Today I spoke with Rafal Zalewski of Polsat, one of Poland’s leading television networks, about the murder of Henry Nowak, whose family has Polish roots.
The discussion focused on justice for Henry, accountability for the police response, and concerns over how far right movements in the UK and across parts of Europe are seeking to exploit this tragedy to inflame tensions around race and identity.
One man’s crime must never become an excuse for hatred against entire communities. Will share the interview once it’s aired.

The brutal and dastardly murder of Henry Nowak is a horrific tragedy that deserves the strongest possible condemnation. Yet supremacist elements in the West are cynically exploiting this vile killing to advance their divisive and polarising agenda, inflaming tensions.

Sikhs in New Delhi held a memorial service for Henry Nowak, offering prayers for the 18-year-old British student and his family, and urging divisive forces across the Anglosphere not to use the tragedy to stigmatise the Sikh community or its sacred articles of faith.
ਨਵੀਂ ਦਿੱਲੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਸਿੱਖ ਸੰਗਤ ਨੇ ਹੈਨਰੀ ਨੋਵਾਕ ਦੀ ਯਾਦ ਵਿੱਚ ਕੀਰਤਨ ਸਮਾਗਮ ਕੀਤਾ, ਜਿਸ ਵਿੱਚ 18 ਸਾਲਾ ਬ੍ਰਿਟਿਸ਼ ਵਿਦਿਆਰਥੀ ਅਤੇ ਉਸਦੇ ਪਰਿਵਾਰ ਲਈ ਅਰਦਾਸ ਕੀਤੀ ਗਈ। ਇਸ ਮੌਕੇ ਸੰਗਤ ਨੇ ਵੰਡਪ੍ਰਸਤ ਤਾਕਤਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਅਪੀਲ ਕੀਤੀ ਕਿ ਉਹ ਇਸ ਦੁਖਾਂਤ ਨੂੰ ਸਿੱਖ ਕੌਮ ਜਾਂ ਉਸਦੇ ਪਵਿੱਤਰ ਕਕਾਰਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਬਦਨਾਮ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ ਨਾ ਵਰਤਣ।

Identity became spectacle. The spectacle boomeranged.
Henry Nowak’s murder thrust the Sikh diaspora into the crosshairs of the Anglosphere’s culture wars. Many in the community have yet to grasp how profoundly the ground has shifted beneath them.

Following Pope Leo’s encyclical on artificial intelligence, questions about AI’s spiritual and ethical dimensions are gaining global attention. Against this backdrop, PTC spoke with me in London about the growing concern within the Sikh community: the rise of AI-generated fake “Gurbani” and what it means for spirituality in general, and Sikh thought in particular.

What began as an investigation into fake “Gurbani” responses produced by AI chatbots has now reached discussions with the UK Government, at a time when Britain is helping shape the global direction of AI policy and regulation.
A conversation at Windsor with accomplished journalist Anmol Kaur on the issue.

UPDATE: AI FABRICATING “GURBANI” NOW RAISED WITH UK GOVERNMENT
Britain, as a leading voice on ethical technology and online regulation, carries significant influence in shaping how democratic societies respond to the global challenges posed by artificial intelligence.
Appreciative of Rt Hon Pat McFadden MP @patmcfaddenmp for formally conveying concerns we raised regarding AI-generated fabrication and distortion of Gurbani to the UK’s Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology.

A letter? A thought? Even your own name, outside a formal signature?

Big platform. Bigger conversation 🎙️
On BBC Radio, breaking down how AI is generating what looks like Gurbani — and why spiritual experience, in general, from human connection to machine output should concern all of us.
