- 'Zaziya tax' taken from Sikhs by Taliban in Pakistan -Aur... Ref-news item today--'Zaziya tax' taken from Sikhs by Taliban in Pakistan -Aurangzeb revived !!The Mughal Ruler Aurangzeb ,has been described as ''a great religious pious Muslim Emperor ,a simpleton who had no vices as he followed a strict Islam'' by UP and UPA text books .Today we read the news that Rs. 20 million Zaziya tax was paid by Sikhs living since centuries in Orakzai agency in FATA area of Pakistan..I think the great ruler's soul and his supporters all Over the sub continent would be smirking with approval of this rise of 'TRUE' Islamic rule again.This happenned as Pakistan state failed to give any protection of any kind of humane law to its Minorities.Here we in India are appointing a muslim lawyer ,with a written plea to Pakistan to appoint even a Pakistani lawyer ,for the mass murderer,A Kasab,a terrorist of Mumbai mayhem!! Those amongst us all who ignore the rise of Radical Islam in Pakistan and in parts of India,Asia and UK ,and believe in 'GOOD TALIBAN' concept should wake up and take notice of such gross harrassment of minorities under a Muslim majority ''rule'' anywhere in the world,even in a districts or a towns,villages anywhere even in parts of India.All of us know that there is no true religious freedom for any of the minorities in many parts of the GULF and Kingdom of Saud and our own envoys -many of them Muslims too are silent against many cases of gross injustice perpetrated on Indians there by the authorities their under garb of Islamic laws only due to pressure of petro dollar and job loss ! We all go on defending any tenet in any field implemented or defended by Radical Islam as a part of their ''culture'' even in our own Country forgetting that many times it is wrong and inhumane by any other standards any where else on the world.They disallow any changes in the common humane civic laws under garb of religion too.Many of their tenets,like anti family planning,anti women ,anti humane criminal civic laws may not stand modern humane basic rights today and many tryly humane pious Muslims and their leaders too should join hands to implement the relevant and humane interpretation of the law of the Faith they practice with Great discipline,brotherhood and intensity.I would love to hear loud voices of protests from our own secular media and muslim Indian-Pakistani leaders ,against this inhumane tax a 'Zaziya' -- a black mail to let live -- levied on Sikhs a minority under a 'Islamic ' rule there.I would like to hear protests even from radical Sikhs from across the border and in UK and Canada amny of whom who even still support a 'Khalistan' , to speak out with any guts against this injustice to our brethren Sikhs living in ' Islamic state of Pakistan'.Those of us who ignore such signals would have to carry the burden of the disaster for the sub continent and world in general as more and more pious common Muslims all over the world are sucked into a vortex of following some radical ,medevial, irrelevant anti humane tenets under garb of religion by the few who do not know at all what a Religion is for .Muslims all over could hold high the dignity of their Faith without harming the weak, innocents, women and minorities under their 'rule '.
- Sikhs in Pakistan pay 20 mn to Taliban as jazia Pakistan's Sikh community has been forced to pay Rs 20 million as jazia (religious tax) to the Taliban so as to return to their homes and resume business, a newspaper said on Thursday.The minority Sikh community on Wednesday met the Taliban demand in return for "protection" in Orakzai Agency in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas, the Daily Times reported. The Taliban then released Sikh leader Sardar Saiwang Singh and vacated the community's houses. The militia announced that the Sikhs were now free to live anywhere in the area. "They also announced protection for the Sikh community, saying no one would harm them after they paid jazia. Sikhs who had left the agency would now return to their houses and resume business," an official said.
