I have ben trying to attach a file but have not been
successful for the last two weeks. I have read Giani Bhag Singh's Dasam Granth
Nirnay ( It was so called when published for the first time) and never believed
it to be from the mighty pen of Tenth Nanak. I happen to have a cursory glance
at Hindu Puranas, Mahabharta, Ramayana during my school days as my father has a
large collection of Hindu Mythological books, and even these are not obscene in
true sense, though mention of rape, women's beauty, etc., do appear even in
Mahabharta.The so called Triya Charitra is not part of well known Hindu
Mythology( Ramayana, Mahabharta, Eighteen Puranas) Vedanta contains
plilosophical discourses and differs in great extent from the path laid down by
Guru Nanak. If you agree I will try to send brief of only two Upnishads,
Ishavasyo and Kathopnishad.Most of the Hindus even do not know about these
important Upnishads, as with us sikhs (Young generation of sikhs most probably
do not know even names of all Gurus, Sahibzadas, Panth Piyaras, Banis of Nitnem,
and long Banis in Guru Granth Sahib).Please try to put on you site, the code of
ethics a sikh has to follow in his life.(It can be compared with code of ethics
of other faiths, and even western philosophers).

WSC-AR Commends SGPC for Deciding to Withdraw Nomination of
Siri Darbar Sahib for UNESCO World Heritage Status; Appeals to SGPC to Ensure
Immediate Withdrawal of Nomination by Government of India
FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE
April 21, 2005
Contact: Dr. Tarunjit Singh,
Secretary General, 614-210-0591,
World Sikh Council - America Region
(WSC-AR)
P.O. Box 3635, Columbus, Ohio 43210, USA
Phone: 614-210-0591,
Fax: 419-535-6794
Website: www.worldsikhcouncil.org
The World Sikh Council - America Region (WSC-AR) notes with
satisfaction media reports that on April 21, 2005 the Executive Committee of the
Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) recommended that the proposal to
declare Siri Darbar Sahib a UNESCO world heritage site should be
withdrawn.
The WSC-AR has been advised by UNESCO's World Heritage Centre
that only the State Party of India (Government of India through its Permanent
Delegation to UNESCO) has the authority to withdraw this nomination.
Mr. Amolak Singh, Chairperson of WSC-AR remarked "We request
the SGPC to ask the Government of India for the immediate withdrawal of the
nomination and its accompanying dossier. We also call upon the SGPC and other
Sikh organizations in Punjab and the rest of India to act without delay and,
should the Indian Government hesitate, organize massive peaceful protests to
ensure that the Government of India withdraws this ill-fated
nomination."
Dr. Tarunjit Singh, Secretary General of WSC-AR said, "We call
upon the Government of India to respect the religious sentiments of one of its
religious minorities, to immediately withdraw the nomination and dossier
submitted by it to UNESCO, and to end this interference in the religious affairs
of the Sikhs. WSC-AR also requests Sikhs all over the world to ask the State
Party of India to end this misadventure."
WSC-AR calls upon Sikh organizations across the world to
urgently contact their respective country's UNESCO delegation and request they
vote no for world heritage status for Siri Darbar Sahib, prior to the July 2005
potential vote at the meeting of the World Heritage Committee in South
Africa.
The World Sikh Council - America Region (WSC-AR) has reviewed
the nomination dossier and communicated over the last several months with the
UNESCO World Heritage Centre. It is the considered opinion of the WSC-AR that
the request to nominate Siri Darbar Sahib as a cultural symbol of Indian
civilization by the Government of India is wrong and ill-advised.
The dossier submitted by the Government of India to UNESCO is
misleading, has serious flaws, and is strongly objected to by Sikhs around the
world.
The WSC-AR has written letters to the Prime Minster of India,
President of SGPC, and officials at UNESCO as well as the US Mission to UNESCO
requesting immediate withdrawal of this nomination.
The fundamental argument set forth in the nomination dossier
that Siri Darbar Sahib represents the cultural heritage and uniqueness of Indian
civilization is misleading and incorrect. Such claims undermine the religious
importance of this site and are offensive. The status of Siri Darbar Sahib in
the Sikh Religion is similar to that of the Kaaba in Islam and the Vatican in
Roman Catholicism. Kaaba is not a Saudi Arabian cultural site but the center of
Islam; the Vatican is not an Italian cultural entity but the center of the Roman
Catholic faith. Neither of these two places is on the World Heritage List under
Saudi Arabia or Italy. Siri Darbar Sahib is the heartthrob of a living faith; it
is not an archeological relic or a symbol of Indian culture and it is not a
cultural tourist site.
Along with Siri Darbar Sahib, the Government of India has also
nominated a railway project in North-East India for world heritage status. The
Bombay Railway Station is another place already so designated by UNESCO.
Siri Darbar Sahib, Amritsar, as center of the Sikh faith,
already has an exalted status and any action to place it on any list alongside
archeological sites or other buildings, complexes, structures, railway stations
would be an insult to our most cherished shrine and to the entire Sikh
community.
Two public statements issued earlier by WSC-AR on March 29 and
April 10 can
be accessed at www.worldsikhcouncil.org.
The WSC-AR is a representative and elected body of Sikh
Gurdwaras and institutions in the United States. Its members include 37
Gurdwaras (Sikh places of worship) and other Sikh institutions across the
nation.

