Dear editor

This is Riaz Ul Hassan Khilji from Punjab Lok Rahs. We are a parallel theater group in Lahore – Pakistan. Our group is working on several issues like education, women rights, child rights, unemployment and many problems directly related to people and projecting it through theater.

I am sending you our introduction documents of our organization. The basic purpose for this contact is to develop some organizational relations with other peoples and organizations working in theater and development. This is an effort also to form a circle of such groups around the globe for work sharing, developing new contacts and finding new dimensions.

Rahs performs plays only in the mother language of its audience – the people of Punjab. The group believes that the mother language lies at the heart of the issue of cultural identity and is central to the political struggle of the down trodden classes as well in our part of the world.

We are working to develop a database of the Punjabi people living around the globe. This will include Punjabi websites and portals, virtual groups, individuals who are working for Punjabi or related to Punjabi activities and Punjabi activist organizations. This will help to consolidate and empower Punjabi activates in different regions of the world.

I will be waiting for your kind response.  (Please email Riaz at:  riaz@5abi.com )

Thanks
Riaz Ul Hassan Khilji

Very many thanks for giving information about Raag Bihagra.

Regarding Bhai Mardana Ji's Vani I am to say as under:

Although it is written as 'Salok Mardana' but at the end of each Salok 'Nanak Pad' is written. Just like other Gursikhs, Baba Sunder, Bhai Satta and Balwand and all other Bhagts and Bhatts, Mardana Ji should have included his name and not Nanak which shows that this Vani is of Guru Nanak and not Bhai Mardana. No body used Nanak Pad in his Vani except Guru Sahibs. We have great respect for Bhai Mardana Ji who remained with Sahib Guru Nakak for his whole life. In my opinion Guru Nanak Sahib Ji written these saloks and addressed to Mardana Ji to keep his long association with Guru Ji to remember him while studying Sahib Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

I am sorry I am not a very good English writer. I have expressed my thoughts just to explain my knowledge about Gurbani.

Wahaguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh.

PANJABI SUBA---PAGDI SAMBHAL JATTA.

S. Harbir Singh Bhanwar's article is not only informatory but it is also a very toucy one.Knowing about all the facts, it makes my blood boil with anger. And I am sure that millions of Sikhs around the world feel the same way. I agree with him one hundred percent with the theory that whatever has happened in past and what is happening now in Punjab, is the consiparacy of the Hindu Governments ,weather it is Congress or Jan Sang (now BJP).

But my question to all the sikhs in the world is that what are we doing about it.Whenever Panjabi Chief Ministers or Sikh leaders come to the western world, wheather it is England, Canada or the U.S, we greet them with open arms (nothing wrong with that) we give them expensive and elegent receptions, like to take pictures with them(and show them to our friends and relatives with pride).Why dont we ask them about what is happening in Punjab and make them accountable for all this.

I live in Canada which boasts about 500,000 population of sikhs. I have noticed that on certain occasions these politicians did make some promises to do something to protect, Punjab, Punjabi and Punjabiat, but as soon as they put their steps on Indian soil, they forget about all the promises they made.The important thing here is when we have seen this happening on numerous occasions, why dont we give a damn about them when they visit our lands next time. Why, instead of giving them lavish receptions, we welcome them with our angry demonstrations or leave them alone and just ignore them. Is not it time that instead of blaming those professional crooks, and liars we do something ourselves.

My suggestion to all the sikhs and Punjabi loving people is that they should get together and establish some kind of institutions in all the major cities of England, Canada, U.S, Australia, Newzealand or wherever the Punjabi loving people live to promote Punjabi in India. Establish some schloarships and Awards towards the brilliant Punjabi students not only in Punjab but also all over India.The money we spend to honour these leaders and politicians can be spent towards promoting Punjabi.It is tough task, but let us not forget that we belong to the religion of Guru Nanak and Guru Gobind Singh who believed in their idiology and showed us the path through the teachings of Guru Granth Sahib ji.

I read about Karamjit Kaur and her two sons from Guru Nanak Pura Mohalla that she is suffereing from AIDS. Can anyone help me to find her address because I want to send her money. Person giving money should be genuine because I am not a rich person, just want to help a lady in very bad situation. I hope I will find a God-Fearing genuine person from your site who can send money to this needy lady.

