Why has AamAadmi Party(AAP) chosen to target corrup-tion - political corruption to be precise,as its main platform or the initial purpose ofits existence? Why does thisnew party be-lieve it can gainpublic support by cam-paigning on a single issue? Don’t

we always pay for whatever we choose to buy in the market place?We may grumble that the price is too high, but we pay for everythingwe bring home. When we find the price of a commodity in themarket too high, we have an option - to buy or not to buy. Then, whysuch a furore over paying for the services one receives in variousgovernment offices and giving it an unlawful and unacceptably uglyname of ‘corruption’? There are several reasons for this.

For starters, let’s assume that we hire a ‘driver’ and pay himagreed upon, industry standard wages and benefits - on time.How would we react if we ask the driver to take us to a doctor’soffice or a hospital,and the driver refused to take us there until wepaid him extra, unaccounted for money, over and above the agreedsalary amount? Perhaps, we would be doubly angry, if our driverdenied us the right to sit in our own car, until we paid him thedemanded extra money, in advance.

Stretching the argument further, how would we react, if the driverdeclared that he would take us to the doctor’s office, only when hefelt convenient – not when we needed to be there? What, if hechose to open himself to competitive bids and offered to serve thehighest paying bidder first, and in that order?

What, if in a different scenario, he was in a position of govern-mental authority and able to increase your benefits or reduce yourcosts substantially, and offered to do so, provided you shared yourbenefits with him? Benefits flowing to you could be monetary, so-cial, judicial, professional, occupational, reputational, physical, orin any other form that could, for the subject transaction, be easilymonetized. People familiar with India would agree that this hap-pens all the time in India’s government offices.

Pictured above is a brief glimpse of the various forms of ‘corrup-tion’ that confronts an average Indian on a daily basis. In manysituations, the person seeking such services has no choice but tocomply with the wishes of the person in authority. The form of pay-ment can assume any imaginable shape or form.

During a public interview, a leader of ‘Amnesty International’ - arenowned Human Rights organization, stated, that the primaryobjective of his esteemed global organization was, to ‘Stop theabuse of power, by those, in power’. These are very powerful wordsthat need to be clearly understood by all of us.

By hiring a driver, we place him in a position of trust and give himcertain amount of power. By choosing to abuse that position orpower and breaching our trust, he can make us a victim of thecircumstances. The more we depend on his services, the morevulnerable we are to his victimization. We could end being his

victims, by hiring a different driver, or better; bylearning to drive. However, such simple reme-

dial solutions are not always available or we may notbe able to implement the same.

Government offi- cials, police officers, judges,customs inspectors,

healthcare workers, bank em-ployees, teachers, licensing or en-

forcement officers, grants or benefits administra-tors, media personnel, legislators and taxation officials are someof the people in positions of authority that we need to deal withconstantly. We do not,usually, have the authority to remove themfrom their positions and replace them with more honest, caringand compassionate individuals. To be effective and successful,the checks and balances safeguards also require people that arehonest and less likely to succumb tomaterial or social tempta-tions. In other words, for the public systems to work and serve thepeople intended to be served, we need honest and sincere people,who care. ‘Corruption’ is just the opposite of this desirable state ofpublic systems, institutions and functions.

We frame rules and regulations to enable smooth ongoingoperation in any organization. We also hire people to operate thesystems to help people and to make necessary decisions wher-ever so required. Such ‘decision making’ authority bestowed uponour hired employees, gives them the ‘power’ that is often abusedto the detriment of the dependent public and the organization. If‘power corrupts, and the absolute power, corrupts absolutely’, pub-lic members’ victimization and vulnerability seems directly propor-tional to the power bestowed upon the officials, who are our em-ployees.

If such officials, elected or otherwise, are also granted the pow-ers to enact new laws and measures, or interpret the laws; thepotential of abuse of such powers, knows no bounds. After nearlyseven decades of rule by the same legislative and executive es-tablishment, the moral and ethical decay in India’s administrationis pretty close to being ‘absolute’.

Whether it isthe delays or the denial of proper information orservices,functional inefficiencies, qualitative deficiencies, harass-ment of needy public members or exploitation of the desperatelyneedy - when we examine these in detail, these all lead to oneform or the other, of all pervasive corruption. An old-timer was ad-vising a young one in the family to refrain from taking bribes, as hecould get caught; the young person replied nonchalantly, ‘don’tworry I’ll bribe my way out to freedom’.

