The aim of the Shining path is to promote Sikhi to this generation. It aims to share the beauty of Sikhism with others. It is purposely written and presented for the youth. Our hope is that this publication will offer Sikh youngsters the opportunity to voice their opinions and concerns on issues which relate to them. The newsletter will always promote the importance of the Guru Granth Sahib and Guru Khalsa Panth. 26th Jan 99 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

*SINGHNIAN.* BIBI BALBIR KAUR. On September 14th 1923, Mr Johnstone Wilson, on behalf of the British Government, interfered with the Akhand Part at Jaito. The Sikhs did not tolerate this insult and marched to Jaito in batches of 500. Some batches were arrested and beaten up but this did not dampen the spirit of the protestors. On Feb. 21st 1924 the Government resorted to firing.In one of these batches protesting on Feb 21st was Bibi Balbir Kaur with her infant child in her arms. The child was hit by a bullet. Bibi Balbir Kaur resignedly laid her child on the road and kept marching with the column singing the Guru's hymns.Soon, however, she fell to a shot from the machine gun. On that fateful day 100 Sikhs were killed and nearly 300 were wounded. Pandit Nehru came to watch the atrocities. He was immediately arrested and imprisoned.The stuggle ended a year later on July 21, 1925 when the Government at last agreed to allow the Sikhs to hold their Akhand Part at Jaito. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| �What the Kara means to me... ? ? The Kara is the most popular Kakkar worn by Sikhs. Whether you are baptised or not, more than likely you will be wearing a Kara. For many, its the sole symbol of their faith that is on their person. Many wear the Kara using it as their only form of Sikh identification. However, what is the purpose of the Kara?What does it mean to you? We asked a few Panjabi school students what their views were - and here are the results. |If you're about to steal something, the hope is that you see your Kara and that reminds you that you must not steal, and stops you. It should also remind you that God has no end - he/she is infinite (like a circle) Harleen Singh (Iver, U.K.) |I wear a Kara because it makes me proud to be a Sikh. But it shouldn't stop there. We all should try to be good Sikhs inside - not just wear the outside symbols. I think this is harder to do, but its very important to try. Kamaldeep and Jasdeep (Slough, U.K.) |I think for Sikh girls it is the only thing that shows people who don't know me that I'm not a Muslim or Hindu, but a Sikh. It is one of the 5 K's, and all Sikhs should wear it and be proud of what they are. Harvinder Kaur (Slough) |I don't wear it all the time because I'm afraid it will go rusty. But when I do wear it, it makes me think of God. Tasmin Kaur(Southall, U.K.) |I wish I could wear my Kara when I do gymnastics. Some people say you can put a sweatband around it, but our school doesn't let us do that. I don't understand why some people wear gold Karas, as they are meant to be iron. I think its probably to show off, which is pretty sad! Harleen Kaur (Southall) � ��
