McCarthy, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2013 Copyright © by Rory G. McCarthy 2013 iii THE SIKH DIASPORA IN AUSTRALIA: MIGRATION, MULTICULTURALISM AND THE IMAGINING OF HOME Rory G. McCarthy, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2013 When studying a diasporic population, understanding the relationship between dispersed peoples and their cultural homelands can be instructive. Scholars of diaspora have long understood that a relationship exists between a diaspora, and its place of origin. This dissertation approaches the question of connections between population and homeland from a perspective of emotion and nostalgia, asking how differing generations of Sikhs living in Australia think, talk and feel about their cultural homeland of Punjab. These connections to Punjab are filtered through shifting discourse on immigration and ideas of belonging that exist in Australia. Ethnographic research was conducted in Woolgoolga, New South Wales, Australia, over a period of nine months. Family migration narratives were collected from Sikhs living there, who were divided into two age groups- those 35 years of age and under, and those between the ages of 36 and 55. The purpose of this division is to replicate approximate generations of Sikhs, for the comparison of attitudes and experiences with Punjab. Informal and semi-structured interviews were conducted, and participant observation was done at Woolgoolga’s two Sikh gurdwaras, at meetings held during the organizational phase of a major Indian cultural festival, and at various activities and events held in town throughout the course of the field stay. Data collected shows that there is generational variation in the degree of emotional attachment to Punjab as a perceived cultural homeland. At the same time, there is generational difference in the understanding of recent political history in Punjab, and Sikh struggles for an independent state of iv Khalistan. Where older generations of Sikhs hold a much stronger connection to Punjab at the level of emotion and nostalgia, they tend to be more critical of the idea of an independent Sikh state. Conversely, younger generations of Sikhs demonstrate much less emotional connection to Punjab, and have little knowledge about the independence movement for Khalistan. Those who are familiar with the Khalistani movement have romanticized notions about the struggle, and are more likely to support claims that Sikhs are mistreated in India, and require their own state.

Amritsar. It was due to his blessings when I met him in July 1991 that an ignorant person like me could study and understand Gurbani and write about the Guru' teachings. Bhagat Puran Singh was a great soul and even now, he guides and removes suffering of those who help his mission of running Pingalwara. I have seen that in many cases, when some people sent donations with full faith, their diseases were cured and problems solved.

Department of Asia" SJ-ndUS The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada DE-6 (2/88) Abstract: The janamsakhis are a Sikh literary tradition, which consist of hagiographies concerning Guru Nanak's life and teachings. Although the janamsakhis are not reliable historical sources concerning the life of Guru Nanak, they are beneficial in imparting knowledge upon the time period in which they developed. The representation of women within these sakhis can give us an indication of the general views of women of the time. A lack of representation of women within the janamsakhi supports the argument that women have traditionally been assigned a subordinate role within patriarchal society.

    Australians at War Film Archive James Cruickshank (Jim) - Transcript of interview Date of interview: 3rd October 2003 http://australiansatwarfilmarchive.unsw.edu.au/archive/770 Tape 1 00:43 Well, I was baptised Andrew James Cruickshank, born on the 24th of March 1929, in Glasgow, Scotland, where my father at the time was a policeman with the northern division of the Glasgow Police Force. And I was 01:00 born at Mary Hill, which was not then a very salubrious suburb, but presently is. What else do you want me to say? What are your earliest memories of childhood and growing up there? Well my earliest memories of childhood in Mary Hill were of sheer tenement buildings really, and Glasgow in those days was a rather smoky, dirty place – I thought anyway – 01:30 and one of my earliest memories in Mary Hill is being taken shopping by my mother, and seeing a person on a motorbike knocked down and killed. Mum was very keen to shepherd me away from that, but I had a good look anyway. But we were there for – I suppose – two or three, no four years in all. There were two other siblings born in Mary Hill, and then we shifted to another side of Glasgow, to a place called 02:00 Carntyne where my father had been shifted in the police force, and that’s where I started school at the age of four. What did you think of school? Oh, I thought it was great then, yeah. I recollect being taken by an older girl.

The Special Rapporteur had planned a two-week visit to Australia from 27 September to 9 October 2015 to gather information about the situation of migrants and asylum seekers in Australia and neighbouring detention centres.1 The visit was postponed due to the ‘lack of full cooperation from the Government regarding protection concerns and access to detention centres’.2 The paper provides an overview of xenophobic acts towards migrants in Australia, laws prohibiting racial discrimination and vilification and programs initiated in Australia to address hate speech.

  • Mapping the 'Khalistan' Movement, 1930-1947: an Overview
    Journal of the Research Society of Pakistan Volume No. 55, Issue No. 1(January - June, 2018) Samina Iqbal * Rukhsana Yasmeen** Kalsoom Hanif *** Ghulam Shabir **** Mapping the ‘Khalistan’ Movement, 1930-1947: An overview Abstract This study attempts to understand the struggle of the Sikhs of the Punjab, during the colonial period (1930-1947), for their separate home-land- Khalistan, which to date have been an unfinished agenda. They still feel they have missed the train by joining hands with the Congress Party. There is strong feeling sometime it comes out in shape of upsurge of freedom of moments in the East Punjab. Therefore it is important to understand what was common understanding of the Sikh about the freedom struggle and how they reacted to national movements and why they filed to achieve a separate homeland-Khalistan. The problem is that the Sikh demands have so been ignored by the British government of India and His Majesty’s Government in England. These demands were also were not given proper attention by the Government of Punjab, Muslim leadership and Congress. Although the Sikhs had a voice in the politics and economic spheres their numerical distribution in the Punjab meant that they were concerted in any particular areas. Therefore they remained a minority and could only achieve a small voting strength under separate electorates. The other significant factor working against the Sikh community was that the leadership representing was factionalized and disunited, thus leading to a lack of united representation during the freedom struggle and thus their demand for the creation of a Sikh state could not become a force to reckon.
