By Rammana Prince Salim (Jahangir) was bigot from the get go and relied on foreigners. This is how the foreign faction got started consolidating to the exclusion of local Hindu rulers and thus became more and more isolated as a armed camp (horde) surrounded by a Hindu sea. Exactly!! Jahangir was bi...

but how feasible is it to combine a bit of machinery with a lot of labour to process, say, Theo's pineaapples ? Why would you invest in a complicated machinery when you can hire cheaply whole families for unskilled labour work? Problem is overpopulation.. A single person takes care of 1000 acres in...

Sandeep, does Dixie Gurudwara have any special relationship with Damdami taksal ?? NO! not like the days of 1980s! Damdami Taksal at Chowk Mehta is not involved in active politics anymore (does not look like from media). They are mostly trainers of Granthis (Sikh history how to read and sing bani)....

And ofcourse there is no control by Govt over Sikh religious institutions. It is self managed. Sandee...

Sikh perspective about Meat vs Vegetarian. Many Sikh gurus ate meat. Sikhs have a Rahit Maryada that is approved by Akal Takht. Akal Takht Jathedar is elected unanimously by a Sarbatt Khalsa (all Khalsa). Rahit Maryada was first started by Sri Guru Gobind Singh in 1699 when Khalsa was created. He fo...

Rony, Here is what I meant by Dharm Yuddh.

I do believe economies of scale apply to cities as well. The small medium cities in the US are in a fight for survival as the best continue to leave for the big cities.

Instead of building bypasses, flyovers and MRTS in cities., focus should be on de-congesting the big cities by shifting the industries (especially upcoming which don't require much effort) into the hinterland. 1.
