Banana Republic and Monkey Courts

India is projected as the largest democracy in the world because of ever increasing population of the country, But how good is the democratic system? Looking closely you will find that Indian democracy is sham and a lie. Corrupt politicians, arrogant civil servants, terrorizing police, and demoralized minorities make of the nation. The Indian judicial system consists of monkey judges who pass judgement under order from their political masters. Indian Judiciary System - a mockery of justice Here are some of the reasons why Sikhs feel betrayed by Indian constitution, political, judicial, and economic system: 1. Eversince independence, Delhi governments have systematically discriminated against Punjab state and favored neighboring state Haryana. Lack of investment have set the economy of state from 1st to 13th position. Why? Is it because Punjab has been ruled by non-Congress party or is it blatant discrimination? 2. During British Raj, the Sikhs represented 35% of army p

Indira Gandhi - Heroine or Monster?

Spooky similarity between Indira Gandhi and Cruela De Vil from 101 Dalmatians With her "Cruella DeVil" hairstyle, Indira Gandhi reminds me of the comic vamp from Disney movie 101 Dalmatians who hunted for dalmatian puppies for her fur coat. History will cast Indira Gandhi as a manipulative, divisive, and a cruel dictator who had blood of thousands of  innocent Indian citizens on her hand. Indira Gandhi as Goddess Durga Indira manipulated the Punjab situation with an eye on the forthcoming 1984 general election in India. In the past her strategy had been to divide the Hindu votes on castes and win elections on minority support. But the rise of Hindu right wing and success of BJP's movement to liberate the birth place of Hindu God Rama under the "Ram Janambhoomi" program had shaken her calculations. She saw Hindus united under one banner. She schemed a different strategy for the next elections. Her strategy was clear - paint minority Sikhs as &

Teach Your Sons to Respect Women

Women as Object - "Bhand" The heroic struggle of "Nirbhaya" the gang rape victim from Delhi is finally over. The brave girl wanted to live  .. she said this to her mother but alas ... this was not to be and we lost this brave daughter of India today. As we all ponder over her sad struggle, its time to think that she could have been our sister, daughter, or mother. A woman brought you in this world and you do not have the right to disrespect one or treat her like an object. This was the teaching of Guru Nanak, one of the greatest spiritual teacher form India and the founder of Sikhism. Asa di Var  is a collection of hymns from the Guru Granth Sahib which are sung early in the morning. The word  bhand  means woman as object, and is the theme of one of the  Asa di Var  hymns written by Guru Nanak. The great teacher tells the men of his time to not treat the women like a "Bhand" or object because we are all born from the same object. Guru Nan

History of Crime in Delhi

Understanding Crime in Delhi In recent years, Delhi has emerged as the crime and rape capital of India. My relations have lived in Delhi since 1928 and  I would like make an attempt to explain the reasons for high crime rate in Delhi. This information is based on what I have learned from my grandparents over time. Let's look at the evolution of Delhi as a cosmopolitan city over last three centuries. Figure 1: Old Mughal Delhi in 18th Century * The Mughal Delhi was a smaller city with rural villages scattered in outskirts. These were mostly populated by criminal tribes who would rob caravans and travelers at night. These tribes took advantage of anarchy after 1857 and joined the infamous "Pindari" gangs also known as "Thugs". The highway robbery became such a problem that the British had to use army to make the highways safe for public. Figure 2: Thugs executed publicly by British  * New Delhi was created by British to establish a modern city with
