The central gov. has made several atempts to communicate with the sikhs
but the main problem is that there is no one leader among the sikh community.
They are themselves divided over the issue of khalistan. So which group 
of sikhs should the Govt. listen to ? If it satisfies the demands of one 
fraction, it makes another fraction unhappy. Let the sikhs first claim 
unity in what they want and only then is any meaningful discussion possible.

An Indian (fit in your favorite ethnic character here) goes to the library
in search of a book to study for his English exam the next day. He
forgets the title of the book on the way. He tells the librarian, "I can't
seem to remember the title of the book but it translates into Hindi something
like - Maimney ki poonch sey hilti huyi naashpaati". The erudite librarian
imeediately goes inside and fetches the book titled LAMB'S TALES OF

The heaviest known element known to Science has been identified in India.
Tentatively named "Administratium", it has no protons or electrons and hence,
has an atomic number zero. However, it does have 1 neutron, 126 assistant
neutrons, 75 vice-neutrons and 111 assistant vice-neutrons. This gives it
an atomic mass of 312 .These 312 Hadrons are held together in the nucleus
by exchange of meson-like force particles called "morons".

Since Administratium has no electrons, it is always inert. However, it can be
detected chemically as it impedes every reaction it comes in contact with.
A minute amount of Administratium caused one reaction to be completed in
4 days when it would normally occur in a couple of minutes.

Administratium has a normal life of about 3 years, at which time, it does
not actually decay but instead, undergoes a transformation. In this
reorganization,the assistant neutrons, vice-neutrons and assistant vice-neutrons exchange places. Studies indicate that this actually leads to an increase in
the atomic mass number

Administratium occurs naturally in India and tends to concentrate at certain
points such as government agencies, large universities, corporations, etc and
can be actually seen in the newest and best maintained buildings.

Administratium is known to be toxic at any level of concentration.When allowed
to accumulate, it can destroy any productive reaction. Attempts are being
made to determine how Administratium can be controlled to prevent irreversible
damage but the preliminary results are not good. A high level committee
consisting of 1 director, 72 scientists, 97 assistant scientists and 23 
technical assistants is currently studying this problem.......

  Interesting analogy referring to a nation as a living man with human
parts.  Then I find it fair to assume that this nation's "hands" were the
Sikhs always eager to feed and protect it (Punjab being the bread-basket
of India, and the large portion of Sikhs in the army who NEVER let it 
down in times of war).  But this so called 'body' was not interested in
taking care of it's hands and in a cunning blackmail move tied the hands;
and now these hands who would rather be SEVERED than have any further
connection with the body are trying to set themselves free but are being 
trampled upon by the feet!

Hi dears 
I was one of the readers to read the mail of Mr.Harpreet.

Looks like that he is not concerned about the death of sikhs or any person
but he wants to cook his bread on the dead bodies of .... by suggesting
a solution like marrying to Priyanka Gandhi.

This is what is happening in Punjab.  Every politicians including Akalies
are more concerned about their own personal interests than the problem itself
even in the terrorists, most of the peolpe are more concerned about making
money and building their own house and farms.
Khalistan has become a secondary issue and prehaps at this time only 
.0000.....00001% people are their who realy have a cause for fight

other are just grinding their own axes

At this time prehaps we should come out with some good solution and not
make fun of the sahidies of both hindus and sikhs from a long time

  This was definitely quite interesting.  I was brought up in exactly
the same situation, except in Delhi.  Unfortunately, in Delhi, the
"madrasi" gets corrupted even more often to "M'rassi", which does
not even make sense.  To this day, I am a lot more comfortable in
Hindi than in Kannada, have never lived anywhere in Karnataka (or even
the south) throughout my life, can understand Urdu and Punjabi a lot 
better than Kannada (even the literary variety), but I am still a 
"Southie".   This was even more bizarre because although my dad has
been in Delhi for "only" 35 odd years, my mom was practically born
and brought up there !!
   Not that I considered being called Southie an insult, but the 
necessity for it seemed so utterly pointless.  The folks down south were
oh-so condescending, explaining everything to the poor stranger from up
North, and folks up North do the same for this poor migrant from down 
South.  I haven't had a chance at East or West, though I suspect it 
won't be much different.  It is much like being complemented in this 
country on the ability to speak English.  You couldn't make people 
undestand that being a "Southie" in the North was neither a complement 
to them or their region, nor was it an insult to you, it was simply 
irrelevant.

Can any Sikh guarantee that innocent bystanders (Hindus and Sikhs) will
no longer be bombed or sprayed with bullets ? If you cannot guarantee
Indians their basic right to life then what right do you have to stop
us from achieving our goal of a unified India.  

FYI - the senseless killings of innocent people in Punjab started way 
before (infact years before) operation bluestar was even conceived. 
While I do not condone the 84 masssacre, you can be sure that another 
such senseless rampage is wholly possible if the terrorists continue
to go on killing innocents. 

As per present reports, terrorism in punjab is showing a slight decline
and god willing it will continue to do so. Then people like you can 
scream themselves as hoarse as you wish while the rest live in peace.
