The way you have correlated the human and animal social life behavior deserves full appreciation. There is a perfect hit at modern youths' life style. They seems to be more animals than animals who have no apartments.At least they have are not hypocrats.

I am reminded of a quotation ' more I see of men more I love my dog'.
Keep on Aujla

Dear 5abi readers

History of human migration is as old as history of human kind. Even animals migrate in search of food and better living conditions. People always migrate in search of opportunities or survival. My great grandfather went to vaar (West Punjab) in 1880's (for opportunities) and my father migrated back to east Punjab in 1947 (for survival). Punjabis are one on most migrated communities out of south Asian. Punjabis were first one to come to USA in 1880's. Dalvir Singh article is not fair to Punjabis or other south Asians in living in North America. All Americans are immigrants from some where. Many of us may or may not agree with our Government Policies. How many average Indian protested against genocide in New Delhi-84 or Gujarat (other than lip service in media). Recently hundreds of thousands of American showed their open disagreement with policies of US government. . American public opinion was main reason to end Vietnam war. All people are not good or bad in any country or culture. I agree America is not a perfect country But American system allows average person to reach his/her full potential. We can celebrate our culture (Punjabi) with out any hindrance in this country.

It is our own fault that if we don't teach good values to our next generations. With improved communication, tecnology and freedom we can enjoy our culture (or any other) while living in any part of this planet-Earth. All these boundaries are man made. Here is nice article and discussion on same topic in Outlook India Magazine:

http://www.outlookindia.com/full.asp?fodname=20030120&fname=Cover+Story+%28F%29&sid=1

Here was my response to OutlookIndia, why people like me left India?:

Regarding Quit India Movement (Exodus from India)

It is sad that quality of life of average Indian has not improved after 1947 (so called independence) but got worse for some (in comparison to other parts of developed world). Yes many Indian take pride in having cell phones, TV etc, but roads and quality of health care for average Indian has gone down hill. The difference between have and have not’s has widened. People who tried to change system were called terrorists or separatists or made victims by state by labeling them some thing terrible.

You missed the point that first south Asians to migrate to Canada and USA were from Punjab 1890’s. Many of them went back to fight for freedom of India from British. Even Kartar Singh Sarabha (mentor of Bhagat Singh) was a Berkeley graduate from California. Also since 1984 many migrants came from Punjab and New Delhi here (to USA/Canada) due to human right issues at that time (Our media still hesitate to discuss those issues openly) -legally or illegally to western countries. They were not well educated but hard working people tired of Indian system and they succeeded by their sheer hard work and many have settled well in their new adopted homes. But 1990’s brought new wave of many professional from south India, who came for economical opportunities, at same time many of them are also responsible for re-importing ideas from west back to India and developing information technology industry in India. This has proved that given the opportunity even average hard working person can do quite well.

My other point is that, expatriate Indians send lot more back to India than they could have produced in India. Also Indian lobby in west is creation of Indian people living in these countries. Overall this, out flow has done more good to India than harm. Many of the expatriate Indian has lot more love for their country of origin than many Indian living in India. Any how I don’t see any future for honest people in India unless we change our mentality and develop respect for fairness, law and justice. We (Indians in west) love India but we hate insensitive political system in India. Let us change it for good. Average Indian has a good brain but the system sucks. Rich People spend crores on their homes but no one cares for spending any thing to upgrade their streets and roads (system tools). In selfish and superstitious societies very few can succeed, only the ones who know how to fool and exploit the sick system. We hope and pray for better future of people living in Indian Subcontinent. We will keep contributing our share even sitting thousands of miles away.