While the quest to end corruption may seem too simplistic anapproach to deal with a myriad of problems affecting the society,governance, healthcare, economic and educational development,productivity, social harmony, morality, civic sense or law and orderin the country; AamAadmi Party seems headed in the right direc-tion to slay the demon of corruption that appears to have tentaclesthat are poisoning every dimension of India’s societal existenceand functioning.

Parivartan April 2014@G The Statesman

Independent India’s armed forceshave admirably honoured the Indian Mili-tary Academy’s splendid code of conduct.The same can hardly be said of our poli-ticians and civil administrators.

JAY BHATTACHARJEEIn times of war and not before,God and the soldier we adore.But when war is ended and all things

righted,God is forgotten and the soldier

slighted.These evocative lines have a disputed

origin; some attribute them to an anony-mous poet and others to that arch-im-perialist Kipling, who, despite his nu-merous other faults, wielded a fine penwhen it came to non-colonial themes.All Indians who have read these wordswill immediately relate to the way in whichour country has treated its armed forces.

To be fair, this deplorable conduct isnot the fault of the ordinary citizens. Theaverage Indian has always admired ourmen and women in uniform and hasreadily come forward at every opportu-nity to honour and respect the nation’sdefenders. The only two groups that haveformed a shabby alliance since Indepen-dence to downgrade our armed forces,disrespect them and deny them the nec-essary wherewithal to defend our fron-tiers are the politicians and the bureaucrats. The behaviour of thiscoterie has been so venal and egregious that the phrase neta-babu cabal is now widely accepted and used in all studies andassessments of military issues.

I genuinely believe that the Indian military is the one institutionthat has, to a very great extent, avoided the graft, corruption, sloth,inefficiency and treason that now constitute the DNA of our bureau-cracy and polity. Certainly, the armed forces have shortcomingsand deficiencies; after all, our soldiers share the genes and cul-ture of the rest of the population and the armed forces do not live inisolation. We have had some disastrous military leaders, but theyare invariably people who were favourites of the neta-babu com-bine, foisted on the armed forces and given undeserved boosts inthe services hierarchy.

Nevertheless, the vast majority of our services personnel havebeen role-models as far as their commitment, dedication, hon-esty and valour are concerned. Whenever there has been a crisisor calamity, whether natural or defence-related, the military hascome forward to serve the country without asking any questions or

seeking any compensation or reward. Itseems that this is what sticks in the gul-lets of our politicians and civil function-aries - that the nation has such a glori-ous icon, while they, themselves, are sodisliked and abhorred.

There is history at work here, as in allsocio-political scenarios. Since Inde-pendence, the Nehruvian-power centrewas not comfortable with the military.Some analysts have attributed this to theperception that the Indian armed forceswere much too colonial in their cultureand traditions. Yet, the same “colonial”army saved India’s bacon both in Kash-mir and in Hyderabad. It is now undis-puted that Krishna Menon’s influence onNehru also contributed to the slow riftbetween the country’s political leader-ship and the armed forces. Menon’sabrasive and quixotic method of work-ing led to enormous resentment in thedefence establishment, culminating inthe Thimayya episode in 1959. The re-doubtable General, who was Army Chief,could not reconcile himself to Menon’sstyle of working and decided to resign.Nehru successfully managed to get thegood General to withdraw his resigna-tion, on the basis of assurances that thesituation would be remedied, althoughdefinitive records are not available. This

was the beginning of the steady southern drift of the armed forces.The politicians and the civil services saw this, and rightly so, asthe beginning of their long march to establish themselves as theuncontested leaders in the new sultanate of Delhi.

Events in Pakistan also helped the Indian political-bureaucraticestablishment to downgrade (and even downsize) the armedforces at every conceivable opportunity. Nehru, aided and abettedby Krishna Menon, his faithful ideologue and companion for manydecades, allowed his initial mistrust of the armed forces to be-come an obsession. There is now enough evidence to suggestthat the Union government in the late 1950s, till the Chinese de-bacle in 1962, was always looking over its shoulders to spot anychances of an army coup in the Pakistani mould.

