Vancouver International Butter Chicken

[DSguy]

Hello all,
I have been forced to write this post on behalf of the Sikh community. As a Sikh in Canada , I have been disgusted by the actions of VIBC, they have knowingly disrespected our culture and religion. It saddens me to say that the organizers of this event call themselves "Sikhs" and claim to preserve culture, yet they have completely ignored the 1984 Sikh genocide. These people knowingly, decided to celebrate and dance on the days that the world commemorates this genocide. This is a terrible and disgusting thing they have done.


VIBC leeches off the city of Vancouver claiming to preserve our culture, yet they are using the city's money to disgrace the Punjabi heritage. Organizers like Mandeep Patrola and Sukhi Ghuman, who claim to do such good for the community are at fault, and should be ashamed of themselves. You all have done an awful thing.

Three things sir:

1) Those are pretty big allegations & statements you're making against two individuals who you specifically called out in your post, yet your choose to remain unidentified??

2) Do you know what VIBC stands for? It's a BHANGRA dance/art celebration. It has nothing to do with the Sikh religion. Punjabi culture transcends just the Sikhs. No offense, but it seems that many Sikh followers have a tough time understanding this distinction as I see it constantly being brought up.

3) This is not the medium to voice your concerns about the DATES when a bhangra celebration is held. If you strongly feel that they should not held during the first 10 days or so of June when Operation Blue Star commenced & led to the Sikh massacre in 1984, then contact the organizers directly about altering the dates for next year. Arrangements for VIBC is planned WAY in advance, so you can't just expect people to shut it down or change dates last minute. If you want change, band together a group of supporters (who also feel as passionately as you about this date change), and discuss with the committee directly when they begin planning NEXT YEAR's event.

P.S. - I'm not affiliated with VIBC in any way, shape, or form.

"I have been forced to write this post on behalf of the sikh community" Lol ok...

Hi everyone! VIBC has already addressed the concerns that some members of the local Sikh community had regarding this issue and came together with local Sikh associations to address them. You can read their statement here: https://www.facebook.com/vancouverbhangra/posts/10153309262019564

Just as an FYI, I'm no longer part of VIBC since I have moved away from Vancouver but it still holds a special place in my heart so in result, I had to reply to this thread.

I love how this post went from VIBC being a disgrace to how Vancouverites put butter chicken on everything (we really do) LOL

 

[Romy]

I love that this thread turned into a thread about food but yes it's true!

Examples:

Butter Chicken Poutine at a fast food joint called New York Fries.

Tandoori Chicken Pizza:

and Butter Chicken Fettuccine at a Canadian restaurant chain called Boston Pizza:

More of a reason for all of you to visit Vancouver!