- Mega blood donation camp today at Anandpur Sahib The Sikh holy town of Anandpur Sahib in Punjab will witness one of the biggest blood donation camps in the world March 10 during the Hola Mohalla celebrations at the Sikh shrine of Keshgarh Sahib, 90 km from here.The blood donation camp, in which over 25,000 units of blood are being targeted for collection within 24 hours, is being organised jointly by the Akal Takht, the highest temporal seat of Sikh religion, the Shiromani Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) and the Akal Purakh ki Fauj (Army of the Almighty).The blood donation camp itself will be organised on the campus of the Khalsa College at Anandpur Sahib, an SGPC official said here. "The camp will help overcome the wrong notions about blood donation," he added.He said that the Guinness Book of World Records has been invited for the historic and biggest-ever blood donation camp.Sikhs and people from other communities are expected to arrive here from all over India and Punjab to participate in the festival and donate blood. Up to one million devotees are expected to come for the Hola Mohalla celebrations.The annual Hola Mohalla festival is observed by the Sikh community at Anandpur Sahib to coincide with the Hindu festival of colours, Holi.Hola Mohalla is famous for its colourful celebrations and the traditional valour and display of acrobatic martial art by the 'Nihang' (traditional warrior Sikh sect) community. During the festival, the Nihangs are divided into two camps, 'Hola' and 'Mohalla' and a mock battle takes place between the two sides.Tens of thousands of people come to the festival every year in March. Anandpur Sahib is the place where the tenth Sikh Guru (master), Gobind Singh, had founded the 'Khalsa' (The Pure) on April 13, 1699. The modern Sikh religion, known for its bravery, sacrifice and entrepreneurship, derives much of its inspiration from the 'Khalsa Panth'.

- PM Manmohan Singh went to Nanded on Tercenteanary Celebra... Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh today offered prayers at Sachkhand Gurdwara in Nanded where lakhs of Sikhs are attending the main function of Guru-ta-Gaddi tercentenary celebrations.Amid chants of “Jo Bole So Nihal, Sat Sri Akal”, Dr. Singh offered a golden-coloured sword, saffron jacket and a chadar at the gurudwara where the tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh, had given the Granth Sahib to Nanded.Dr. Singh was accompanied by Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil, Tourism and Culture Minister Ambika Soni and Urban Development Minister S Jaipal Reddy. Maharashtra Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh and his Punjab counterpart Prakash Singh Badal were also present on the occasion.The occasion is being marked to celebrate 300 years of declaration of Guru Granth Sahib, the holy book of Sikhs, as the perpetual Guru in 1708 by Guru Gobind Singh, the 10th master of Sikhs.A large number of Sikhs from America and Europe are also participating in the congregation.“All the batches of Sikh Dharma International consisting of 60 people have come to celebrate the 300th anniversary of Guru Granth Sahib. All these Americans have come with lot of devotion. This is a big miracle that so many Americans have adopted our faith,” said Bhai Satpal Singh, chairman of Guru Ram Das Sikh Mission of America.“Like so many of us in the West are inspired to become Sikh to the teachings of Harbhajan Singh Khalsa Yogi-ji. He did a beautiful job of showing the message of the Sikh gurus,” said Ek Onkar Singh Khalsa, a Sikh converts from Mexico.It was in Nanded three hundred years ago, that Guru Gobind Singh designated the Adi Granth as Guru Granth Sahib, the perpetual Guru, ending the chain of human gurus.It is here that the Sachkhand Hazur Sahib Gurdwara, one of the five temporal thrones or seats of authority (Takhats), is located.This is also where Guru Gobind Singh meditated on the banks of the Godavari in his final days
