AlistairNARRATOR
Consider, by way of specific illustration, the administration of Lord Dalhousie as Governor-General of India from 1848 to 1856.
AlistairNARRATOR
Hardly had he arrived at his post when two Englishmen were murdered in the Sikh kingdom of Punjab in western India, and the Sikhs arose in arms against the British.
AlistairNARRATOR
What could Dalhousie do but organize a strong army of sepoys, hired native soldiers, under British officers, with a few British troops, and subjugate the kingdom and annex it, and thereby earn for himself a step higher in the peerage from Earl to Marquess? Or when the King of Burma, to the east of British India, insulted the British flag by stopping British merchant vessels, could Dalhousie do otherwise than punish such insolence and annex part of Burma? Footnote.
AlistairNARRATOR
The actual outbreak of the war occurred more by accident than by design, in the words of Vincent A. Smith, Oxford History of India, page 702.

AlistairNARRATOR
To be sure, the core of India is Hindu.
AlistairNARRATOR
The two hundred and seventeen million Hindus form a majority in most of the provinces and two-thirds of the total population.
AlistairNARRATOR
But on the outskirts of India there are eleven million Buddhists in Burma, three million Sikhs in Punjab, twenty-five million Muslims in eastern Bengal, and eleven millions in Punjab.
AlistairNARRATOR
Worse, there are millions of Muslims scattered all through India, traditionally hostile to the Hindus, into whose midst they originally came as conquerors, to remain in some states as rulers, in others as oppressed minorities.

Francesca FiorentiniHOST
I mean.
Francesca FiorentiniHOST
that we're still dealing with today, frankly, and we'll get into the mayor of New York, but just naming that as a 20-year-old student, being told that you were responsible is pretty wild and awful, and you're not alone.
Francesca FiorentiniHOST
And so many Muslims, Sikhs, anyone who looked different, right, brown, like they were, also targeted sometimes incredibly violently with that kind of hate after 9-11.
Francesca FiorentiniHOST
And the reason we're talking about it on this day is because it has been 25 years.
Francesca FiorentiniHOST
I wrote, don't do the math, but I wrote an article at the 10-year anniversary of And it was called like Childhood Lost and Found or something like this.
SupreetAUDIENCE
... or, you know, even George W. Bush at the time, uh, yes, there is that real fear, and we have to protect our countries, and we have to protect our people.
SupreetAUDIENCE
But it becomes so easy after an event like that to create an us-and-them dynamic, so much to, so much so to the point where even within South Asian communities, I remember Sikhs and Hindus trying to make it very clear that they were not Muslim-
James O'BrienHOST
Yeah
SupreetAUDIENCE
... because they were so afraid of what impact it could have on them.
James O'BrienHOST
Yeah
SupreetAUDIENCE
... or even may.
SupreetAUDIENCE
But suddenly does this change the relationship that the British Sikhs have with the rest of the, the British communities?
James O'BrienHOST
And, and, and again, not just Sikhs.
David StarkeyGUEST
So I wonder whether a new notion of the establishment of the three Abrahamic faiths formally, that Charles has virtually instituted it, if you look, What happened during his coronation? There were actual invented rituals given to the chief rabbi.
David StarkeyGUEST
I suppose one would include Hinduism, to Hinduism, to Sikhism and whatever.
David StarkeyGUEST
All of these people.
David StarkeyGUEST
were given a role within the coronation, much less prominent than the role of the Archbishop of Canterbury, but still a role.
Jeanne IvesHOST
Now, there was an amendment.
Jeanne IvesHOST
that added that this history of different faith practices can include Jewish, Christian, Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, and any other collective community of faith.
Jeanne IvesHOST
So they did add an amendment there, but it started out as simply Muslims because they want the power.
Jeanne IvesHOST
So here to talk about that, because she knows a lot more about it because she's worked in the education establishment for quite a few years, is Lori Higgins.
JillHOST
a country that we knew we could be.
JillHOST
But instead of doing that, you have people falling in line like CBS News, who decided to do a piece yesterday talking about New York City's Muslim and Sikh communities reflecting on facing stigmas and prejudice after the 9-11 terror attacks.
JillHOST
You didn't interview the families.
JillHOST
You didn't do a piece on all the brave people that were on those planes like Todd Beamer and Jeremy Glick.
48 MINS LATER
Rick StacyHOST
CBS.
JillHOST
CBS decided it would be a good idea to do a whole piece.
JillHOST
on Muslims and Sikhs that have had issues ever since 9-11.
JillHOST
It was called like the effects of 9-11 and basically not the people that suffered in the city, not the people that lost family members or had people that were first responders that are still suffering some health issues, but decided that it was people of the Muslim community and how they were targeted after 9-11.
