Singh Sabhas condemn article on Sikhs TIMES NEWS NETWORK[ TUESDAY, OCTOBER 07, 2003 02:27:37 PM ] JALANDHAR: The Confederation of the Singh Sabhas of Jalandhar City has condemned " the highly obnoxious statement appearing in the October, 2003 issue of the Spokesman in which the Sikhs are referred to as 'jangli'." In a press release e-mailed to TNN the Confederation has reproduced part of the write-up. It says : "Muglan de daur vich sikhan nun janglan vich ja chhupnan piya.Janglan vich reh ke sikhan ne ‘janglee’ adtan nu hi apna lya. Sara din khande peende rahe (jo kujh vi mile), larde rahe te galan kadhde rahe. Shahri jeevan vich vapas parat ke vi Sikh janglan dian adta nun aje tak nahin bhule..." The press release further says that "the statement has been been deliberately made to hurt the sentiments of the entire Sikh world to take away their attention from the nefarious activities of the journal and his collaborators conspiring against the Sikh traditions of hukamnama and authority of Akal Takhat." The release further says : "It is true that from time to time the governments of the day had been calling Sikhs as snakes, dogs, jaraim pesha (criminal tribe) and what not but it is for the first time that the entire Sikh community right from the time of Guru Gobind Singh ji to date have been dubbed as janglees and ravenous people constantly engaging themselves in name calling and invectives against each other." The press release further states that the "period of eighteenth century is the most glorious period of Sikh history. The Sikhs made maximum sacrifices d uring that period and at the cost of their lives kept the flame of Sikhism burning. This was the period when even the women and infants also had to pay for their life for adhering to the Sikh faith. Now dubbing those Sikhs as wild and calling them names is the most heinous and monstrous act. This is an insult to the entire Sikh nation and the Gurus and ought not be ignored." The Confederation further states that " of late the Spokesman along-with certain disgruntled elements abhorrent to Sikh Rahit Maryada has been carrying on a tirade against the concept of Miri-Piri, the daily prayer and baptismal banees , the maryada of Harimandir Sahib, the principle of hukam-namas." The Confederation has " warned the Sikhs to beware of the nefarious designs of this anti-Sikh group publishing such material. It is now evident that these people have ganged up against the concept and institution of Hukamnama because of their mentors Nirankari and Bhag Singh Ambala against whom Hukamnamas were issued by Akal Takhat ostracizing them from the Panth. Of these Bhag Singh Ambala had written against // sri bhagauti ji ki and benati chaupai patshahi dasvin penned by Guru Gobind Singh ji. Bhag Singh Ambala had submitted himself before the Akal Takhat and sought forgiveness for his blasphemous writings. He was pardoned. But now this group comprising Mohinder Singh Bakshi (Josh) who claims to be the legatee of Bhag Singh has tried to dig up the dead issues and is conspiring against the concept of Hukamnamas.Dr. Man Singh Nirankari is also one of the prominent members of this group. He is not only openly advocating and writing against the Nitnem and Ardas of the Khalsa but is also spreading the blasphemous canard that the gurus also had the ‘mundan’ ceremony." In view of this, the Confederation calls upon the Sri Akal Takhat Sahib and the SGPC to take note of this blasphemous statement given by the Spokesman and take strict action according to the Pan thik traditions. The confederation also brings this to the notice of the authorities for taking action against the write-up of the Spokesman which is nothing but an attempt to hurt the religious feelings of the Sikhs and has the potential of disturbing the peace and tranquility of the society. The press statement has been issued under the names of Tarlochan Singh, president and Jagjit Singh Gabba, president of the Confederation.