- The World Comes To The Guru Nanded hosts a million Sikhs; Devotion takes over all emotions THREE HUNDRED YEARS ago, the Master knew the world will have little choice but to beat the door to this little, sleepy town. Such is the power of the True Word. Three hundred years ago, the tenth Sikh Master, Sahib Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, bestowed Guruship upon the Granth. Faith is now moving mountains. A million have converged already upon this town, all decked up in honour of the spirit of religion. And the reigning slogan is Guru Maneyo Granth.The Ganga flowed calmly near Patna where Guru Gobind Singh Ji had taken birth. This week many are finding their way to where the great wave found confluence with the swirling waters of Godavari.And hundreds of thousands on Monday lined along the banks of the river, ferrying gallons of water, adding it to the sacred waters of the ancient 'bauli' inside the Takht Abchal Nagar Huzur Sahib Complex complex. In such a way is the Takht Sahib being readied for the greatest of the occasions, the tercentenary of the Guruship of Guru Granth Sahib Ji.'Takht Ishnaan', an annual feature performed once a year on the Diwali eve, attracts impressive crowds, but on Monday, the number of pilgrims crossed all old records. They did not leave an inch of space along the 1.5 km walk from the banks of Godavari near the historic Gurdwara Nagina Ghat to the main gurdwara complex of Sachkhand sahib. Conservative estimates put the number of devout this morning at around 60,000 plus, including thousands coming from abroad to especially take part in this ceremony.Shastars of the Guru were also bathed in the water brought so lovingly by the devout.Jo Bole So Nihal shouts reverberated through the atmosphere, jathas of sangat kept rolling in every minute, and no one dare call the town sleepy anymore. Langars are on round the clock, and a strange convivialness is in the air. No Sikh is passing by the other without hailing out the Gur Fateh and the world is watching with wide eyes the spirit that the Guru imbued the followers with three centuries ago. One does wish that there were more stalls with books, that some one taken upon the sewa of distributing some literature and the SGPC had really showed itself to be the central body of the Sikhs instead of remaining at the periphery of most celebrations. But what was admirable was the absence of unnecessary and avoidable controversy over supremacy of the Granth.The inviting gold-gilded domes were being given a bath and karsewa volunteers precariously hung from the ropes in their efforts to carry out the task with diligence and total reverence and respect. The silver doors of the structure were brought down and cleaned with milk while the golden doors of the sanctum sanctorum were washed from the outside. The area behind the golden doors was accessible only to the Jathedar of the Takht Hazoor sahib, Giani Kulwant Singh, who dressed in bright saffron and yellow robes, scrubbed the place clean.Outside, there was a unique opportunity for the devouts to have a close look at the 3,000 odd 'shastar' (weapons), including the bows and arrows and wooden, hand crafted guns, belonging to Guru Gobind Singh, and which were brought out on Monday morning before the cleaning ceremony of the Takht. All the while, a huge 'nagara' (Drum) beat inside the gurdwara, in tune with the enthusiasm of those taking part in the seva.One’s heart goes out to the shradhha displayed by the devout. Old men and women were carefully carrying along the water trickling down the doors, walls and windows after washing and safely carried it away. And there were those who were rushing to seal the bottles because they planned to send it abroad to their relatives, a wish that underlines the immigrant’s pain that he carries despite all success in foreign lands. The tradition of Takhat Snan and deepmala was started about 200 years back by the locals. They carried water from the Godavari in pitchers to bathe the holy place and the arms.Baba Hardayal Singh, known as Ghaghariya Singh, starts the process by drawing the first pitcher from the river. Another tradition of performing the Aarti besides the Ardas on the river banks after the first pitcher is drawn was instituted four years back by Clean Godavari activists led by Ravinder Singh Modi, a local journalist.Tuesday night saw the gurdwara precincts all decorated with lights as the rest of the India celebrated Diwali. It was here that the Guru gave the source of permanent light to the community, and every single diya being lit up was a gesture of thanks to the Master.India’s PM Manmohan Singh will be paying obeisance at the bhog on October 30.As a city, Nanded residents can hardly recognize it any more. Overflowing with devouts, it has seen so much development that the residents are grateful to the Sikh community.It was an interesting sight to see the milk was sprayed from a fire-tender on the gurdwara as part of the activity.A large number of saints who have come from the US, the UK, Germany, Canada and various parts of the country also converged on the banks of the Godavri. The Maharashtra government and the management of Takht Hazur Sahib had made special security arrangements and divers of the Army were also deployed.