CONGRATULATIONS TO POPE BENEDICT XVI WITH HUMBLE SUBMISSION
(JOSEPH RATZINGER–GERMAN CARDINAL)
First of all, it is happy occasion to congratulate you on
your very secret and most democratic election as a religious head of a very
powerful section of people to give a message of God for peace of humanity
throughout the World.
Today, the conversion is being seen in action everywhere for
destabilizing the existing society in particular or specific sphere resulting
into hatred, isolation, distrust and violation etc through this undignified act
which should be discouraged, otherwise gaining knowledge of all religions is
appreciable by the persons who have capacity and constructive intelligence to do
so. The exploitation of human weaknesses for enhancing and backing ‘divide and
rule’ policy must be checked for
peace, which can
be the only desire of God.
To my mind, the reasons for conversion in brief are as under:
(1) Lack of self-dignity;
- Suffering from inferiority complex resulting into hypocrisy to show that
he/she is doing something different and has landed in some superior class
but actually all this is being done by the individual concerned to cover
up his/her own disqualification or inferiority complex by keeping others
in mental agony;
- Feelings of self created isolation;
- Lack of knowledge of teachings of religion including effect of
misinterpretation, defective management and implementation of one’s own
real religion;
- Devotion to master at working place not to God;
- Due to greed and expectation of more economical gains in the long run
through this type of undignified short cut;
- No value for self-respect;
- Discarded individually or as a section by his countrymen due to seen or
unseen reasons;
- Superiority of one of family members to dictate his own terms and
conditions against the wishes of other members and taking undue advantage
of their poverty, duress, isolation, incapability etc or to degrade them
and his own relatives/parents, near and dear ones in the eyes of society
due to his ingratitude behaviour or at the instance of some mischievous
reasons.
Kindly entrust my submission.

Human Rights Activist; and

WSC-AR Follows up With UNESCO on Consideration of Siri
Darbar Sahib; Calls
Upon Sikh Community to Organize Worldwide
Protests
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 10, 2005
Contact: Dr.
Tarunjit Singh, Secretary General, 614-210-0591,
World Sikh Council -
America Region (WSC-AR)
P.O. Box 3635, Columbus, Ohio 43210, USA
Phone:
614-210-0591, Fax: 419-535-6794
Website: www.worldsikhcouncil.org
The World Sikh Council - America Region (WSC-AR) notes with
satisfaction media reports that a majority of the dossier special sub-committee,
appointed by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), has recommended
that the proposal to declare Siri Darbar Sahib a UNESCO world heritage site
should be withdrawn immediately. WSC-AR also notes that the SGPC is considering
the recommendations of the sub-committee.
Unfortunately, the matter does not rest there. The WSC-AR has
been advised in the last few days by Mr. Giovanni Boccardi, Chief of Asia and
Pacific Unit of UNESCO's World Heritage Centre (WHC) in Paris, France, that: -
"On 25th of March, the WHC had received a request from SGPC to suspend the
project.The request of SGPC had been immediately conveyed to the State Party of
India through its Permanent Delegation to UNESCO. No response to date has been
received by WHC from the State Party of India." - "India has the option of not
responding to the clarification asked of it regarding SGPC's request to suspend
the process."
- "The SGPC was not the nominating entity but instead it was
the State of Party of India.The nomination cannot be withdrawn by SGPC but that
the State Party of India is the only authority that can withdraw the nomination.
If the State Party of India chooses not to respond or declines to withdraw the
nomination, there is not much WHC can do."
- "In the case the State Party of India chooses not to withdraw
the nomination, it will be processed under the current framework and will come
up for consideration and possible approval in the July 2005 meeting of the 21
member World Heritage Committee to be held in South Africa. This meeting will be
chaired by a representative of South Africa."
- Written communications submitted to UNESCO are "shared with
the 21 members of the World Heritage Committee" as summary comments but not
verbatim..."However, all correspondence is shared with ICOMOS [International
Council on Monuments and Sites] and it is kept fully informed on all matters
pertaining to a nomination."
- UNESCO has "received many letters and communications from
Sikh organizations across the world raising objections and concerns with regard
to the nomination and its submitted dossier."
- Media reports that a representative of UNESCO will be
visiting Siri Darbar Sahib soon are "incorrect" because "the visit of the UNESCO
representative will be to the Buddhist Mahabodhi Temple in Bihar, and not to
Siri Darbar Sahib."
- Mr. Boccardi "will be meeting with the Director of the
Archeological Survey of India next week."
Because the SGPC does not have the authority to withdraw the
nomination made by the State Party of India, the fact that it has withdrawn its
request or requested that the nomination be in abeyance is not material to the
world heritage nomination process. Unless withdrawn by the State Party of India,
the nomination "will be processed under the current framework and will come up
for consideration and possible approval in the July 2005 meeting of the 21
member World Heritage Committee to be held in South Africa."
WSC-AR affirms that the request to nominate Siri Darbar Sahib,
Amritsar, as a cultural symbol of Indian civilization by the State Party of
India is mischievous and wrong. The dossier submitted by the State Party in
collaboration with the SGPC is misleading, has serious flaws, and is strongly
objected to by Sikhs around the world.
The fundamental argument set forth in the nomination dossier
that Siri Darbar Sahib represents the cultural heritage and uniqueness of Indian
civilization is misleading and incorrect. Such claims undermine the religious
importance of this site and are offensive. The status of Siri Darbar Sahib in
the Sikh Religion is similar to that of the Kaaba in Islam and the Vatican in

immediately withdraw the nomination and dossier submitted by it to UNESCO, and
to end its interference in the religious affairs of the Sikhs. WSC-AR requests
Sikhs all over the world to ask the State Party of India to end this
misadventure.

