   http://www.akj.org/phorum/read.ppa?f=3&i=16759&t=16759 ------------------------------------ Author: Sonia Date: 05-03-04 22:57 Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh, I have been given a rare oppurtunity to work with a proffessor of mine on his book. He's writing the second addition to a book that deals with racism in America and he's adding a new section on 9/11. It will have inserts from middle easterners, Muslims, and indians but thus far no sardars/sardarni's. I spoke to my proffessor (the author) and he agrees that the voice of a turban wearing Sikh needs to be heard. So if you have an experience that you would like to share in a book please pleas…

   Why I quit eating meat

   GuruFatehJi it did not take anyone to put pressure on me to quit eating meat. eating meat has been the biggest confusion among sikhs and even amritdhari sikhs will stress on all sikhs that a sikh must be a vegeterian. i do not have the intention to say who is right and who is wrong in this debatable issue. i've never been a meat fan but i did not mind processed meat like hot dogs, meat sandwiches and all that. i used to love hot dogs and they are the ones that got me to quit eating non-vegeterian food altogether. it was one of those days when i stopped by a store to grab a hotdog and half way through eating it made me feel so horrible inside. all of a sudden, it tasted…

   Send a message to Raymond W. Kelly, Commissioner Police Department (NYPD) http://www.nyc.gov/html/mail/html/mailnypd.html NYPD'S RULES ON UNIFORMS End turban ban May 3, 2004 Amric Singh Rathour and Jasjit Singh Jaggi share more than name and religion. The devout Sikh men wanted to be New York City traffic agents so much that they sought legal redress to wear banned turbans with their uniforms. An administrative law judge ruled in Jaggi's favor last week, so it's time for the New York Police Department to accept that turban-wearing Sikhs won't compromise public safety while exercising their constitutionally protected right to religious expression. Jaggi quit after …

   Another film to diss the Sikhs 1 2

   GuruFatehJi. As if we haven't seen enough of those Bollywood movies taking the mickey out of the Sikhs, here's another in the making. http://www.b4utv.com/movies/newsbreak/04/0...0503mithun.html The title of the film suggests what it will probably be up to. We can either wait for the movie to be made and screened and add it to our list of disgust or wish on a miracle that Bollywood will not be up to it usual antics to cash in on at the expense of the Sikhs. Any guesses? :umm: L*

   http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/article...Punjab~for~Iraq Lessons from Punjab for US SWAMINOMICS/SWAMINATHAN S ANKLESARIA AIYAR [ SUNDAY, MAY 02, 2004 10:11:06 AM ] Osama bin Laden must be delighted with American quasi-imperialism in Iraq. Instead of quashing terrorism, the US has surely created more terrorists. This will worsen Islamic militancy in other countries, including India. Last week's Islamic uprising in southern Thailand is evidence of this. Next, Islamic militants in Iraq may hole up in the sacred shrines at Najaf and Karbala. Removing them will then be fraught with danger, as Sikh terrorist Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale demonstrated at the Golden Temp…

   vwihgurU jI kw Kwlsw! vwihgurU jI kI &iqh!! From first hand experience being addicted to watching bad movies on the internet in the past and then being addicted to chatting with people all night on MSN, everyday, and getting bad grades in school, and then being addicted to impulsive e-mail checking, I know from experience how the internet can ruin your Sikhi. Coming from this perspective, it hurts me when people are wasting time on Sikhsangat.com (or Sikhawareness or any other forum) not doing Sikh Sangat What I mean is that there are some threads where people post messages that have nothing to do with Sikhi - now I can understand jokes and I appreciate jokes.…

    Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh Sadh Sangat Ji, I have a question regarding Baba Deep Singh Ji's shaheedi. I have always seen Baba Deep Singh Ji's picture when he is fighting with his head on his palm and khanda in the other. But few months ago, I read in a book by Sikh Missionary College that Baba Deep Singh got a deep cut on his neck and it leaned to a side. He supported his head with one hand and kept fighting with the other hand. I have also read the same similar things online, such as on http://www.sikh-history.com/sikhhist/warri...riors/deep.html Yesterday I was talking to a guy who had links with Sikh Missionary College and he has done their 2 years…
