For those in the States: Khalsa Ji, At present, the Sherman-Honda Resolution, which calls on France to abandon its ban on religious articles of faith, has no cosponsors in the House of Representatives. It is our belief that in order to gain cosponsors, we need an on the ground presence in Washington to request members of Congress to sponsor the resolution. Accordingly, on March 3, 4, and 10, Coalition volunteers will walk the halls of Congress to request members to sponsor the resolution. Ongoing activism regarding the French ban issue is essential because Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands are considering enacting similar bans. We need to show France, as well as …

Khalra lost her husband, Jaswant Singh Khalra, another towering human rights activist, who was killed at the hands of the Punjab police in 1995. This was her second visit to Canada since 2005. Khalra has visited a number of Sikh temples in B.C., Alberta, and Ontario, and spoke a week ago at a parade organized by the Gurdwara Kalgidhar Darbar in Abbotsford. She also met some elected officials in these provinces. Her visi…

Yeah Dhadi and Kaweshria are known for joking around now and then. -
Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
