SeeQ

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh. You have our word in front of sangat jee that no Mr Jadoo or Magic Voodoo King, know the sex of your baby, or solve all your problems with a phonecall to peer baba balle balle will be allowed any space in SeeQ. We firmly believe in Sab Sikhan ko hukam hai Guru Manyo Granth! We have already included an article on Monty, however he declined to provide us with a personal interview. We also included an article on Fauja Singh who is a great role model. It will be our pleasure to consider any of your articles for publication and its entirely your choice on using a pen name. You will see that some of our existing writers have decided to stay completely anonymous altogether. We look forward to reading what you come up with. Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh.

waheguru ji ka khalsa, waheguru ji ki fateh, veerji, you have raised a valid point, we do realise that some of their members do drink and yes, at the same time they have also rasied money for charity. If you believe that their views in the said article are anti-gurmat or promote drinking then we unreservedly apologise. Again, if you beleive by including their article in SeeQ we are promoting culture rather than religion, again, we unreservedly apologise. However, in our defence, we will say that we do appreciate the differences between religion and culture, but do you think our target market does? To highlight this point, please understand that SeeQ is targeted at the youth that do not fully understand the wonderful religion of their forefathers and the sacrifices they made and the hardships they endured. It is an attempt to educate this target market about Sikhi and try to get them to dig a little deeper for themselves by igniting a spark of interest. If this means we must approach various cultural/social societies where our target market happen to be, then we think that this is not hypocricy but a targeted marketing strategy. It is pointless 'converting the converted' par se. We are not targeting educated gursikhs such as yourself, as you most likely know more about Sikhi than we do, but if you believe that we shouldnt step into the areas where our youngsters are nowadays found to be, then should we do nothing and watch them lose their identity? Please understand its a very thin line we are walking and we do try to complete due dilligence before including any article in SeeQ. We will endeavour not to promote drinking, smoking or anything else that goes against our maryada. We are open to debate and welcome criticism, as thats how we will grow and learn. If you have any ideas on how we can reach out to these young people without tapping into the cultural or social arenas, please let us know as we are more than happy to listen. Also, if you, or any other brother or sister out there would like to write an article for us or have any suggestions for future editions, please PM us and we will consider all. Finally, thank you all for the positive feedback and support you have all offered and with Gods kirpa, we will be back soon with our next edition. Bhul chuk Maaf Karnee Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh.
