A big question mark on the Indian nuclear programme.
The nuclear tragedy of Japan has posed the following questions before the world in general and India in particular--
1-Should the poor put their lives to risk just because the rich should be able to sit in the Airconditioned rooms?
2-Do we want to leave the earth polluted worldwide by radiation hazards for thousands of years through the nuclear wastes produced by the nuclear power plants?
3-Are the Indian nuclear deals untainted? No much worry is being shown by the ruling class regarding the safety of the public even after the Japanese nuclear tragedy.

Crusade against corruption--Support needed
Today I received a news letter from YSL.It is as follows---------
<<<Dear Gursikh Veerji & Bhenji, A soldier, lone survivor in his unit in 1965 Indo-Pak war, Anna dedicated his life to the well- being of society. A bachelor, an ascetic, he has no possessions, no bank balance and lives in a temple. Who is Anna Hazare? In Maharashtra, Anna has single handedly transformed barren and dry regions into green and food surplus areas. He has fasted unto death on several earlier occasions. He forced the Maharashtra government to dismiss the corrupt - 6 ministers and 400 officers. Due to his fast, the govt enacted the Maharashtra RTI Act. In 2006, when government of India tried to amend the Central RTI Act, he again went on an indefinite fast and forced the Indian government not to amend RTI Act. Leaders, organizations and the common man from across India will be with him. This is a do or die moment – let us make it happen! Across India, join Swami Ramdev, Sri Sri Ravishankar, Swami Agnivesh, Arch Bishop Vincent Concessao, Mahmood A Madani, Kiran Bedi, J M Lyngdoh, Shanti Bhushan, Prashant Bhushan, Arvind Kejriwal, Mufti Shamoom Qasmi, Mallika Sarabhai, Arun Bhatia, Sunita Godara, All India Bank Employees Federation, PAN IIT Alumni Association, Common Cause and many other prominent organizations and leaders, as India comes out on the streets! 100+ CITIES WILL RALLY BEHIND ANNA! In the names that we see above, we do not see the Jathedar Akaal Thakhat or SGPC President. Maybe they have not yet sought permissions from the powers that matter or maybe corruption is a trivial issue for them!------------------

I feel that all who cherish truthful living need to give moral support to the Anti-corruption crusade of Anna Hazzare.

People's Party of Punjab-a new party launched by Manpreet Singh Badal
Manpreet Singh Badal launched a party called People's Party of Punjab.Manpreet BadaL appears to have conceived a good idea to pay what is due to the martyrs.He has instilled a hope among the Punjabis.Whether this party stands true to its promises is yet to be seen.The party promises to have a secular approach which is indeed very well in tune with the principles of Sikhism.

One lakh twenty five thousand
In schools there is a drill session early in the morning to instill discipline among the students.In army there is parade for a much longer time to make the soldiers obey the commands under all circumstances.For soldiers 9AM means 9AM.However in the present day Punjab---
1-If a person says'I Would be back in two minutes.'It is often equal to one hour or more.
2-'Would return something tomorrow morning is easily equal to the evening or beyond.
3-Would be speaking two words is equal to a speech of 15 minutes or more.
4-One morsel (Burki roti) is equal to a heavy meal
5-One sip(ghuutt)=Half a litre 6-Bhog at 10 AM can be anytime between 10AM to 1PM.
7-Four paise(.04Rupees)=4 crore rupees or even more
When I had newly taken Amrit we were living in Netaji Nagar New Delhi.I was in the first year of my college.An elderly Gursikh told me to be at Gurudwara at 5AM sharp for prabhat pheri(an early morning group singing of Shabad kirtan at the house of various Gurmukhs prior to Gurupurab).He asked me to be punctual and motivated me by saying that a Khalsa always honours his words.I reached there at 5AM exact only to see that the Gurudwara was burnt,Nishan Sahib broken and the khanda of Nishan Sahib turned over and over again as if it were a thin foil(It was 1st November 1984).I reached back home unhurt as the town was asleep due to the activites that could have been carried out by the people till late on the previous night.They were probably having a short nap.We remained unhurt.But in the evening of 2nd November(or may be 1st November) our window pane was smashed by a stone.My father was posted at Vishakhapatnam.I, my mother,elder brother and the eldest sister were numb.Ten minutes passed and nothing happened.We gathered courage and looked outside.No one was there either.We went outside to find out but did not see anyone.Those 20 minutes were equal to what I cannot say.
