Guwahati, Friday, April 11, 2003 EDITORIAL Secularism and the Constitution of India Stuti Deka “We the people of India having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a (sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic, republic) ... and give to ourselves this Constitution”. The framers of the Constitution had never used the word ‘secular’ in our Constitution. The term has been incorporated in the Constitution of India by the 42nd Amendment Act 1976. Though the word ‘secular’ was not specifically mentioned in our parent document, the objects of secularism have been enshrined in the Articles 25 to 28 of the Constitution i.e., right to freedom of religion under the Fundamen…

It records nearly a lakh female foeticides every year, writes Manraj Grewal http://indianexpress.com/full_story.ppa?co...=41103&spf=true EVERY year in Punjab about one lakh girls die before they are born. This is not a figment of an alarmist imagination but the level-headed calculation of a senior Punjab bureaucrat who has written a book on the subject. Anurag Aggarwal has got this figure from simple mathematics. ‘‘With a gross birth rate of 3 per cent, Punjab should see 7.5 lakh births every year—3.5 lakh females and an equal number of males.…

The following scene took place on a BA flight between Johannesburg and London. A white woman, about 50 years old, was seated next to a black man. Obviously disturbed by this, she called the air Hostess. "Madam, what is the matter"?, the hostess asked. "You obviously do not see it then"?, she responded. "You placed me next to a black man. I do not agree to sit next to someone from such a repugnant group. Give me an alternative seat". "Be calm please", the hostess replied. "Almost all the places on this flight are taken. I will go to see if another place is available". The Hostess went away and then came back a few minutes later. "Madam, just as I thought, there are no othe…

* Why folks are cutting their hair and what should we do to bring them back to Sikhi? As Sikhs we are very fortunate we have been given an identity and code of conduct that is so perfectly clear and defined that there is no question that who we are or what we stand for. Sikhs today, particularly Sikhs that come to the west where there is little or no knowledge or respect for who we are, come under tremendous pressure to blend in and adopt the identity and practices of the social environment at hand. Too many Sikhs when faced with this sometimes extreme social pressure are not secure enough in their own spiritual identity and personal strength, and they become int…

We have started a petition drive to President Bush to withdraw/amend the State Dept. video "Terrorism: A War without Borders", in which Sikhs were called terrorists in the segment of 1984 Golden temple attack. You can go to the petition by clicking on the link in our web page "www.passionfortruthtv.com" Please sign that petition and ask your friends and other contacts to do so and circulate this petition to others through your resources. Here is an other news item I read in Sikh Sentinel. It is reassuring that Democratic candidate for the Presidency of USA, has clarified his statement. But the amended statement is still not satisfactory. We must send e-mails to h…

Khalsa Jeeo, aapda daas hajaar he jee, i was just thinking for a while back about Khalsa and whether we are just a common 'warrior' tribe, just like the great Samurais or Mongolians who still live by their shastar vidija? Is Khalsa "just" some warrior caste that protects Bharat/India from its enemies. Khalsa jee, i was wondering. You are the Khalsa, you know best. tell me if i am not the track. what i found out is; the Samurai fights and serves the King/Caesar. its aim is to protect the nation and its King so to have peace and harmony. Similarlly, various warrior tribes and castes have been protecting people from their enemies. Now Khalsa IS unique, because a Khals…
