News Khabran / 17 year old boy Killed after arrest by police
« on: January 16, 2012, 05:11:54 AM »

Reports from Punjab have confirmed the death of 17 year old Veer Singh ‘Heera’ while in police custody today.
 
According to Veer Singh’s family, their son was arrested and taken into custody for questioning by Inspector Rajesh Sunehi and 20 others on the afternoon of the 8th. The family claimed that they received no news of his whereabouts until the morning of the 9th when an unknown individual named ‘Mangat Singh’ dropped Veer Singh’s corpse off at the Barnala civil hospital.



 
Responding to the family’s allegations that Veer Singh was tortured and killed in police custody, Inspector Sunehi plead ignorance. According to the police, the 17 year old youth was taken to a railway station and released the same night of his arrest and suspicious death.
 
The court appointed magistrate, Jaswant Rai has since taken statements from all parties involved and said that appropriate action would be taken once results from the postmortem report are made public.
 
The Punjab Police, notorious for it’s human rights violations, was responsible for using brutal methods to crush the Sikh Independence Movement in the 80’s and early 90’s. According to Amnesty International, “thousands of ‘disappearances‘ or extrajudicial executions were allegedly carried out by the police as part of a deliberate policy to eliminate armed opposition groups as well as their supporters.” Despite the end of militancy, extrajudicial executions and disappearances have not stopped in Punjab. The examples of Shaminder Singh Shera and Sohan Singh who were tortured and killed in police custody in 2011 are ample evidence of this fact.
 
Reacting to the allegations of custodial murder, Moninder Singh, spokesperson of the CSC, demanded that an independent investigation take place to apprehend Veer Singh’s murderers and punish them accordingly. He went on to say that, “corruption, a lack of accountability, and discriminatory policies and tendencies against minorities breed a culture of impunity within India’s security forces. It is this culture that encourages police officers to torture and kill innocent people.”

Punjabi Stars / Meva Singh: A Real Canadian Hero
« on: January 13, 2012, 01:09:01 PM »



Bhai Meva Singh came to Canada in 1906, a time when thousands of new Sikh immigrants from Punjab were coming to Canada - [as a matter of right, being citizens of the British Empire] - looking for greener pastures and a better life.
Like many other Sikh-Canadian pioneers, Meva Singh too was employed in the lumber industry and worked at Fraser Mills. In his spare time, he did seva at the gurdwara.
                                                     


He had arrived in Canada at a time when racism against non-white immigrants was at its peak. As a newcomer, his found the natives less than welcoming. Local newspapers portrayed the early Sikh immigrants in a negative fashion. They were refused rental accommodations and were not allowed to purchase food from local grocers.


No social organizations endeavored to help the Sikhs. Local politicians were even spewing venom against them, despite the fact that they were equal British subjects. In addition to this, in 1907 Meva Singh witnessed the taking away of voting rights from Sikh immigrants by the legislature in British Columbia.


Like many Sikhs of the time, he witnessed the anti-Asian riots of 1907.  In 1908, he lived through the Canadian government’s mischievous plan to rid Canada of all new Sikh immigrants by sending them to the British Honduras. In that same year, he saw  the implementation of the racist Continuous Passage law and the hardships it caused Sikhs who were planning on bringing their families from Punjab in hopes of starting a new life in Canada.


The infamous law had effectively banned all immigration from the subcontinent.


The negative attitudes of the press, the public and the politicians, in addition to the anti-Sikh immigration policies of the Canadian government, had a negative effect on the local Sikh population. After 1908, the Sikh population of British Columbia started to rapidly decline. By 1910, a population which had reached around 6000 in 1908 was reduced to about 2200.


Despite these unsavory experiences of racism and hostility, Meva Singh decided to stay in Canada. He  - like many other Sikh immigrants of his time - worked hard and made a positive contribution to the development of British Columbia.