N.M. company to provide security at N.C. Army base, others The Associated Press ESPANOLA, N.M. -- A New Mexico company has been awarded three U.S. Army contracts worth millions of dollars to provide security at Army bases in eight states, including North Carolina. Akal Security is to provide more than 1,500 armed security guards for Army bases in Washington, Kansas, Texas, Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky, Georgia and Alabama under the contracts, the Espanola company announced Monday. The first 12 months of the contracts are estimated to be worth about $70 million. Akal was contracted under a program to hire outside guards in order to reduce the burden on military personnel. Congress approved the program in the 2003 Defense Authorization Act. The company, founded in 1980 by members of the Sikh community in Espanola, now has more than 8,000 employees in the United States and abroad. "Unfortunately, with the existing security situation in this country and worldwide, we have to secure many facilities at a higher level than was previously thought necessary," said Daya Khalsa, one of the founders of the company. It holds a five-year contract with the U.S. Marshals Service to provide security to courthouses in Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi as well as federal contracts in many other states reaching from Florida to Hawaii. U.S. General Services Administration figures from a year ago showed Akal to be one of New Mexico's largest federal contractors. Khalsa said Akal's new security contracts won't provide jobs in New Mexico, but that profits would return to the state and create at least 10 jobs at the company's headquarters. Akal's annual revenues are around $500 million, Khalsa said. Sikhs, who wear turbans as part of their faith, belong to a monotheistic Indian religion that originated in the Punjab region of northwest India. The Sikh community near Espanola grew from a community founded in 1971 by about two dozen Sikhs.

Here is the Singh's Photo and little more about the man who invented fibre optics Pioneer scientist Narinder Kapany is regarded as "The Father of Fiber Optics," which he discovered in 1955. His research endeavors include fiber optics communications, local area networks, biomedical instrumentation, solar energy and pollution monitoring. Kapany also founded the Sikh Foundation in 1967 to ensure that Sikh tradition will be handed down to future generations of Sikhs born in Europe and North America

