Politics of Genocide
I THE BACKGROUND 2 1 WHY PUNJAB? Exit British, Enter Congress In 1849 the Sikh empire fell to the British army; it was the last of their conquests. Nearly a hundred years later when the British were about to relinquish India they were negotiating with three parties; namely the Congress Party largely supported by Hindus, the Muslim League representing the Muslims and the Akali Dal representing the Sikhs. Before 1849, the Satluj was the boundary between the kingdom of Maharaja Ranjit Singh and other Sikh states, such as Patiala (the largest and most influential), Nabha and Jind, Kapurthala, Faridkot, Kulcheter, Kalsia, Buria, Malerkotla (a Muslim state under Sikh protection). Territory under Sikh rulers stretched from the Peshawar to the Jamuna. Those below the Satluj were known as the Cis-Satluj states. 3 In these pre-independence negotiations, the Akalis, led by Master Tara Singh, represented the Sikhs residing in the territory which had once been Ranjit Singh’s kingdom; Yadavindra Singh, Maharaja of Patiala, spoke for the Cis- Satluj states. Because the Sikh population was thinly dispersed all over these areas, the Sikhs felt it was not possible to carve out an entirely separate Sikh state and had allied themselves with the Congress whose policy proclaimed its commitment to the concept of unilingual states with a federal structure and assured the Sikhs that “no future Constitution would be acceptable to the Congress that did not give full satisfaction to the Sikhs.” Gandhi supplemented this assurance by saying: “I ask you to accept my word and the resolution of the Congress that it will not betray a single individual, much less a community .. -

Amritsar Shri Guru Nanak Dev Life, Travels and Teachings by Dr. G.S. Chauhan Dr. Meenakshi Rajan © Writer March : 2012 ISBN: 978-81-923150-1-0 Publisher : Dr. Inderjit Kaur President All India Pingalwara Charitable Society (Regd.) Amritsar Printed at: Printwell 146, Industrial Focal Point, Amritsar Dedication This Humble effort to describe Shri Guru Nanak Dev's Life, Travels and Teachings is dedicated to the great saint of twentieth century, Bhagat Puran Singh, founder of All India Pingalwara Charitable Society (Regd.) 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. -

The Navigability of Strong Ties: Small Worlds, Tie Strength and Network Topology Douglas R. White and Michael Houseman for Complexity 8 (1): 72-81 , Special Issue on Networks and Complexity (draft 1.4). Sept. 6/2002 We examine data on and models of small world properties and parameters of social networks. Our focus, on tie-strength, multilevel networks and searchability in strong-tie social networks, allows us to extend some of the questions and findings of recent research and the fit of small world models to sociological and anthropological data on human communities. We offer a ‘navigability of strong ties’ hypothesis about network topologies tested with data from kinship systems, but potentially applicable to corporate cultures and business networks. -

Form and Function of Complex Networks

Copyright c 2004 Petter Holme ° ISBN 91-7305-629-4 Printed by Print & Media, Umeå 2004 Abstract etworks are all around us, all the time. From the biochemistry of our cells to the web of friendships across the planet. From the circuitry Nof modern electronics to chains of historical events. A network is the result of the forces that shaped it. Thus the principles of network formation can be, to some extent, deciphered from the network itself. All such informa- tion comprises the structure of the network. The study of network structure is the core of modern network science. This thesis centres around three as- pects of network structure: What kinds of network structures are there and how can they be measured? How can we build models for network formation that give the structure of networks in the real world? How does the network structure affect dynamical systems confined to the networks? These questions are discussed using a variety of statistical, analytical and modelling techniques developed by physicists, mathematicians, biologists, chemists, psychologists, sociologists and anthropologists. -
FOREWORD the Need to Prepare a Clear and Comprehensive Document
FOREWORD The need to prepare a clear and comprehensive document on the Punjab problem has been felt by the Sikh community for a very long time. With the release of this White Paper, the S.G.P.C. has fulfilled this long-felt need of the community. It takes cognisance of all aspects of the problem-historical, socio-economic, political and ideological. The approach of the Indian Government has been too partisan and negative to take into account a complete perspective of the multidimensional problem. The government White Paper focusses only on the law and order aspect, deliberately ignoring a careful examination of the issues and processes that have compounded the problem. The state, with its aggressive publicity organs, has often, tried to conceal the basic facts and withhold the genocide of the Sikhs conducted in Punjab in the name of restoring peace. Operation Black Out, conducted in full collaboration with the media, has often led to the circulation of one-sided versions of the problem, adding to the poignancy of the plight of the Sikhs. Record has to be put straight for people and posterity. But it requires volumes to make a full disclosure of the long history of betrayal, discrimination, political trickery, murky intrigues, phoney negotiations and repression which has led to blood and tears, trauma and torture for the Sikhs over the past five decades. Moreover, it is not possible to gather full information, without access to government records. This document has been prepared on the basis of available evidence to awaken the voices of all those who love justice to the understanding of the Sikh point of view. -

Lohri Ayee Rey
' Making Byomkesh was my ...Page-44 SUNDAY, JANUARY 11, 2015 INTERNET EDITION : www.dailyexcelsior.com/magazine Akademi Awardees ....Page-33 LOHRI AYEE REY... Lalit Gupta Coming at the height of winter and ushering new foods and fruits of the season, the festival of Lohri has its roots in age old folk religion in which respect to the seasons and the natural elements of fire, wind, water and the earth is very important. Falling on January 13 this year, Lohri heralds the waning of winter and beginning of summer. This traditional belief is rooted in the scientific fact as geographically speaking the earth leans towards the sun along the Tropic of Capricorn (Makara Rekha) from the day following Lohri, also known as Winter Solstice. The earth, farthest from the sun at this point of time, starts its journey towards the sun along its elliptical orbit, thus heralding in the onset of spring. Marking the end of winter on the last day of Paush and beginning of Magha (around January 12 and 13) when the sun changes its course, Lohri is associated with the worship of the sun and fire and is observed by all communities. It is this transition which is celebrated as Lohri in northern India, Makara Sankranti in the central part of the country and as Bhogi in Andhra Pradesh, Bihu in Assam and Pongal-Sankranti in South India. Legend of Lohri There are various interesting folk stories and legends associated with this festival. One such legend popular in Punjab and Jammu is recapped in folk songs that relate to Dulla Bhatti, who lived in Punjab during the reign of Akbar. -
