#Thread#StopTargettingSikhYouth
1. Recent arrests of 2 Sikh youth, & mother of one, is not an isolated case.
2. These arrests are part of a series.
3. Many young Sikhs from Punjab are put behind the bars in recent years on similar allegations, some on even serious allegations.
4. They all were arrested for allegedly supporting or propagating a non-recognised, non-binding online voting campaign.
5. Notably, that campaign is being run by those who are active openly in USA.
7. India says that this campaign is a very serious matter for it, but still it is keeping its diplomatic ties with the USA in a usual manner.
8. It shows that in reality GoI does not take this campaign that much seriously, otherwise it might have pressed USA on this issue.

#GroundWater Crisis in #Punjab

ਅੱਜ ਤੋਂ ਕੁਝ ਦਹਾਕੇ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਜਦੋਂ ਇਹ ਗੱਲ ਕਹੀ ਜਾਂਦੀ ਸੀ ਕਿ ਜਿਸ ਹਿਸਾਬ ਨਾਲ ਅਸੀਂ ਪੰਜਾਬ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਜ਼ਮੀਨੀ ਪਾਣੀ ਕੱਢ ਰਹੇ ਹਾਂ ਉਸ ਹਿਸਾਬ ਨਾਲ ਪੰਜਾਬ ਦਾ ਜ਼ਮੀਨੀ ਪਾਣੀ ਮੁੱਕ ਜਾਵੇਗਾ ਤਾਂ ਬਹੁਤੇ ਲੋਕ ਇਹ ਕਹਿ ਦਿੰਦੇ ਸਨ ਕਿ ਇਹ ਐਵੇਂ ਬੱਸ ਗੱਲਾਂ ਨੇ, ਜ਼ਮੀਨ ਵਿਚੋਂ ਵੀ ਪਾਣੀ ਕਦੇ ਮੁੱਕਿਐ?
ਪਰ ਹੁਣ ਬਹੁਤੇ ਲੋਕ ਇਹ ਗੱਲ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਹਿੰਦੇ ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਜਿਸ ਰਫਤਾਰ ਨਾਲ ਪੰਜਾਬ ਵਿੱਚ ਜ਼ਮੀਨੀ ਪਾਣੀ ਦਾ ਪੱਧਰ ਹੇਠਾਂ ਜਾ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ ਉਸ ਦਾ ਅਸਰ ਹੁਣ ਸਧਾਰਨ ਸਮਝ ਵਾਲਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਵੀ ਸਾਫ ਦਿਖ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ।
ਇਸ ਵਾਰ ਬਰਸਾਤ ਤੋਂ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਕੁਝ ਦਿਨ ਹੀ ਔੜ ਦੇ ਰਹੇ ਤਾਂ ਲੋਕਾਈ ਚ ਹਾਹਾਕਾਰ ਮੱਚ ਗਈ। ਪਰ ਹੁਣ ਬਰਸਾਤ ਸ਼ੁਰੂ ਹੋ ਗਈ ਹੈ ਤੇ ਬਿਜਲੀ ਦੀ ਸਮੱਸਿਆ ਦਾ ਹੱਲ ਹੋ ਜਾਵੇਗਾ ਤੇ ਅਸੀਂ ਫਿਰ ਸਭ ਕੁਝ ਭੁੱਲ-ਭੁਲਾ ਜਾਵਾਂਗੇ।

Thread — ਨਿਸ਼ਾਨ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਪੰਥ ਦਾ ਹੈ ਗੁਰੂ ਕਲਗੀਧਰ ਪਾਤਸ਼ਾਹ ਨੇ ਦੁਨਿਆਵੀ ਸ਼ਾਨ ਦੇ ਰੂਹਾਨੀ ਪ੍ਰਤੀਕ ਵਜੋਂ ਨਿਸ਼ਾਨ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ ਜੀ ਨੂੰ ਬਖਸ਼ਿਸ਼ ਕੀਤਾ ਹੈ।
ਨਿਸ਼ਾਨ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਨਾਲ ਇਤਿਹਾਸ, ਮਰਿਆਦਾ ਅਤੇ ਵਿਧੀ ਵਿਧਾਨ ਦਾ ਇੱਕ ਵੱਡਾ ਪਾਸਾਰ ਜੁੜਿਆ ਹੈ। ਜੰਗ ਵਿਚ ਨਿਸ਼ਾਨ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਲਈ ਇਕ ਸਿੰਘ ਨਿਯਤ ਕੀਤਾ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਸੀ ਜਦੋਂ ਖਾਲਸੇ ਦੀ ਗਿਣਤੀ ਥੋੜੀ ਰਹਿ ਗਈ ਤਾਂ ਦਸਤਾਰ ਦੇ ਫਰਲੇ ਨੂੰ ਵੀ ਨਿਸ਼ਾਨ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਦੀ ਥਾਂ ਮੰਨਿਆ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਰਿਹਾ।
ਫਰਲਾ ਦਲ ਦੇ ਜਥੇਦਾਰ ਵਲੋਂ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਸੀ ਅਤੇ ਹੈ ਪਰ ਨਾਲ ਕਾਬਲੀਅਤ ਅਤੇ ਗੁਣ ਦੀ ਪਰਖ ਵੀ ਜੁੜੀ ਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ ਜਿਸ ਉਪਰੰਤ ਫਰਲਾ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ।
