True say! :D

This is the reason why I have the opinion that Sikhi isn't merely a religion, its way more than just that. It started as a revolution by Sahib Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj and was completed as a challenge by Dasmesh Pita Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj. The reason our numbers are so small is because the number of people who can come forward and accept a challenge is usually pretty small. In 1699 it was 5 out of 80,000.

The guy who called is Kamal Verma

AMRITSAR: Police have traced the threat call made to Golden Temple manager to an unemployed youth, who used a stolen SIM card registered in the name of a woman from Uttar Pradesh.

Police told TOI that the SIM card owner told cops that she had given the mobile for repair. The shop owner gave the SIM card to one of his relatives in Delhi who used the mobile phone to make the call to the manager of Golden Temple.

It is learnt that the police are bringing the relatives of the person who made the call to Amritsar for further investigation.

A person had made a threat call to the manager of Golden Temple asking for cash last week. Following the threat call, police had strengthened security for Golden Temple and also carried out search operation of hotels and sarais situated in the vicinity of Golden Temple.

Amritsar police commissioner J S Aulakh said cops were carrying out investigation, primarily it appears to be the work of some antisocial element.

India's Sikh cagers opt for haircut as Turban won't be an issue at Asiad

NAGPUR: The International Basketball Federation's (Fiba) announcement to allow players to wear religious headgear may have come a little too late for Amritpal and Amjyot Singh. The Sikh players, who were asked by organizers to remove their turbans before their opening match at the Asia Cup Basketball Championship in Wuhan (China) in July, chose to cut their hair prior to boarding the flight to Incheon for the Asian Games on Wednesday.

It is reliably learnt that both players will continue to wear their turbans, but now won't be needing patkas during their matches. The duo chose to avoid questions on why they opted for a haircut, but was relieved with Fiba's decision to allow religious headgear.

"I woke up this morning and was pleasantly surprised with the news that Fiba has reversed the turban ban. I am grateful for the support from all quarters," Amritpal said. "We have been saved from any future humiliation," Amjyot added.

Top sources in the Basketball Federation of India (BFI), however, confirmed the development and said they took the decision to shed their hairs on their own and turban won't be an issue at Asiad.

With no exposure trips before the all important event, a confident Indian contingent boarded the flight to Korea on Wednesday night.

He made the Sikh men wear bursars. Then, with the help of other Muslims in the neighborhood, he escorted them out of Block 32 and out of Trilokpuri. Meanwhile, the city burned and angry mobs raged through the blocks, pulling out Sikhs from their homes and killing them. Mohd Ali Zaid lived on Block 32 in the East Delhi locality, where the worst carnage happened. Half of the houses on that block belonged to Sikhs and mobs arrived there first, voters list in hand. They knew exactly where to find the Sikhs.

When the state media – Doordarshan an All India Radio – announced that Indira Gandhi had been shot dead by her two Sikh bodyguards, chaos descended upon the city, fed by rumors that Sikhs were celebrating the murder by distributing sweets because the then Prime Minister had ordered the army inside the Golden Temple.

Angry men wielding swords and knives killed more than 3,000 Sikhs in the three days of the worst carnage the city has ever experienced. “They killed more than 300 Sikhs in Block 32 alone,” Zaida recalled. “I had to help otherwise the guilt would have been too much to bear.”

Zaidi owned five plots on the block at the time. At first he sneaked around 25 Sikh men from his neighborhood into his house; he then called a barber around 2:30 am. The Sikh men sat there too shocked and scared to protest. The barber cut their hair and the turbans came off. “We had to do it. There was no other way out,” Zaidi, who relocated to another part of the city in the aftermath of the riots and returned only two years ago. “It was a strange day.” Early next morning, he got bursars from the women in his house and made the men wear them. He then sent them out one by one with bearded Muslim men so as to not arouse suspicion. But he couldn’t save them all. His block looked like a ghost town, with men and women from other parts of the city entering homes, pillaging and looting. Blood was all over, stench from the bodies and the tires was overbearing.

No Sikh families ever returned to Block 32. Gurcharan Kaur, a widow whose husband Naik Teja Singh was killed near their house on Block 36, is among the very few Sikh families that chose to stay back. For her, the neighbors who came to their rescue made her stay back. “Who knows where the killers came from? We will never know. Even if we know, justice will never be given. It is men like him (Zaidi) who helped us. In those dark days, goodness prevailed too,” she said.

What do our members think/feel about it?

I recently found out that if you soak a new dastar overnight in water mixed with laundry detergent and regular salt, the color that comes off is the maximum it will emit just that one time. After that you should see less color coming off when you wash the dastar.

Authorities thwart beheading plot in Australia's biggest ever counter-terrorism raids

The emerging reality of terrorism in Australia struck home just before dawn on Thursday when more than 800 police launched synchronised raids on houses and vehicles across Sydney's west and north-west, and Brisbane's south.

The raids foiled a plot involving a man believed to be Australia's most senior Islamic State member who called contacts in Australia and asked them to carry out a campaign of random public beheadings in Sydney and Brisbane, the ABC understands.

Poland News: Court - Sikh must remove turban at the airport

The Supreme Court has dismissed the case of Shaminder Singh Puri, a practicing Sikh who sued border guards about the violation of personal rights. This ultimately ends the case.

Shaminder Singh Puri is a British national of Indian origin who works as an expert on the environment. His job involves a great amount of international travel.

But Puri is also a practicing Sikh, which means that the most important element of his clothing is the turban. For every Sikh the turban is much more than just a long piece of fabric wrapped around the head.

Shaminder Singh Puri (a graduate of the University of Warsaw) was asked to remove his turban at Warsaw airport on five occasions between 2009 and 2011.

Ultimately he decided to sue the Chief of the Border Guard of violation of personal rights. He demanded an apology and compensation.

The main argument of lawyers Puri was that the actions of border guards were disproportionate. They immediately ordered him to remove his turban, instead of using other methods of control.

In the earlier judgments of the judges of both the Warsaw Regional Court and the Court of Appeal in Warsaw accepted is true that his personal rights (including freedom of conscience and religion) have been violated. But, to take account the lawsuit, a violation of property would have to be unlawful. Meanwhile, the border guards have the right to control everyone and the way in which they consider appropriate with respect to passenger safety.

Today with this reasoning, the Supreme Court agreed and dismissed the complaint of Shaminder Singh Puri. The judges concluded, inter alia, that the border guards every time approached Puri with respect to religion and if ordering him to remove the turban, it was in a separate room, inaccessible to other passengers.

Supreme Court judgment is final.

- We accept the decision with humility, but I feel unsatisfied when it comes to the content of reasons - said Adam Bodnar of the Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights, who helped Puri in this case. - We shall consider the matter go further, to the European Court of Human Rights.
