The Government of India has thus created difficulties\nfor future visits of its leaders who often address the Indians abroad, lt is\nthus unfortunate that the strict protocol should commence from Amritsar. \u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;\"\u003EIt was only\nafter great reluctance the government of India had agreed to the British\nproposal that the Queen visited Amritsar, that too when the Prime Minister\nlnder Kumar Gujral's had personally intervened in the issue.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nWHY SHE KEPT QUIET From page 5 much embarrassing remarks\nwere made public by a journalist. In fact for a while there were speculations\nthat the Queen may not visit Amritsar at all. Thereafter the Government of\nIndia agreed to the Amritsar visit. Had there been no restrictions from the\nGovernment of India the Queen was likely to receive much elaborate reception at\nKhalsa College premises in the presence of a mammoth rally, as was given to the\nQueen Victoria ll in 1905. The British in fact had the same reception in mind.\nThus under the political compulsions what the Queen could do most to assuage\nthe feeling of the Sikhs was by wearing a kesri coloured clothes and the hat. \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003EThe day Queens\ncoterie landed at Delhi on october 12, she was greeted by a few black flags by\nsome Sikhs of the National Akali Dal of Delhi led by some Sarkari Akali of the\nRachhpal Singh or Mahant Sewa Das brand.

For every\nmajor area which had the potential of growth of Sikhism, a person called\n'masand' (Arabic 'masnad') or agent was appointed. There are several references\nin the Sikh history to the masands. At one place it is mentioned that the third\nGuru appointed 22 masands for various cities. As a token of appointment the\nmasands were handed over the Sikh flag' (yellow coloured) and a pothi the Gurbani\nbook. The place of masand was called manji, the cot as they were not expected to\nsit on a formal throne.

Sushruta Samhita is highly scientific in its approach.\nCertain surgical procedures are used even today in the same manner as desired in\nthis treatise. There is also an elaborate and detailed description of instruments\nused for surgical operations.

Artha Veda deals with economic\nmatters. Dhanur Veda is concerned with art and science of warfare technology.\nThe princes and {he warrior communities were trained by their gurus in\ndifferent martial arts archery and battle strategy, Guru

