I read this article on the Sikh making contributions overseas. But Sikh is a NAADI ROOP that is, the spiritual self of the person and not the physical or BINDI ROOP of the person.

This is a general trend to recognise a Sikh by his turban and beard even
though he has no knowledge of Sikhi.

To be a Sikh is not a joke as to be a Mussallmaan but the fakes are many.

Ch. Rajinder Nijjhar, M.Sc.
KOHRAYIAH Mussallmaan of Pir Nanak Shah,
With the grace of Allah, you acquire Al-Kitaab of Al-Islaam,
Gnostics are the living christs (satgurus) and NOT Christians, of Living
Allah (Spirit), Remember that to your Three "Gurus" mother, father and Pandit, you render
money, To your "Satguru" Nanak Dev Ji/Christ Jesus, you render your MUNN or "mind"
AND, To your "Sachae Paatshah" Gobind Singh Ji, you render your TANN or "physical
body" as sacrifice. SACH is bitter but it leads you to heaven whilst SATT is extremely bitter
but it leads you to ANAND/Salvation. Falsehoods or KOORRS are extremely sweet, MAKHAEON MITHHA, but they lead you to Hell.

Mr. Bindra's English story POORO highlights the hypocritical face of Indian society
...Karnail Singh Gyani- Philadelphia

Dear Dr. Rai Sahib,

Thanks for publishing Mr. Bindra's English story POORO.
This highlights the hypocritical face of Indian society.
I am glad the things are finally shaping up for the better, not only due to the daring write ups like this one,
but because of the economical conditions of the society, when both husband and wife have to go
to work to keep families going. And domestic service of any kind has become a
necessity.
The present day set up of maid servants ( BAIS) in India, specially in Delhi /Punjab is almost a revolution.
This reminds me of a poem I wrote, years ago, and I would like to share it with your readers.

The Untouchable Girl
Karnail Singh Gyani- Philadelphia

Again looking back, misty eyed,
She had a glimpse of the departing bride
From the neighboring village, with her princely groom,
Whose turban was adorned with pearls and plume.

She sobbed and heaved a profound sigh,
Yet no one was there to hear her cry.
For someone's love, she yearned so much,
'Would a knight of her dreams, come and touch
Her heart and soul full of desire?
Her rustic charm would he admire?'

Perhaps she knew her father's misery,
Who could never amass a huge dowry
To tint with henna his daughter's hands,
Who was pining to hear the wedding bands.

'Must she go on with her wretched life?
Or partake in the social strife?'

Deep inside her tender heart
A pain welled up to tear it apart,
"How did I become an object of scorn?
Why as untouchable was I born?"

Is the Standard of Punjabi Language deteriorating?
(Would you like to comment?...Likhari)

Before I left India in 1960, I used to be a very keen reader of Punjabi Literature. I had a few pieces published, as well, in Pritam published from New Delhi. A couple of my One-Act-Plays appeared in Punj Dariya but my essay on the Folk Songs of Himachal Pardesh had very good response from the readers of Panj Dariya and admiration from Prof. Mohan Singh. My Urdu and Punjabi writing lasted from 1950 to 1954 (I got married then)
After a neglect of Punjabi reading for about 35 years, I was pulled back towards the study of Punjabi Language through the aegis of Kalma Daa Kafla, Toronto. I was appalled to observe the downfall in the standard of the language. In the essays and the poetry, to some extent, it is still there. But in the writing of novels and stories, it has taken a worse turn. Dialogues and Conversations are the necessary part of any such endeavour and the local dialects are permissible and are frequently used. But the latest trend of writing prose using local and dialectical terms is going to deteriorate the STANDARDISATION OF PUNJABI LANGUAGE.
Mr. Kirpal Singh Pannu, the doyen of Punjabi Fonts, is devolving the Punjabi Web Dictionary. Would he be able to cope with all the words used in the prose, as mentioned above? Perhaps he can throw some light on the subject.
As a matter of fact Amrit Mann's "Vehli Teeveen" prompted me to write this piece. It is a nice story but in her prose writing she must distinguish between the "narration" and the "conversation." There are quite a few examples in Likhari itself. In the short stories by Kuljit Mann, Mangat, Sanghera, Gianai Karnail Singh one can easily find where the narration ends and where the dialogue begins..
Kartar Singh Duggals's first novel, AANDHRA is a typical example in this regard. He has used maximum amount of Puthohari Dialect; they are inside the quotes (""). But the narration of story is in very simple, attractive and standard Punjabi.
And this goes for the enormous amount of Punjabi Weeklies and (East) Punjabi Broadcasting media, too.
With due apologies,
Pritpal Singh Bindra
bindra@rogers.com [www.bindra.net]
P.S. I shall be looking forward to read the response from the writers mentioned above and, perhaps, others, too.

