it's highly populated with Muslims. Within two days, I was attacked. An assassination attempt on me.
The Muslims have put ยฃ21,000 together to try and have me murdered. People get more prison time right now for comments on Facebook than what they do for raping children. This individual went into a gym in Nottingham, sexually assaulted six girls in one night. Three or four he got found guilty of. I put some questions to him and I get arrested for harassment. He got a suspended sentence.
I'd have them all swinging from a tree, including my own father. Gurmeet, thanks for coming on. Liam, it's a pleasure, my friend. Thank you very much for having me. So straight in, very horrible, nasty subject, the murder of Henry Novak.
Chapter 4: What experiences does Guramit share about his time in prison?
Since that took place, everyone's seen it with their own eyes, what went down. But there's been a lot of community tension recently. amongst different communities, the Sikh community versus others in particular. Being a Sikh man, what's really going on within the community?
I don't believe in any sort of particular reason that our community is feeling scared. Our race isn't meant to feel scared, especially in these sort of troublesome times. And I also have to state, Liam, you know, I speak on behalf of myself, not my Sikh community. As you know, I'm a clean-shaven Sikh.
I'm not a nomadali Sikh, baptised Sikh, like you've had a good colleague of mine, Mohan Singh, on here before. So it's hard for me to speak. I can't speak on behalf of the whole community or the religion, but I can speak on my behalf. Since the killing of Henry Nowak, which was, you know, it's one of the most disgusting, heinous murders that I've seen on the streets of this country.
It wasn't just the fact that shocked me that it was someone from my own community because individuals from each community commit these heinous crimes. It was in the circumstances of how he died, how the police officers arrested him, tied, you know, turned him on his side when he told him he couldn't breathe multiple times.
They still let him just bleed out and they were like, you know, when he said that he had been stabbed, they were just like, you know, I don't think you have son.

Chapter 5: How does Guramit Singh address grooming gangs and community safety?
And I think it's because of the shock of the police treatment, which has brought this sort of topic up to number one discussion point at the moment. There has been tensions, you know. And, you know, I know you're going to ask a question about this, but, you know, there's been a lot of talk about manning the karban, which is, you know, it's more than a ceremonial dagger.
It's a part of a Sikh man's faith. If you're a religious Sikh, you wear the five Ks and the karban is one of them. It was given to the Sikhs by the gurus to fight against injustice, to fight against the oppressors. In them days, it was the Islamists that were going around murdering, killing, and raping people from all sort of factions, all factions of society in that part of Asia.
So it was a tool of protection. Now, some people could actually state that, well, they were in them days, but I'd actually say that we're living in just as terrible times. You know what I mean? We're still having these attacks from the Islamists. Islamist community, on our communities and other communities have been seen over and over again.
So I think it's just important that Sikhs carry that Qurban to protect themselves and to protect others. But I know, like I said, I know you were going to ask about this and a lot of people, there has been a bit of misinformation about the weapon that Vikram Digba actually used. That disgusting individual, you know, the police said it was a Qurban, the judge said it was a Qurban.
Chapter 6: What is the significance of the five Ks in Sikhism?
It wasn't a Qurban. He was a baptised Sikh. He comes from a sect of Sikhism, that have some sort of obsession with weapons. You know what I mean? A little bit too much. As we've seen from recent police reports, the Sikh community have actually gone to the police. They've approached them numerous times due to Mr Digba's behaviour in the past. He's stolen weapons from Good Virus.
He's been obsessed with weapons for a hell of a long time. A bit of too much of an obsession. It's one thing to have an interest in weapons, but what I believe is a dangerous obsession that that little boy had. And obviously that obsession led to him stabbing to death that poor lad on the streets of Southampton.
But the actual weapon that was used at the time was actually called a peshtar, which is a Persian stabbing dagger. It was used in the Persian days to pierce armour.
Chapter 7: How does Guramit Singh feel about the current state of the justice system?
It looks like a zombie blade. It's massive. It wasn't a karban at all. So that's one bit of misinformation that's out there, why I believe that people are jumping on the bandwagon to criticise the karban and Sikhs wearing the karban so much. But what I'd also say is if you have a look at the history with Sikhs and the karban in this country,
There's never been one incidence of that qurban being used in violence. It's never happened. You know, more people have been killed from being hit or assaulted with a stiletto. More people died from circumcisions. A qurban has never been used in the hundred or so years the Sikhs have been here.
And because I believe that the media and the judge have brought the kurban at the front of this argument, I believe they've tried to use that to try and scapegoat the police's actions on that day, to try and move the blame over to the Sikhs and take it away from the police officers for their heinous behaviour when it comes to the arrest of Mr Henry Novak.
I don't think many people... we're probably aware that Sikhs were allowed to carry a ceremonial dagger. So before we get into the weeds of that, you mentioned the five Ks. So what are the five Ks and what justifies Sikhs to carry a dagger?
Chapter 8: What message does Guramit Singh have for the future of the Sikh community?
The five Ks are the five symbols of a Sikh when they become a baptised Sikh. I wear the gudda, which is a steel bracelet to remind you that you're a Sikh. You keep it on your right hand, it reminds you daily. On my long journey down here, you know, I always drive one arm up. It reminds me of a Sikh, I get into meditation, I start meditating, you know, just remember to go back to God a little bit.
Another one's a kanga, which they keep in the hair to comb the hair with. The other one's a kish, which is a turban. Another one's a kashara, which is like a sort of large, oversized boxer shorts. And then the final one is the Qarban as well.
And the reason for that being is the gurus gave the Qarban to the Sikh people to stop them from being attacked and being raped and being pillaged by the oppressors at the time who were the Mughal Muslim Empire. And that's the reason the Sikhs carry the 5Ks. It's more than a ceremonial dagger. It's more than just an item on them. It's a part of their faith. It's a part of who they are.
Now, like I said, the Sikhs have, this has never been an issue in this country at all. The Qarban has never been used in this sort of manner to murder somebody violently on the streets of this country. It's never been used. And I believe that the politicians and the judge and a lot of internet mouthpieces have brought it to the front line and they're talking about the Qarban.
But then I'd also say to these individuals, why weren't you campaigning against the Qarban a couple of years ago? Why weren't you doing it 10 years ago? Why is it just now? You know, the korban was not used in that murder. It was a different dagger.
And I believe the sort of individuals that were bringing it to the front line and talking about the korban a couple of weeks ago, you know, they've stopped talking about it now. So it's like, what's fashionable at the day? What's getting views? What's getting hits? That's what people talk about.
But, you know, in some ways, I do understand the justification of people having that debate about why seats can wear a combine and why they can't. I can understand that. People want equality. One rule for you, one rule for another. I understand that. But when the seats came to this land, it was on conditions, and the conditions was that they could wear the 5Ks.
So the double standards you can get where people are coming from. 100%. And what country does Sikhism originate from?
Punjab, the first Guru, Guru Nanak. And like I said, I'm not an expert in Sikhism. I'm not an expert in no faith. I'm still learning myself. I'm still finding my way to my Guru. I can't speak on behalf of my community or my religion, but I do speak on myself. But Sikhism was founded in Punjab by Guru Nanak, whose parents were Hindus.