urgently contact their respective country's UNESCO delegation and request they

WSC-AR especially calls upon the SGPC and other Sikh
organizations in Punjab and the rest of India to act without delay and organize
massive peaceful protests to ensure that the State Party of India withdraws this
ill-fated nomination.
WSC-AR has been in touch with UNESCO since January 2005 and has
exchanged several written communications. On March 29, 2005, WSC-AR had publicly
urged UNESCO and its World Heritage Centre to immediately drop the consideration
of Siri Darbar Sahib, Amritsar for world heritage status after reviewing a
written response from UNESCO and the complete three-volume nomination dossier.
In a letter addressed to Mr. Francesco Bandarin (Director of UNESCO World
Heritage Centre), dated March 25, 2005, WSC-AR had communicated that pursuing
this project would entail serious protests by Sikhs around the globe as
interference in their religious affairs. The March 29, 2005 press statement
issued by WSC-AR can be accessed at www.worldsikhcouncil.org.
The WSC-AR is a representative and elected body of Sikh
Gurdwaras and institutions in the United States. Its members include 36
Gurdwaras (Sikh places of worship) and other Sikh institutions across the
nation.

Dear Mr Brar and his associates,
A very well written
Question to the Jathedar Akal Takht, Singh Sahib Vedanti.
I would like to request you to pose the following question (#
13 in your letter) to the Vice Chancellors of the Guru Nanak Dev University and
Punjabi University also where their professors are working on Gurbani and
Sikhism to prove that the philosophy in Aad Guru Granth Sahib is based on Vedas
and Upanishads. Keeping that in views the Hindu scholars are openly declaring
that;
THERE IS NO ORIGINALITY AND UNIQUENESS IN NANAKIAN
PHILOSOPHY.
Please read my article: OMKAR; and the response to the SGPC
Dossier of World Heritage Status (Sent to you and Mr Sangha a few days ago).
Undermining of the Nanakian Philosophy is going on at a very
high level and is being done by the Sikh scholars.
The duty of Vedanti Jee is to excommunicate the Sikh scholars
who are trying to portray the originality and uniqueness of Nanakian Philosophy.
On the other hand those who undermine the Nanakian Philosophy are being honored
with degrees, high posts, extension in their retirements, and with many other
benefits by Universities, the Jathedars, SGPC, and many Sikh organizations in
India and abroad.
I am with you people. Think over it what to do on a big scale
to awaken the Sikhs who are busy in making Gurdwara of marble and gold and
wasting money on Nagar Kirtans, Akhand Paaths, etc.
I will be in Toronto on May 7 Saturday. If possible I would
like to meet you and your associates once again to put my views on this
situation since I failed to do so in our last meeting.