Just saw this but didn't read it completely. But yes ..........the father of fiber optics is a Sikh here is the article IndiaStar Review of Books No More Watno Dur by Sadhu Binning -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IndiaStar Review of Books "No More Watno Dur establishes Sadhu Binning as one of the leading poets of the Indian diaspora now writing in English."-- C.J.S. Wallia No More Watno Dur by Sadhu Binning Toronto: TSAR Publications, 1995 120 pages $10.95 Reviewed by C.J.S. Wallia No more Watno Dur is a collection of poems in Punjabi along with English translations by Sadhu Binning, who teaches Punjabi at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. ("Watno Dur" in Punjabi means "far from the homeland.") Nearly all of the poems are about Indian immigrants in North America and are dedicated to the memory of the passengers of "Komagatu Maru," a ship with 376 Indian immigrants, which, in 1914 in Vancouver harbor, was forced to turn around and take them back to Calcutta. Upon disembarkation in Calcutta, the British colonial police shot dead 26 of the passengers and seriously wounded many more. The poems in No more Watno Dur, particularly their references to "Komagatu Maru," perhaps can be best appreciated in the context of the history of Indian immigration to North America, which begins in 1903. II. The earliest Indian immigrants were mostly Sikh ex-soldiers and farmers from the Punjab who settled in British Columbia, where they had to face severe r acial discrimination. They applied for Canadian citizenship, which was granted, but then rescinded in 1907. Some early immigrants moved to California's Sutter and San Joaquin counties, where racial discrimination later became even worse. The Indian immigrants felt that the major reason they were regarded as inferior in North America was India's colonial status under the British. To fight for India's independence, the immigrants founded the Ghadr party. The party, headquartered in San Francisco, elected Sirdar Sohan Singh Bhakna as the founding president and Lala Hardayal as secretary. Among the several hundred Ghadrites who returned to India was Sirdar Kartar Singh Sarabha, a young University of California engineering student at Berkeley. He along with 45 others was hanged in Lahore by the British colonial government in 1917, which also sent hundreds to the nightmarish prison in Kala Pani (Andaman Islands). In 1923, the U.S. government, by a decision of the Supreme Court, denaturalized all of the naturalized citizens from India on the ground that, although they were Caucasians, they were not white. Here are two examples of the kind of discrimination the early Indian immigrants and visitors encountered. Sirdar Dalip Singh Saund completed his Ph.D.degree in mathematics from U.C. Berkeley in 1927 and found a job to teach in the Los Angles school district. But, even before he could step into his first class, the job offer was withdrawn by the school board because they decided that the students would be too upset to be taught by a brown-skinned person. So much for the brown civilization that invented the numeral system 1, 2, 3, etc. (misnamed as the "arabic" numerals by the Europeans -- a fact acknowledged by Arab historians themselves), the decimal system, and many of the founding concepts of geometry and algebra. Frustrated from following his profession, Dalip Singh Saund turned to farming and, decades later, became the first Asian-American to be elected to the U.S. Congress. In 1929, the prodigio us poet Rabindranath Tagore, who had won the Nobel Prize in literature in 1913, was treated in such humiliating manner by the U.S. immigration authorities in Los Angeles that he promptly cancelled his lecture tour and returned to India. The Immigration and Naturalization officers had demanded proofs from the brown-skinned poet that he could read and write and that he possessed sufficient funds on hand to guarantee that he would not become a public charge in the U.S. The tall, aristocratic, seventy-year-old Tagore, long locks and white beard flowing, commented: "Jesus could not get into America because, first of all, he would not have the necessary money, and secondly, he would be an Asiatic." Indian immigration to the U.S. came to a complete halt in 1924 with the passage of the Asian Exclusion Act, resuming only in 1946, when the Luce-Celler bill allowed a token immigration of 100 people from India. This bill was passed by the persistent lobbying of Sirdar J.J. Singh over a period of twenty years. J.J. Singh's indefatigable one-man lobby finally pressed on the American recognition of their hypocrisy of having just fought Hitlerian racism in Europe while practising racial discrimination in their own immigration policies. The U.S. Immigration Act of 1965 opened the doors for the first time for sizeable numbers of Indians immigrants. In 1967, Canada introduced the "point system" for approving immigration applications. The criterion now was to be outstanding professional qualifications. Many of the new arrivals came with advanced degrees in the sciences -- the most prominent of this group are Sirdar Narinder Singh Kapany, D.Sc., the father of fiber optics; Hargobind Khorana, Ph.D., the Nobel-prize winning geneticist; and Deepak Chopra, M.D., star east-west physician on American TV. Many have done well: according to the 1990 U.S. Census, Indo-Americans have the highest per capita income of any ethnic group. After settling down, these professionals typically sponsored the applications of their relatives to come over, some of whom lacked college education and now make up the lower economic classes of Indian immigrants. This lower economic class is the narrative persona of Sadhu Binning's poems in No More Watno Dur. III. The Komagatu Maru incident of 1914 was a particularly poignant event in this history and has been the subject of two outstanding plays: Sharon Pollock's, in English, first produced in 1976; and Ajmer Singh Rode's, in Punjabi, first produced in 1984. The two opening poem in Sadhu Binning's No More Watno Dur are about the Komagatu Maru: The Heart-Breaking Incident at the same shore of the ocean where once stood Komagatu Maru and went back without kissing the shore sand shrieking like a hungry elephant facing the guns now sitting amidst the driftwood, the gravel, the sand I wonder how they witnessed the scene and listened to the voices of our grandfathers I try to enjoy the music of the waves but only the angry Punjabi voices from the Maru reach my ears I ask the waling stones about the heartbreaking incident they laugh turn their faces and walk away ---------- and the follow-up poem Welcome I often speak to the grass the trees and the river they never tell me I wasn't welcome I've heard the wind chatting with leaves not once a note of hatred the rain and the snow touch me on my shoulders as many other friends do the birds come every morning and sing outside my window welcoming me into a new place a new day why weren't they consulted when the decision was made to send my Komagatu Maru away. Most of the 29 poe ms in No More Watno Dur present the inner experiences of an Indian immigrant in Canada who has to take up backbreaking jobs such as picking strawberries, dish washing, and delivering packages. The following two poems reflect the narrator's changing relationship to his adopted country and the oneness he experiences after immersing his father's ashes in a Canadian river. River Relations At the foot of the towering glaciers into the icy waters of the river when I dropped the ashes of my father the persistent memory of Ganga Yamuna and Sutluj was forcefully quelled inside Now whenever I remember my father It is the Squamish river I think about one rupturing relationship giving birth to a new one The strangeness of the place melted a personal image now flows in memory perhaps that's what my father meant by relations of rivers to men ---------- and Sadhu Binning's deeply connecting, transformative title poem: No More Watnu Dur letters that I wrote to my family to my friends in the last one century were all written from a foreign land to the motherland but the letter that I just wrote about the news of my father's death is written from my country to another country I wrote: My father left his home a long time ago he lived with the dream of one day returning to his fields to spend the last of his days in peace now along with his body all his dreams are melted into this land I have dropped his ashes in icy river water he has become part of this soil No More Watno Dur establishes Sadhu Binning as one of the leading poets of the Indian diaspora now writing in English. See everybody' ;s life today is somehow linked to fibre optics from endoscopes to internet.....fibre optics is the life line..................and it was invented by a Sikh... ...............& the world still doesn't know who Sikhs are and the poor hindus still make fun of us.................... :umm:

what ????It would be : :nihungsmile: if a sikh has invented fiber optics. But how come we don't know his name.

Sikh bodies to move Takht against Prof Manjit Singh Tribune India Monday, 6th October 2003 Amritsar -- The former Jathedar of Takht Keshgarh Sahib has embroiled himself in another controversy allegedly by participating in the ‘Vishawa Dharma Prachar Yatra’, organised by the Vishwa Parvasi Bharatiya Forum (VPBF) yesterday at Auckland. The Sikh Society of Auckland and the Dal Khalsa unit of New Zealand have decided to lodge a petition to Akal Takht in this regard. The Sikh bodies have urged Jathedar Akal Takht Giani Joginder Singh Vedanti to summon prof Manjit Singh at Takht for allegedly violating the ‘Sikh Maryada’. Mr Daljit Singh president, Sikh Society Auckland, and Mr Gurinder Singh Chahal, in charge Dal Khalsa unit (New Zealand) said that they would take up the matter with the Dharam Prachar Committee of the Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee. They alleged that the VPBF was overseas wing of the Vishav Hindu Parishad and it was clear from its website. Mr Kanwarpal Singh, general secretary of the Dal Khalsa said that he had received a fax message from Auckland that Prof Manjit Singh had participated in the yatra in violation of the Sikh code. While family members of Prof Manjit Singh claimed that he had gone to Auckland for participating in the inter-faith religious yatra, yet the Sikh Society alleged that the very aim of the function was to promote Hindu faith. He said the participation of such religious personalities lent credence to the “anti-Panthic” forces. Mr Kanwarpal Singh said that Prof Manjit Singh who was removed Jathedar following serious charges should be punished as per 'Sikh maryada.

Air Canada to launch non-stop Delhi-Toronto flights NEW DELHI: After a gap of four years, Air Canada today announced resumption of its services with the launch of a non-stop daily service between Delhi and Toronto from October 18, which would provide convenient connections to the US with the Canadian city having scores of daily flights to New York, Washington, Chicago and other American cities. Announcing this here, Air Canada's General Manager (India), Mr Ratindra Jang said that this 15-hour flight would do away with the inconvenience of five-hour stopovers and change of flights at european destinations and would `suit business travelers destined to North America the best.' The Canadian carrier would operate a wide-bodied Airbus A-340-300 on the Delhi- Toronto sector. The airline had stopped its services from India in 1999. He said the timing of the launch of this daily service was aimed at attracting the Diwali traffic as also the ethnic travelers, primarily from Punjab. Mr Jang said the airline would launch a roadshow in the remote areas of Punjab soon to educate the people about the benefits of a non-stop flight to Canada which has a considerable Sikh population. He said an estimated 60 per cent of Air Canada's traffic was expected from this State. - PTI

