UK panel race report fails to recognize institutional discrimination against Sikhs’

The Sikh Federation (UK) on Thursday termed the Commission’s report on race and ethnic disparities released a day earlier by the British government as “extremely disappointing” and “a whitewash”. “As far as we are concerned, institutional discrimination exists and has been further exposed during the epidemic [of Covid 19],” the Sikh Federation said in a statement, “We have responded to the consultation, but the report has many specific concerns related to the Sikh community.” Failed to accept the issues. ” The 258-page report of the commission set up by PM Boris Johnson following the Black Lives Matter protests in Britain said: “Simply put, we no longer see Britain where the system deliberately rigged against ethnic minorities Have gone Obstacles and inequalities exist, they are diverse, and ironically, very few of them are directly associated with racism.

Very often ‘racism’ is a catch-all exaggeration, And can only be explicitly accepted rather than explicitly scrutinized. Talking over the phone to The Indian Express, Sikh Federation (UK) principal adviser Davinderjit Singh said that the report factored more than 2,000 responses, including 325 from various organizations, including his organization. “Institutional discrimination continues with members of the Sikh community. Through this report, the Boris Johnson Government has given itself a clean chit, ignoring the concerns raised by us. “Twenty years after 9/11, Sikhs are still viewed with suspicion.” Referring to the epidemic and members of the Sikh community coming forward in large numbers for vaccination, Dabinderjit said, “According to official figures in Britain, 87 percent of Sikhs came forward and 58 percent were black, compared to 87 percent of Sikhs for Kovid vaccination. Population.

” “Institutional discrimination against Sikhs continues to be unrecognized and non-addressed, including discrimination against Sikhs as reinforced by the Census 2010. Despite the responses of the Sikh community, there is no mention of the community in the report, although we are a largely recognized ethics as well as religious group.

The majority (62%) reported suffering some form of racism at work, and 59% felt they had been denied opportunities for some time due to racism or unconscious bias.

“The report states,” However, as mentioned in the first chapter, The Commission has also heard the overwhelming view that there has been a dynamic change in the attitude of police in race over the last few decades. Issues of cultural change and commitment to promote fair police service were emphasized by all senior officials who were associated with the commission. Nevertheless, how police are believed to be shaped by a small minority whose prejudiced behavior attracts media attention. The Commission noted that senior officers could appropriately approve or take action on such behavior, these examples not only affecting public perception of policing, but also choosing potential individuals to pursue a career with policing.