Subject: Darbaar Sahib, Amritsar nomination as World Heritage by India.
Dear Sir
We have come to know through media that you have received a
nomination from the government of India through SGPC for grant of world Heritage
status to Darbaar Sahib at Amritsar in India. Our organization strongly opposes
this move and requests you to reject this nomination outright. If you go ahead
to grant this status you will be a party to a great crime committed against
humanity. We are making this statement on the basis of following facts:
1. The dossier for nomination of Darbaar Sahib is a
deliberate distortion of Sikh religion and its tenets. This precisely is the
reason why this document was not made public before being sent to your office.
The one and only motive of this distortion is to present Sikhism as a sect of
Hinduism. It is to be noted that out of the 50 odd people who prepared this
document only 6 are Sikhs. To start with even the original name has been
distorted and changed from Darbaar Sahib to Sri Harimadir Sahib. If the purpose
is to preserve the heri! tage then the original name sould have been retained.
The name Darbaar Sahib is still popular among the ordinary Sikhs. The name
Harimandir is being promoted to make Darbaar Sahib look like another Mandir
(temple) of Hinduism. This becomes evident when it is suggested in the text of
the Dossier that the structure of Darbaar Sahib is based on the philosophy of
Vedas and Upanishads. This is absolutely wrong. Sikhism is a distinct religion
and has nothing to do with Hinduism or any other religion as for as its
philosophy is concerned. It has been suggested that three levels of Darbaar
Sahib are personifications of three letters of the word OAM which represents the
concept of Trinity of God in Hinduism. It has been further stated that this word
OAM is part and parcel of beginning verse of Sikhism which reads as Ekkoankaar.
However the fact is that Guru Nanak Sahib, the founder of Sikhism rejected this
concept of Trinity by qualifying God with digit One. Ekk means one in Punjabi
and Oanka! ar means the force that permeates this cosmos. The most prominent
feature of the structure of Darbaar Sahib is that it has got four doors which
remain open to all irrespective of any caste, creed, race or gender. What this
means is that this place is open for every one irrespective his/her caste or
creed or gender. This has not been highlighted as this makes Darbaar Sahib
distinct from Hindu Temples where people from lower castes can not enter to
pray.
2. It has been suggested that this place has been selected
for building the shrine by Sikh Gurus due to the healing powers of its waters.
This is gross misrepresentation of historical facts and distortion of tenets of
Sikhism. With the growing number of followers it was the need to the time to
establish a bigger centre of preaching. There was no existing pond or Sarovar
with water having healing powers at this place. This place was bought by paying
a sum of seven hundred to the then Mughal King of India. Sikhism does not
believe in any miracles and all the stories quoted about the healing powers of
the water are figments of imagination.
3. Darbaar Sahib is of extreme historical importance to Sikhs
as a religious entity. It is not at all a cultural place. The Culture of
Amritsar is same as other places in Punjab in India and Pakistan. Darbaar Sahib
has the same importance to Sikhs all over the world even though they have
nothing do with the Punjabi Culture. It will be blunder and crime against
humanity if we preserve this place as pl! ace of cultural interest.
4. The most important event in the history of Darbaar Sahib
is the compilation of the Guru Granth Sahib by our Fifth Guru, Guru Arjan Sahib.
By doing this, the great Guru has preserved the writings of his predecessors and
many other Saints who propagated the same philosophy in its original, form and
content for all generations to come. Any one interested can read and find out
what Sikh Gurus taught and lived for. This dossier is intended to misguide the
public about Sikhism. When accepted this document will become an authentic
sourc! e of information about Sikhs and Sikhism. So it will be in the interest
of humanity if you better double check what has been said in this dossier. You
must verify whether its contents are corroborated by what has been written in
Guru Granth Sahib. Our team is working on the dossier and will send you a
detailed report of these distortions in next 4 weeks time.
5. Another aspect to be noted about this dossier is that most
of the quotations from Guru Granth Sahib have been quoted out of context to
support the weird ideas of its writers. An example will be relevant here. In
Volume 1, at page 24 the author is discussing the concept of Piri (the spiritual
strength). The learned writer quotes a verse from Guru Nanak about humility and
then relates it to the geographical position of the Darbaar Sahib. In his view
the low lying area of the precinct is an expression of humility. This obviously
is ! not correct. The low lying area was an architectural necessity to build a
pond or Sarovar of water. There are many other which we will send you in our
detailed report.
We hope you will consider our request and stall any further
proceedings on the issue.
With Kind regards
Waryam Singh

Washington, April 2, 2005 - Sikh Council on Religion and
Education (SCORE) and Guru Gobind Singh Foundation(GGSF), based in Washington,
has expressed sorrow at the death of Pope John Paul II. Dr. Rajwant Singh,
National Chairman of SCORE said, "WE express our deep sorrow at the demise
of Pope John Paul II. He was a godly person who gave hope to many in need and
brought smiles on many faces. He enjoyed a unique moral stature.He worked hard
to highlight the plight of the people behind the Iron curtain and eventually
gave them the hope to fight for their own freedom. He was a symbol of freedom
and justice for all people."
Dr Singh added "During his pontificate John Paul II
tried to create bridges of friendship and understanding among and with all
religions. His was a great ministry of reconciliation. His leadership in calling
the meeting of Assisi in 1986 of different religious leaders gave an impetus to
worldwide interfaith movement." Pope invited the Sikhs at this gathering
for the first time.
Dr Rajwant Singh further stated, "Pope was a man of
history who was able to reflect upon and apologize for the mistakes of his own
church. Sikhs had also deeply appreciated that it was Pope John Paul II who was
the first religious and Western leader to raise concern at the attack and
killing of the Sikhs by the Indian army at the Golden Temple in 1984."
In days after this great tragedy, Pope issued the statement
by saying, "In these days, the news has followed the ever more serious
events in the state of Punjab. I do not want to go into the delicate and complex
motives behind these disturbances in a great nation. But the sad fact is that
the place where so many people met a tragic death is a temple where men gather
in prayer. I address an immediate sentiment of human pity for all the victims
with a call that a way to resolve the current strife can be found in a mutual
understanding."
Amrit Kaur, Secretary of GGSF said, "He greatly
respected the moral and religious teachings of other faith, a mode of thinking
to which Sikhs can easily relate. Although an expounder and defender of his own
faith, the Pope recognized and vigourously asserted the spiritual values of
other religions. We join in prayer with our Catholic brother and sisters in
these prayerful moments at the loss of their leader and for ourselves at the
loss of an authentic moral human being. "
Dr Rajwant Singh added that "We are very confident that
the current deliberations at the Vatican will bring forth a leader who would
emulate the actions and philosophy of Pope John Paul II" .
Pope had called a second meeting of 200 religious leaders
including the Jathedar of Akal Takhat (highest Seat of Authority among Sikhs)
from all over the world on January 24, 2002 in which he wanted the day of prayer
to reinforce the message after the 11 September attacks that religion must not
be a motive for conflict in the 21st Century but a stimulus for peace and
reconciliation." Dr. Rajwant Singh had attended the meeting in Assisi in
2002.
On the closing of this great gathering, Pope said, "With
all our differences, we sit at this table, united in our commitment to the cause
of peace. That commitment, born of sincere religious sentiment, is surely what
God expects of us. It is what the world seeks in religious men and women. That
commitment is the hope we have to offer at this special time. May God grant us
all to be humble and effective instruments of His peace."
Pope had further added, "God himself has placed in the
human heart an instinctive tendency to live in peace and harmony. This desire is
more deeply-rooted and determined than any impulse to violence; it is a desire
that we have come together to reaffirm here, in Assisi. We do so in the
awareness that we are representing the deepest sentiment of every human
being."
SCORE has worked with various officials of Vatican on many
different issues. Dr. Rajwant Singh of SCORE and Cardinal Theodore McCarrick of
Washington were together at a meeting called by the World Bank President
recently in Ireland which was hosted by the Bishop of the Catholic church. GGSF
representing the Sikhs has also worked with the Archdiocese of Washington headed
by Cardinal Hickey in the past and now by Cardinal McCarrick.