Dear Dr. Baldev Kandola,

S. Harbir Singh Bhanwar has done a commendable job in summarizing facts dealing with the province of East Punjab (India) and the Punjabi language since 1947. The Punjabi language suffered immensely after the partition of India into India and Pakistan in 1947. When you look at the Punjabi speaking population in the world which is 70 million, same as French speaking, Punjabi is tenth in size. We must promote our mother tongue in order to keep it alive otherwise Punjabi would meet the same fate as did Sanskrit and Latin - world's great languages.

On February 21st each year, UNESCO celebrates "International Mother Tongue Day" to promote linguistic diversity, multilingual education and multicultural traditions in order to achieve understanding, tolerance and dialogue. There are a number of talented Punjabies around the globe who are urged to organize dramas, mushairahs, kavi durbars, music/dance nights, write articles, stories and poems on or around this date. Best of all, start talking to your children in Punjabi at home.

You are rendering a great service towards the promotion of PUNJABI - our mother tongue. I am grateful. With kind regards,

Sarwan S. Dhanda, Canada

I happened to have a look at page "KAVITA" with heading "SIKHI DI SIKHYA" by Jaswant Singh Bagga.
Nice photo composition appears besides the Poem. However, there is one  glaring mistake in the "IK ONKAR". The word when written in Gurmukhi  consists of three characters - (i) ik (ii) oan (iii) kar. In this picture, it depicts ikoan and not ikoankar. "KAR" is the half circle that goes beyond  the the "oorha" finishing line. If not clear, plz let me know, shall make a drawing and send it to you. It would be highly appreciable if contributors depict everything in its true  sense. Presumably, this depicts lack of understanding of the construction of   the word 'IK OAN KAR". I would further appreciate if this clarification is published for all to know

I have read the insertion of Mr. Bal which seems to be indication of some personal revenge against Mr. Khosa . O do not know both of them personally but as a Reader I do
not like to encourage such attitude for the popularity of this News Paper . No body should be allowed to bring the personal issues and comments in the columns which create media pollution .

Sat Sri Akal Dalbir Singh Jee

I am deeply touched by your views on sexual abuse of women and legal system. Yes, there is need for these writings. I hope to see change in our legal system so that more cases can come forward. We may never be in a position to put an end to sexual abuse but perhaps reduce the number of cases.

I wish there are Punjabi fonts and I can write you my heart on this in Punjabi language.

Keep up the great work.

Kind Regards,
Amandeep

People like Mehndi are a scar on the face of our community. We, the ;Punjabis in Canada and United States are fed up with all these scandals which we hear about SINGERS AND ACTORS who smuggle people to the western world under the shadow of CULTURAL SHOWS AND ARTISTIC PRESENTATIONS.It takes us years to build up a good reputationIn in the Canadian communities and one action like of Mr. Mehni destroys the whole thing. In my view these people should be punished severely in the country of their origin so that the other people like 'them' can learn a lesson.

At the same time we really appreciate the efforts of the Police who without thinking of the possible consequences are doing its job and trying to bring these elements to justice.

I will not forget to mention the honest media who also play their honest role and bring everything in the open to the public, which deserves to know the facts.

I find it very hard to believe why Raj Bhubhinder Singh was offended when Dalbir Singh remotely mensioned JATTS in his article. Don't get me wrong I am also a JATT but lately my experence with a lot of them clearly make me of the view that ONLY QUALIFICATION MOST OF THEM HAVE is that they are JATTS.

This is an attempt to use professor SAHIB SINGH JI's name for own advantage. People who are opposing these writings did call Professor Sahib Singh NASTIK as well when he translated GURU GRANTH SAHIB JI and did try their best to stop that translation from being published.

Dear Editor,

ZUBAN SAMBHAL KE BOLO PUNJABI BY ABHAY SINGH

I read the article by S. Abhay Singh with great interest. It points out the need for simplicity in the Punjabi as well as the Hindi language so that a lay-man could grasp the meaning of a word, phrase or sentence easily. We should not be concerned with the origin of a word. But we should try to use simple words which are easily understood by the addressed person(s). The language which is liberal in adopting popular words of other languages flourishes and becomes more popular with masses.

Thank you S. Abhay Singh for writing a beautiful article on the much needed topic and thank you 5abi.com for providing a wonderful service to our mother-tongue PUNJABI. Keep it up!
