Dear Kandola sh and Kmeelu ji,

I remember the whole story of my association with shah pur and salana very   vividly. I am still linked with shah pur as my chacha's grand children are there. At that time my class fellows of my sixth class were Teja singh, Chaman lal and the third's name was perhaps Shangara singh, not sure.i will write that story but before that I want to have some introduction about my friend  addressed above- kmeelu alias kuldip singh meelu. Please try to give his address at the earliest so that we may correspond. I  have very very sweet and nostalgic memories about salana and the surrounding area. this time when i will go to india i will definitely pay a visit to that place so that i may comlete my that part of biography 'khabal di pand'.

yours truly,
bs bajwa

It’s a difficult time for our Punjab. Everything is going wrong for our Punjab now. Center policy of not taking Punjab's problems seriously is effecting one side and on the otherside the Haryana's demand of SYL bowing down the backbone of Punjab. In 1947 division, Punjab gets divided into two parts. One goes to Pakistan and other in India. And then Center Govt showing their hatred, divide Punjab to three states( Haryana and himachal). Now they wants to take our waters from us.
Our problems not only stops here, even our Punjab leaders showed no interest in these cases. I don't know where these GREEDY and MEAN leaders will rule, if these policies against goes on and succeed against us . ITS TIME TO WAKE UP. Its time to move up from our personel interests bcoz once we lost punjab, then how we will feel proud to be Punjabi.
Its punjab where we were born, and we have responsibilities towards our motherland too , as we perform towards our family. So brothers, feel the pain of your motherland. Its now or never. Our Gurus said that " our first responsibility is towards our family to protect, love and feed. but equally we are responsible for our people ( the people of our motherland. Our people are in pain now. Our farming gets effected, our young generations in Punjab are not getting jobs and moving towards drugs. Lets do something BROTHERS. Get up now with shoulder to shoulder to protect our roots, otherwise we will be very much LATE
your brother

Respected Editor sahib and Readers,
SANJOG VIJOG written by Sardar Karnail singh Ji .

What a beautiful story.

Many of my friends read this story and told me their different views.

Their views forced me to write my thoughts about this story. What I am saying you might not agree and that is what I believe in I know every body has different opinion

And I do respect their opinions. Now here is mine.

Start reading this story thousands of thoughts goes through your mind. What is going to happen? What next to which direction this story is heading? And beautiful ending though sad!

We are from a culture where it is hard to see a girl and a boy as friends. Sardar Karnail singh Ji never gave any direct hint in his story that Gudi and Rajinder are going to have any affair like lovers, even then when you read this story you feel like at the end they will get-together until you come across the fact that Rajinder is married.

And on the other hand what Raninder thinks about the relation developing between Gudi and Harjeet makes you think that Hrjeet might be a bad element here that have not told Gudi the whole truth about his life. (How come a boy who is younger to a girl says yes to marry her). And at the end this was a whole story about unlucky Gudi who got a nice friend Rajinder.

I think this story tells us many things. A nice bond between family members after all that is why Gudi was in USA to support her family. Respect for mother that is why Rajinder says that I will do any thing to make my mother happy. When we come across these feelings we feel at home we feel like that is what we are.

But on the other hand when we come across the other things like why cannot Rajinder and Gudi be good friends. Why cannot a boy of younger age propose to marry a girl who is older to him? I think here we need little improvement now. We can be sisters and brothers we can be husband and wife then why cannot a boy and a girl be friends. The only thing was that at one point when we read the story we feel there were some feelings in both Gudi and Rajinder. Then I will say that it is normal this was not lust or some thing bad. And if you think you will find that this is also given by us as we don’t allow a relation of friendship in boys and girls.

Just for clarification.

( Here I don’t mean boyfriend and girlfriend in American or European way, what I mean is pure friends like we Indians are with each other as boys and girls. In these countries also they have this pure relation and they just say friends not boyfriend or girlfriend so what I meant is friends.)

any way already I have said enough and many of my friends might have started to feel why I am writing this all boring story. I just want to say that we need to improve and we should always in the nice way. I liked this story and I hope if you read it you will like it too. It is very nice give it a try. I am sorry if I have said any thing wrong.