I just read the article by Mr. Dalbir Singh. And i read all the fuss about it. I liked it but wanted to let him know not every American Indian is same. Yes we do live here, we made a - choice a personal choice, but that does not mean we agree with our respective Government's policies. I am a 37 years old female, came to Canada 18 years ago. When i was in India growing up, in school, in college all the time reading about, hearing about all those brides being killed because of DAAJ I remember those days. If i had not come here i would have been one of them. That is only one of the problems MY SWEET HOME (INDIA) have. I am not contradicting your point, American people are just like that as you described what i am trying to say here is if somebody made a choice for better life that does not mean that they always agree with their govts. or their adopted countries bad habits. Do you agree with all of the Indian govt.'s policies? So that has nothing to do with American Indian people.And by the way when you were in America was your trip paid by you or ????
Sorry if i hurt anybody's feelings.

Editor ji,
Here are my comments on Sardar Dalbir Singh's article.

Let me say it in the beginning that Dalbir Singh could be a good writer but to write something fair and balanced te oh vi Amreeka de baaray iss de vass da roag nai ay. ikk English writer in pichhay jihe kiha si ke There is nothing more poisonous than religious fundamentalists(in particular Jihadic ilk) except a defeated communist. That pretty much explains why all our saathi writers are oozing this kind of poisonous hatred against America from every orifice. nai te dunian di har problem lai Amreeka nu zimevaar thehraun ton pehlan eh apni peerhi haith sota zaroor phairday. ki eh nafrat iss lai uggli jaa rai ay kiyon ke Amreeka ne Iraq te hamla karke be-doshay Iraqian nu maareya hai? je eh saara kujh bedosheyan de haij wich ho riya te bhai sahib sanu apnian oh likhtan vi vikhao jihna wich tusi Saddam vallon apnay lokan opper kitay zurma da khandan keeta howe. Hiroshima Nagasaki wali ghatna barha wadda dukhaant si. Amreeki bache uss baray school wich parhday hann. schoolan de syllabus sthanak bordan wallo teh hunday hann te teh karn wale koi affsar loag nai hunday balke ustaad khud hunday hann. par ki main eh puchhan di gustakhi kar sakda haan ke lekhak nu Hiroshima te yaad ay(jehra ke hona chahida ay, changi gall ay) par tusi apnay naiyak Stalin nu kiyon bhullday ho jissne 1 crore lokkan da katl keeta ay? Hitler ne 60 lakh te Jews hi maaray si baaki Serbian, Polish, Jipsy waghaira di ginti wakhri rahi. Amreeka di nuclear bomb banaun di history vi parho. je Germans apni nuclear bomb di development wich kahli naal kujh galtian na karde te Hitler koll eh bomb pehlon hona si. dowan dhiran wich ik daurh si. je Hitlar kol bomb aa janda te mainu yakeen ay ohnay koi Dalbir Singh kolon puchhan nai si jaana ke pahji main ehnu kithey suttan.

Amreeka wich barhe nuks hann. Amreeka koi mzhab nai. iss da swedhaan koi dharmik kitab nai. issde leader koi Rabb de maseehay nai ke oh har waqat te har gall te sahi hi hoan. je ehna dian galtian kadnian hoan te main khud list bana ke bhaij sakda haan. par aithey masla eh hai ajehi list banaun pichhay mera ki maksad howe? Dalbir Singh da maksad saaf zahir hai. ajjkal apnay apnay nu manukhtavaadi te intellectual kahuan da sabh ton wadhiya tareeqa eh ve ke Amreeka da khandan karo. saabka te haaray hoye communistan wallon att darjay de tuasabi te be-kirk dharhe - kattarhvaadi muslmana naal rallke Amreeka te khulli jang da ailaan keeta hoyea hai. par jiwen aam hunda ay comrade ailaana te naahreyan ton aggay nai langh sakday. ehna wich khud "iss zalim, lutaray, badmaash Amreeka" naal larhan di himmat nai par ikk khachray tamaashbeen wangh ehna ne kattarhpanthi muslmanan de cheerleader banan te addichoti da zor layea hoyea ay. nai te Amreeka vallon larahi duran mare 2/3 hazaar bedosh Iraqian de mukablay ehna nu Hitler, Stalin, Milasovic, Musolini de ikathay score - lagh bhag 2 crore loke - di yaad na bhulldi. Theek hai manukhi jaan te ikk vi gai buri hai. par jadon asin manukhan nu aankrheyan takk seemat kar hi liya te phir ginti karni ban-di ay.

