An intriguing insight into the social and cultural changes in an Indian community in Northern NSW, where traditional arranged marriages and maintenance of faith are being challenged by contemporary Australian influences.
Harbinder and Sarvie are two young Sikh -- Australian girls, growing up in a traditional community of Sikh banana farmers in the country town of Woolgoolga. In a community dominated by the Temple committee, there isn't any room for free will. Harbinder has an arranged marriage in India but Sarvie is "ex-communicated from the community because of her
marriage" to a white Australian man. This documentary portrays the ongoing generational conflict from the point of view of young Australian-Indians.
Sikh people is honest brave hard worker . No crime . I have sikh friend in korea .
I”m stopping off at Woolgoolga next weekend and looked it up for a little research. Great documentary.
Proud to be a punjabi, I love my culture.

Singh Saab those peoples whom you are calling Australians are actually Europeans,,real Australians are aboriginal.
👏👍
Let's all pray to Waheguru for getting back our lost Sikh country. How long can Sikhs live in countries ruled by Hindus, or others?
SIkh ancestors were in Pakistani Punjab.Hindus were Majority in Indian Punjab before partition.
Sikh migrated from Pakistan Punjab.
Hence take back Pakistan Khalistan.
Gurinder your country is India.
This Pakistani again 😂😂
Looks like Punjab, India.........god bless all of you
How old is this documentary. Looks like from the 80s

I don;t know how these guys develop Australian accent and why? I don't think Indians need to talk in Australian accent anymore. I like to be myself.
I think the benning family is from my village (kishanpura, nawanshahar,punjab) ... Im in adelaide cheers
Village Dhariwal, Jalandhar
Ur ryt brother!! I work at Bennings. Still the same
wow this is like the first sikh temple i have seen in australia. The place is lovely i always wanted to go to australia and see what the sikh temples look like. waheguru ji ka khalsa, waheguru ji ki fathe. I love the accent!
society and environment affect everyone just a matter of time
The First Sikh Gurdwara (Temple) Hastings Street, Woolgoolga NSW Australia was built with collective generosity of the following men and their families.
Mr Mangha S Atwal was kind enough to allow the Local Sikh community to acquire the very valuable land which he could have easily kept himself, where the First Sikh Gurdwara now stands. Mr Mangha S Atwal put the interest of the Sikh Community above himself, for which he will always be remembered.
Other elders who contributed to the build by mortgaging their personal assets for bank loan and donating funds are as follows….
Mr Piara S Ratandia, Mr William S Malhi, Mrs Jagir S Sodhi, Mr Gurbakhsh S Atwal, Mr Naranjin S More, Mr James Guljara S Malhi.
Thus the First Sikh Gurdwara (Temple) was built by the Sikh Community not by any one individual or family, it was a collective effort by above mentioned Sardars and their families. If anyone said otherwise they are not being truthful and are devaluing the sacrifices made by seven families.
why is the mom suffering for the action that her kids did? messed up
It doesn't matter if someone recognises it or not!! Matter of fact is it's mainly to show our community about the cultural diversifications we are part of, being an Australian in proud of my heritage, atleast it doesn't matter where u come from.
Gidday,SAT SRI AKAAL
It's struggle I can see clean shave sikh it was hard for males. Specially wearing turbans and colur salute dhan sikhi
Hindu's and Sikh's dont hate each other. They are very similar cultures. The Anti-sikh riots of the 80's is a blot on India, and the 'Hindus' who did it should be hanged. Thank you for your wishes, I appreciate it. All the best to you too! :)
Can anyone tell how old this video is please.
1989
@@ManpreetSingh-wi6xq It's 1997
I dont understand One thing people leave their culture behind and agree to apapt in new foreign culture. Specially Punjabi community. Then they say volumes about the praise for their country and nation and yet choose to live in Abroad. This concept of our old Generation running away from country and setting up example for the younger Generations that Good life is possible only in Abroad had really devastated Punjab and rest if India . Why i am pointing towards punjab is that even these days The families their still keep this dream to immigrate to foreign lands for better lives.
Just imagine if the people in older Generations were that loyal to the country and their own state they woukf have returned back to their Roots. But Greed never ends . Punjabis and Haryanvis and other indians dont realise that if the trend like this continues the same Our Rich culture will be slowly transformed into Western culture.
What i see punjabi culture in todays scenario. People grow up in punjab go to other cities pass ielts PTE etc and good to fly to other nations. They have no vision to stay back and improve the cprtupt system there.
Gone are the days when thus Rich state has given birth to so many Brave warriors who fought with Britishers and Muslim Rulers for the freedom and Religion. But now people dont value their sacrifices. I am sure those people who Sacrificed their lives for the freedom struggle if watching India today they perhaps will be thinking why they have Sacrificed their lives for these stupid people who dont Value their doings.