Sardar Karnail singh Ji You have written a marvelous story.

Yours truly,
Lalit

Respected B.S Bajwa Sahib,

Sat Shri Akal, This is first time i'm writing any letter to 5abi.com although i'm reding this paper everyday.

I read your story "Sadran Di Dunee" Part-1, it is good to know about life in canada, but sir you only emphasised on girl side , i mean you said boys go from canada and get married with young and educated girls and then don't care about them and try treat them as  a slave. I'm wondering if you are going to talk about second side of this as well in your next part. That is about the girls who get married to handsome and educated boys in india and treat them as salves. We all r talking about boys, do you know how many girls go to India every year to get handsome and educated boys??? I think boys do have the same story as the girls do. I wanna ask you a question that - Do you live with your son or daughter in Canada?? I mean who sponsored you- your son or your daughter?? I'm sorry to ask this but i think you don't mind to answer this.

Please do reply.

Respected Principal B.S. Bajwa,

Thanks a lot for your answer. I fully understand why our elders wish to settle abroad, especially whose children are living here permanently. This is always an advantage to have elderly with us. I myself feel and would like that our own parents should come and live with us. As you would have read in my letter that having parents around is an advantage also. But on the top of that it is our duty to look after them and give them respect and attention at the stage when they need us the most.

While reading your letter I felt that may be you would have felt odd or bad about asking question about earning dollars as well as taking pension. I did not mean to hurt any one, but asked owing to my experience here with some people who had behaved quite strongly. If I have hurt you or any other readers of this elite site then I should apologise. But I feel very proud of all my elders who despite facing many odds at foreign lands are still working hard ( to help themself as well as their families).
Kind regards!

Sat Sri Akal to Editor, Mr. Bajwa and 5abi.com readers,

I really liked Mr. Bajwa's article on the lifestyles and problems of Punjabis living in Canada. I can relate to most of the content in his article, since I myself live in Toronto area of Canada as well. I totally agree with the latter part of his article, where he is talking about the problems Punjabi girls have to face in their everyday life.

But, Uncleji, I totally disagree with your comment that vYsy vI AOrqW ivc mrdW dy mukwbly Awqm ivSvwS dI Gwt huMdI hY, when it comes to getting a driving license. I can tell you that Punjabi women can be better drivers, especially if have not driven a car in India, and they learn to drive a car for the first time with a set of rules. Whereas, a man has driven most of his life in India without any set of rules, but now has to learn rules to drive and follow them properly in order to avoid a hefty traffic fine and/or higher insurance. Confidence levels in a woman can vary from time to time, she can be very confident at one point in her life and feel totally
helpless and confused at other times. I did not like this comment, please avoid such if possible.

I would like to write in Punjabi fonts, but I am not used to typing Punjabi fluently yet, I am working on it.

Regards,
Gurdish Kaur

Dear Mr. Editor,

Once I want to thank Principal Bajwa for his excellent articles, the first I read B~jdIAW kwrW ivc guAwcy lok
is about busy schedules in Foreign lands in quest to earn more and more, in which Principal Bajwa have rightly suggested we younger immigrants or NRIs to devote time to own kids as well as to listen and respect elders. This is true we are running in a foolish race to earn more and more, but still it seems that we are loosing this race while neglecting our family and many values which have sustained our culture back at home.
Regarding second article of Mr. Bajwa, about our elderly at Canada. I want to congratulate Mr. Bajwa for writing such an article which has reflected the common human nature. The way he has described the daily discussions among his friends at work is so natural and truthful, which indicate our elderly are equally interesting and humorous as the younger generation. But they have more wisdom than us.

But I shall agree with Arvinder Singh Badwal's question about double income too. For the question what I think is that, although our elderly are retired from good positions at home and receiving pensions too, but once they have decided to live in foreign land where despite all materialistic comforts they still want some common friendly circle in which they can entertain themself as well as become more independent, financially ( definitely the pension at home is equivalent to one week's expenditure here).

But it will be good if Principal Bajwa can give the answer for Arvinder Singh's question.

Can I also ask from where to procure the book ( HUM HINDU NAHIN, written by Kahan Singh Nabha) which Shri Pabla has mentioned in his letter.

