Baltej Dhillon is a retired career police officer, a community leader, and a lifelong advocate for diversity and inclusion. Emigrating from Malaysia in 1983, Mr. Dhillon made history in 1991 as the first Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) officer to wear a turban, advocating for the right to practice his faith while serving Canada. Mr. Dhillon went on to have a successful 30‑year career with the RCMP as an accomplished major crime investigator, police interrogator, polygraph examiner, intelligence officer, and emergency planner. He played a key role in several high-profile investigations, including the Air India Flight 182 tragedy and the Robert Pickton case. Mr. Dhillon also held various leadership roles, including overseeing the British Columbia RCMP Divisional Emergency Operations Centre and the federal Serious and Organized Crime's Intelligence section, also in British Columbia, as well as establishing and managing intelligence operations at the Provincial Intelligence Centre of British Columbia (now the Real-Time Operations Centre of British Columbia), the first of its kind in Canada. In 2013, Mr. Dhillon led the Sikh Leadership and Police Committee on Gang Violence to support youth prevention strategies within the Sikh Community. Since retiring from the RCMP in 2019, he has worked as Program Manager for the Crime Guns Intelligence and Investigations Group with the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of British Columbia, the province's anti-gang agency. Mr. Dhillon is also deeply involved in community service. He serves on various committees and has led youth camps. He has received numerous distinctions and awards, including the Lifetime Achievement Award from The Times of Canada, the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal, the Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Medal, and the RBC Top 25 Canadian Immigrant Award.

MICHAEL HERBERT talks about THE CHANGES First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on January 12th 2025. Way back in 1974, children's television legend ANNA HOME, as part of her commitment to producing challenging and interesting drama serials intended for older children, wrote an adaptation of a trilogy of books written by PETER DICKINSON (The Weathermonger, Hartsease, and The Devil's Children) which turned out to be one of those TV serials that somehow, with its powerful images of a country descending into chaos, managed to sear itself into the minds of a generation. Produced for the BBC, and broadcast in 1975 across ten episodes that were each just shy of half an hour in length, and mostly filmed on locations across the south west of England, THE CHANGES took the basic stories told in those three books, turned them on their heads, made one character the centre of each, and made a compelling drama that found many schoolchildren dashing home to watch the next episode, and involving themselves in fascinated conversations about it in the playground the next day. Or maybe that was just me and my mates. Who knows? Nevertheless, opening with scenes of wanton destruction of all sorts of vehicles, domestic equipment, and entertainment devices, as humanity both young and old was influenced into destroying all the mechanical objects that were taking over our lives, and destroying our planet, the series in many ways resembles other post-apocalyptic dramas as Britain swiftly reverts to a feudal society full of mistrust, fear of outsiders, and superstition. NICKI GORE, played by then nineteen-year old VICTORIA WILLIAMS, and later on, her friend JONATHON, played by KEITH ASHTON, embark on a quest to find the source of these apocalyptic CHANGES and try to restore humanity back towards its way to civilisation. On their way NIKKI is helped by members of the SIKH COMMUNITY in a very progressive take on the outsider for seventies TV, and hindered by the kind of sinister personalities that always seem to rise to the top when civilisation collapses. And whilst some of the stories may resemble a kind of SURVIVORS-LITE for the children's hour, and some of the storylines do, perhaps, stretch your credulity when watching them as an adult, much of what they have to say tells us of the types of prejudices and problems that lie just beneath the surface of 1970s Britain, many of which still feel rather familiar today. This series with its many very forward thinking images seared itself into our imaginations, and TV historian MICHAEL HERBERT - who is very much a fan of television science-fiction - returns to VISION ON SOUND today to discuss the series with me.

On Sunday mornings, women gather at the Guru Nanak Sikh Temple in Woolgoolga, New South Wales, to pray and cook food for their community. They sing these devotional songs to bless the food they make. These songs came from the first langar (community kitchen of a place of worship) in India, which began in 1469.  

Over five hundred years ago, Guru Nanak, the founder of the Sikh religion, was born. The CBC's Nabila Qureshi sat down with Diljeet Kaur, a member of the local Sikh community in St. John's, to find out more about Guru Nanak Gurpurab and its significance.

Kirat ist Anfang 30, Radiomoderatorin in London, lebensfroh, sozial und hat es mit einer ernsten Beziehung nicht besonders eilig. Bis Bobby in ihr Leben tritt, ein gutaussehender Arzt und ebenfalls Teil der indischen Sikh-Community. Das heißt: Er tritt nicht wirklich in ihr Leben, die beiden schreiben sich online. Aber schnell entwickelt sich eine Freundschaft mit Fragezeichen – denn Bobby ist verheiratet und erwartet ein Baby. Als er sich irgendwann scheiden lässt, ist Kirat – online – an seiner Seite. Auch, als er irgendwann wieder heiratet. Auch, als er irgendwann ein schweres Unglück erlebt. Acht Jahre lang ist Kirat im Herzen bei Bobby. Aber irgendwann stellt sich die Frage: Wie wirklich ist Bobby wirklich? *** Instagram *** Folgt Weird Crimes auch auf Instagram @weirdcrimes_podcast und bleibt auf dem Laufenden!

