General Universal Sikh Law

[spnadmin]

This was called to my attention by Mai Harinder Kaur ji. We don't know what to make of it. The merits and demerits of this proposal are a point of debate.

Universal Sikh Law, For Truthful living, A law for every Sikh. Personal Rights, Responsibilities and Restraints.