rahi gall Amreeki Bhaartian di - pehli gall jadon comrade te jihadi Amreeka kehnday ne ehna da matlabh Capitalist te Kafir West hunda ay. par global politics wich France te Germany di Amreeka naal asehmati kaarn ehna bhullakra nu France te Germany dudh dhotay dikhan lag paye ne, warna hai nai. jehri colonialism de mihnay England te Amreeka nu dainday ne oh France te Germany te vi dhukday ne. Waise vi kallay Amreeka nu single out karke eh haaray te tuttay hoye lokk apnay aap nu kujh bhalvaan samjhan lagg painday ne. unjh ehni di eh haalat ay chor te daang dou janay, main te bapu kalley. so jadon eh Amreekan bhartian di gall karde ne, asal ehna di akh ch oh saray khanday peenday Bharti jehna desh chhaddeya si, rarhakday ne. Kallay Amreeka wich hi ehna Bhaartian di ginti 30 lakh de barabar ay. je ziyada nai te takreeban ainay ko hi England, Australia, Nland, Spain waghaira ne. Ehna mehnat-kashan ne jo naamna Bharat lai khatteya ay ohda phall Bharat nu milna ajjay shuru hi hoyea ay. Ehna Engineers ne te Scientists ne Bharat da naa banayea hai te hunn hauli hauli saaray Bhartia nu issda faiyeda howega. balke ho riya hai. eh Amreeki Bhartian di talli te saron jama ke vikhai da sadka hi hai ke ajj Amreeki companian India wich paisa laun nu tiyaar hann.(sach Dalbir Singh ji iss de virodh wich jazbat bharpoor lekh kadon likh rahe ne? shaiyad Gujrat de dangeya baare keernay paunday lekh ton baad? waise ajjay ohna ne sanu dasna hai ke ajj Amritsar wich 4 bibiyan nu marn mukkan di saunh kiyon chukkni pai insaaf lain lai?).

Immigration saddian ton hundi ayee hai. lokk changi te safe zingdi lai migrate karde rahe ne. itehaskar likhde ne shaiyad Afghanistan de ajj de bashinday vi kiton hor aye si. saaday Punjabi wadday vi kiton hor aye si. je saday wadday Punjab wich aaye si te ajj Dalbir Singh wargay Bharat lai apni jaan vi dain lai tiyaar ne(waise eh damgajay ee ne, bhaarhay te lekh likhan wale aiddee chhaiti nai jaan chhad-day apni), taan phir sanu apne nawe mulk Amreeka di haami bharn wich ki sharm? Jis dharti te saaday wadday jamme palle, jiss di khaatar ohna kai vaar apna khoon vaheya, mehnat mushkat karke desh di sewa keeti, othey saaday gallan wich tire paye, sadian bhehna di ijjat lutti gai, saday bazurgan dian pagga lathian, te saaday wargay kaiyean jihna de kisay naal vi koi laaka daika nai si, pulas dian ziyaditian da shikaar hoye. aithey sanu maan mileyan. zindgi mili. je koi sir-phireya apradhi sanu Arab samjh ke saday te waar karda hai te dukh hai, par khushi hai ke baaki desh sadi haami bharda hai. har koi issnu ghalat kehnda hai. doshi fauran pharhke ander ditay janday hann. eh koi sarkari neeti nai ay. na koi hazaran bandeyan de hazoom saadian gallian wich saada pichha karde phirday ne. par amreeka virudh apni anni nafrat de vahaa wich Dalbir singh nu ikk banday de zurm te adhi kaum de dan-danaunday katil hazoom wich koi farak nazar nai aunda. Pehaly sikh victim Balbir SIngh Sodhi de marn ton dinna wich hi banda vi phareya giya te sarkar ne congress wich issda zikr vi keeta. par Nawin Dilli wich hazaran bedoosheyan de katil ajjkal Dalbir singh wargay patrkaaran nu interviewan de rahe ne. changa howe je kade Dalbir Singh ji ohna de sahmne apna Amreeki Embassy wich dikhayea josh vikhaan.