The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse has published its final report. One of the key recommendations is for mandatory reporting of child sex abuse, even if that abuse is disclosed to a priest in a confessional. So, what are the implications for those churches with a confessional tradition where confidentiality is sacrosanct? William speaks to bishop Paul Mason, the lead on safeguarding for the Catholic Church in England and Wales. The Sikh community kitchens known as ‘Langar' are coming under pressure in the current cost of living crisis. As energy and fuel prices continue to rise, so does the demand for free food. Our reporter Nina Robinson visited a Gurdwara in Coventry to see how they are coping as they prepare to feed more than five thousand people over Diwali. The theologian, poet and former archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Rowan Williams has gathered together one hundred poems from the last one hundred years which explore the themes of faith and belief, in ‘A Century of Poetry'. He discusses with William how can poetry help us in our spiritual journeys. And as the Conservative Party get set to appoint a replacement to Liz Truss as the next prime minister, William considers whether the notion of the common good has been lost in the melee of competitive politics, with Daniel Greenberg, the newly appointed Parliament commissioner for standards, Ann Widdecombe, former MP and Dr Alan Smith, bishop of St. Albans and convenor of the Lords Spiritual Producers: Jill Collins and Louise Clarke-Rowbotham Editor: Helen Grady

“Sweet Bobby is a live, multi-part investigation in search of one of the world's most sophisticated catfishers. It's a story about who we are online, and how social media can be weaponised as a tool of abuse and coercion.“If you didn't know what “catfishing” is, Sweet Bobby will be an extremely strange introduction to the world of online deception and fake identities.Kirat is the victim of catfishing in this real-life story from Tortoise Media's Alexi Mostrous, with her cousin Simran emerging years after it started as the unlikely perpetrator.It's a complex and often unsettling tale, which Alexi navigates cleverly to make sure some of the key voices in the story are heard, including those of Kirat and the real Bobby (rather than the fake Bobby who manipulated Kirat's life for years).The podcast has won plaudits across the mainstream media, being featured regularly in “Best New Podcast” lists. Accolades it fully deserves.In his interview for this episode of MetaPod, Alexi explains how his investigation evolved and gives his opinion on many of the complex aspects of the case.

Today, Jennie describes the contribution of the Sikh community within India, and globally. During Australian droughts, floods, and bushfires it comes in the most practical way possible  - cooking up large quantities of vegetarian food in the face of storms - to aid the needy and those affected by natural disasters. This practical support is given freely, without any expectation of the quid pro quo that so often accompanies the work of some other charitable aid. Listen on for Jennie's insights into the Sikh Community's practical contribution during those hard, stormy times.

The Sikh charity group has been handpicked as the 2020 finalists for their tireless work towards rehabilitating communities during the bushfire crisis and providing cooked meals and free grocery kits to COVID impacted people in South Australia and Victoria.

Australia’s Sikh community has urged the New South Wales government to lift its ban on carrying the kirpan (a dagger carried by baptised Sikhs) in public schools. This decision was taken following the alleged stabbing by a 14-year-old Sikh student in a Sydney School earlier this month. - ਆਸਟ੍ਰੇਲੀਅਨ ਸੂਬੇ ਨਿਊ ਸਾਊਥ ਵੇਲਜ਼ ਵੱਲੋਂ ਸਕੂਲਾਂ 'ਚ ਕਿਰਪਾਨ 'ਤੇ ਪਾਬੰਦੀ ਦੇ ਫੈਸਲੇ ਉੱਤੇ ਨਾਰਾਜ਼ਗੀ ਜ਼ਾਹਿਰ ਕਰਦਿਆਂ ਆਸਟ੍ਰੇਲੀਅਨ ਸਿੱਖ ਐਸੋਸੀਏਸ਼ਨ, ਗਲੈੱਨਵੁਡ ਵੱਲੋਂ 50 ਤੋਂ ਵੀ ਵੱਧ ਸਿੱਖ ਜਥੇਬੰਦੀਆਂ ਨਾਲ਼ ਮਿਲਕੇ ਸਾਂਝਾ ਉੱਦਮ ਕੀਤਾ ਜਾ ਹੈ ਜਿਸ ਤਹਿਤ ਸਰਕਾਰ ਨੂੰ ਇਸ ਸਬੰਧੀ ਫੈਸਲਾ ਵਾਪਿਸ ਲੈਣ ਲਈ ਆਖਿਆ ਜਾ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ।

TW: mentions of genocide, suicide, abuse and rape. This episode is in response to the ongoing farmer protest in India where farmers, and everyone in support, are protesting against the new agricultural bills proposed by the Indian government which seeks to privatise the sector in a bid to boost income from agriculture. The protests are important because they depict two issues: 1) the economy and profits constantly being put before farmer livelihoods and 2) the usage of undemocratic measures by the Indian government in response to public backlash, highly ironic to India's title of being the "largest democracy in the world".However, these series of events are not just about farmers and the Indian agrarian crisis, these events have shone a light on the prolonged oppression and marginalisation of the Sikh community, particularly because Sikhs have been leading the protests that are now becoming nationwide. It's evident that the Indian government is still bigoted to the Sikh community, despite the dark history of Sikh genocide that the Indian government fails to be held accountable to.Therefore, it's crucial that every Indian and non-Indian helps support Indian farmers, particularly Sikh farmers, by raising awareness, supporting farmer/Sikh organisations and doing their own research to understand the history of conflict between people and bodies of power in India.