Iike wise, Punjabi cultural\ntroupes, folk sinEers, theatre groups, and poets should be encouraged to visit\nthese countries to entertain Punjabis living abroad. Our cultural and\neducational institutions should try to bridge this cultural cleft. The Punjabis\nliving in the U.S.A., the U.K. Canada, Thailand, lndonesia, and the Phillipines\netc. have constructed Gurdwaras, Temples and Mosques which also serve as\ncultural centres for the respective communities. \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003EHaving spent several\nyears outside Punjab I had the occasion to closely observe these migrants. I\nwas in Madhya Pradesh for some time. and found several Punjabi institutions in\nJabalpur which celebrate Punjabi festivals with great enthusiasm. Earlier\nDussehra was celebrated in Madhya Pradesh without the burning of effigies of\nRavana etc. This practice was introduced there by none other than the\nrollicking Punjabis. Baisakhi, an important festival of the Punjab is\ncelebrated with great pomp and show in Mumbai. Evidently Punjabi festivals are\nenthusiastically celebrated with tremendous fan fare by Punjabis living in\nother parts of India as well as abroad. \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003EEducational\ninstitutions too can become catalyst between Punjabis abroad and\n\"Punjabiat\". For example, graduates from many educational\ninstitutions are serving at various places in foreign lands. If they form\nassociations, they can establish contacts with their resPective institutions. A\nnumber of graduates of the Punjab Agricultural University are Working in the\nU.S.A. A few years ago, they started the American Chapter of the Punjab Agricultural\nUniversity Alumni Association and today have 130 members. Iike wise, many\ngraduates of Guru Nanak Engineering College, Ludhiana are working in North\nAmerica and have formed Guru Nanak\u003Cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;\n\u003C\/span\u003EEngineering College Overseas Alumni Associaiion. A number of medical\ngraduates from different colleges of Punjab are working. in North America and\nother parts of the world. if they form similar alumni associations, they can\nrevive links with their parent institutions\" These associations can\nenlighten the members about the progress and problems of their Colleges,\nUniversities which too can feel proud of their old students. \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003EIt is essential that\neducational institutions in the Punjab should reserve seats for the children of\nPunjabis settled abroad. Although this practice creates problems for the\ncandidates from the Punjab, yet it fulfils a legitimate demand of overseas\nPunjabis. Such reservation is necessary to extend educational opportunities to\nchildren of Punjabis living in foreign countries. Naturally, they have to incur\ngreater expenses on fees and other facilities but these are still less then the\nexpenses on education in the countries they have migrated to. Furthermore, the\noverseas Punjabis feel hesitant to expose their wards to a foreign culture in\ntheir tender age and are keen to give education in the Punjab itself. Adequate\nschools with hostel facilities should, therefore, be set up to meet their\nrequirement. This would enable their children know various tenets of Indian Culture\nand appreciate it. \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003EA large number of\nPunjabi scientists, doctors, engineers, and other experts are also working in foreign\ncountries. Whenever they happen to visit punjab they should write to proper\neducation institution in the state which could organise their lectures and hold\nseminars in order to share their knowledge and experience. \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003EThe overseas Punjabis\nare not aware of the striking development that has\u003Cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp; \u003C\/span\u003Etaken place in the Punjab. It is therefore\nimperative that they are informed about this progress through the cultural\ncentres. Every Punjabi is proud of the fact that against only 10 lac tons of wheat\nproduced in the Punjab at the time of partition, the production has now reached\n92 lac tons. In the same way, we produced only one lae ton of rice in 1950-51\nbut last year, our production of rice was rnore than 45 lac tons. Very few\nPunjabis know that Ludhiana has the third highest factory for manufacturing\nbicycles in the world. \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nThe overseas Punjabis have \u003Cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003Eshown keen interest in remaining linked with\nthe soil through matrimonial relations. Many Punjabi families come to the\nPunjab for this purpose only. Many Punjabis who have long been away from the\nPunjab face many problems in such matters. Matrimonial columns of daily\nnewspapers are also a great help in this direction. Some social institutions\nshould come forward to help and advise in this regard. lf overseas Punjabis\nhave matrimonial relations with people in the State, they would remain linked\nwith the land forever. Another pertinent Problem of overseas Punjabis is\nsustaining a contact with Punjabi language. Without this, the new generations\nwould lose touch with the Punjab and the Punjabi Culture. The children learn\nthe foreign language in schools and their social circles but they do not learn\nPunjabi if no one communicates with them in this language. lf they do not know Punjabi,\nthey will fail to appreciate Punjabi culture. lt is not a difficult task, in\nfact merely a matter of firm determination that the parents use Punjabi in\nsocial and family circles there by giving children a chance to know their\nmother tongue and homeland. lt is a Pity that many Punjabis hesitate to sPeak\nto one another in their mother tongue. lf talking in a foriegn language is a\nsign of scholarship avoiding the use of mother tongue is a sign of intellectual\nslavery. Overseas Punjabis must use Punjabi in their homes if they wish to have\nperpetual connection with the rich culture of the Punjab. There is hardly any country\nin the world where people speak a foreign language at home and the Punjabis\nliving outside the Punjab should own Punjabi which is a definite key to the\ntreasure of the Punjab and the \"Punjabiat\".\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.punjabmonitor.com\/feeds\/8798803495296969043\/comments\/default","title":"Post