sakht shabdan lai khima da jachak haan par bhra Dalbir Singh ne vi te 30 lakh bhaartian nu ikko rassay banneya ay. kujh lok apni dharti de moh to vanjhay ho gaye ho sakday ne. kujh hankaari vi ho gaye hoange paisa aun naal par ziyadatar Bharti jad apnay mukh dian bakhtoyean karde ne taan asal ohna de dil wich ehi khahish hundi ay ke ohna da mukh vi kaash behtar hunda. kaash othey si insaaf milda, rozgar hunda, izzat hundi. waise vi jinna chir kisay problem di nishandehi na ho sake ussda hall vi nai mil sakda. shaiyad sanu bahir baitheyan nu Bharat vichlian problems ziyada nazar aundian ne jiwein tuhanu Amreeka dian.

akhir te main ikk gall kanri chahwanga jiss nu main pichhlay saal dauran barhi shidat na mehsoos keeta ay. 11 september ton pehlan beshak Amreeka wich sabh kujh achha nai si par sann 2000 da Amreeka kisay utopia ton ghatt nai si. shaiyad koi hi desh itehaas wich apnay nagrikan lai insaf, barabari, rozgar te khushhali iss kadr pardan kar sakyea howey. tuhada jo vi khiyal howey Amreekna baare, main 2 dahake reh ke eh mehsoos keeta hai ke Amreekan lok mool taur te insaaf pasand hann, niji jeevan wich doosray banday da rang, roop jaan zaat nu angaulday hain. saaday bazurg aithey pajamay te kurtay paa ke, siran te paggan banke sarkan te befikar turday rahe hann, maallan wich ghummday rahe hann kade kisay ne kujh nai kiha. katl dian vaardatan nai si hoyean. par par 11 september ton baad di tabdeeli barhi waddi hai. asin ajjay vi aithey sorekhayat haan. police, fauj, sarkar sadi hifazat te hai. koi ikka dukka katal, yaan hamla kisay vallon niji taur te dukh wali gall te hai par asin apnay Punjab wich iss ton wadd vekh ke aaye haan. Muslmana prati Amreeka di pahunch koi bahuti negative nahi si. aithey Sheikh te Mullay jiweiN marzi turn phiran. nitt nawian masjidan ban rahian sann, Islam amreeka wich sabh ton taizi naal phaill riha dharm si. par 9/11 ne Amreeka nu neend wichon jagaa ditta ay. ussne eh pakki samajh kar lai ay ke Islamic fundamentalism jithey vi hai othoN di society lai te ghatik hai hi, ohna di Amreeka prati nafrat kaarn Amreeka lai bahut ghatik hai. Itehaas dasda hai ke iss koorhvadi, kattarhvadi Islamists naal ikko tareeqay naal hi nijjitheya jaa sakda hai. eh sirf chhitar di boli hi bolda hai te chhitar di boli hi samjhda hai. Ikk rabaab te kirtan karde te qwalian gaunday sufi babay Nanak nu 250 saal laggay si iss nateejay te pahunchde. Amreeka takes fast decisions and fast actions. ehnu pehlay halley samjh paye gai ke Muslmana de iss group naal behas te koi samjhuta kamm nai aa sakda. unjh Amreeki apni bhadarpurshi wich sochday hann ke kiyoN ke 99% Muslman peaceful hann iss lai othey democracy waghaira naal sudhaar ho sakda hai. par eh ghalat hann iss wich. Islamic duniya wich 2 hi taran de raajay hoye hann. ikk fauji te doojay mullanay. apni iss ambitious plan da shuru Amreeka ne Iraq te keeta si. iss saal de ant takk ehna nu apni ghalt fehmi da ehsaas ho jaaweyga. communist aam taur te religious fundamentalism de khilaf rahe hann. Punjab wich Sikh kattarpanthian wallon chalai mohim de vi eh khilaf sann par iss vaar ehna ne sirf ikk apni Amreeka prati naftrat kaarn Jihadian de jamooray ban-na pata nai kiyon mann liya ay.

