Thanks Advocate Balbir Singh jee Sooch for your brilliant
article. I fully agree with you that Fundamental Rights mentioned in the
Constitution of India have no meaning to 67% Indians. When I was in Delhi, it
was well known saying: "You show me a man, I will show you the Rule".
Sikhs started experiencing it since 15 August 1947, but it was legalised on 26
January 1950 and since then we have been seeing discrimination openly from 13
April 1978...... The law of Mannu & Samriti (The Brahminical Doctrine)
continues to be in force or I will call it Brahminical Dictatorship ! Let us try
to get rid of this 'cancerous malady' !

Dear Professor Inder Singh jee
(Patiala),
Waheguru jee ka Khalsa
Waheguru jee kee Fateh
After reading your Book and listening to your three MP3CDs, we
requested for your assistance on the above-mentioned subject matter but we have
not received any response so far.
If you remain busy all the time, you can ask your worthy son
(Kanwardeep Singh & Daughter-in-law) to let us know as there are no Punjabi
printing facilities. Moreover, here printing cost is exorbitant when compared to
Punjab.
At the same time will you please let us know the cost including
delivery in respect of your three or more MP3CDs - Sikh Sidhaant, Kee Eh Sikhaan
Dey Teiohaar Hann ? Ethaas Bolda Hai if we order 100 sets with paper or plastic
pouch. These will be distributed here without any cost as Sikh Khalsa Mission
Incorporated does not sell any such material.
With best wishes,
Gurmit
Singh [Tel. No. 61 - 2 - 9837 2787]

Dear Makhan Singh jee,
I still reckon that Prof. Inder Singh
jee seems to be the most appropriate person to undertake this SEVA and all
printing costs we will try to pay. Although I am not the right person, I will go
through those articles before sending for print, in consultation with the
Authors concerned if they no objection. I am sure we will receive his consent by
20 Feb 2005. Let us await his positive response.

Moreover the article concerned must be provided to Guru KI Sangat & the

suggestion. If you get some time, in consultation with close well wishers, you
may like to compile all such articles which have appeared on your website and
arrange with appropriate headings and then request Prof. Inder Singh jee
(Patiala) to arrange for their cheap printing in paperback book form with a
minimum price without any profit. Then such beautifully written articles should
go into the hands of thousands in Punjab and elsewhere. Now they remain in
computer only. We all can contribute for the cost of printing etc. And such a
book should not exceed 200 pages and there should not be any Copy Rights. In
this way we can do Sikhi Parchaar as otherwise sant-babas with their Hindu Myth
will continue to flourish with the protection of SGPC and other touts.
Thanks for your Nishkaam Services.

Responding to a complaint by World Sikh Council - America
Region (WSC-AR), CafePress.com, a leading internet marketplace network, has
worked with its store to remove an item that had the Khanda (Sikh religious
symbol) printed on underwear for sale on its website.
WSC-AR contacted CafePress.com this afternoon via e-mail and
phone. In an e-mail to CafePress.com, WSC-AR wrote, "We are very disappointed to
know that CafePress is selling an item offensive to the Sikh faith.. The
(underwear) with the Sikh symbol and the accompanying language is racist and
demeans the Sikh faith. This is especially hurtful because the Sikh community
has been preferentially victimized after 9/11." WSC-AR requested CafePress.com
to immediately remove this item from the website as it is offensive to the Sikh
faith.
Within four hours of being contacted by WSC-AR, CafePress.com's
Consent Usage Team informed us via e-mail that "We spoke with our shopkeeper
today and the individual agreed to remove (the) product .We are pleased to have
reached a resolution of this matter."
Dr. Tarunjit Singh, Secretary General and Chair of Interfaith
Committee of WSC-AR said, "We are pleased at the prompt and positive response of
CafePress.com. We further appeal to them to consider removing similar items with
Christian, Islamic, Jewish, Buddhist, and Hindu faith
symbols."

