The Punjabs water table needs to further deplete and Inflation needs to rise further before any Arab Spring arrives in the Punjab. At the moment people are too comfortable to demand a change. The only hope we had was for Mann Akali Dal to form a coalition with PPP and concentrate on tackling social problems such as corruption, unemployment, drug abuse, dereh, poor education and healthcare. If these two parties united then Badal and Congress would have a serious rival to contend with. Only then would the everyday Hindu and Sikh get a glimpse of how a Punjab would function to benefit lives of the everyday person. This would be a start for Khalsa Raj.

He sang 'patta patta Singhan da vari' because the jujaroos had the upper hand in Punjab during those years. He is singing for Badal because he now has the upper hand. He will do the same for Congress when they have the upper hand. These doh takke de bande will sing with the tide! No need to stress!

Nobody should be shocked! Hans Raj is after all Gaon Wajaun Wala or Band Waje Wala. Throw him a penny and he'll sing for anyone. Probably wants to try and enter politics once again.

I've been following this up on the Indian media channels today and it seems to have hot the nerve of the Hindu ministers in parliament. I've also heard Manmogam Singh is being urged to intervene but I am also aware of the problems Sikhs have been facing in France regarding the Dastar and I also remember that this issue just went over the heads of the mainstream Hindu Parties in India. No support from me as my brothers and sisters have suffered and no one listened to them in their hour of need. I know these are harsh words but I'm done with political correctness!

@sweetshera You have made a few points that I feel I would like to address. First of all the cast issue needs to be condemned regardless which camp you have been born into. The Ramgharia community need to remove the the boards from the Gurughars if any form of unity is to formed amongst the Sikh community. Unless they are direct decendents of Jassa Singh Ramgharia they have no place associating themselves with the Ramgharia label. This was Jassa Singhs family name and not one to highjacked by a group who have nothing in common apart from so called professions they identify themselves by. I do not call my self a Nalwa Sikh because of our families professional similarities. These boards are an insult to Sikh Faith and must go! Thankfully this a practice which has not caught on in Gurdwaras in Punjab. You have also referred to Khalistan as 'nonsense' and this is an insult to the very Ardas we partake in our daily lives. Any Sikh who does not agree with Khalsa Raj is not a Sikh. This is not questionable and the only debates or opinions on this matter should be of how we can achieve Khalistan. The Ravidas issue is somewhat complex because I sympathise with the oppression they have faced but they cannot be identified as a different religion as long as they house the Guru Granth Sahib in the Gurughar. My problem is when certain groups decide to pick and choose the Bani they wish to adopt. The time is nearing for these labels to be discarded and decisions need to be made in relation to who we are. Are we Sikhs or are we men and women of Labels? Can Sikh and Khasa be seperated? You need to do some serious research and listen to the words next time you partake in Ardas!

Agree 100% Make video! Write responses! Challenge the oppressors and instigators via the pen and media! We can all do this! We are not lambs set for slaughter so fight back against injustice in any way we are able to do so. Big or Small just do it!

I came across 1469 workshop during a trip to Amritsar. They have shops in major Cities across north India. The quality of the T- Shirts is fantastic and it's nice to see them paying equal attention to design, packaging and labels. You can also come across their traditional Punjabi Arts and Craft items such as bags, accessories and ornaments. It was quite refreshing to see an Punjab based company producing high quality and original items that promote Punjabi heritage. Thumbs up from me!

My fears are that the Jathedar will cleanse Bachan from these allegations on the orders of Badal. There will be huge political pressure to shield Bachan from his role in 1984. But this doesn't mean we as individuals should leave this despicable man to be dealt with by our Panthic leaders. I'm hoping that someone can produce these videos from a private collection. Maybe the BBC or Pakistan media may have copies!

In my opinion the Artwork looks amazing! I actually like the vibrant colours and I don't think you need to express true likeness in Art we have photography for that. I can't wait to visit in person!

The agenda is clear! Pakistan is taking steps to insure that keeping good relations now with Sikhs will forge strong trade partnerships with the soon to be Khalistan!

Ground n Pound! That's the way to do it!

You stick to textbook education and history told in school classrooms. I'm a realist and like to keep my eyes and ears open to how things work in the real world not the one that is painted to you by the media!

Fantastic reply!