Amreeka nu pakka yakeen hai ke ehna lokkan koll je nuclear jaan hor maaru hatheyar hoan taan eh ikk pall vi nai sochange saday te challaun ton. ajihay ikk do hamlay kisay vi desh nu tabah karn lai kaafi hann. Bhaarat vi ehna da nishana hai, beshak haal di gharhi multavi howe. Amreeka aglay kai saal iss mudday nu lai ke larhai karega te ehna nu buray de ghar teek pahuncha ke ayega. kare Bharat vi eho, je ehday koll dam shakti howe.

pathkan ton muafi mangda haan ke Gurmukhi wich changi taran likhna na aunda hoan karke Roman wich likheya hai.

through the lines of this letter i want to solace dalbir and suggest him not to get upset over the matter of getting "waffa" from the people who dont know the meaning of it. this is a country which do not run on emotions. the indians here are fascinated by the green paper and white skin. i personally would not have to come here if i need not to but dalbir came here after all that " hungama" at the embassy just to get the heart burn. i will suggest to dalbir to forget about a small number of bewafa indians and concentrate on millions of faithful indians and help make india such a great country that will make these bewafa indians to go back.

I use to think that most of the articles written by Mr. Dalbir Singh presented well-balanced views and were born out of his critical thinking. However after reading this article on American Indians I am very disappointed in him. How can a writer of such caliber go down to this level? Seems like he has written this article on behest of some special interest. I think it will be better for him to write about problems in India. He should look at his own house first before pointing fingers at others. Its easy to blame others for your own failures. You cannot blame America for every problem in the world. America has the resources and its using it to further it self and its people. This is human nature. I am sorry to say that India as a country does not have this nature only few percent of its politicians, bureaucrats adhere to this nature and they only promote themselves. I have seen people moving from village to city and from small city to major metro and they all are doing this to further themselves in life. Mr. Dalbir Singh looks like you have lost some thing in the Indian system or was not able to achieve what you wanted and now you are getting your frustration out by writing such articles. For your information every year 65,000 H1B visas are issued to Indians. These visass are for professional only. More then 75,000 immigrant visas and 110,000 visitors visas are issued every year. You talked about the behavior of American embassy in Delhi then you should come and see the behavior of Indian Embassy - consulate staff overseas.

“Recently Khushwant Singh has also written an article on this subject “Why Indians turn into achievers abroad” and here is one paragraph from that article:

I HAVE been intrigued by the fact that so many Indians achieve eminence in different fields in foreign lands which they were unlikely to have if they had stayed in India. You can see them prosper as farmers, physicians, engineers, entrepreneurs, hoteliers, scientists, litterateurs, athletics — name the profession and you’ll find an Indian name in the list of toppers. Children of Indian parents get higher grades than do children of other ethnic groups. Millionaires of Indian origin in Europe, Canada, the USA, East Africa, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Philippines, Hong Kong and Japan far outnumber millionaires found in India. Why?

It has to be conceded that Indians have it in them to make as good, if not better than any other people of the world in any profession they enter. Why they don’t do as well in their own country is because of extensive corruption, favouritism, red-tapism, rampant trade unionism and mob rule to which they are frequently subjected. Countries in which Indians have flourished have less of these negative factors.”

Dalbir Singh Ji, you should clean your own house first and you know it needs cleaning on many fronts. I think readers from overseas have given you enough ideas to write about in the near future.

Thank you

Dear Principal Sarwan Singh Ji,

Sat Sri Akal. Please excuse me for writing in English because I do not know typing in Gurmukhi script.

