Introduction: Part 9 of Talking to London is here. We really are taking it to another level from this interview going forward. I sat down with Sukhraj aka Sikh Talk to talk about injustice and what we are facing at the moment. We touch on a number of topics including capitalism, socialism, justice and minorities amongst other discussion points. It must be said that Sikh Talk is ultimately about seeking peace, returning power to the people and working towards a equal society. Such issues touch on pretty much ever aspects of our lives, and he takes his time to share his videos and relate them to what is current now. Certain videos will be resonating with people for a longtime. It really is best to listen to this guy and feel his passion. The interview below is scattered with many of his content produced this year (2016). Let me and Sikh Talk know what you think. Enjoy. Peace & Love.

Interview Highlights

23 seconds: So, yeah I’m Sukh. I go by Sikh Talk online. Talking about social justice, people power. Talk about human rights and talk about general politics that should concern every single one of us.

45 seconds: I’m born and raised in Slough. Spent my whole life in Slough. Spent three years in Coventry where I was doing my degree and I spent the last year in London when I was doing my second degree. So I’m in and out of London all the time. But I’m born and raised in Slough.

1:25 min: From birth it comes down to being born brown. Being born brown in Britain you”re only going against the tide you know. All the forces are against you the moment you’re born because of the colour of your skin. Because the way your name is spelt. When the teachers saying your name differently in the register. Or when people treat you differently because of your colour. Or when be wanna try to address you because of your culture. You’re always alienated, you’re always treated differently. When you’re treated differently, that’s when you draw a dividing line about how people are separated in society. So just the fact about being born brown in a white society, that really kinda spells it out, that you always gotta be up against something different. Against others forces that are going against you on every single turn. Whether it’s a job, whether it’s pay, whether it’s education, whether it’s school, whether it’s sports, whether it’s athletics. Everything, you name it. You’re grinding harder, you’re gonna have to graft a lot harder to compensate because of the colour of your skin. Or compensate because of your name. Compensate because of your heritage. Compensate because of your of where you come from and where your mum and dad were born.

3 min: Last I started writing. Last year I started filming. Last year I started recording and I started becoming my own media source. So I really started to appreciate the power, the influence that I had.. the way I can shape a message, the way I can shape a narrative to conform to a certain agenda. That’s when I really appreciated the fact, you know what I’ve control here of people’s minds, I’ve got control hear of peoples way of thinking and I can change can it and manipulate it anyway I can. But obviously because I wanna represent our interest, because I wanna represent our struggles, I will do that on the most level, fair and just message I can. I wanna represent the struggle of our ancestors.

4 min: Hang on why is the media always blaming a Lithuanian builder for a certain rape. Or why is it always a Pakistani person that had an issue in school. What does their race have to do with it? What does their ethnic being have to do with it?

5:28 min: Representation. Yeah, representation. Democracy and our current Western political systems, are systems of representation. If we don’t provide a fair representation then we’re only doing an injustice to ourselves in this political system.

6:32 min: Minorities is not a numbers game.  When you think of minorities, do you think?… It’s not  a numbers games, it’s a powers game… It’s about how much power and influence you have in this country.

7:07 min: You can really judge a political framework, a political system yeah, or a government, you can really judge them on values, on the way they treat their minorities.

8:00 min: Social injustice meaning, when you don’t give someone the fair distribution rights, resources and opportunities, and power and wealth.

9:50 min: You can treat people equally, but that doesn’t mean you’re treating people fairly.

11:00 min: The way you be a fair and just society is how you compensate for people losing out.

11:52 min: Tax policies, that really sets the bar for social justice. If you look at how people want to define their tax policies, that really tells you where we stand as a society.

15:00 min: So when the wealth is unfairly being distributed, when it’s trickling towards the top 1%, leaving the 99% to fight for a lot less. That’s a social injustice. When some people have more rights in society than others. That’s a social injustice. When other people have got more opportunities than others. That’s a social injustice.

17:09 min: Minorities is a power game, not a numbers game. It’s a powers game.

20:19 min: It’s a social injustice when you’re not investing back into your community. The same community that works for you. The same community that sweats, blood, sweat and tears for you.

21:41 min: I genuinely care because I can see past the bullshit. I can see past the consumerism. I can see past marketing. I can see past all this kind of cloud.

23:45 min: You can really judge a government on how they compensate for those people who really lose out.

25:15 min: Global justice. And it goes back to the same four five principles. The fair distribution of rights, resources, opportunities, power and wealth. The same thing that’s happening in our society is happening global scale.

26:12 min: All those people that have more are in the Northern hemisphere, and all the people who has less are in the Southern hemisphere. When the actual fact of all those things should be an equal and fair just society.

27:34 min: Public narrative, political discourse is power.

29:33 min: Every system. Every system whether it’s political, whether it’s media, whether it’s corporation. Every system has threats…

31:00 min: To provide a fair representation of the objective reality of your situation, or your reality.

32:18 min: There are people who constantly lose out on any way a story is told. What we should do is compensate and provide a fair and balanced. And fight for those people losing out. Right now the people who lose out the most in the media are, black people and Muslim people. They’re the two communities right now that are being targeted and victimised by the media.

37min: When you call someone an expat, and you call someone a migrant that’s unequal distribution…. it’s about social acceptance…that’s how you can dehumanise someone.

39:51 min: He (Corbyn) stands up for all the minorities. And that goes for white British working class to. They’re the economic minorities.

42:45 min: Every system has a treat. And the way you deal with that threat… you eliminate the cause or you control the effects. The two things you do about a threat. He’s (Corbyn) a threat to the system. Threat to the establishment. He’s a threat to imperialism. That’s why they wanna eliminate him or control his effects. Who’s his effects? The people! Who’s his agents of representation? The people! Who’s his power, where’s all his power invested in? The people! That’s why they wanna control your thoughts. That’s why they wanna control the way your vote swings. That’s why they wanna shift the media to say he’s a bad guy. Because they’re attacking you.

45:06 min: This capitalist society , this capitalist culture is all about incentivising peoples way of climbing up the change…. It’s saying hey, it’s a dog eat dog world, and the better you are, the more wealth you have… there you go, you become successful, you deserve more because you are more successful, even though it’s at the cost of, exploitation of the weak and more vulnerable in society.

47:45 min: The greatest constraint, the greatest thing that can control capitalism, the great thing that can achieve justice right now is socialism. Because you have socialism which says hey, you gotta treat people that you’re screwing over, you gotta treat them fairly… you can’t have unfettered markets. Which means you can’t let anyone just do anything.

50:01 min: My personal mission is to control capitalism. To say look, we’ve gotta trackback to the left and we need a radical left movement at the moment. That’s what Corbyn is. Exactly why we need Corbyn right now.

50:45 min: Essentially what I’m trying to do right now is to empower people against the system through socialism. That’s our weapon right there. That our arms. Our call to arms. You know, we’ve gotta control capitalism. We gotta control marketeers. We gotta control neo-liberalism. We can’t let it get out of control. We gotta let it stop robbing our brothers and sisters in the southern hemisphere. We gotta stop it robbing the working class. We gotta stop it from exploiting everyone.

53:05 min: There’s a chain of causation here and that’s why I refuse to blame anyone that is suffering, because I know they suffer for a reason.
