could we not achieve this ourselves (no meat shops and tobacco stalls) through encouraging better relations within the community and sponsoring an extension of the greening up of Amritsar to include no smoking policy to reduce pollution levels , free lung health checks and treatment , help to get people off the tobacco ? With meat industry maybe financial incentives to change business ? Why do we look at politicians they will never deliver ...

Was the demand for recognizing Amritsar as a holy city indicative of Sikh secessionism? We think not. Even prior to Indian independence the British had recognized the city as such, and the Sikhs were only demanding a revival of this circumstance. The following article would be quoted in the January 1984 edition of 'The Sikh Review:'

'The sacred "Guru ki Nagri" the town of Guru Ramdass, may well rejoice today that the benign government has sanctioned the removal of all liquor shops to outside of the city walls of Amritsar.'

-'The Tribune,' September 7, 1915.