Thanks for giving a beautiful description of the Ramoowalia Brothers' recent Kavishari show in Toronto. I wish was living nearby so that I could attend it. It has been a long time since I heard about them. I believe they were new arrivals in Toronto when I heard them in Pape Avenue Gurdwara in 71 or 72. I used to listen to S. Karnail Singh Paras Ji from All India Radio Jalandhar in the 50's and 60's. I enjoy their Dhadi Jathha's powerful voices and beautiful Sarangi music. I happen to have a LP record by Rachhpal Singh Ramoowalia, Kartar Singh Sidhu and Chamkaur Singh Sekhon. My favorite are "Chin te vich neehan de, chhote lal guru ji tere" and "Mitr piare nu jah kehde, paune haal mureendan da".

I enjoy Ranjit Singh and his jathha's sarongi music with Satinder Pal Singh as Sidhwan College Wale Jathha. My favorite is, " Tati tavi te beth gaye, Arjan guru piare". Their powerful voices and style is very similar to the Ramoowalia Jathha.

I remember you as a sports journalist from the late 60's. I have read the memorable stories in Aarsi magazine under Dharti Dhak ( Parvin Kumar -throws), Alsee Da Phul (Mohinder Singh Gill - jumps) and Kalehari Mor ( Jarnail Singh - middle distance running). From time to time, I have read about you doing the Kabbadi commentary in Canada. Please keep on writing about the sports personalities as an inspiration to the younger generation.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to S. Raj Bhupinder Singh for his kind offer to help me in obtaining the Punjabi magazines.

In the end, I request everyone to end the debate about the Indians in USA. In my opinion, it is negative in tone and has no literary value.

Regards,
Tarlochan Singh Bansi

Dear Mr. Editor,

As usual 5abi.com is updating all its readers about Punjabi celebrations abroad and updating us about developments at home. But the most important service to us is the articles on politics, social issues as well as many stories and poems and now the vocal presentations. In fact 5abi.com is improving right from its inception, and credit goes to all behind this superb site on Maa Boli.

Although I read 5abi.com daily but I am not consistent to write any comments about articles. But this time I had decided to write a note for the ever best articles of Shri. Mahip Singh ji. Both of his articles one about Swami Vivekanand ji and Dayanand ji and another on Castism I think would have helped our brethren to rethink about social issues back at home. My personal thanks to Mahip Singh ji for writing such thought provoking articles. Apart of that many articles by our senior leaders and journalists ( especially Sh. Kuldip Nayyar ji) update us about political scenario as well as our relationship with Pakistan.

But another article which like other readers have also instigated me to comment on is by Sh. Dalbir Singh ji's article on Indian Americans. I should not say too much against some comments Dalbir Singh ji has made, but to say that expatriate Indians are not honest to India is not at all acceptable. Many readers, Bhajan Singh ji, Raj Bhupinder Singh ji, Sinder Sumana ji, Ishvinder Pal Singh ji, Daljinder Singh ji and Barinder Singhji has commented against and in favour of this article. What ever Dalbir Singh ji experienced in US in 15 days depends upon where, when and whom he met, if he came across some haughty expatriates ( which is also quite common, I also come across many fellow expatriates who does not behave well with fellow Indians while considering themselves as Goras only) then I would say 15 days are not enough to judge the whole NRI community and labelling them as non serious about India. It is not justified.

Sir I am now an NRI but like Bhajan Singh ji after completing a highest degree in my own subject I could not get a job at home, even after facing about 75-80 interviews. During that job hunt, my luck struck and I got selected as a lecturer in Guru Nanak Dev University, but I was denied appointment by the authorities after putting an illegal condition, which was challenged by me in the High Court of Punjab and Haryana and still that case is pending in the court for the last 6 years. I spent one year to and ran pillar to post to convince university authorities that I can withdraw my case but if they can withdraw conditions. I was told on the face by the registrar that he will make every effort that I can never be selected in that university. Still no one is selected against that post as the case has not been decided by the High Court. In the mean while where ever I tried to get in any position I was never been selected or even called for interview but many friends of mine were given jobs as they had good SIFARISH or they had enough to feed the authorities. I still say had I got the job there it would be Australia or America for me.

