The Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) has demanded that the Sikh and Hindu refugees who had fled strife-torn Afghanistan should be granted Indian citizenship.

'' We have taken up this issue with Union Minister of state for Home Parkash Jaiswal and he has assured that the government will consider this demand'', DSGMC president Paramjit Singh Sarna stated here today.

Addressing a media conference, Mr Sarna said they had brought to the notice of the Minister the case of 273 such Afghan refugees who have been living in India for the past 15 years or more.

He said these cases were being forwarded to the Union Home ministry, he added.

Mr Sarna also demanded that the 'black list' of Sikhs prepared by the Union Government should be reviewed by the Union Government.

A large number of NRI Sikhs whose names figure in this list are often refused visas to visit their relatives in India, he said while suggesting that the Union Home Ministry can grant short term visas to such NRI's and the DSGMC would stand guarantee for all such cases.

While pointing out that Punjab was still listed as a 'disturbed area', Mr Sarna demanded that issue should be taken up by the state government with the Centre. A number of NRI's and foreign nationals are not granted permission to visit Punjab on the grounds that it was a distrubed area, he added.

Fateh Ji,

A huge number of Afghan Sikh Refugees live in Delhi. There were many more a few years back but many migrated under the Amnesty offered by UK etc.

Now there's been a trickle of Hindu refugees from Pakistan as the Taaliban there have made life difficult for them.

Yes I feel India needs to offer these refugees citizenship.

eh eh eh... Lets take a look at sarna sahib who is living in mansion and worth hundreds of crores and continue to run his business along with family control on gurudwarays of delhi. If they are really soo good in running community gurdwaras and so many other projects then how come i see poor old sikh ladies crying for few lakhs since 1980's and that to only for mere few lakhs?? If sarna family is soo good in running decades old business then why not setup one small profitable business aside so that all effected sikh families can work there and have the share in business profits?

Leader veedar.. eh sarray thug neh !

Mann got some problems in his team but he is our true leader that i think he is well worth who should lead sikh kaum.

    • Definitely the Guru Sahibs would be a heavier Scriptures to handle. Dasam Granth is more towards Bir Rass, Guru Gobind Singh showed his Greatness (of course, they would never say this) by separating his own Baania.  And the BIGGEST test of all?? Do we try and read Dasam Granth, Understand n show respect like we do to SGGS? Or... Do we QUESTION it? Guru Gobind Singh Ji is testing us. 
    • My wife will be going for an MRI scan next week but her Kara won’t physically come off.  Is there any way the mri scan can be done with the Kara still on?  The alternative is we will have to try to saw it off before the scan.  
    • was researching this and came back to this thread. Also found an older thread:    
    • Net pay after taxes. If you don't agree, think about this: If you were a trader and started off in China with silk that cost 100 rupees and came to India, and you had to pay total 800 rupees taxes at every small kingdom along the way, and then sold your goods for 1000 rupees, you'd have 100 rupees left, right? If your daswandh is on the gross, that's 100 rupees, meaning you have nothing left. Obviously, you owe only 10% of 100, not 10% of 1000. No, it's 10% before bills and other expenses. These expenses are not your expenses to earn money. They are consumption. If you are a business owner, you take out all expenses, including rent, shop electricity, cost of goods sold, advertising, and government taxes. Whatever is left is your profit and you owe 10% of that.  If you are an employee, you are also entitled to deduct the cost of earning money. That would be government taxes. Everything else is consumption.    
    • No, bro, it's simply not true that no one talks about Simran. Where did you hear that? Swingdon? The entire Sikh world talks about doing Simran, whether it's Maskeen ji, Giani Pinderpal Singh, Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi, or Sants. So what are you talking about? Agreed. Agreed. Well, if every bani were exactly the same, then why would Guru ji even write anything after writing Japji Sahib? We should all enjoy all the banis. No, Gurbani tells you to do Simran, but it's not just "the manual". Gurbani itself also has cleansing powers. I'm not saying not to do Simran. Do it. But Gurbani is not merely "the manual". Reading and singing Gurbani is spiritually helpful: ਪ੍ਰਭ ਬਾਣੀ ਸਬਦੁ ਸੁਭਾਖਿਆ ॥  ਗਾਵਹੁ ਸੁਣਹੁ ਪੜਹੁ ਨਿਤ ਭਾਈ ਗੁਰ ਪੂਰੈ ਤੂ ਰਾਖਿਆ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The Lord's Bani and the words are the best utterances. Ever sing hear and recite them, O brother and the Perfect Guru shall save thee. Pause. p611 Here Guru ji shows the importance of both Bani and Naam: ਆਇਓ ਸੁਨਨ ਪੜਨ ਕਉ ਬਾਣੀ ॥ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਿਸਾਰਿ ਲਗਹਿ ਅਨ ਲਾਲਚਿ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਜਨਮੁ ਪਰਾਣੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The mortal has come to hear and utter Bani. Forgetting the Name thou attached thyself to other desires. Vain is thy life, O mortal. Pause. p1219 Are there any house manuals that say to read and sing the house manual?