- Water News in Punjab Here's some scary stats on ground water in Punjab care of The Tribune:In the dark zones, pumps have gone down to a depth of 450 feet.Rain water can recharge groundwater only up to 80-90 feet. So, the pumps extracting water from a depth of 300-400 feet are drawing water from reserves that are irreplaceable.Nihal Singh Wala subdivision in Moga district is worst affected at an exploitation rate of 400 per cent.Number of tubewells have increased from 1.2 lakh in 1970s to 13 lakh in 2010.Groundwater decline has reached 50 to 100 cm per annum.During 1993 to 2003, the average fall in water table was 2 feet per year.Out of 70 blocks in the water table, in 40 blocks have gone down below 50 feet.The worst affected districts are Sangrur and Moga where the water table is below 50 feet.To top it off, ground water has been found to be undrinkable in over 100 Punjabi villages:High fluoride levels in water detected Gagan K. TejaTribune News Service Patiala, July 24Potable water has become the primary concern in villages throughout this district. According to a survey carried out by the Water Supply and Sanitation Department, water in over 100 villages of the district is unfit for drinking. This survey was carried out almost an year ago. The report was submitted around two months back that read that the water has a very high content of fluoride which makes the water unfit for drinking. This survey was also conducted in Ludhiana, Taran Tarn, Ferozepore and Faridkot but Patiala villages were found to be the worst hit.Fluoride, which leads to various diseases related to bones, have long-time effect on people. It leads to deformation of bones. It has been found out that the fluoride has infiltrated to the depth of 60 feet. Therefore the department has come up with a new scheme ‘Nirmal Jal’ which will enable people to get potable water. The tubewells would be further dug as the water at around 90 feet has lesser fluoride. The older schemes will be renewed and in villages where such schemes haven’t reached, this would be started with an investment of around Rs 30 lakh. Sources said the World Bank and the department had joined hands for the fulfillment of this scheme and it would be completed by 2011.And here's an interesting technique that farmers have developed to recharge groundwater:Overexploitation of ground water to meet irrigation needs has in recent years created a big problem of water shortage in Punjab. Unfortunately, rain water harvesting and recharging of ground water, which are the need of the hour, are virtually not in use in the state. But, some farmers of Ghal Kalan village in Moga district have developed an innovating technique to pull out extra water from the waterlogged fields through electric tubewells without consuming power. They do this with the help of natural gravitational force and atmospheric pressure. The technique is very simple. The farmers attach a 10-12 metre pipe with the main pipe of the tubewell and put in the water-logged paddy field by digging a small pit under it. Then by holding it in the water, the electric motor is switched on and as soon as water starts coming out of the pipe the motor is switched off. The water gushing out of the pipe stops and the atmospheric pressure forces the outside water into the pipe in a sudden reverse action and then the gravitational force keeps the system working in continuity sending the water under the ground through the bore well pipe. The water starts going down the ground at almost an equal speed by which it comes out. When the system starts working, the farmers place a basket made of wooden twigs under the pipe dipped in the flood water from where it gushes into the pipe. Another farmer Guljar Singh said he had saved his paddy crop that got completely submerged with the help of this technique within two days. “Water level in my fields has now come down from four feet to half feet without any damage to the crop”, he said.