Condolence on the Death of Pope John Paul II
- SIKH VICHAR MANCH
The United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan has condoled
the death of Pope John Paul II and rightly said that he was an advocate of
peace', a pioneer in interfaith dialogue and a strong moral force but to my
mind, spirit of the message was / is being disobeyed-violated with impunity
everywhere especially by those who should enforce it
.
On the other hand SIKHISM
is for equality, justice and peace and its defiance is clear for obvious reasons
because of undue interference by the powerful and with the result of its
non-implementation. In
view of the circumstances prevailing and for all times to come, it is the right
time for introspection by all not only for critical self-evaluation by the
Church itself'. All other prayers are useless at this junction. Every body has
to perish except God.

US Sikhs Express Condolences on the
Death of Pope John Paul II
The World Sikh Council - America Region (WSC-AR), on behalf of
the United States Sikh community, expresses it condolences on the death of Pope
John Paul II. The Pope dedicated his life to promoting peace with justice, and
increased inter-religious dialogue among the religions of the world.
Mr. Amolak Singh, Chairperson of WSC-AR remarked, "Pope John
Paul II was a beacon of hope and joy for millions of Catholics and other people
of faith in the world. He will continue to be a source of inspiration for
generations to come."
Dr. Anahat Kaur, Vice-Chairperson of WSC-AR added, "Pope John
Paul II was one of the world's leading champions for interfaith understanding.
He brought together religious leaders from across the world to commit themselves
to peace and justice. With his vision and dedication, the day when people of
faith will view people of other faiths as being partners in faith rather than in
competition with each other to save souls, is not far."
The WSC-AR reaches out in prayer to the Roman Catholic
community across the world in this hour of grief and expresses its deepest
condolences to the Vatican on the passing away of this great soul.
The WSC-AR is a representative and elected body of Sikh Gurdwaras and
institutions in the United States. Its members include 36 Gurdwaras (Sikh places
of worship) and other Sikh institutions across the nation.

25 MILLION SIKHS CELEBRATE THE MEMORY OF THE POPE WHO RALLIED
TO THEIR SUPPORT AS A CHAMPION OF INTERFAITH AND HUMAN RIGHTS
2nd April 2005,London
: 25 million Sikhs around the world
remember the intrepid Pope John Paul II for his support for human rights when
their religious freedom was attacked last year and twenty years earlier.
‘Last year Pope John Paul II threw his weight behind Sikhs to
oppose the French government’s ban on religious signs, including the Sikh
Turban, at schools, saying ''the government cannot be an arbiter in any
religious matter.'', said Sameep Singh, inter-faith Director of UNITED SIKHS, a
global human development organisation that works for the betterment of Sikhs
globally.
''In other words, Governments should respect dignity of the
human person and of his inalienable rights among which his right to adhere,
practice and propagate his religion is fundamental. No Government should
interfere with the inner core of any religion,'' the Pope had said in a
message.
The Pope’s message came after the Sikh community sought his
intervention to oppose the French ban on the Sikh turban, an expression of the
Sikh identity and faith. UNITED SIKHS led a petition campaign seeking the
intervention of world leaders to persuade the French government to abandon its
plan to pass the ban-law.
Pope John Paul II said in a message, ''In recent times, we have
witnessed in some European countries an attitude that could endanger the
effective respect for religious freedom. Everyone may agree to respect the
religious sentiment of individuals but the same can not be said of the religious
factor, that is the social dimension of religions. It is nothing other than
respect for all beliefs on the part of the State that assures the free exercise
of ritual, spiritual and cultural and charitable activities by communities of
believers.''
The Pope said a healthy dialogue between the Church and the
State would encourage harmony in society.
"The Pope’s contribution to interfaith dialogue made him a
veritable saint-soldier whose influence on spiritual and temporal matters was
phenomenal," said Sameep Singh.
Twenty years earlier, when the Sikhs’ holiest shrine in
Amritsar, popularly known as the Golden Temple, was attacked by the Indian armed
forces, the Pope did not mince his words in support for the human rights of
thousands of innocent worshippers who had been killed during the attack.
"In these days, the news has followed the ever more serious
events in the state of Punjab. I do not want to go into the delicate and complex
motives behind these disturbances in a great nation. But the sad fact is that
the place where so many people met a tragic death is a temple where men gather
in prayer.
"I address an immediate sentiment of human pity for all the victims with
a call that a way to resolve the current strife can be found in a mutual
understanding..." Pope John Paul II said.