Hssingh! Just to paint the picture about who helped South Sudan and why the USSR fell and why Khalistan will be formed. “It was George Bush and the Christian fundamentalists who heard the cry of South Sudan,” In 2005, President Bush put South Sudan at the top of the U.S. foreign policy agenda. Knocking heads, he forced the murderous Islamofascist government of Sudan to negotiate with the South Sudan rebels, including their right to secede. That hard work led to today’s result — and with it, the first chance South Sudan has ever had to break free of its oppression. Los Angeles Times USSR fall was down to the fact that US wanted to wipe Communism from the face of the Earth. The US worked tirelessly to make sure that USSR was broken into many states. Indias growth of 10% is the primary reason for why it will be broken up. It will be a victim of it's own success. It easier for western powers to contain smaller states as it is to with one major player in that region. They don't need another China. Pakistan is no longer reliable and US needs a new base to keep an eye on China. To contain China will be a very difficult task as it has never been ruled by any foreign powers in it's entire history. Khalistan will not be formed by primary US assistance, or Chinese for that matter if they decide to go for India first. It will be formed in the aftermath just as new states were formed after collapse of USSR. Geo politics is what shapes the world just as it is shaping Lybia and Iraq recently. This is a game about world domination and sometimes Countries and States get caught in the middle. It happened during Maharaja Ranjit Singhs reign and it happened again in 1947 and soon it will happen again. Countries are not formed or broken by chance they are formed by very intelligent people when the need arises. With the economic downturn in the west and the growth in the East there is no better time for a need. Khalistan- It's got a nice ring to it!

Angrezi padni taan likhni nehin aundey te gallan karde takke takke diaan! When this happens you will not be consulted, Geo politics will take care of everything! Veer mereyaa assi paavehn baar de jam pal jaroor haan par Punjab te Silkh politics baare saabu tohade naaloh vadh ilm aah!

@hsisingh! First of all if you do not support Khalistan I refuse to recognise you as a Sikh and have little time for your non sensical views on this subject! However I will answer your question. Khalistan in my opinion will be formed through outside influence and by geo political interests of the worlds leading powers of China and the West. So bloodshed and sacrifice and martyrdom are not a necessity. This has been proven in recent sovereign nations from the previous USSR and present South Sudan. The worlds Borders and Maps are forever changing so I think your level of understanding world politics and facing up to realities is very limited. Khalistan will be formed and nobody can stop this. Whether you want this or not is irrelevant as this will happen sooner than you think. Khalistan Zindabad!

You should answer this question by shooting from the hip! No lies! No holding back on the truth! Examine the roots of Hinduism and all is revealed. The Brahmins have been operating at the highest posts in India for centuries. Their Religion is more a political tool to control the people of India rather than a credible religion that brings one closer to God. This system is which the Brahmin call 'Hinduism'. This is made up of four casts which the everyday people fall into with the 2% of Brahmin elite at the top. The Brahmin remains at the top regardless of political or economical change. The rest remain to serve this Elite of 2%. Nobody can switch or move up in the Cast system ladder within the Hindu Religion. The only way to achieve this is told by the Brahmins ''do good deeds and then maybe you will be lucky enough to reincarnate into a higher form in your next life''. When we say caste system we remove reality from this word. It is in actual fact four different species of humans selected to do certain jobs decided by the Brahmins. The remaining 3 castes of Hinduism have accepted this system which has been explained and brainwashed to them through centuries. So this leaves the Sikhs in this odd dilemma. Sikhism goes against this unfair system/religion or whatever you want to call it. Sikhs do not belong to this system so have no reason to accept the Brahmin as a superior species. This is where the discrimination stems from because Sikhs are the single most dangerous community in the eyes of the Brahmins. Sikhism challenges the ideology which keeps the Brahmins in power and threatens the lie which India's 3 inferior casts to the Brahmins have accepted. So public enemy number one in post 1947 India are Sikhs, as we remain as the only group that refuses to be absorbed into Hinduism and regard ourselves as equals. Now the discrimination and attacks range from Genocide, Ethnic cleansing, Forced acceptance of the Hindu Marriage Act, Promotion of Drugs and Alcohol, Intense Farming which disrupts the water table and Rivers which are diverted to neighbouring states. The list goes on but the truth is that the non Brahminical Hindus unaware of these policies which are designed to make the Sikhs vanish from this earth. The Hindu's of India have been forced fed this oppressive system for so long and are now in such a deep sleep that they are refusing to question the Brahmins on this religion/system, which is clearly designed by the Brahmins and favours only this so called 'Elite' class of 2% of India. The Sikhs in the mean time will be attacked and discriminated by the Brahmins for refusing to bow down and accept Hinduism. The best way to deal with this monster in my opinion is to tell your fellow Hindus that they too are victims of the Brahmins. They are also exploited and held back from success and the right to be equal. The minute that the non Brahminical Hindus start to do this, they too will feel the discrimination that a Sikh faces in India!

Move to Indian controlled Punjab? Never! Move to an independent Khalistan? Without hesitance 'Today!'

