A history department would be established at the Sikh University at Fatehgrah Sahib for the task, SGPC chief Avtar Singh Makkar told a new conference here.

Some writers and scholars were raising controversies and spreading negative publicity about the Sikh history, he said.

To put to rest such doubts, the SGPC, the apex religious body, would set up a department for reviewing and rewriting the history penned by Sikh and English scholars, Makkar said.

On the "siropa" (robe of honour) presented to former Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh during his visit to the Golden Temple yesterday, Makkar said he had sought a report in this regard from the SGPC Secretary. ***

Leaving all the garble aside, the most interesting part was the giving away of Siropao to Capt. Amrinder Singh, does it show chinks in the empire of SGPC?

It is good that someone cares enough about me and my fragile munn to take action and resolve my doubts.

I did not know that anyone cared that much.

. There is nothing more tranquil than a mind rid of doubt.

What can I say? I too am speechless.

Now in all seriousness, and no kidding around, this project falls outside of the jurisdiction of the SGPC according to the India Gurdwara Act.

In all seriousness, about 90% of what SGPC does falls outside of the jurisdiction of the SGPC according to the India Gurdwara Act. SGPC is just another branch of the Badalistan Cabal.

I'm not sure what a gija is, but if it concerns Makkar (and therefore Badal), it's worse than just fishy; it's week dead fishy. Have you ever smelled week dead fish?

Gija sounds like doing something right under the nose of someone...

Gija is the side pocket of Kurta / Shirt - i believe writer means - Makkar will make profit out of this whole thing.