Rai Jee,

*****************************
The Sikh Way of Marriage

The Anand Marriage Act was not just an instrument which recognised the Sikh
way of solemnizing a marriage but it endowed an independent entity of Sikh
Nationhood to the Sikh Religion. In spite of the opposition from 'Arya
Samajists and Brahmin Priestly Classes,' it became an Act in 1909; they
actually, 'were anxious to prove that the Sikhs are but a sect of Hindus and
subject to Hindu Law.'
Although, the formulators of the new Constitution of India wanted to
eliminate this criterion, but they could not; they did not want to earn the
displeasure of "Sikh Thankfulls." They, very cleverly, achieved what their
predecessors could not, about half a century earlier and that too with the
connivance of their stooges in Sikh Hierarchy (although some of them refused
to sign in the beginning but the lure of enhanced personal status, they
did.)
To comprehend the issue in its right perspective we need to look into the
provisions of the Constitution of India with regard to the religions and the
minorities
Article 15 (2) states, `No citizen shall, on grounds only of religion, race,
caste, sex, place of birth or any of them, be subject to any disability,
liability, restriction or condition with regard to:-
"(a) access to shops, public restaurants, hotels, and places of
public entertainment; or
"(b) the use wells, tanks, bathing ghats, roads and places of public
resorts maintained wholly or partly out of State funds or dedicated to the
use of the general public."
Article 16 (2) mentions, "No citizen shall, on grounds only of
religion, race, caste, sex, descent, place of birth, residence or any of
them, be ineligible for, or discriminated against in respect of, any
employment of office under the state.......
"(5) Nothing in this article shall affect the operation of any law
which provides that the incumbent of an office in connection with the
affairs of any religious or denominational institution or any member of the
governing body thereof shall be a person professing a particular religion or
belonging to a particular denomination."
Articles 25 hypothesises, "(1) Subject to public order, morality and
health and to the other provisions of this Part, all persons are equally
entitled to freedom of conscience and the right freely to profess, practice
and propagate religion.
"(2) Nothing in this article shall affect the operation of any
existing law or prevent the State from making any Law-
"(a) regulating or restricting any economic, financial, political or
to the secular activity which may be associated with religious practice;
"(b) providing for social welfare and reform or the throwing open of
Hindu religious institutions of a public character to all classes and
sections of Hindu.
"Explanation I.- The wearing and carrying of kirpan shall be deemed
to be included in the profession of the Sikh religion.
"Explanation II. In sub-clause (b) of clause (2), the reference to
Hindu shall be construed as including a reference to persons professing the
Sikh, Jains or Budhist religion, and the reference to Hindu religious
institutions shall be construed accordingly."
Article 26 specifies, "Subject to public order, morality and health,
every religion denomination or any section thereof shall have the right-
(a) to establish and maintain institution for religious and
charitable purposes;
"(b) to manage its own affairs in matters of religion;
"(c) to own and acquire moveable and immoveable property; "and
"(d) to administer such property in accordance with law."
Article 28 pronounces. (1) "No religious instruction shall be
provided in any educational institution wholly maintained out of the State
funds."
Article 29, dealing with minorities says, "Any section of the
citizens residing in the territory of India or any part thereof having a
distinct language, script or culture of its own shall have the right to
conserve the same."
Articles 30 also deals with minorities, "(1) All minorities, whether
based on religion or language, shall have the right to establish and
administer educational institutions of their choice."
Article 329 specifies the election procedure, "There shall be one
general electoral roll for every territorial constituency for election...
and no person shall be ineligible for inclusion in any such roll or claim to
be included in any special electoral roll for any such constituency on
grounds only of religion, race, sex or any of them."
No doubt the Article 25 (2) (b) (leaving aside Explanations I and II) was
included to reward Dr. Ambedkar, and to woo the vote-banks held by the Late
Shri Jagjiwan Ram. A little addition to the Article 15 (2) (a) could have
easily served the purpose i.e. `access to shops, public restaurants, hotels,
places of public entertainment, the social and welfare reforms and religious
places of a public character.' (The steps to be taken in respect of the
protection and uplift of down-trodden low castes have been dealt under a few
other articles, any way)
All the Articles (except 25 (2) (b) along with the Explanations I
and II) relating to the religions apply universally; neither any religion is
given priority nor is demeaned. There is no specific mention of Sunnys,
Shaiyas, Catholics or Protestants.
The addition of Explanations I and II was an intelligent, subtle and
clandestine move of the Hindu-mind at the helm of the power. Particularly
for the Sikhs the policy of carrot and stick emerged with this; whereas the
Sikhs, with shallow thinking, were pleased with the Explanation I, they
never fathomed the clever intention of making them a part of Hinduism. They
were, as a matter of fact, reprimanded, "Forget your `Ham Hindu Nahin'."
(Reading this Bhai Kahan Singh Nabha's soul must be in agony).
Only a few, who were intelligent enough, comprehended the writing in
between the lines and refused to acquiesce to the contents of the
Explanation II at the time. But, unfortunately, even those were swayed by
the temporal gains at the end. The Sikhs along with Jains and Budhists are
made a part of Hindu religion, and their independent ideologies are
decimated.
So far as the Jains and the Budhists, particularly the Jains, are
concerned they have accepted this disgraceful anomaly and have, willingly,
obscured there own independent doctrines; their participation at the Hindu
ritualistic milieus, such as deities worship, Havanas, Arya Samajic
Activities, Goddess Pooja, etcetera is very much prevalent.
But for the Sikhs to accept the `Explanation II' was not only
detrimental, but also humiliating; it eliminated the Sikhs ever claiming an
independent entity let alone a Nation-hood. It demeans all the efforts
rendered and sacrifices made by Guru Gobind Singh to create a Sikh Nation.
And now coming back to the issue of Marriage, the Article 25 is
quite specific: ... "... the reference to Hindu shall be construed as
including a reference to persons professing the Sikh, Jains or Budhist
religion, and the reference to Hindu religious institutions shall be
construed accordingly."
So long as Explanation II is there, we are bound by Hindu Code Bill and our
marriages are recognizable under the same.

Trivia about Life - Did you know...
Suppose the average human life in today's world is not more than 60 years.
If you analyse the break-up of activities associated with these 60 years of
your life, you can see that it more or less matches with the following:

12 Years in Working
22 Years in Sleeping
04 Years in Routine Travelling
05 Years in Eating
03 Years in Bathing, Dressing etc...
06 Years in Useless Chatting, Gossip
04 Years in Sickness & Illness

Balance ? Only 4 Years

Our only question to one and all is, why should mankind think, involve in
activities that result in sufferings, terror, hatred, fighting, killings
etc... in the short span of 4 years left to them. It needs to be utilized in
a better way by doing all good things, helping others and thanking God for
the opportunity given to us in being a human being... Live and Let Live.
Dr. Amarjit Tanda from Australia writes.