WSC-AR Urges UNESCO to Drop
Consideration of Siri Darbar Sahib, Amritsar
for World Heritage
Status
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 29, 2005
Contact: Dr. Tarunjit
Singh, Secretary General, 614-210-0591,
The World Sikh Council - America Region (WSC-AR) has urged
UNESCO and its World Heritage Centre to immediately drop the consideration of
Siri Darbar Sahib, Amritsar for world heritage status.
In a letter addressed to Mr. Francesco Bandarin (Director of
UNESCO World Heritage Centre), dated March 25, 2005, WSC-AR communicated that
pursuing this project would entail serious protests by Sikhs around the globe as
interference in their religious affairs.
The WSC-AR has been in touch with UNESCO since January of 2005.
Having reviewed the response from UNESCO and the complete three volume
nomination dossier made available by the Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee
(SGPC) at its website, it is the considered opinion of the World Sikh Council -
America Region that the request to nominate Siri Darbar Sahib as a cultural
symbol of Indian civilization by the State Party of India is mischievous and
wrong. The dossier submitted by the State Party in collaboration with the SGPC
is misleading, has serious flaws, and is strongly objected to by Sikhs around
the world.
Siri Darbar Sahib, located in the South Asian city of Amritsar,
Punjab, is the central Sikh place of worship for 25 million Sikhs worldwide. It
was established by the founders of the faith and holds deep historical and
spiritual significance for the entire Sikh community spread across the globe.
The Sikh Diaspora, including large Sikh communities in Europe, North America,
and the Far East, has not been consulted in this proposal and in the preparation
of the nomination dossier submitted to UNESCO.
The fundamental argument set forth in the nomination dossier
that Siri Darbar Sahib represents the cultural heritage and uniqueness of Indian
civilization is misleading and incorrect. Such claims undermine the religious
importance of this site and are offensive. The status of Siri Darbar Sahib in
the Sikh Religion is similar to that of the Kaaba in Islam and the Vatican in
Roman Catholicism. Kaaba is not a Saudi Arabian cultural site but the center of
Islam; the Vatican is not an Italian cultural entity but the center of the Roman
Catholic faith. Neither of these two places is on the World Heritage List under
Saudi Arabia or Italy. Siri Darbar Sahib is the heartthrob of a living faith; it
is not an archeological relic or a symbol of Indian culture and it is not a
cultural tourist site.
Emotionally and spiritually Siri Darbar Sahib has the greatest
importance to Sikhs worldwide. It is managed by the SGPC as a representative
body of Sikhs living in Punjab and Haryana states of India. The SGPC does not
represent Sikhs outside these two Indian states. It certainly does not represent
Sikhs living outside India. The nomination dossier claims on page I-160 and
II-27 that "The SGPC is acknowledged as the highest authority in religious
matters by Sikhs worldwide" and "It [SGPC] takes decisions on religious matters
which are considered final by all Sikhs." Both these statements are false and we
take the strongest exception to these claims. The SGPC is merely a managing body
operating under the laws of the states of Punjab and Haryana in India. It has no
jurisdiction in matters of faith. Siri Akaal Takhat Sahib is that authority.
Since the overall responsibility for the protection of a world
heritage site lies with the state party, the placing of Siri Darbar Sahib on
this list would effectively cede control of the site to the Indian government.
This is an affront to Sikhs everywhere. The Indian Government interference in
Sikh religious affairs is already considerable because the SGPC has to operate
under laws made by the Punjab and Haryana state governments. The experiences of
the Sikh community worldwide over the last two decades have shown that the
Indian State is attempting to extend not only its control of Sikh institutions
and places of worship but to rewrite Sikh history and undermine the Sikh faith.
Sikhs cannot forget the bloody invasion of Siri Darbar Sahib in 1984 followed by
the attempted reconstruction of Siri Akaal Takhat Sahib and the construction of
Galiyara (corridor) around the complex to ensure ease of armed intervention in
the future.
The importance of the highest authority in the Sikh faith, Siri
Akaal Takhat Sahib, has been significantly understated in the dossier. Decisions
by Siri Akaal Takhat Sahib taken through a Sikh community consultation process
(Gurmatta) are respected and followed by all Sikhs worldwide. The SGPC has
recently been highly politicized. Acting in collusion with and under directives
from the political establishment in India, this committee has undermined the
status of Siri Akaal Takhat Sahib and attempted to make it subservient. The
international Sikh community has been opposed to these moves and seeks to
restore the position of Siri Akaal Takhat Sahib as the supreme authority not
subject to the SGPC or the local politicians controlling that committee.
In addition, the nomination dossier contains numerous
historical inaccuracies, factual mistakes, and misinformation about the Sikh
faith and its history.
We call upon Sikh organizations across the world to write to
Mr. Francesco Bandarin, Director of UNESCO World Heritage Centre, expressing
concerns over the proposed project and requesting that the consideration of this
proposal be dropped.
The WSC-AR is a representative and elected body of Sikh
Gurdwaras and institutions in the United States. Its members include 36
Gurdwaras (Sikh places of worship) and other Sikh institutions across the
nation.