That was the reason for me to migrate to Australia as I did not want to be a burden on my father who was about to retire from his job. To sustain my self and to marry girl of my own choice ( whose parents were against our alliance, because of different caste) and to lead a reasonable life I had only one option i.e. to come here and restart life from a new beginning. Here I worked in car washes, picked fruits, worked as kitchen hand in restaurants, in factories and let me remind you back at home all these jobs are below dignity of so called elites (Who suck blood of others). I found dignity of labour in western society which back at home is a new word or may be is not in any dictionary. After a struggle of couple of years I could enter in my own field, and while supporting family back home we started own life. Here people helped us to start life. It is important to mention that only few Indians became our support but many local Australians treated us equal. If you are good with others they too accept you and also stand by you for a cause.

Now regarding brain drain- as already pointed out by some that NRIs are equally participating in Indian development by depositing millions of dollars at home or by hiring skilled labour from India ( This is Indian Govt.'s policy to prepare skilled Indian work force which can fill vacuum in other countries and in return bring money at home. I think it was proposed by PM Mr. Vajpayee only). Recently Indian last President KR Narayanan has said that skilled NRIs shift to live in West has proved helpful to Indian both in terms of money as well as creating skills at home. I know personally many expatriate intelligentsia who are seeking opportunities to run some natural resource management projects at Home. In fact we are also trying to come up with a group to launch some Natural Resource Management Program in Punjab itself.

I do agree about political views of your about west or states but sir, many Indian expatriates are supporting US or west because they have got a lot ( many basics benefits of life) from west what they could not get at home. But in return they are helping India in may direct and indirect ways. I think NRIs should be encouraged by seniors like you. You may differ from many of West's policies but should change the way you project these and instead of criticising NRIs but make them understand your view point.

Here I do repeat we could help back at home while living here more than we could have done by living there. We are proud to be Indian but we are also proud of the country of adoption. Conditions will change much more fast if the corrupt leadership and bureaucracy in India will cease to create trouble on the name of religion, caste or class than while blaming others.

I request, Dalbir Singh ji to kindly take this message as a suggestion and not a criticism and keep writing about back at home as well as some misdeeds of expatriates too ( here I am pointing to those NRIs who lure innocent youth to west, marry innocent girls and make their life a hell or also spread hatred on the name of language, region and religion among Indians).

Kind regards!
Rajesh

Dear Principal Bajwa Ji,

Sat Sri Akal.

Please excuse me for writing in English. I do not know typing in Gurmukhi script. I have been reading your informative articles for a couple of months.

I fully agree with you about your observations about Punjabi music in Canada. I have similar observations in USA, too. My three children are US born. They started listening to Punjabi pop music when they entered the university. My elder daughter who is engineer and married, one day asked me to explain her the folk story of Jeena Maurh. My son has asked me why Sahiban hid/broke Mirza'a arrows if she was in love with him. At our last Lohri function, my younger daughter who is in her final year of Engineering degree, coached four 10-13 old girls to dance to Surjit Bindrakhia's hit song, "Too Jat di pasand".

I have noticed Amar Singh Shaunki's dhad sarangi songs from the 50's and 60's are being remixed these days. As an amateur singer, I have sung, "Aja bhabhi jhoot lai, peengh hulare laindi" and " Bhij gayeeaan nanhane poonian" at our Lohri functions. The purpose was to acquaint our children with our rich heritage. Incidently, one of the guests at the function told me that Shaunki's first Akhara was held in his village near Banga.

Sadly, I could not find any Punjabi magazine at the only magazine shop in Jalandhar Cantt during my last year's visit to Punjab. The owner's response was that there was no demand for Punjabi magazines.

At least there is a demand for Punjabi literature and music in USA and Canada.

Please continue to write and share your life's experiences with us.

Regards,
Tarlochan Singh Bansi, USA
