Sikh Coalition need your help, re: Sikhs serving in the US army

sikhwithin — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 17:17:56 +0000

August 3, 2009 (Washington, D.C.) – Thirty-Six members of Congress have joined together to send a letter to the Department of Defense on behalf of Sikh soldiers. But in order for the letter to be effective, it needs to have no less than 50 signatories. We are asking every Sikh around the country to please approach your Congress person – via email, phone or in person – to ask them to sign on immediately.

We cannot do this without your help. The list on the right includes the names of every Congress member who has already signed on. Do you see your representative’s name on this list? If not, please reach out to your congress person and urge them to sign on!

The Strategy

The Sikh Coalition and the law firm of McDermott Will & Emery are jointly representing Captain Kamaljeet Singh Kalsi and Captain Tejdeep Singh Rattan. Both men were recruited as part of an Army program that pays for medical education in return for military service. At the time of their enrollment, military recruiters assured both men that their turbans and unshorn hair “would not be a problem.” Though both have maintained their Sikh identity throughout graduate school, the Army is now telling them that they will have to forsake their religious practices to serve.

It has been a while since the last update.

The Sikhwithin Project is still alive!
Currently, 2 new shows are being planned for release before the end of 2008 – as a holiday giveaway.

As we build up our programmes for the next season of broadcasts, I thought that the following would be useful for iphone users. If you do not have an iphone, you can still use Apple’s wonderful interface online, simply click on the image or links below:

Site Upgrade

My thanks to one of the staff at Knowledge Hemispheres who has helped to upgrade the site.
As you can see we’ve got a new look and easy access to features.

My plan is now to develop lots of shows in advance so that I do not fall behind with their scheduled release.

In addition, I’ve been thinking about the format too.
Currently, the show has up to five segments:

Understanding Sikhism
Shabad Translation
Resource Review
Outside Broadcast
Inspirational Words and Songs

The new shows will be shorter and hopefully more frequent.

The following format is planned:

Aspects of Sikhism
Shabad Translation
Inspirational thoughts, words and songs

On occasions I could issue special shows with interviews and recordings of Sikh events.

Let me know what you think.

Best Regards