PRESS RELEASE
LUDHIANA, March 28- The International Human Rights
Organisation (IHRO) today censured Capt Amarinder Singh administration,
especially the police officials facing murder trial in the case of Jaswant Singh
Khalra, expressing strong condemnation of the threats to the life of Paramjit
Kaur Khalra’s counsel by the accused officials in the CBI court at Patiala.
The IHRO, in a release issued to the press here, said,
"It is the height of the state repression let loose on the prosecuting
team, including witnesses and Ms Khalra’s advocate, Barjinder Singh Sodhi. And
it is not only the denial of justice and negation of the rule of law but also it
exposes the intriguing silence maintained by the justice system, more
disgustingly by the higher judiciary."
Human Rights group’s chairperson D S Gill and
secretary-general M S Grewal, in their statement, added: "We need to bridle
the state (police) highhandedness, criminal intimidation and atrocious behaviour
against its citizens, especially lawyers defending victims in law courts, in
order to protect the judicial system so that it could render fair justice to the
people."
And for that, the IHRO activists said, all human rights
groups active in the state have decided, in their conference call meeting, to
file a writ petition in the high court and to take up the matter with lawyers
fraternity, including the Punjab and Haryana Bar council, if need be.
The writ petition, besides other things, would seek
suspension of the accused officials from the service and cancellation of their
bails, along with security to the counsel and witnesses, in this case of
international importance because the deceased Mr Khalra had shown the fascist
face of the state (police) to the world. "And that was the motive of
liquidating him after making the enforced disappearance," the statement
added.
Meanwhile, the IHRO has lent its support to the campaign of
socio-religious and political groups, spearheaded by the Shiromani Khalsa Dal,
for the release of Sikh activists rotting in jails since long appreciating
initiative taken by Punjab and central governments in the regard, according to
Inderjit Kaur, secretary public relations of the organisation.

PRESS RELEASE
LUDHIANA, March 24: The International Human Rights
Organisation (IHRO), while hailing the decision of the British Columbia Supreme
Court for acquitting two innocent Sikhs in the AIR India Kanishka disaster who
were entrapped and framed in this case, condemned the Canadian Security
Intelligence Service (CSIS) and Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) for
suppressing evidence against the real culprits who had played with the lives of
329 persons.
The IHRO, in a statement, also hailed the denial of US visa
to Indian chief minister Narinder Modi, the neo Nazi, for his acts of omission
and commission in the 2002 Muslim carnage in Gujarat, urging other States to
follow the suit by including in their list the other Indian Nazis such as KPS
Gill and all those indicted by credible public inquiries for the November 1984
Sikh genocide in Delhi and elsewhere in India.
Chairperson D S Gill, secy-gen M S Grewal, Secy-admn Avtar
Singh Gill and secy public relations Inderjit Kaur of the NGO here today said
that Indian government had something to hide in so far as its police had killed
Talwinder Singh Parmar, the alleged prime suspect in this infamous case.
If revelations in "Soft Target: How the Indian
Intelligence Service Penetrated Canada" by Zuhair Kashmiri and Brian
McAndrew and "Open Secret": India’s Intelligence Unveiled" by
Maloy Krishna Dhar, who served for three decades in India's Intelligence Bureau
are any indications, the involvement of the Indian Mission in Canada and its R
& AW’ in the sad disaster which was aimed at defaming the Sikhs and
painting them terrorists the world over, can not be ruled out.
The IHRO has demanded a judicial inquiry into the faked
killing of Talwinder Singh by the police in India and public inquiry in Canada
to sift out the truth about the whole episode in order to punish the real
culprits so as to give justice to the people affected by the disaster and the
state machinations.

Dear Sikhmarg
waheguru ji ka khalsa, waheguru ji ki fateh
Can you please help me with finding out some facts re. so called Bibi Rajni daughter of 16th century Raja Duni Chand of Patti.
There has been a Panjabi film made in 70s about this story, I would like to research some facts through Sikh scholars.
Kind regards

IN RE
:
Visa decision taken at highest levels-US
acted on NHRC's findings-
My Views:
Sir,
I submit that Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi is a
criminal under the 'International Religious Freedom Act'. To my mind, he
actively, intentionally and deliberately participated in violation of rights of
particular religious minority being head of State and always used his tongue to
annoy and provoke minorities and thereafter in order to teach them a lesson. His
act of criminality is already proved by various reports and the
findings/comments of National Human Rights Commission on the basis of which the
US has taken decision to deny visa to him. He is trying to legalize his heinous
crime against the Humanity by visiting US and the true democratic country like
US under her/his constitution cannot allow him to do so. He is now trying to
take shelter in name of the Indian Constitution, which only permits criminals to
get elected and discriminate with others in every field. Here politically
immature society and opportunist people may plead in his support otherwise he
has no case to justify himself legally. He must be advised correctly and
accordingly.

Submission and reaction about Judgment by Canadian Court-AIR INDIA BOMBING
CASE-JUNE 23, 1985
Sir,
Then question was to defame the Sikh community at the peak of
struggle for their freedom in either way at International level to get licence
to liquidate and teach a lesson to the Sikhs in India especially in Punjab and
it was successfully done openly without any justice for them till date. However,
this judgement protected/saved them (SIKHS) for the time being from further
damage to their image and religion of humanity internationally. In order to give
justice to the victims and families, there is need of sincere efforts to unearth
deep-rooted conspiracy behind it. Please do publish my reaction as a pointer for
further inquiry in this case.
Thanks
With great regards.

