I have gone through your article: "Understanding Dasam Granth" published in �Panchbati Sandesh� (Q), October � December 2000. You being the Head of Punjabi University, is it not possible to write in "PUNJABI" language so that maximum peoples in Punjab and adjoining areas could enjoy your thoughts? In fact, it is not only your duty but also to encourage others to popularize pMjfbI bolI .

When you go to any Super Market, do you buy all articles because alcohol, beer, cigarettes, playing cards etc. are also sold there?

Although, Governments appoint Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, he does not side with any group. Similarly you may be appointee of Chief Minister Parkash Singh Ji (Badal) but it is your responsibility to promote Punjabi language without preaching the merits of Dasam Granth or imposing the BJP-RSS-brahminical agenda on "Sikhs". Kindly follow the "isWK rihq mrXfdf" .
