it’s a story of six families - related to each other - who ruled or as some would say ‘ruined’ Punjab. To get closer to the coveted chair of power, many of them switched loyalties and thereby their affiliations to political parties from time to time. As years passed by Punjab politics took the shape of dynasty rule of these few families, with most of the politicians belonging to these families ensuring that the next generation is initiated into politics as well. Thus, four decades have passed, but the state is yet to get a chief minister who is not from one of these families. At a time when Parkash Singh Badal and Capt Amarinder Singh are fighting it out, it would be interesting to know how it all started. Pratap Singh Kairon, the first chief minister of Punjab came back from Michigan University to join Shiromani Akali Dal. However, later he joined Congress in 1929 and was sworn in as CM in 1956. Till then, most of these families - Kairons, Badals, Majithias, Brars, and the Patiala royal house were kind of acquaintances. t then some marriages out of political compulsion took place - four of them over a period of five years - Capt Amarinder Singh and Simranjit Singh Mann Do you see any Characteristic in them ? how many people beliive in khalistan and think that they will help you in making Khalistan, let discuss

this school should not be under SGPC,I guess Amritsar, Dec. 25 (ANI): An academy in Amritsar is now training non-Indian Sikhs to learn the tenets of Sikhism. Students of the Miri Piri Academy, all foreigners, follow the four pillars of the Sikh lifestyle - Bani and Bana (look for outer and inner values), Nam Simran (contemplation on God's name) and Seva (selfless service). Based on the sixth Sikh Guru Hargobind's philosophy of attaining mastery in both Miri (the temporal realm), and Piri (the spiritual realm), students of 13 countries are exposed to both an academic curriculum and daily spiritual and yogic practice. Academy Principal Sadanand Kaur say: "We are developing the mind, body and spirit. We give equal importance to all these three areas". Students are also taught the Sikh martial arts, 'Gatka'. The traditional art is used to train the body and mind to work in coordination, and to instil the qualities of a warrior, such as bravery, courage, spirit, and self-discipline. Spread over an area of 14 acres, the academy was founded in 1997 by Harbhajan Singh Khalsa.About 105 students at the academy belong to the third and fourth generation of Sikh families staying abroad. Many have stayed here for 10 to 12 years in other smaller Sikh academies. Gatka and Yoga teacher Jagat Guru Singh Khalsa said,"It (the academy) gives students a lot of strength. Over a hundred students have come from the overseas and arrived here from different parts of the world. Many have left their homes and families." "When they come here they get a chance to learn and experience spiritual practices. On returning home after graduating 12th grade from here, they are enriched with the spiritual strength. They can use this later on in their lives and shape bright future for themselves". Miri Piri Academy is accredited to the Punjab State Education Board, and students are eligible to take admission in colleges and universities in India and the US. The specially designed curriculum provides them an insight and understanding of the teachings of the Gurus and how to implement them in daily life. With the religious and spiritual discourses on the one hand and grounding in technology and science on the other, children grow up in an atmosphere that enriches their lives and makes them understand the beauty of Sikhism and life. "Miri Piri brings more than other schools in terms of spirituality, yoga and it really has a deeper meaning of everything. Other schools do not include spirituality and I think its very important part in life. So, Miri Piri brought me more than other schools," said Guru Amrit Kaur, a student. Immersing themselves in the culture and history of the Sikhism, these children carry with them a message for future generations - the message of the Khalsa - love for mankind. (ANI)
