Fulfilling a long-standing demand of its diaspora, India Sunday said it would allow NRIs to vote and participate in the election process. 'Pursuant to the law that was enacted to enable Non-resident Indians to vote in our national elections, the government has issued notifications for registration of overseas electors under the Representation of People Act, 1950,' Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said.
'This constitutes the first major step to enable Indian residents abroad to participate in our election process,' the prime minister said while addressing the annual Pravasi Bharatiya Divas diaspora meet here.
He said the diaspora plays an important role in the growth and development of the country. The government recognises it, and was committed to address their concerns and fulfil their demands.
'The government and people of India recognise and value the important role being played by Indian communities living abroad. We believe that Indian diaspora has much more to contribute to the building of modern India,' the prime minister said.
'We propose to facilitate, encourage and promote this engagement. Over the past year, we have taken a number of steps towards this end,' he added, as he formally inaugurated the 10th annual diaspora meet, the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (PBD) here.
Overseas Indian Affairs Minister Vayalar Ravi said NRIs would be able to exercise their franchise in upcoming elections.
'Indian nationals living abroad can now exercise their franchise in India at the time o f the elections,' Ravi said.
Now those NRIs who have registered with the embassies of their respective countries of stay, would be eligible to vote in the upcoming assembly elections in five states including Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Goa and Manipur. Polls will take place in these countries between Jan 28 and March 3.
Ravi said objective of the government was to further increase engagements with diaspora. 'Our objective is to raise the level of engagement to go beyond mere investment related issues and address a broader agenda.'
'We believe that this will provide the vast majority of you the opportunity to benefit from as well as contribute - each in your own way - to India's development story,' the minister said.
Later talking to media person, Ravi said this year's Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (PBD) is the largest congregation of Indian diaspora.
He said almost 1,900 delegates from around 60 countries were participating in the three-day event.

ਕਬਰ ਮੇਰੀ ’ਤੇ ਬਾਲਣਗੇ ਉਦੋਂ ਦੀਵੇ ਅੱਖੀਆਂ ਦੇ
ਲੁੱਟਿਆ ਏ ਕੁਝ ਮੈੰਨੂ ਮੇਰੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਨਸੀਬਾਂ ਨੇ,
ਬਾਕੀ ਮੈੰਨੂ ਲੁੱਟਿਆ ਏ ਏਥੇ ਰੂਹ ਦੇ ਸ਼ਰੀਕਾਂ ਨੇ,
ਦਿਲਾਂ ਵਾਲੀ ਖੇਡ ਸਾਰੀ ਸਾਡੇ ਹੁਣ ਸਮਝ ਚ ਆਈ,
ਬਣੇ ਰਹੇ ਅਸੀਂ ਐਵੇਂ ਹੀ ਅੱਜ ਤੀਕਰ ਸਾਂ ਸ਼ੁਦਾਈ,
ਲੋਕੀਂ ਸੱਜਣ ਉਹ ਮੰਗਦੇ ਜੋ ਦਿਲ ਤੋੜ ਕੇ ਤੁਰ ਜਾਵਣ,
ਵਾਂਗ ਪਾਣੀਆਂ ਭੁੱਲ ਕੇ ਪੁਲ ਜੋ ਮੁੜ ਕੇ ਨਾ ਆਵਣ,
ਪੱਥਰ ਦਿਲਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਐਵੇਂ ਝੂਠੀ ਆਸ ਲਗਾ ਬੈਠੇ,
ਜੋ ਸਾੰਨੂ ਤੱਕਣਾ ਚਾਹੁੰਦੇ ਨਾ ਅਸੀਂ ਉਹਨਾ ਨੂੰ ਚਾਹ ਬੈਠੇ,
ਆਖਰ ਇੱਕ ਦਿਨ ਜਦ ਉਹ ਮੇਰੀ ਕਬਰ ’ਤੇ ਆਵਣਗੇ,
ਇੱਕ ਵਾਰ ਉਹ ਮੇਰੀ ਸੂਰਤ ਤੱਕਣਾ ਚਾਹਵਣਗੇ,
ਕਬਰ ਮੇਰੀ ’ਤੇ ਬਾਲਣਗੇ ਉਦੋਂ ਦੀਵੇ ਅੱਖੀਆਂ ਦੇ
ਦੱਸਣਗੇ ਮੈੰਨੂ ਕਿੰਝ ਸਾਂਭ ਉਹਨਾਂ ਵੀ ਯਾਦਾਂ ਰੱਖੀਆਂ ਨੇ,
ਓਸ ਵਕਤ ਨਾ ਪੈਣ ਮੁੱਲ ਓਹਦੇ ਹੰਝੂ ਖਾਰਿਆਂ ਦਾ,
ਇਹੀ ਹੋਣਾ ਸਬੂਤ ਇਸ਼ਕ ਚ ਹਾਰਿਆਂ ਦਾ