No doubt he's the same guy who said that rss saved sikhs in 1984. It's really shame. He is a puppet of govt. But I think facts aren't wrong . See for example Isn't it serious?? 80% of sikh youths have cut their hair in Punjab??? I think it's even worse than west

I agree with akjforever. The list of kirtanees shouldn't have been cut. That's not Anti-Sikh or anti-gurmat. Absence of a kirtanee won't stop a person from going to raensabayee. I think it's just curiosity to know and if u really like a part keirtanee then u don't want to miss it.

New Delhi, Oct. 5. (UNI): National Commission for Minorities (NCM) Chairman, Tarlochan Singh, has expressed regrets at top Sikh sportsmen trimming their beards and hair, acts which he said were encouraging apostasy in the community's younger generation. "Top golfer Chiranjeev Singh, son of Flying Sikh Milkha Singh, doesn't sport Sikh appearance. Only two out of seven Sikh Indian Hockey players could stand out as 'Sikhs'. Hockey stars like Prabhjot Singh, Gaganjit Singh and Jugraj Singh do not keep uncut hair required by their faith. World famous off-spinner Harbhajan Singh does not wear a turban and rather shows up in a 'Patka (headscarve)'," pointed out the NCM chief while delivering his keynote address on Sikh Youth at Crossroads at the India International Centre here last evening. The topic aimed to discuss the high incidence of apostasy among the Sikhs, especially in their very heartland of Punjab where, Singh observed, 80 per cent of Sikh school students do not keep long hair required by their faith. The NCM chief, also Deputy Chairman of the Afro-Asian Games Organising Committee, pointed out that as many as 90 per cent of Punjab's sportsmen were Sikhs, but none wore a turban. "There was a time when Punjab's Kabaddi team, comprising Sikhs who could stand out in a crowd, would win honors to both the community and the country, but today's Kabaddi players from Punjab have no distinct identity to show." Singh also recalled JCT Phagwara's prestigious position in Indian football, saying the team was then identified with its Sikh personality. "Footballers like Inder Singh and Jarnail Singh needed no other recognition. But today the entire team has given up its Sikh appearance."

Durga Puja begins with festive fervour on Saptami Press Trust of India Kokata, October 2 Symbolising the victory of good over evil, Bengal's four-day socio-cultural extravaganza, Durga Puja, began in thousands of ostentatiously decorated Pandals throughout the state amidst beefed up security. Priests and devotees thronged the many Ghats of Ganga even before daybreak on Maha Saptami to perform the ritual 'Kalabou Snan' (bathing of the banana plant, mythical wife of Goddess Durga's son Lord Ganesh) marking the beginning of the religious ceremony. 'Bodhon', or invocation of life into the clay goddess by priests, was held at the Puja Pandals Wednesday evening. Braving steady showers through the morning and notwithstanding an overcast afternoon sky, thousands of Puja revellers poured into the metropolis to offer 'Anjali' (floral offerings) to goddess Durga and her progeny in over 11,00 community and family Puja Pandals. Drawing the maximum number of visitors with their innovative decorations were the red chilli Pandal of Bosepukur, homeopathy vial Pandal of Haridevpur, replica of Amritsar's Golden Temple at College Square and Boondi (sweetmeat) Pandal in Kasba. Donned in their festive best, Pandal hoppers descended on the streets past mid-day giving traffic managers a tough time as surface and underground public transport remained choc-a-bloc with Puja revellers. Over 65,000 police personnel lined the crowded and sensitive areas of the Kolkata city and its suburbs as security was beefed up in the entire state, especially in North Bengal, the national highways and indus trial units. As an additional measure, the city and state police put to use a Wireless Trunking System for the first time to ensure better co-ordination among the intelligence agencies

