[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 155577, member: 138"] Gyani ji, Guru Fateh. You are right. No one addressed Mastar Tara Singh with his surname. No one cared about that because despite any shortcomings, that all of us have, he was the first and great Sikh leader during that time, despite the fact he was born in a Hindu family. Dilgeer ji, Guru Fateh. I beg to disagree with you about Bhappas and Jatts. The fact is that majority of the Jatts at that time stayed in Pakistan and became Muslims. That is why you will see Muslim, Cheema, Gills etc etc in Pakistan. At that time this was not the case. FYI, Maliks are Bhappas and they were in forefront to solve this issue and fought for their country. In fact Pita ji, Dr. Balwant Singh Malik who was a doctor and a lawyer by profession left his practice and entered the fight to get the Gurdwaras back from the Masands and spent sometime behind bars. Talking about Simranjit Singh Mann, here is an older thread about him. [URL]http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/sikh-news/24098-radical-sikh-leader-demands-buffer-state.html[/URL] Simranjit Singh Mann was a good person and a great Sikh. Once upon a time, he was stationed as DIG of police in Ferozepore and befriended my family and became very close. I have never met him in person. Only heard of him through my older brother Harsimran who was a buddy of his.I was living in the UK then. He was a devout Sikh and had a mirror in his office. The reason for the mirror was that any Sipahi who was a Sikh but had a trimmed beard was encouraged in a coercive way to change his style and he was quite successful in that. He helped a lot of people during his tenure there. His downfall started when he was the only Sikh elected as the MP and he refused to enter the Parliament without his 3 ft kirpan which I thought was more an arrogant part of Me-ism on his part rather than taking the best of his opportunity to become the spokesperson of the Sikhs. As he refused to leave his 3 ft Kirpan, he also lost the opportunity to travel in the capacity of MP abroad and tell the world the atrocities committed on the minority Sikhs and on Punjab by the Central Govt. From there on it was all downhill for him from all aspects. For me buffer zone is like building your own cocoon and we all know that we can only hear our own voices of " freedom" echoing in our own ears when we confine ourselves in our self made prisons. Freedom is not attained by any kind of walls, how imaginary they may be, and without freedom there can never be progress. The only long term solution for Punjab is when ALL the corrupt members of the Govt are put behind bars and some kind of bill should be passed where there can not be any political interference with the SGPC and SGPC should be managed by the educated managers, not by those whose only qualifications are the lengths of their beards and pugs. Once we step into the sarover of Gurmat pragmatism rather than living in the muck of manmat as we have for this long, hence falsely hoping to become lotus flowers one day, then only can we start having a Govt that can lead its people to the life of Miri- Piri, which will result in progress from all facets of life.
