Profiles in Public Interest: Jaskaran Kaur '03 Starts From Scratch

By: Andrea Saenz

Issue date: 1/19/06 Section: News

Job: Executive Director, ENSAAF, a start-up non-profit organization that focuses on human rights violations in India, including torture, disappearances, and extrajudicial executions of Sikhs in the state of Punjab. "Ensaaf" means "justice" in several South Asian languages.

HLS resume: Was on the Human Rights Journal. Did summer work at the Center for Constitutional Rights and fieldwork on disappearances in Punjab, India. Kaur points out, "The Human Rights Summer Fellowship changed my life by giving me the opportunity to go abroad, conduct documentation work, and see first-hand the realities lived by people who have suffered serious human rights violations."

The daily grind: Being in charge of a new two-person non-profit means there is no typical day at ENSAAF. Defines programs and projects, organizes studies, writes reports on human rights abuses, articles, and legal briefs, interviews torture survivors, manages volunteers, and stays connected through community events and coordination with other human rights organizations. "The work does not get boring; I am constantly learning how to stretch my skills in the legal field and beyond."

Beyond doc review: Jaskaran and co-founder Sukman Dhami report to no one; they run the entire operation and are wholly responsible for ENSAAF's direction, funding, and results. Despite little experience managing an organization, they're making use of networks of support: "We've found that seasoned human rights activists, lawyers and academics are always willing to provide guidance and feedback."

The human connections are the most rewarding part of the work for Jaskaran, including meeting with survivors struggling with medical and health problems who still open their homes, kitchens, and wallets to advance the organization's fight. "Their struggle to reconstruct their lives after suffering so many losses has helped give perspective and meaning to my life. Their generosity is humbling." Jaskaran even has the opportunity to "stretch her skills" with children in the communities she serves: "I spent last Thanksgiving playing Twister with 6-year old twins whose parents each lost a sibling to extrajudicial executions. This year, we move onto Charades."

Money matters: Both Jaskaran and Sukman had fellowships that supported them for the first couple years after graduation. Since they spent the first year or and a half developing strong programs and respect among lawyers, activists, and torture survivors, fundraising wasn't the first priority. Jaskaran is honest about the challenges: "The financial aspect of the work is the hardest. Now, as we're working to raise funds from the community and foundations, neither of us receives a salary. We hope this will change in a few months."

Jaskaran's advice for students: "1Ls should definitely use their first summer to explore something exciting that they would not ordinarily do. It won't hurt their future chances at law firms or public interest groups."

i agree with jaspaul singh having seen it myself in india few times.... ...india is not what we generally think it is or what our parents say it is (back inteh day when they still lived there).

anyway, i juz saw this article on tribune, kind of relevant if we're thinking bout whats being done in india to promote sikhi or what the SGPC is doing. Anyone know more about this "Singh Sajo Lehar?"

Over 8,000 baptised under Singh Sajo Lehar

Tribune News Service

Bathinda, January 29

More than 8,000 persons were today baptised under the SGPC’s Singh Sajo Lehar at Baba Dall Singh Deewan Hall of Takht Sri Damdama Sahib in Talwandi Sabo in the presence of jathedars of four takhts of Sikhs.

Akal Takht Jathedar Joginder Singh Vedanti urged all persons, who had been baptised at the programme, to follow the Sikh tenets and the path shown by Sikh gurus.

In his message, the SGPC chief, Mr Avtar Singh, conveyed his gratitude to all SGPC members of the area for making this programme a grand success. He said participation of people in large numbers pointed to an overwhelming response to the Singh Sajo Lehar. Social evils prevalent in society today could only be eliminated after being baptised, he added.

Under the Singh Sajo Lehar, the SGPC has baptised 1,100 persons in Muktsar, 2,100 in Shri Chohla Sahib, and 1,400 persons in Gurdaspur. A similar programme would also be organised at Gurdwara Manji Sahib Alamgeer on January 31.

The SGPC has set a target of baptising 1.25 lakh people to mark the tercentenary of the installation of Guru Granth Sahib and 400th martyrdom anniversary of Guru Arjan Dev. The drive is aimed at uprooting apostasy among the Sikh youth and sensitising them on Sikh philosophy.

Takht Sri Damdama Sahib Jathedar Balwant Singh Nandgarh said another Amrit Sanchar programme would be held at the Takht on Baisakhi.

Takht Sri Keshgarh Sahib Jathedar Tarlochan Singh, Takht Sri Patna Sahib Jathedar Iqbal Singh and Head Granthi of Harmandir Sahib, Amritsar, Gyani Gurbachan Singh were also present.

i'm curious, you guys have any program booked between last 2 weeks of july and first week of august?

Renown Dhadi Dya Singh 'Dilbar' passes away

Sunday 29th January, 2006

Panthic Weekly News Bureau

Nawa Shehar (KP) – Gyani Dya Singh Dilbar who was known eminently in the Khalsa Panth as an International Dhadhi Gold Medalist has passed away. Gyani Ji was seeking treatment for a heart condition at the D.M.C. Hospital in Ludhiana where he subsequently passed away on Jan. 26th, 2005.

Throughout the course of his 76 year life, Bhai Dya Singh Dilbar had done immense seva of the Khalsa Panth through recitation of Dhadhi vaars and writing of many books. He was honored with the award of Shiromani Dhadhi by the Shirmani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee in 1979 and by Punjab Bhasa Vibhag in 1994. Besides educating Sikhs about their history and Gurmat through dhadhi vaars and books, Gyani Ji had also taken part in many Panthic struggles. He was jailed during the Punjabi Suba Morcha and then during the state of emergency in Punjab. He was kept in the Burail Jail for over 3 years.

Bhai Sahib had written over a dozen of books which include the famous ‘Dilbar Sangeet’, ‘Dilbar Tarane’, ‘Dilbar Parsang’, ‘Dilbar Dunea’, ‘Gaunda Punjab’ and ‘Chandi Kharkegi’. Bhai Sahib had also traveled to England, Canada and the United States for the parchar of the Khalsa Panth.

Bhai Sahib’s body was cremated in the Banga Road Cremation Ground in Nava Shehar. Many Panthic personalities were present at the funeral. These included the present Akal Takhat Sahib Jathedar Bhai Joginder Singh Vedanti and also many representatives of the SGPC and sevadars of Darbar Sahib, Amritsar Sahib, Tarna Dal Harianvelan and others. Bhai Sahib’s concluding ardas was done by Gurdwara Singh Sabha Nawa Shehar’s Head Granthi Gyani Harjeet Singh Ji.
