    The presenter had a caller on line live from Delhi where apparently there has been some trouble.

    The caller said the Fateh March was due to spend night at a Gurdwara but the Nagar kirtan inc panj piare and Guru Sahib whre refused entry. Then there was afight and the sangat overpowerd the commitee.

    FUNDRAISING APPEAL

    'Unique Home' for girls (Punjab)

    New life on this earth requires love to nurture it. It needs support to survive in this world with the belief that he or she is loved and cared for. The story, however, is rapidly changing for the girl child, especially in the so-called "progressive" Punjabi society, which has fast turned the tools of repression towards its own daughters making them unsafe even in their mother's womb.

    Female genocide in Punjab is amongst the highest anywhere in the world. This is the same Punjab, the homeland of Sikhs of whom their founder Guru Nanak's first follower and believer was Bibi Nanaki, his sister. Guru Nanak himself stated;

    From woman, man is born;

    within woman, man is conceived; to woman he is engaged and married.

    Woman becomes his friend; through woman, the future generations come.

    When his woman dies, he seeks another woman; to woman he is bound.

    So why call her bad? From her, kings are born.

    From woman, woman is born; without woman, there would be no one at all.

    – Guru Nanak, Raag Aasaa Mehal 1, Page 473

    The Bhai Ghanayya Ji Charitable Trust was established on May 17th 1993 running as 'Unique Home' which looks after unwanted, unclaimed or orphan children whom society shuns. The baby girls are found by road sides, dumped by running water, or even left during the night in the baby cradle outside the home.

    Unique Home currently looks after 52 females, mostly children.

    To raise these children as enlightened and self respecting citizens and restore them their due place in society is a very hard task that requires a mass, social effort. We appeal to all kind hearted people to come forward with any possible means of donating to this worthy cause.

    We will be flying out to India on 06-Feb-09,

    I visited the 'Unique Home' whilst in India last year.

    The building has a hatch on the front in which after dark people 'deposit' baby girls.

    Sometimes they have names and dates of birth etc, otherwise they are given them by the staff.

    the centre looks after the girls: food, clothing, education.

    A very good cause to donate towards.

    The experince left me feeling humbled by the ladies who run the centre, and disbelif at how people can just abandon their babies just because they are girls.

    :'(

    Wow thats amazing, Bhaji/Penji do you have any photographs of your stay there?

    Sorry did not have my camera with me to take any pictures.

  5. Thanks for the info...

    By the way he was no friend of mine, just some <banned word filter activated> i bumped into who happened to be wearing a kara and talking to somebody i knew about Lohri.

    After he challenged me, I did give him some replies but looking back i think what i wanted to express was a bit mixed up and i got a bit flumoxed. He obviusly has had this argument with someone elese before.

    But it upset me and i couldn't help going over it in my head afterwards, and then thinking i should have said this..., and mentioned that...

    I think though it was a test on me. I shall now endevour to gain knowledge so that if my identity is attacked again in public then i know how to give a good comprehensive reply that makes sense and shuts people up. :) ))))