After a few years of relative calm, the Komagata Maru incident occurred. Meva Singh was reminded of how racist and intolerant Canadian society was. It must have been difficult for him to see would-be Sikh immigrants who were also British subjects not being allowed to domicile in Canada, which was but a mere part of the British Empire at that time.


For Meva Singh, the turning point came on September 15, 1915 when he saw a man named Bela (who worked as an informant for the Canadian immigration department) enter the gurdwara on West Second Avenue, Vancouver, and shoot two devout Sikhs: Bhai Bhag Singh and Bhai Battan Singh.


Like the entire community, Meva Singh was devastated by this event.


Soon after this, he started receiving threats from Inspector Hopkinson and his East-Indian agents who were working for the immigration authorities. Meva Singh was threatened that if he didn’t give testimony in favour of Bela, that he - Meva Singh - would also be murdered.


Meva Singh didn’t waver. He testified in court and spoke the truth. He told the court that Bela had shot Bhai Bhag Singh and Bhai Battan Singh from behind, without any prior provocation.


After giving this testimony, Meva Singh Ji was threatened once again by a mole named Babu who worked for Inspector Hopkinson. This time the threat was even more severe. Meva Singh was told that the next time he was seen walking the streets of Vancouver, he would be shot dead.


Hearing this threat outraged Meva Singh. He realized that not only were his co-religionists and he being severely oppressed in Canada, they were now being told that they didn’t even have the right to speak the truth. It was then that Meva Singh decided to die a death of a martyr rather than live the life of an oppressed person.


Meva Singh held Inspector Hopkinson responsible for the murder of the two Sikhs in the gurdwara because the killer was working on Hopkinson's direct orders.


Hopkinson was to appear in court on October 21, 1914 to testify in favour of the killer Bela. Meva Singh went to court that same day and shot and killed Hopkinson. 


After shooting Hopkinson, Meva Singh dropped his weapon and immediately surrendered to the authorities.


He was put on trial. He was found guilty and sentenced to death by hanging.


In his to the court Bhai Meva Singh said: “My religion does not teach me to bear enmity with anybody, nor had I any enmity with Mr. Hopkinson. He was oppressing poor people very much. I, being a staunch Sikh, could no longer bear to see the wrong done both to my countrymen and the Dominion of Canada. This is what led me to take Hopkinson’s life and sacrifice my own life. And I, performing the duty of a true Sikh and remembering the name of God, will proceed towards the scaffold with the same amount of pleasure as a hungry baby goes towards his mother.”


On January 11, 1915 at 7:45 am, Bhai Meva Singh was executed in New Westminster. Four hundred Sikhs stood outside and braved the rain and cold weather to receive Bhai Meva Singh’s body. They took out a procession through the city and cremated the body of the martyr at the Fraser Mills with great pride and honour.


Sikh-Canadians have continued to celebrate the legacy of Bhai Meva Singh every year since 1915. Annual mela and divans are held across British Columbia, as will be the case this week.

News Khabran / Sikh wins turban case against France in UN
« on: January 13, 2012, 04:21:06 AM »

                                             
                                   



This news  would bring great relief for the Sikhs living in France and elsewhere in Europe that the United Nations Human Rights Commission (UNHRC) has asked France to submit a report by March 15 on measures it is planning to take against violation of religious freedom of  Ranjit Singh (76), who was asked to remove his turban while taking photo for an identity card.


Mejinder Pal Kaur, legal director of Sikh NGO, United Sikh today informed in Paris that following today’s observation of UNHRC, the Sikhs had won the turban case against France at UN.


Quoting the media conference held in Bobigny, near Paris, by the United Sikhs legal team that had filed a communication in December 2008 on beahlf of Ranjit Singh, she said the UNHRC had concluded that France had violated the religous freedom of Ranjit Singh.


The committee observed that France had failed to explain how the turban hindered identification since the wearer’s face would be visible and he would be wearing the turban at all times, Manjinder Pal Kaur said.


“I had faith that truth and justice would prevail and I patiently waited for this day. I pray that France will now fulfil its obligation and grant me a residence card bearing my photo without baring my head” the appelent Ranjeet Singh is reported to have said on being informed about the observation of UNHRC.


