Bring Back Jagannath Azad’s Pakistan Anthem Re: # 61

Bhagat Singh and Udham Singh belonged to the "Indian Socialist Republican Army" and they had spelt out their ideology loud and clear. Read about history if you don't know. Many of Bhagat Singh's own writings are available online.

giani ji, there is overwhelming evidence from psychological studies and educational experts always believe that a child's best chances to education are through his/her mother tongue. Nobody says that english should not be taught but it should not be done at the cost of local languages and as far as possible, should not be used as medium of teaching in countries where it is not the language of the majority.

Gilgit-Baltistan : A Deprived and Subjugated Region DM ji, I dont think Dogras were neutral during anglo-sikh wars. Sikhs still blame dogras for the annexatiuon of Punjab though their own house was badly in disarray. Also, this distiction of sikhs vs dogras was made later; at that time, all were just sikhs.
I think even Jindaan had accused dogras of killing her brother and according to Shah Mohammad, it was she who wanted to take revenge of her brother's murder from the whole baadshahat of Punjab for which she approached the british.

Pakistan India: Citizens Push for Peace people on both sides always wanted peace, problem is the ruling class- more so on Pakistan's side.

Today's news is that Pakistan's establishment has blocked the satellites partially, which were being used by terrorists for communication through satellite phones. Now the terroroists can still use the satellite phones but their conversation can not be intercepted and recorded (which had given the biggest evidence in Bombay case)
Pakistan's govt is fighting the Taleban under American pressre but people like Hafiz Sayed are being released and LeT etc are still freedom fighters. What can one expect till this double face continues?

Inspite of this, people who strive for peace on both sides need to be commended for their efforts and such efforts need to continue.

The Shrinking Boundaries of Sikhism delhiwala

no use of pointing fingers at external forces--arya samaj or haryanvis or RSS or whatever. The faults lie within and thats where the corrective measures are needed.

Sikhi has never succumbed to any pressures from outside - thats rather what has always made us stronger. Mughal period was the wort period for sikhi and thats when sikhi became strongest.

The Shrinking Boundaries of Sikhism Sheru,
Khalsa is part of sikhi and thats what it should remain- just one part and attaining that level has to be individual achievment based on the deeds, devotion and willingness to bring onesef to that level, I don't think it needs to be advertised. I feel the creation of hierarchy within sikh fold based on this factor is detrimental and is sure to drive people away specially when highly derogatory terms like 'patit' are used to describe them. Taking amrit or not is an individual's personal decision and should not determine a sikh's social position within the community.

The Shrinking Boundaries of Sikhism Isn't it paradoxical when one has to talk abouut bondaries of an order which took its birth in response to te strangulating boundaries of the main faiths of that time?
Guru Gobind Singh, after creating the Khalsa never said that those who do not partake amrit will be no more sikhs. He created Khalsa from within the sikh mat and Khalsa was supposed to be the humblest of all becase being Khalsa means killing your 'ego' and dedicating yourself to serve the humanity; but what we see now is that amritdharis are the most arrogant, not different at all from the prototypal 'tilakdhari brahman.

what needs to be done?

1. define sikh just as someone who declares hiself/herself to be so and respects SGGS, 10 gurus and all those whose baani is included in SGGS.

2.Dukaandaari of 'amrit chhakao' needs to stop..if someone wants to partake amrit he/she can do at any of the 5 takts.

3 Non amritdharis should be allowed to be members/office bearers of SGPC shoud be able to take part in manageent/seva of gurudwaras and also should be abe to conduct paath/akhandpaath etc.

4. gurudwaras should not be allowed to be used for any political activities and politics and reigion need to be kept separate.

5. The tradition of issuing hukamnamas and excommunicating people needs to be stopped.

Amritdharis control all te institutions in sikhism and thats how they dictate to others. Unless this monopoly is broken, sikhism can not dream of increasing its reach and will keep on shrinking further.

The Shrinking Boundaries of Sikhism from my blog:

Baba Nanak started sikhism to liberate people from ritualism and present day sikhi is being strangulated with new rituals by the same people who call themselves to be followers of baba Nanak. Untill this paradox is resolved, sikhi is doomed.

Expecting to Hate Delhi but Loving it Instead I did not like the melodrama in the second half which clearly appeared very artificial, but first half was quite interesting.
Looking for pro Congress or anti BJP message is also like taking things too far like the stretching of the second half of the film. Indian voter is not that stupid.
