According to the 2011 census, around 2.21% of its population or around 26.8 million people have disabilities of some form or the other. While the country is developing rapidly, persons with disabilities are often left out of the process. Sometimes they are completely neglected from consideration and measures do not take into account their needs by virtue of being non inclusive. On other occasions, there may be special measures for some disadvantaged groups, but persons with disabilities may not be recognised as a separate group, with distinctive needs. Overall, there is a clichéd understanding about the needs and abilities of persons with disabilities limiting efforts made towards their progress. Even in cases where some effort has been made, information about these measures is not available to persons with disabilities and their family members, who are consequently unable to avail of them. Additionally, the insensitivity of rules/ schemes/ procedures/ persons makes it difficult for persons with disabilities to benefit from them. However, regardless of the reason, the fact remains that there is a huge gap in the communication of information from policy makers, administrators and law makers to persons with disabilities as well as their family members, organisations and other concerned groups and institutions. It is extremely important to bridge this information gap in order to enable persons with disabilities to participate equally in development. Better access to information will enable them to avail of schemes/provisions for their benefit and will consequently enable governments to assess whether they have made adequate provision in various domains as well as identify gaps which need to be addressed. Finally, accessibility of information will also facilitate the participation of government and persons with disabilities in implementation of measures and increase transparency and accountability. With five years having passed since India signed and ratified the UNCRPD, the time has come to make a concerted effort to check the status of creation and implementation of relevant policies needed to give effect to the human rights of persons with disabilities. When we began researching this area, we found that hardly any information was available online and in the rare cases where it was available, it was inadequate, outdated and inaccessible. Not only was there no single source of information; there was also little information available with individual states, let alone comprehensive information on their schemes and policies. The scraps of information that were available were largely outdated and were often in different languages. In addition, whatever little information was available online was in the form of scanned images which are inaccessible to persons with disabilities or those using assistive technology. 5 As an organisation deeply committed to accessibility for persons with disabilities from its inception in 2008, CIS undertook the task of compiling a comprehensive resource on disability related policies in India and thus the ―National Compendium of policies, programmes and schemes for persons with disabilities‖ was born. Given our grounding as a research organisation deeply involved in accessibility policy research both at the national and the international level and the trust and relationship we have built with other DPOs and policy makers, we have been well placed to do this research. We have widely used RTIs to elicit information from many states, though even this route proved to be unsuccessful in some places. We are grateful to the Hans Foundation, whose financial support made it possible for us to conduct this research over the past two years and publish this book. The office of the CCPD which showed great interest in this project and enabled collaboration, acted as a great stimulus to this endeavour. We have also been very fortunate to have the help of the Centre for Law and Policy Research (CLPR) as a research partner with interest and practical experience to work on this project and who helped bring the book to fruition in a timely manner. This book will help in assessing how much attention and care has been given to disability welfare in India and highlights the fact that most of the commitments which need to be fulfilled under the UNCRPD have not been implemented by most states. The primary audience is persons with disabilities, their families and care givers and DPOs, as well as policy makers at different levels to aid in implementation. 6 Chapter 1: Andaman and Nicobar Islands Performa for information on State Government schemes for Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) 1.

I extend my thanks to Principal K.Venkataramani and Prof. Parvathi Venkatesh for their constant encouragement. I am indebted to the college and library staff for their support. My endeavour could not have been realised without the love, support and encouragement from my husband, Mr.Murli Rajan and my daughter Radhika. I am grateful to my father, Dr. G.S Chauhan for sharing his deep knowledge of Sikhism and being my guiding light. ii 1 CHAPTER - 1 INTRODUCTION Sikhism is one of the youngest among world religions. It centers on the Guru –Sikh [teacher -disciple] relationship, which is considered to be sacred. The development of Sikhism is a remarkable story of a socio- religious movement which under the leadership of ten human Gurus’ developed into a well organized force in Punjab.1Conceived in northern India, this belief system preached and propagated values of universalism, liberalism, humanism and pluralism within the context of a “medieval age.” Its teachings were “revealed’ by Guru Nanak (1469-1539 AD) who was, in turn, succeeded by nine other Gurus’.

  • Sources for the Study of Gurū Gobind Singh's Life and Times
    G.S. Mann: Sources for Study 229 Sources for the Study of Guru Gobind Singh's Life and Times Gurinder Singh Mann University of California, Santa Barbara ___________________________________________________________ This essay surveys the sites, artifacts, and literary texts associated with Guru Gobind Singh's period (1675-1708). In the process, it introduces a set of sources of information as well as attempts at reorientation of the context that produced them. In a brief conclusion, the essay highlights the need for expanding and revising the current understanding of the Guru's life. ___________________________________________________________ The present day understanding of Guru Gobind Singh's life is constructed around three landmarks: his birth in Patna in eastern India, in 1666; his creation of the Khalsa ("Community of the Pure") at Anandpur, in the Punjab hills, in 1699; and his replacement of the office of the personal Guru with the Granth, the Sikh scripture, thereby elevating it to the position of the Guru Granth ("Book manifested as the Guru") at the time of his death, in Nanderh in south India, in 1708.1 The details that fill in the forty-two years of the Guru's life are culled from a variety of texts, which begin with the Dasam Granth ("the tenth book" or "book of the tenth [Guru]"), an anthology of poetry created largely between 1685 to 1698, and Sri Gur Sobha ("Praise of the Guru"), a poetic history of the period presently dated in 1711, and include eighteenth and nineteenth century writings culminating in Giani Gian Singh's synthetic narrative, Tvarikh Guru Khalsa ("History of the Guru Community"), completed in 1891.2 (For a brief review of this chronology of events see Appendix).

FOREWORD The 300th birth anniversary ofthe Khalsa Panth will be observed all over the world in 1999. It is going to be a landmark in the history of the Khalsa Panth which had been created by Guru Gobind Singh on the Vaisakhi (30th March) ofA.D. 1699. Before his dis-appearance from the scene in 1708, Guru Gobind Singh bestowed the pontifical office on the Khalsa Panth and the Guru Granth Sahib. To be precise, it is bestowed on the Word enshrined in the Guru Granth Sahib, which comprises hymns ofthe six ofthe ten Sikh Gurus and many a saint, belonging both to the Hindu and the Islamic traditions. The Punjabi University, Patiala, proposes to bring out a series of books to mark the tricentenary of the Khalsa. The books will focus on the universal values of the Sikh faith and throw into relief its futuristic vision. Dr. Dharam Singh's Dynamics of the Social Thought of Guru Gobind Singh forms part of the project being undertaken by the University in the context ofthe tricentenary celeberations ofthe Khalsa Panth.

The very mention of Anandpur Sahib creates a thrill in the veins of a genuine Sikh, his hair begin standing on the ends, his blood begins throbbing in his biceps, and, he feels himself in unexplainable moment of bliss. Paying obeisance at Kesgarh Sahib immediately reminds of the revelation of Khalsa, the Pun} Piaray and Khandey Di Pahul. A visit to Anandgarh fort reminds of the martial music of the Chandi Di Vaar. Damalgarh becomes a living scene of Sahibzadas learning sword wielding. Thara Sahib seems to be receiving Bhai Kirpa Ram (Singh) Dutt and 16 Brahmins from Kashmir.