My point is its ok of you like other countries. Its ok if you like to assimilate yourselves in their Culture . I want todays youth should think and i mean really think twice is it Really worth of Leaving your beautiful and Rich country ? I believe if anyone who is faithful to their country would never leave it.
Beautiful
I do respect all faith's mate. I am Hindu and my girlfriend is Sikh. All I am saying is Indian culture is all about integration along with staying pure to ones roots. Its unfair for me to comment for these people cause Australia was a lot more racist when these guys came here and hence they are more defended about their culture, but now times have changed and I feel we should adapt to the world as well :-)
P.S- I am very much sticking to my culture!
why sikh
Wahe gurru Jee kee fateh
Nice Video. Keep it up.
@mike berg Thankx mate
Aunty g seems miserable😟
hir angrezi kara vich bola do
Punjabi till you get citizenship in some western country. I have seen so many proud Punjabis like you who would do anything to settle in the west.
nice
@TheSardar22 Let's be honest. He did it to get a White wife. But it's true that the Abarahamic religions make you a slave and denounce the power of humans whilst Dharmic religions teach that humans have great power in themselves. I don't believe in the Abarahmic religions because they are too violent, dogmatic and factually wrong.
But I think there is a problem from trying to seperate cultural practices and religion. Practices tend to become outdated and drag religion down with them.
these were confused people india is not culture punjab is the culture
Mata ji Malwi kasooti bolde ne
also why leave india if you don't want to go against tradition, its better to stay in India so the culture and tradition stay 100% pure? why leave India and then force the old traditions on kids born in countries outside of India
Ask someone who lives In India. Why they should leave India
@@Sukhrajvlogsnz never answer question with another question..you just showing your incompetence
@@Sukhrajvlogsnz You didn't understand what I said. I said if your culture is that important to you , why would you want to leave your country? It is obvious some Indian parents love their culture more than they love themselves, if that is the case why not just stay in India, so that your children stay within Indian culture. If you go to another country and have kids, they are going to follow the culture of the country they are in. if you love your culture so much why leave India? it makes no sense? The kids have to suffer because they cannot follow the culture of the country they are born in. The parents don't understand just like they love India, their children love american, UK, canada or Australia. If you want your children to follow indian culture 100 percent purely then stay in India
Lol sounds like the mother have no will to live anymore. She sounds so depressed
👍☝👍👍👍👍
kyu apni aukaat pe utar raha hai? Seems like thats all you can do. Great way to follow your culture!
it was good step,was pretty hard tht time but u really strong girl,c these days people send their girls on contract marriages just to get visa,
Its best things, speak punjabi in foreign countries..
Well going with the same attitude I would say- even Brahmins are oppressed( I am a brahmin). If we all keep on crying all the time (which is what's happening in India and rest of the world) then EVERYONE is oppressed. We are all at receiving end of 'hate' and now it is hard to distinguish action from reaction. I am marrying a sikh btw, and I bow my head in your (and now my) Gurudwara like any other sikh.
Dont keep the hate alive
P E A C E
White daughters-in-law don't help with housework? Are they all that bad? I'm Indian and I'm asking this. You want an Indian girl who stays with you and massages your legs when they are aching and respects you the way you want to respected, whatever the hell that means, then get a maid from Punjab. You just want a subservient doormat you can push around what else.
That's what I was thinking lol
I'm sorry to hear that assad. I wish you were treated better and not used as a scapegoat. It's totally unjust and not right. It is precisely such fucked up thinking that ruins people's happiness and the more we can stand up to it the better. The only way we can revolutionise thinking is by taking matters into our own hands sometimes.
I see that stuff on starplus xDDD but anyways i understand but its just the way things are! Its been going on for years so yeah
Assad Elfarouki Wow it's sad to hear such words even from our own family members, but yes you are right they will be be very difficult to change.
They are just living like back in the days where parents took care of their children and also their grandchildren. I dont c anything wrong in that case if they expect to be taken care of. We have become very selfish in todays day
IF WE THINK SIKH CULTURE IS REALLY GOOD ASK URSELF HOW GOOD WE R ,ONLY IDENTITY IS NOT ENOUGH,C WHR OUR RELIGION IS GOING,U BANANA PEOPLE,
Hinduism is based on two war mythologies of Ramayn and Mahabharat gita multiplied by superstitions thus inculcating a morbid violent mindset amongst Hindus. Sikhism promotes universal brotherhood, equality and justice for all.
Sure!
Keep the hate alive mate, good going! Read my other comments before saying the same things over and over.
Peace
Oh wadde angrejo, Punjabi v bol lao
It makes me wonder why these people are so stuck about their Indianess. I mean it is one thing to preserve one's heritage and quite another to cling to the nationality of forefathers. Being an Indian myself I am not so proud of these people building pockets of their own community and refusing to call themselves Australian.
But it does'nt stand true for all Sikh's though.
Good documentary, pathetic background music and could have been edited better.