the\nFree India adopted its written constitution its architects made bold claims\nthat it ensured right to life and other fundamental rights where judiciary was\nindependent of the executive. We will be untruthful to ourselves if we do not\nadmit that during the last decade it was an SHO who finally decided whether a\nboy was a murderer or not. The fact is that the Punjab is a state in the world\nwhich respects human rights the least, be it the Naxal days or the Khalistani\ndecade. In accordance with the 1993 Act the government now has a proposal to\nconstitute a Human Rights Commission in Punjab. KULWINDER SANDHU has some\nreservations over its speedy and effective implementation. \u003C\/h4\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003EOfficial inquiries\nare often announced to defuse or preempt outrage and quell alternate scrutiny.\nFrom the commission to unravel the mystery of Netajis disappearance through the\nJPC and many other investigations by CBI including disappearance of 2000 Sikh\nyouths between 1988 to 1992 in Amritsar district, the wait for truth to prevail\nhas been long and in most cases futile. Even when the findings finally see the\ndaylight, public interest may have waned. More often the Commission report is\nnever released and thereby no lessons are ever learnt. However the media, the\nNGOs and the human rights activists have for long stubbornly undertaken the\nunappreciated Herculean assignment of investigating into various violation\ncases. \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003EIt seems alt this\ncould change in the Punjab, if we take Prakash Singh Badals promise made\nsometime back seriously. A more comprehensive and permanent alternative to the\nexisting fact-finding and redressal measures in the human rights domain is in\nthe offing. The Punjab Human Rights Commission, contemplated by the powerful\n1993 Human Rights Protection Act, is expected to be notified\u003Cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp; \u003C\/span\u003Esoon. \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \u003C\/span\u003EIts statutory\nmandate is to\u003Cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp; \u003C\/span\u003Eprotect the constitutional\nguarantees\u003Cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp; \u003C\/span\u003Eand enforceable international\nminimum standards of human rights. According to an official spokesman of the\nPunjab Government, this would be done through an inquiry either suo-moto or on\na complaint registered with it regarding violation of human rights,\nintervention in relevant court proceedings, review of safeguards,\nrecommendations of remedial action, study of human rights instruments,\nresearch, awareness, follow up action and encouragement of NGOs. And \"such\nother functions as it may consider necessary for promotion of human\nrights.\" \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nNo doubt Badal governments intentions seem to be impressive,\nbut the real question would be whether the PHRC would stand up as a genuine\nhuman rights defender or would !t be co-opted by the state to espouse a watered\ndown official version of reality? Skepticism is rife given the experience with\nexisting commissions and bodies. The 1993 Act asks the Chief Minister, Speaker,\nHome Minister and Leader of the Opposition in the Parliament to get together to\nnominate the chairperson and members. Truly, PHRC would only be as good as its\nmembers. But beyond appointments, the taming or politicisation of this PHRC\nwould not be that easy, as this statutory body has in-built safeguards through\nthe 1993 Act. \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003EThe 1993 Act says\nthat this five- member state commission would be headed bya sitting or retired\nHigh Court Judge and have two other Judicial members, giving it a judicial\nvisage. The two other members are required to merely have \"knowledge of or\npractical experience in matters relating to human rights\", a condition\nthat your newspaper agent or my talkative barber may fulfill, not to speak of\nany career politician. Human Rights groups and NGOs have been highly\ndisappointed that there is no representation for human rights experts or\nactivists. For the three honourable judicial members too it is not yet decided\nwhether the necessity of such human rights qualification should be made compulsory\nor not. Punjab government is silent on this. \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nThe PHRC would undoubtedly draw inspiration from the\nNational Human Rights Commission which though only a few years old, has\nfearlessly gone about its business as a sort of ombudsman on human rights.\u003Cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp; \u003C\/span\u003EHowever, there is no reason for the State to\nbe apprehensive about the PHRC, which is conceived neither as a counter weight\nnor a replacement for the State in the human rights arena. The PHRC would not\nwave the red flag at the government although it could in a formal partnership\nemerge as an effective lobbyist working to improve human rights protection. \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nPHRC demand would be an adequate police staff and\nadministrative, scientific and technical personnel to carry out its functions.\nThis bestows on PHRC both investigative and administrative capability. But\ndespite powers of civil court to summon witness and securing documents, it must\nassert its willingness to have access to original\u003Cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp; \u003C\/span\u003Erecords.\u003Cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;\n\u003C\/span\u003EMoreover, during\u003Cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp; \u003C\/span\u003Einvestigations,\nthe commission would have to acquire independent means of thinking, determining\nfacts, stand on its own ground and do plain thinking when necessary. \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003EWith regard to the\nCommissions jurisdiction, according to a legal expert, there are noticeable\nlimitations. Firstly, it cannot entertain complaints as regards violations\nwhich are two years old. This virtually excludes the treatment of cases that\nhad either been hidden or undetected. This is constraining particularly in\ncases such as torture or disappearance. Secondly, the commission cannot visit\njails or any other institution (including refugee camps) under the control of\nthe Government, without intimation to the State-Government. Adequate notice for\ncover-up is of concern in the critical matters. \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003EThe strength of PHRC\nwould be in its mandate for the follow uP measures on its findings. Its reports\nare not onty to be published, but have to be laid down before the legislature.\nThe only thing clear is that it will have to be taken as seriously by\npoliticians and bureaucrats and should be equally effective. Besides PHRC would\nhave to demonstrate whether it sees itself merely as a fire brigade or as a\npro-active institution that can meet problems upstream and Provide a vision and\nconfident. Much would depend on how it complements and fosters human rights\nactivism. \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr

Which was your first memorable creation? \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nPR. When l got married I used to paint in my leisure time.\nMy husband was an art critic and the renowned Painter of Punjab, Mr. Thakur\nSingh used to frequently visit our home. Once in a while I would show him my\nwork. Once there was a painting exhibition in Shimla and he asked me to\ncontribute something. ! painted 'Urvashi' in water colours and sent it for\ncompetition. Luckily it fetched a prize. \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nQ. Which is your favourite\u003Cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;\n\u003C\/span\u003Emedium of painting ? \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nPR. As such there are no favourites. I have worked in oil,\non canvas, charcoal, pastels, and of course, water colours. Medium has never\nrestricted me. The zest to create has been profound. I wanted to work and work\nwithout considering any commercial value'. Commercial success followed later\nautomatically. Q. You have done lot of work on Sikh religion, how do you place\nreligion in social life? PR. Religion is a way of life. lt is in the core of\nour hearts. Unfortunately, parochial outlook has distorted its real meaning.\nBasically, lam a very spiritual person and feel that the balance between mind\nand soul is as essential\u003Cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \u003C\/span\u003Efor an artist\nas for anyone else. Rather .l would say more for an artist for whom it, is\nessential to be tuned to the ,superior Being and then to create right ,from the\nheart in order to bring the creation alive. Maintaining of mental peace is\nindispensable. Mind should be in communion with the universal self -reaching\nsuch a state becomes a form of God. This communion should be always maintained.\nI have been very impressed by the Sikh gurus and have done pictorial\nbiographies of 'Guru Nanak Dev', and Guru Teg Bahadur' (forty paintings each).\nBoth sets were sold and even their reproductions have been sold. This shows how\nmuch religion means to everyone. Only we should not be rigid and impose our\nbeliefs and convictions on others. I am a member of World Conference for\nReligions of Peace. Universal religion is my religion and for my humanity is\nsupreme. There is no piquancy in any religion as such. lt is said that religion\nhas been politicised. True artist's religion is Nature. \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nQ.You have done so many portraits so would you like to be\ntermed as a portrait painter? \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nPR. Not at all! I have done portraits but I have done landscapes\nand birds with equal interest. For me painting is an expression of my,\ninnermost feelings. You can say I am a perfectionist. lf t bring life in it,\nthere should be a twinkle in the eye and blossom of life on its face. Then only\nI feel I have completed it. lam very fussy about proportions too. All the\nfeatures, be it lips, nose, ears, eyes, each angle of the figure should be in\nsymmetry. Painting beautiful faces is a pleasure but it is important to create\nbeauty out of our subjects. L once painted a mat-weaver. He was not handsome\nbut had a charm of his own and each wrinkle on his face had a story to tell.\nThe sadness on his aged face affected compassion beyond comprehension. \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Ch4 class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEg5kGRPXjumRPxYbkP_gt35hHTT9QBe0aW-i69xdKeHJdUP1fsyyOX4Sj1g1mevkuQmKb3XX2HWZd-g4Ph7qAqclIARrjtNg7WnO0KVl3uCcxhGwFvZyKP4MYHFjWBW8OSRFslGTLHzIlo\/s1600\/26b.jpg\" style=\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEg5kGRPXjumRPxYbkP_gt35hHTT9QBe0aW-i69xdKeHJdUP1fsyyOX4Sj1g1mevkuQmKb3XX2HWZd-g4Ph7qAqclIARrjtNg7WnO0KVl3uCcxhGwFvZyKP4MYHFjWBW8OSRFslGTLHzIlo\/s320\/26b.jpg\" width=\"244\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nQ.

Once allof them have so paid respect to 'Raghunathji', the'Rath' is\npulled by the devotees, with special floral ropes, to the middle of the Miadan.\nThereupon the fair is declared open. lt continues for nearly one week. This\nyear, it is likely to be organised and celebtrated from 11th October, 1997\nonwards.

They keep dancing and singing praise of\n'Raghunathji' and the respective deities and the folklore intermittently. Cultura!\ntroupe from all parts of the Pradesh come to the festival and entertain the\npeople with their choicest folk songs and dances. Though, historically,\nDussehra being celebrated annually since 1637 A.D., it has received special\nrecognition as a State fete in 1966, when the hill areas of the erstwhile\nPunjab, including Kullu, were merged with the old Himachal Union Territory to\nform 'vishal' Himacha! Pradesh. Late Thakur Devi Singh of Lahaul (an MLA in the\n'sixties' an'd later a Forest Minister in the'seventies') had strived hard to\nmake this function a global fete. The function accordingty acquired international\nstatus when a cultural troupe from Romania participated in 1973. The Russian\ntroupe started participating from 1976 onwards. The festival is also of immense\neconomic importance to the populace of Kullu and adjoining valleys.

Simultaneously one\nbuffalo, one goat, one pig, one crab, one chicken and one fish are slaughtered\nfor sacrifice.

They are respectful, even affectionate -\ntowards well-meaning outsiders, but tough towards those who take undue\nliberties. Same is true about the police as well. The Govt. of H.P. . makes elaborate\narrangements for the transport, accommodation and entertainment of the visitors\ncoming to witness the Kullu Dussehra. The requirement is met by the large\nnumber of hotels, motels and guest houses recently raised in the valley in\naddition to the old rest houses and circuit horses. \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E\nby K.L.