From the website: www.SaveGurudwara.com-------------------------------------------A Texas Appeals Court has ruled that the new structure of the ONLY Austin Sikh Temple (Gurudwara) that has been in operation since 2003 be torn down!This unjust ruling by the court has sent shockwaves in the Sikh community. The fact that this is the only Sikh Temple (Gurudwara) within a 100 mile radius has infuriated the community.We are encouraging all freedom loving people to help us in our endeavour to reverse this over-reaching and unjust decision.Austin Gurdwara Sahib (AGS), a non-profit, Sikh organization purchased land in West side of the Greater Austin area in 2003 to start the first permanent Gurudwara in the Capital City.For years, religious services were hosted weekly in a manufactured home located on the property. In 2005, to improve the facilities, AGS, with the congregation’s support, decided to build a more contemporary building. In this regard, AGS applied for, and was granted, all the necessary permits from the city. The approval process from the city included meetings with Planning & Zoning committees as well as the City Council at large. AGS also met with and provided full disclosure to the neighborhood association.The construction commenced in late 2007, and the members of the Austin Sikh community celebrated laying the initial foundation stone of the first Sikh temple of its kind in Austin. However, the festive mood came to an abrupt stop immediately after the foundation had finished in Feb 2008, when the Bolliers filed for an injunction against the construction. John and wife Leslie, who is an attorney, were relative newcomers to the neighborhood arriving about 3 years after AGS had been using its property for religious services. Citing to the deed restrictions, the Bolliers argued vehemently against the construction of the Sikh Temple on the grounds that it would be an eye-sore and a traffic magnate, and would lower their property’s value.By agreement, AGS and the Bolliers agreed to cease construction until the issue was resolved by the trial court. In March 2009, the case was heard by Honorable Judge Susan Covington in the 353rd Judicial District in Travis County Texas. Over the course of several days, the court heard evidence presented by both sides, and rendered an informed decision denying Bollier’s request for an injunction and further ordered them to pay 80% of the associated court costs. In fact, the plantiff, Leslie Bollier, was cited for inequitable conduct in connection with the AGS use of the property.After the trial court’s favorable ruling, AGS proceded to complete the Temple construction over the next few months. Meanwhile, not satisfied with the trial court’s decision, Bolliers filed an appeal. In July 2010, months after the construction of the Temple was complete, the Appellate Court reversed the lower court’s ruling. In fact, it went so far as to order the completed structure to be torn down!Sikhs around the world and shocked, saddened, and flabbergasted by such an unjust ruling. The AGS intends to vigorously appeal and ask the court to reconsider its decision. A website www.SaveGurudwara.com is being set up to provide updates on the matter as well as to collect donations for the legal fight.
- Disputing Sikh extremism A great op-ed by Balpreet Singh in today's Ottawa Citizen. Its articulated a point of view that Sikh-Canadians have been desperately trying to get out into the mainstream. Definitely worth the read.Disputing Sikh extremismBY BALPREET SINGH BOPARAI As a Sikh Canadian, who was born in a Toronto suburb, roots for the Leafs, did law at the University of Ottawa, and works for a human rights organization, I'm astounded to hear claims from politicians that so-called "Sikh extremism" in on the rise.If that's the case, there's no word of it among the more than 400,000 members of the Canadian Sikh community. The only thing we see on the rise is racism fuelled by these reckless comments.As someone who wears the garb of his faith, I can tell you that the backlash we're feeling is beginning to look like state-sanctioned vilification of Sikhs.The evidence justifying this hate campaign is minimal. Most cite an offensive Facebook page attacking Vancouver MP Ujjal Dosanjh. I share his outrage and can understand his fear. Everyone knows Dosanjh's personal history includes being beaten by thugs, and I sympathize with how that experience must have shaped his life.But that doesn't give him the right to turn Sikhs into the bogeyman. Or whip up hatred for a visible minority.The other piece of Canadian evidence comes from 2007: a float in the Surrey, B.C. Vaisakhi parade displayed a picture of Talwinder Singh Parmar, who died in Indian police custody in 1992 and is widely believed to be one of the masterminds of the Air India bombing. What most people don't know is that Parmar's handful of supporters call him a martyr because they believe he is wrongly accused in the Air India tragedy. Some people, particularly of past generations, can't believe anyone connected with the faith could be involved in a mass murder.That makes them naive, not radical.Perhaps the most persuasive piece of "evidence" comes from Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh who has been telling news media that Sikh extremism is on the rise for more than three years -- although he offers little in the way of proof.But his allegation is an effective tool for quashing legitimate discussion of India's human rights abuses, which is the real purpose of India's claim that the Sikh diaspora