Mejinderpal Kaur said that they were happy with the Committee’s observations that France was under obligation to provide Ranjit Singh with an effective remedy, including a reconsideration of his application for renewal of residence permit and a review of the relevant legislative framework and its application in practice.


“We now look to France to fulfill its treaty obligations under International law and its moral duty to ensure that the freedom of religion and belief is upheld for everyone who lives within its territory,” she added.


In 2004, a ban on turbans began to effect Sikh children in France–they couldn’t attend public school wearing a turban. Shortly, the ban was more widespread and eventually overtook all facets of government services for young and old alike

Religion, Faith, Spirituality / Sikh view on aarti
« on: January 01, 2012, 01:10:38 PM »

Kaisi AARTI hoye











From Sanskrit Aarti, meaning the light or the vessel containing it which is waved before an idol, generally in the clockwise direction, accompanied by the chanting of mantras. This is also the name given the ceremony, which for the Hindus is a mode of ritual worship to propitiate the deity. In the Sikh system, which totally rejects image-worship, there is no permission for this form of worship.
According to the Janam Sakhis, Guru Nanak Dev Ji accompanied by Bhai Mardana Ji, stopped near the temple of Jagannath, which is dedicated to Hindu god Vishnu. Guru Nanak Dev Ji and Bhai Mardana Ji stopped near the shrine upon which sat centuries of history mute and immobilized. The notes from Bhai Mardana’s Rabaab (rebeck) touched the devotees’ hearts with fresh fervor. Several of them came to hear the Guru’s word. The temple priests felt angry and held the Guru Ji guilty for not making adoration to the deity within the sacred enclosure. The local chief whose name has been described, as Krishan Lal one day visited the Guru and invited him to join the aarti, or the evening service of lights, in the temple. The Guru readily offered to go with him.


As dusk fell, the priests lighted the lamps and sumptuous ritual for which the devotees had been waiting began. Twinkling lights fed by ghee were placed on a jewel studded salver, amid flowers and incense, and worshipfully swung from side to side by the priest in front of the enshrined image to the accompaniment of the chanting of hymns, blowing of conches and the ringing of bells. The priests had a complaint as they concluded. The Guru had remained seated in his place and not participated in the ceremony. The Guru burst into a divine song:


ਧਨਾਸਰੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੧ ਆਰਤੀ
ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥ਗਗਨ ਮੈ ਥਾਲੁ ਰਵਿ ਚੰਦੁ ਦੀਪਕ ਬਨੇ ਤਾਰਿਕਾ ਮੰਡਲ ਜਨਕ ਮੋਤੀ ॥
ਧੂਪੁ ਮਲਆਨਲੋ ਪਵਣੁ ਚਵਰੋ ਕਰੇ ਸਗਲ ਬਨਰਾਇ ਫੂਲੰਤ ਜੋਤੀ ॥੧॥
ਕੈਸੀ ਆਰਤੀ ਹੋਇ ਭਵ ਖੰਡਨਾ ਤੇਰੀ ਆਰਤੀ ॥
ਅਨਹਤਾ ਸਬਦ ਵਾਜੰਤ ਭੇਰੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
The sky is the salver
And the sun and the moon the lamps.
The luminous stars on the heavens are the pearls.
Scented air from the sandal-clad hills is the incense,
The winds make the fan for Thee,
And the vast forests wreath of flowers.
The unstruck music of creation is the trumpet.
Thus goes on the Arati (adoration) for Thee,
O’ Thou dispeller of doubt and fear!


Guru Nanak Dev Ji taught the listeners, how Nature’s tribute to the Creator was superior to any ritualistic oblation offered before images.
Every evening in all Gurudwaras, after the recitation of Rehraas Sahib, the Keertan (singing) of Aarti through Gurbani shabads is performed by Raagis (musicians). This is a tremendously soothing experience, capable of taking us directly into the spiritual realms of devotion through music.