Now 5abi. com has lots of articles on current affairs and literature which take lots of time to read it, but I should congratulate all contributors as well as team of 5abi. com for their consistent efforts to serve our mother tongue Punjabi.

Dear Editor,

One publication must be mentioned, however, HUM HINDU NAHIN, we are not Hindus, by Kahan Singh Nabha. He wrote to admonish Sikhs who "although they regard themselves as Sikhs of the Khalsa accept the Hindu religion".He continued:

This book is restricted to the difference between Hindu tradition and the Khalsa because our brethren are already aware that they do not belong to other religions. This much they know,yet they mistakenly regard the Khalsa as a Hindu sect.I am confident that my erring brethren will return to their own tradition when they read this book. Realizing that they are indeed the children of Guru Nanak and of all the Ten Gurus they will stand forth as members of the Khalsa, firmly convinced that we are not HINDUS.

Clearly the issue is one of identity and the survival of Sikhism. Bhai Kahn Singh ends ironically, after assembling his arguments, mainly in the form of proof texts:

Our country will flourish when people of all religions are loyal to their own traditions yet willing to accept other religions as members of the same family, when they recognize that harming one means harming the nation, and when religious differences are no longer an occasion of discord'

For many Sikhs, intermarriage between Hindus and Sikhs of the same got is still preferable to a Sikh marriage between different ones. " Roto Beti Da Sang" remains a popular saying,  meaning Hindus and Sikhs eat together and intermarry", and another commonly heard expressions is "Hindu Sikh Bhai Bhai". Hindus and Sikhs are brother.

Sikhism's relationship with Hinduism has been of a rather different kind. Guru Nanak and his successors never denounced Hinduism as such.True, they were strong in their condemnation of a caste system which left many people, ( NOW IN 20TH CENTURY OUR GURUDUARA NAMED JATAN DA GURUDUARA, TARKHANAN DA GURUDUARA, CHAMARAN DA AND BALMIKI GURUDUARA) the untouchables, without spiritual hope, of the low regard for women, and the concepts of purity and pollution which provided the rational for these aspects of the religion. Above all they were critical of the Brahmins who might be said to have operated the system. Yet one cannot find passages in their compositions which state explicitly or imply that Hinduism is a false path which leads no where, or that Sikh way has replaced it. Sikh traditions which is respectful of all faith.

In a part of our evening hymn, Sodar Rahiras, there is a section by Guru Gobind Singh known as Benati Chaupai. Two lines from it are relevant to the present discussion. They read:

GOD CREATED SHIVA AND BRAHMA, THE VEDIC KING.

AND

AS BRAHMA CLOTHED IN MIGHT YOU SIT, AS AS SHIVA THE YOGIS LORD.

FINALLY, RELIGIONS ARE GRADUALLY CHANGING THEIR PERSPECTIVE. THE CHALLENGE FACING THEM IS NOT ONLY THAT POSED BY THE VERY PERSISTENCE AND DYNAMISM OF OTHER FAITHS WHICH OUGHT TO HAVE DISAPPEARED WHEN CONFRONTED BY S0-CALLED HIGHER RELIGIONS. IT IS ALSO THE DEMAND PLACED UPON RELIGIONS WHEN THEY ARE SEEN IN A GLOBAL CONTEXT. POVERTY, RACISM, WAR AND PEACE, AS WELL AS PRESSING ECOLOGICAL ISSUES, ARE REQUIRING RELIGIONS TO OFFER A SPIRITUALITY OF COMMENSURATE PROPORTIONS. THERE IS NEED FOR RELIGIONS TO REDISCOVER THE ORIGINAL VISIONS WHICH INSPIRED THEM AND INTERPRET THEM IN WAYS WHICH SPEAK TO THE CONDITION OF THOSE WHO WILL BE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE NEXT CENTURY. THERE ARE SIKHS, HINDUS ,MUSLIM, CHRISTIANS WHO BELIEVE THAT HOPE LIES IN RESTATING THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THEIR RELIGIONS WITH GREATER FERVOR, COMMITMENT, AND SINCERITY. JAI HIND.