Mrs. B a beloved teacher at private school SAN GREWAL BRIEF ENCOUNTER It's hard to walk around the halls of the Khalsa Community School in Malton where Beatrice Ramos teaches without hearing students talking about her — "Let's ask Mrs. B." "We learned that in Mrs. B's class." "Mrs. B will do it." On a Tuesday afternoon, after the last bell goes off in Ontario's only private Sikh school, Mrs. B sits down in her Grade 4 classroom, in the chair where she eats lunch with her students every day. As she reflects on a lifetime in the learning business, her smile is wide and her eyes invite you to just sit and listen. "It started out when I was 14, living in Windsor," she says. "My mother told me that my duty after church on Sundays was to go to Cedar Springs Hospital and work with children who had special needs. All the other kids were skating and playing while I had to work with the children in the hospital. I didn't like it at first." Ramos began her unique teaching career almost 20 years ago, after graduating from the University of Windsor. "I've taught mentally and physically challenged students with special needs, English language skills to children from different cultures, and now I'm at a private religious school. I learn something new every day." In keeping with one of Sikhism's religious tenets, Ramos keeps her head covered while inside the building. "I'm a Baptist," she says. "When they take their parshad (sweet food symbolic of God's mercy) I take a piece of bread." She is the only non-Indian teacher at t he school. "I'm seven generations black Canadian and all my students are Sikh. But in the classroom, there is no separation, other than student and teacher. I have to be a good role model. I have to be patient and I have to be creative. That's what being a teacher, regardless of who your students are, is all about." She teaches English and writing skills. She was approached about the job two years ago, after the school's principal kept hearing many of his students talking about a teacher known as Mrs. B who tutored them outside school. "Teaching is how I identify myself," she says. "Not a week goes by without running into a former student who spots me somewhere and says `Hey, there's Mrs. B.' Knowing they remember you, all of the different students I've taught after all these years, is a feeling that can't be described."

Pittsburgh Nightclubs Decide to Allow Sikhs inTurbans India West, News Report, Lisa Tsering, Oct 03, 2003 Six popular restaurants and nightclubs owned by a Pittsburgh, Pa., chain have amended their "no hats" dress code to allow turbans and other religious head-coverings, according to a press release issued Sept. 29 by Sikh Mediawatch and Resource Task Force. SMART had teamed with attorney Ravinder Singh Bhalla and the Anti-Defamation League of Cleveland, Ohio, to protest the way club staffers treated Harpreet Grewal, 27, a turbaned Sikh who was turned away twice from night spots owned by Tom Jayson, a local Pittsburgh entrepreneur. In July 2002, Grewal and his wife, Gultaj, had tried to get into Donzi's Restaurant to celebrate Gultaj's birthday, but were turned away because Grewal was wearing a turban. In July 2003, he and his wife tried to get into Touch, a nightclub also owned by Jayson, and were again denied entry. "While my wife and I were in line, we were approached by an employee of the club who told us I wouldn't be allowed in unless I removed my turban," Grewal told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "I explained that it is an article of my faith and I couldn't comply with such a request." Grewal is a graduate of Stanford University and the University of Michigan Medical School, and he is now working as an intern at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Preetmohan Singh, a SMART spokesman, told India-West Sept. 29 that Jayson's new policy will help "allow Sikhs to go about their everyday business without having their deeply held beliefs equated with a fashion statement li ke baseball caps." As of Sept. 29, the Web site for Touch states the following dress code: "no headwear, athletic wear, baggy clothing, t-shirts, shirts with logos, or shorts (subject to manager's discretion)." SMART publishes a free brochure in PDF format entitled "Know What to Do," outlining the civil rights of turbaned Sikhs or anyone else who faces discrimination, hate crime or harassment.

visit this site to know about him: www.shiromaniakalidalmann.org and on one page look at the expose of rss

I also think that Sikhs should pass a resolution that planes of all sorts-passenger as well as military are not allowed at least over Golden Temple. This is bcoz of security concern so that if plane crashes there's no harm to the Gurdwara.