ਮੇਰੀ ਮੌਤ ਜਾਂ ਤੇਰੀ ਯਾਦ
ਅਜ ਕੌਣ ਜਿੱਤ ਕੇ ਜਾਊ ਇਹ ਬਾਜ਼ੀ,
ਮੇਰੀ ਮੌਤ ਜਾਂ ਤੇਰੀ ਯਾਦ|
ਖੌਰੇ ਪਰਤ ਕੇ ਆ ਜਾਵੇਂ ਤੂੰ,
ਮੇਰੇ ਮਰਣ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਦ|
ਰੋਵੇਂ ਫਿਰ ਵੇਖ ਲਾਸ਼ ਮੇਰੀ ਤੂੰ ਕਰ ਕਰ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਯਾਦ|
ਪਰ ਰੋਯਾਂ ਫਿਰ ਕੁਝ ਲੱਭਦਾ ਨਾ,
ਜਦ ਜਿੰਦ ਹੋ ਜਾਂਦੀ ਅਜ਼ਾਦ|

ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਪਾ ਨਾ ਸਕਣ ਦਾ ਗਮ ਤਾਂ ਬਹੁਤ ਹੈ
ਪਰ ਹੁਣ ਜ਼ਿੰਦਗੀ ਵਿਚ ਹੋਰ ਕੁਝ ਖੋਣ ਦਾ ਡਰ ਵੀ ਨਹੀ ਰਿਹਾ !

Background     Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Nanak (Sikh Guru), was born at Patna Sahib on December 22, 1666, (Poh Sudi Saptmi). His birthday generally falls in December or January or sometimes twice within a year as it is calculated according to Hindu Bikrami Calendar, which is based on the lunar calendar. According to the Nanakshahi Calendar, the birthday of Guru Gobind Singh Sahib falls annually on January 5. A overview of Guru Gobind Singh's life     Guru Gobind Singh (1666-1708 C.E.) lived during an extremely dangerous time. His father, Guru Tegh Bahadur, had sacrificed his life to protect the freedom of worship by Hindus, who were being threatened with conversion or death by zealous Muslim rulers. Abduction of women and pillage of goods were rampant, but the people were too timid and terrorized to resist. In the midst of this political situation, Guru Gobind Singh gained great stature as both Saint and soldier: a leader of firm spiritual principles and intense devotion to God, and at the same time, fearless dedication to protecting all people from oppression and injustice through the practice of Kshatradharma.     In 1699, He dramatically initiated five men from the lower castes as His Five Beloveds, blessing them with great courage as well as nearness to God. They became models for the Khalsa, the Order of the Pure, which Guru Gobind Singh created to stand on the front line against injustice. The Khalsa were held to a very strict moral and spiritual discipline and under Guru Gobind Singh's courageous inspiration, helped to turn the tide against Mughal oppression in India.     In addition to his spiritual and military leadership, Guru Gobind Singh was a gifted intellectual and had many poets in his court. He was inspired to write many powerful spiritual compositions that infused a martial spirit in the people. This included the Jaap Sahib, but He did not include them in the Sikh scripture, the Guru Granth Sahib. His writings have instead been collected in a separate volume, called the Dasam Granth. Upon His passing away, He instructed his Sikhs to regard the Guru Granth Sahib as their teacher. 'Granth' literally means 'volume' (especially, a Holy volume). 'Sahib' is a term of reverance used for anything sacred. The Guru Granth Sahib is the perpetual guru of the Sikhs today.

ਦੁੱਖਾਂ ਦਰਦਾ ਸੀਨੇ ਸਾੜੇ, ਮੂੰਹ ਦੇ ਬੋਲ ਰਸੀਲੇ ਨੇ
ਇਸ ਦੁਨੀਆ ਵਿੱਚ ਜੀਵਨ ਕਾਹਦਾ, ਜਿਉਂਦੇ ਰਿਹਣ ਦੇ ਹੀਲੇ ਨੇ
ਪੱਥਰਾਂ ਦੇ ਇਸ ਸ਼ਹਿਰ ਦੇ ਅੰਦਰ, ਹਰ ਇਕ ਬੰਦਾ ਪੱਥਰ ਹੈ
ਕੁਝ ਪੱਥਰ ਨੇ ਕਾਲੇ ਪੱਥਰ, ਕੁਝ ਪੱਥਰ ਚਮਕੀਲੇ ਨੇ