This is a total BS article with undertones that are attacking the Sikh Faith and trying hard to label Sikhs as extremists. Referring to the Indian airlines bombing is absurd as they have delibertately avoided the facts of Indian Ageny foul play to discredit Sikhs worldwide. It was your Canadian government findings that states this! The fact that 'Money' has not been mentioned as the catalyst for this gang warfare shows that this article is nothing but an attempt to one again discredit Sikhs.

Here's the Science to back up my theory and claims. I could be wrong but I think that I read that the Growth Hormone is absorbed through the mucus membranes when consumed orally. This product is consumed now by Australian Athletes and New Zealand Rugby players. So I think that there is a string enough case for it's benefits. If it doesn't bore you read the following: (1) Immune Factors: Active components that have very significant effects on the immune system, promoting a stronger, more efficient immune response and providing antibodies which fight specific infections. Colostrum contains over 95 Immune Factors to provide protection against bacteria, toxins, virus and disease. They activate numerous processes that are critical to the healthy function of the immune system. Proline-rich Polypeptide (PRP) is a hormone that helps regulate the thymus gland, stimulating an under active immune system or subduing an overactive immune system in cases where it has begun to attack the tissues of the body. An over active immune system has been linked to autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, scleroderma, chronic fatigue syndrome, and allergies. An under-active system is associated with an increased risk for infectious conditions, cancer and bacterially related heart disease. Colostrum contains all 5 Immunoglobulins (known as antibodies) that support the human immune system: IgA: neutralizes toxins and microbes in the lymphatic and circulatory system IgM: estroys bacteria IgE and IgD: highly antiviral IgG: helps against invading pathogens Lactoferrin, has been shown to contain antiviral, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is an iron-binding protein with therapeutic effects in cancer, HIV, cytomegalovirus, herpes, chronic fatigue syndromes, candida albicans, and other infections. Lactoferrin helps deprive bacteria of the iron they require to reproduce, and releases iron into the red blood cells enhancing oxygenation of tissues. Many drug manufacturers have tried to isolate and synthesize the individual immune factors found in colostrum, including interferon and gamma globulin. There is no question that the significantly elevated concentrations of immune factors, essential factors, and growth factors, and the basics ound naturally in colostrum are far superior to medical drugs for many people. (2) Natural Growth Factors: Effective in reducing the symptoms associated with aging. Rejuvenating the body's levels of human growth hormone (HGH) is one of the hottest therapies for helping aging men and women maintain a more youthful vitality, trim muscular body, and strong immune and cardiovascular function. Studies show that an aging person exhibits lower levels of growth hormone than a younger one. With all 87 naturally occurring anti-aging growth factors found in colostrum, many of the diseases and conditions of aging can be improved. The biologically active growth factors in bovine colostrum protect the body against disease and assist the body in the following processes: ♦ Stimulates cellular and tissue growth ♦ Repairs and helps reverse the damage done by disease and the natural aging process ♦ Increases metabolism ♦ Reduces fat and increases muscle mass ♦ Involved in regeneration of the heart, lung and liver tissue, plus other organs and tissues throughout the body ♦ Stimulates protein synthesis, which is critical for the renewal of skin and bones ♦ Affects neurotransmitters in the brain, improving moods and mental acuity The regenerative effects of colostrum extend to nearly all the body's structural cells. This makes colostrum invaluable in the quest to prevent premature aging. (3) Metabolic Factors: Influence the restoration and maintenance of the body's proper metabolic levels. One key benefit of colostrum is a rich source of growth hormone, one of the master growth factors that assists the body to efficiently burn fat. This is supported by research from the Medical Endocrinological Department of the University Clinic of Internal Medicine, Aahus Dommune-hospital, Denmark. Researchers found that when subjects received growth hormone, fat oxidation (i.e., the burning of fat for energy) contributed 71.7 per cent of the body's energy expenditure, compared to only 48 percent without administration of growth hormone. In addition, colostrum's IGF-1 inhibits the burning of body proteins for energy, as stated by researchers from the Department of Pediatrics, University of Auckland, New Zealand.

Get a grip and stop feeling sorry for yourselves! You guys are radiating the 'glass is half empty' mentality. There are plenty of girls who want to marry a Sardar but most of you people would not give those girls a chance. If there are girls who don't want to marry Sardar then let them be and let marry a clean shaven guy and bring a weak child into this world. 30 years from now they'll be posting 'my husband does'nt care for me and he beats me after drinking a crate of Stella'! In the mean time stop being so shallow when choosing your partners! This goes out to especially those men who play the 'Sardars can't find girls Card'!

You are correct when you say that boxers do not engage in sexual behaviour leading up to fight night and during fight training camp. But this has nothing to do with building up hormones. The reasons for this is because the legs are weakened during such acts of Kaam. A boxer needs to have very strong legs and needs to mentally relaxed and allert which is the opposite of being charged up with rage for explosiveness with excess hormones.