Introduction to Sikhism Course at McGill University
Montreal- Fifty-one students have already registered for
a course on Sikhism at McGill University this year. This is a significant
increase over the registration of 29 students last year. It is an indication of
increasing interest in Sikh studies among North American students.
More interestingly, the majority of the class at McGill is
non-Indian and non-Sikh. There are 27 Christians, 11 Hindus, 6 Sikhs, 2 Muslims
and 4 Jews. The class even attracted a Chinese student.
Courses on Sikhism are currently offered at many institutions
of higher learning in North America. Among them are included; University of
Waterloo, York University, University of Victoria, University of Toronto,
University of British Columbia, Acadia University, Saint Mary's University,
University College of Cape Breton, Queen Elizabeth High School, University of
Calgary, Stanford University, University of California at Santa Barbara,
University of California at Berkley, University of California at Santa Cruz,
University of California at Riverside, University of California at San Jose,
University of Michigan, Hofstra University, Columbia University, Colby College,
and University of Missouri-Columbia.
At McGill, the 3 credit course was started only four years
ago. As the Sikh Chaplain at McGill, Manjit Singh submitted the course proposal
to the Dean of Religious Studies. Prior to January 2002, McGill had never
offered a course on Sikhism. The course was first offered through the generous
financial support of the Canadian Sikh Council and Sikh philanthropist, Sardar
Baljit Singh Chadha.
Like at other institutions of higher learning, the course on
Sikhism at McGill had a humble beginning with enrollment that began to increase
gradually. However, there was a sudden surge in interest among the McGill
students this year.
In September 2004, the Faculty of Religious Studies and the
Canadian Sikh Council jointly sponsored an interfaith conference on the Guru
Granth at McGill University. This two days conference honored the 400th
Anniversary of the compilation of the Holy Scripture. Academic scholars of
various religious disciplines and many civic as well as political leaders
participated. The quality of presentations and the general enthusiasm of the
academics on the newly emerging discipline of studies may have been a
contributory factor in increasing the interest of the student community in the
Guru Granth studies.
Professor Manjit Singh is the sole instructor. He includes in
this course; the development of Sikhism beginning from the fifteenth century,
introduction to the history, scripture, beliefs and rituals of the Sikhs.
Professor Singh concludes this course with the evolution of the Sikh communities
of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and their migrations to North
America.
Manjit Singh developed the present course as a labor of love
over the years. He is presently developing a higher level course on Sikhism to
meet the needs of those who have already taken the introductory course and may
like to continue their interest in the Sikh studies. Further, he helps others
develop similar courses at their respective campuses. He certainly deserves
outstanding recognition for this effort.

Dear Makhan Singh jee,
Waheguru jee ka Khalsa Waheguru jee kee
Fateh
I have gone through all the three articles by you, Gurcharan
Singh jee and Gursharan Singh jee. Very nice. Please keep up Charhdi Kalaa.
Prof. Inder Singh Ghagga (Patiala) also writes very good articles on such issues
and he could also be requested to send his articles - Giani Surjit Singh jee
(Delhi) has also been sharing his tracts.
From Sikhi point of view, Sikhs in Canada should oppose any
such law on gay/lesbian marriages. Such western thinking has overtaken animals
as even cats, dogs or rats won't act like them ! Human Rights Charter does not
apply to Akaalpurkh's Creation. It may be alright for the sake of their votes.
Their living together as friends, mates like sharing accommodation is OK but
they should not accrue any benefit of a married life. Sikhs should not recognize
such arrangement. Please tell your other friends to raise this issue in Daily
Newspapers. God has not done anything wrong. Have Moon, Sun, stars ever sought
equal status? Are we equal within Human Rights Charter - some are rich some are
poor; some are powerful others are weak/slave; tall or short, fat or thin !
Sikhs should always raise their voice like Babarbaani and not to encourage
aiding and abetting! We should always call a spade a spade without any bias or
fear. Thanks for your bold stand.

Pledge1 is a group of Children and Youth between the age of
9 and 18 years meeting on a weekly basis in Toronto. We are discussing an
article Encounter of Nanaksdas with Christians by Dr.
Kuldip Singh of Chandiagrh on your website and have following questions
1) Where is a small booklet of 30-40 pages avaiable
to provide the essence of Guru Granth Sahib for school
children ?
2) Is there any other treatise of such kind
available/written by anyone or in progress of being written?
3) Has any research been done on the
participatory leadership model in Sikhism? If yes, which resources print or
online can we consult?
4) Please convey our thanks to Dr. Kuldip Singh. Can we
get his email?
Again, thank you so much for your Great Seva to the community.