is harbouring "extremists," particularly in England and Canada.Both countries are known as champions of free speech and civil rights, which means human rights groups like the one I work for, the World Sikh Organization of Canada, can and do highlight abuses in foreign countries. That's a problem for India as it seeks to rehabilitate its reputation and establish more trade in the West.While India is a democracy -- citizens vote -- it lacks some critical liberal democratic values. The justice system is notoriously corrupt, there are few protections for minority groups, and the ruling government is just as likely to enforce its will with guns as parliamentary debate.As Amnesty International's 2010 report on human rights abuses details, Indian security forces continue to terrorize their own citizens. The report also notes India's reluctance to prosecute those behind the 1984 massacre of more than 3,000 Sikhs that followed the assassination of then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.Canada has long been a leader in encouraging less developed countries to treat their citizens justly because oppressive regimes are ultimately unstable. That's dangerous internationally and bad business for a trading nation like Canada.So it's shocking to hear Canadian politicians trying to erode our own free speech guarantees by labeling discussion as "extremism."Recently Dosanjh took a distinctly Indian point of view when he told the Toronto Sun that disagreeing with the authorities is a sign of a radical."(Extremism) is much more entrenched, much more sophisticated (than it was in 1985)," Dosanjh said, after the release of the Major Commission report on the Air India tragedy. "It is much more moderate in appearance than you might otherwise see. People run peaceful campaigns and behind the peaceful campaigns is the evil design to hurt other people and to dismember other countries."That's an interesting view for a member of the Opposition to hold. Are we to assume that when the federal Liberal caucus campaigns against the Tory government they're harbouring the urge to attack them with baseball bats?We can trust they won't because that's not how we do it in Canada.That the Sikh community has been linked to the Air India tragedy which took 331 innocent lives is a shame and sorrow the community will always bear.But it's also worth remembering that the Major Commission found that in the 1980s Canadian Sikhs informed the RCMP of terrorist activities -- and were ignored.Today, more than a generation later, even more Sikhs are Canadian-born and the community is fully integrated. To claim, "Sikh extremism is on the rise" without evidence is akin to linking Gilles Duceppe and the Bloc Québécois to 1970s FLQ terrorists.To be blunt: Sikhs are a tight-knit community, if one of us was fomenting terrorism someone would have heard by now, and reported it.But all we hear are accusations. And the warning to keep quiet about human rights abuses in India lest we be labeled "extremists."I plan to ignore that intimidation tactic. There is a long, proud tradition in Canada of encouraging foreign states to improve their human rights practices.My organization will continue to stand up for Sikhs in oppressive states, just as we will continue speaking up for our fellow Canadians when their right to don a kilt or a hijab or build a succah hut is denied.Despite what foreign politicians are saying, there is no evidence of Sikh extremism and Canadian Sikhs are much like the rest of the country: We don't believe in violence (except at hockey games).Balpreet Singh Boparai is legal counsel for the World Sikh Organization of Canada, a human rights organization that recently championed an Alberta teenager's right to wear a kilt to graduation.© Copyright (c) The Ottawa Citizen

- My Punjab is Under Water Most of us second generation Sikh-Canadians aren't even aware that Punjab is going through one of its worst monsoon seasons in years. Flooding is widespread and the receding water is bringing with it widespread devastation and the potential for disease. As expected, the government response has been useless with people left to fend for themselves. Here's some videos:

Lauran Janes discusses her personal experience with dharma. For more of Lauran Janes' thoughts on Yoga join us at YogaStudio9.com Acording to Wikipedia: Dharma (Sanskrit: dhárma, Pāḷi dhamma) is a multivalent term of great importance in Indian philosophy and religions. In the context of Hinduism, it means one's righteous duty,[1] and a Hindu's dharma is affected by the person's age, class, occupation, and gender.[2] In modern Indian languages it can be equivalent simply to religion, depending on context. The word dharma translates as that which upholds or supports, and is generally translated into English as law. According to the various Indian religions, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism, beings that live in accordance with Dharma proceed more quickly toward dharma yukam, moksha or nirvana (personal liberation). The antonym of dharma is adharma meaning unnatural or immoral. In traditional Hindu society, dharma has historically denoted a variety of ideas, such as Vedic ritual, ethical conduct, caste rules, and civil and criminal law. Its most common meaning however pertains to two principal ideals: that social life should be structured through well-defined and well-regulated classes (varna), and that an individual's life within a class should be organized into defined stages.Lauran Janes discusses her personal experience with dharma.