Dear Dr. Kuldip Singh jee,
Waheguru jee ka Khalsa Waheguru jee kee Fateh
The Sikh Review from Kolkata does not take any firm stand on
Sikh Tenets. Moreover, there is never any guidance to the Sikh leaders, SGPC or
so called Jathedaars and Sikhs in Punjab, Chandigarh, Delhi, etc. But Editor
will never displease foreign contributors ! Editor often praises killer Kanwer
Pal Singh Gill and journalist Khushwant Singh. What have they done for Sikhs? If
Bihari/UP Bhayyaas could start Hindi Dailies or they are boosting circulation of
yellow press, why not a Sikh Press in Punjab? What is your stand regarding The
Spokesman Weekly ? Kindly rethink your strategy and encourage The Spokesman to
start "Weekly" because daily won't be successful until all Sikh Leaders unite
without the shadow of Barnala/Badal/other tarnished factions! What happened to
"Vishav Sikh Bulletin" in Punjabi by Prof. Gurtej Singh? All wish to become
Generals/Editors/Chairmen/Presidents without spending a cent from their own
pockets.
In fact, DSGMC should spend money on the well being of 1984
victims or donate to Nishkam Welfare Organsiation functioning from Tilak/Tagore
Nagar rather sending to Kolkata where wealthy Sikhs can look after
themselves.

WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH
Subject: Donation of Life Membership of "The Sikh
Review" Calcutta to the libraries of English medium schools of Delhi is a
scientific plan to remove the persistent Anti-Sikh feeling, ever since November
1984 in all segments of Delhi public.
-
Following the day and night massacre, burning, looting and
rape of Sikhs of Delhi in full view of public including the foreign visitors
to the funeral of late Smt. Indira Gandhi Ji, wherein the police and the
administrative machinery were silent spectators and several people had noticed
the presence of police who were not trying to save the unfortunate victims,
the Govt. of India earned a bad name in the eyes of the world.
-
Sh. Rajiv Gandhi, the New Prime Minister of India, engaged
the services of a prominent Adv. Agency to malign the Sikhs during the
November 1984 elections to the Lok Sabha in such a way that a message was
given firmly to the minds of the every Indian in every village and town of
India and to the world public that whatever treatment was meted out to Sikhs
was too little. The Sikhs were such bad people that they needed to be wiped
out completely. He is reported to have paid Rs. 200 Crores for doing this
publicity in the two weeks prior to the voting day.
-
The United States Education Department made a video on
terrorism depicting in the first scene armed Sikhs moving about in the Darbar
Sahib Complex. This 20-30 minute video was shown to schoolchildren all over
that country for about 15 years. Before the Sikhs learnt and raised their
voice against it, generations of Americans began to regard Sikhs as
terrorists.
-
The anti-Sikh feeling was so deeply ingrained in the minds
of the Indians that it affected even the Judges and all intelligentsia of
India.
-
Special acts like TADA also helped to poison the minds of
the public against the Sikhs.
-
The judiciary showed their deep animosity to the Sikhs by
giving them harsh sentences including death sentence, which was confirmed at
all levels. Nobody considered under what circumstances the Sikhs were
emotionally charged to kill a few important people who were responsible for
ordering killing of lacs of innocent Sikhs attending the martyrdom day
function of Guru Arjan Dev Ji in the Gurdwaras all over Punjab.
-
Many Sikhs are still imprisoned without trial in jails of
the country for decades.
-
Every now and then, the news comes that so many wanted Sikh
terrorists have gone abroad and are hiding in foreign countries.
-
No Member of Parliament has ever thought that what
suffering the Sikh community as a whole has undergone and nobody has been
punished for the cold-blooded murder of Sikhs in June and November 1984.
-
By now Sikhs must have noticed and should have realized
that their hue and cry about not getting any justice has not been of any avail
on account of the persistent and longstanding animosity about the Sikhs which
has been created.
-
The science of human communications tells us that
intelligent children between the ages of 8 and 12 years (1 per cent of
students) like to read any piece of literature and knowledge, which they come
across. These one per cent of the children in these age groups grow up to
become leaders of the society in every field of human endeavour. They will
become the future judges, members of Parliament and Administrative Services.
-
If the Sikhs were to donate the Sikh Review, which is
non-political journal of longstanding propagating Sikh history and theology to
a hundred thousand schools all over the world, then within 10-15 years, we
would see that a complete change in the outlook of the people about the Sikhs
would occur. Sikhs would be admired and respected in every country of the
world.
-
Delhi has at least one thousand English medium public
schools. Nanaksdas requests the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee to
gift Life Subscriptions of the Sikh Review to all these schools immediately.
There is no shortcut and the Sikhs have been suffering for the last twenty
years. You may propagate and get the help of the Sikhs. I am confident that
your example would be followed by SGPC, Gurdwara Committees, all over India
and Abroad. I hope that in this year "The Sikh Review" gets a
hundred thousand (100,000) Life Subscriptions for schools. As a surgeon I look
upon this problem as an emergency, requiring immediate action by the Sikhs.
-
A Daily Newspaper of the Sikhs will not be able to achieve
anything and would be a great waste of resources. We have to propagate Sikhism
and specially the universal ideology of Guru Granth Sahib amongst the non-Sikh
school children between the ages of eight and twelve years only, in order to
get immediate and far-reaching benefits.
Nanaksdas
(Dr. Kuldip Singh)