Taking the cue from their political bosses, the civil services, ledby the IAS-IPS combine started their sniping campaign to denyservices personnel their legitimate benefits and humiliate them inevery possible manner.

The two wars of 1965 and 1971 provided temporary respite toour defenders. By bringing considerable honour and glory to the

country, the services thought they had earned the rightto be respected and looked after. This was not to be.The babu-neta coterie was soon back to its oldgames. Here, I must add an important caveat that isnecessary in the interest of objectivity. Many of theservices chiefs and senior brass were also not strongenough or adequately vigilant when the forces werebeing downgraded and humiliated. Too many Chiefsof Staff were glad to accept plum post-retirementpostings and assignments that allowed them to re-tain their earlier life-styles.

We have to fast-forward to the last decade, in orderto have a full picture of the chicanery and venality ofthe Indian political establishment towards theRepublic’s defenders at the present time. The first instance is the“Rank Pay” case, the origins of which lay in an obvious anomaly inthe report of the 4th Pay Commission, whose recommendationswent into effect on 1 January 1986. After years of litigation, thematter was decided by the Supreme Court in September 2012.Instead of implementing the order of the country’s highest court,the babus changed it surreptitiously and illegally, so as to depriveretired defence personnel of a major chunk of benefits. The De-fence Secretary, under whose watch this egregious violation wascommitted, was Shashi Kant Sharma, who had earlier gainednotoriety by putting forward the “Line of Succession” argument inthe Supreme Court in 2012 in General VK Singh’s case.

The Retired Defence Officers Association (RDAO) was com-pelled to return to the Supreme Court with a contempt petitionagainst the Union of India. Sharma was still the Defence Secretarywhen notice was served on him ; however, this did not prevent thegovernment from appointing him as the country’s Comptroller andAuditor General (CAG), a constitutional post that demands integ-rity and character of the highest order. He has now been sum-moned by the Supreme Court through a contempt notice and or-dered to personally attend all hearings till the contempt petition isfinally decided.

If this is not outrageous enough, the “One Rank One Pension”(OROP) issue should be even more of an eye-opener. OROP is along-standing demand of retired services personnel, based onirrefutable logic and equity. Every government and political partyhas paid it lip-service. The present dispensation in Raisina Hillhas been notoriously reluctant to accept it and has not even both-ered to grant a proper hearing to the services personnel in the lastfew years. Here, too, the bureaucracy has led the politicians bytheir nose, producing highly inflated figures of the cost implica-tions and also creating other imaginary phantoms to deter thecabinet. Since the principal opposition party has now publicly en-dorsed the concept, the Finance Minister announced an allocationof Rs 500 crore in the interim budget. This is clearly an eyewashsince all estimates point to a figure of around Rs. 2500 crore (alsoa pittance in the GOI’s coffers) to meet the requirements of the

OROP framework. AK Antony and his team are now busy conjuringup various calculations and excuses to make the Rs. 500-crorefigure credible to the public. This is official skulduggery at its worst.

While all these shenanigans were taking place, the nation wit-nessed another appalling tragedy that befell the armed forces.The lives of two valiant Navy officers were snuffed out becausetheir submarine was compelled to use batteries that had ex-hausted their service lives ... all because a few babus had notreleased the requisite funds for replacing them. The Navy Chief,Admiral Joshi, resigned, taking moral responsibility for the trag-edy. There was not a whimper from the Defence Minister and theDefence Secretary.

This brings me to the oath that young officers take when theypass out of the Indian Military Academy. When they cross the“AntimPag”, they see the Chetwode Motto, bequeathed to us by acolonial military officer. The words proclaim quite simply: “The safety,honour and welfare of your country come first, always and everytime. The honour, welfare and comfort of the men you commandcome next. Your own ease, comfort and safety come last, alwaysand every time.” Independent India’s armed forces have admira-bly honoured this splendid code of conduct. The same can hardlybe said of our politicians and civil administrators.

Testing Time for India’s VotersThe entrenched political establishment is actively engaged in

the process of weakening the growing public support for the newand promising alternative by highlighting the new party’s seeminglack of experience in governance. In the coming few weeks thevoters will decide whether they’ll take their chances with a new,honest and sincere group that may, initially, be slow in deliveringon the planned and promised goals; or continue to live with theentrenchedgroups with extensive experience and track-record ofbeing generous with promises but maliciously dishonest indelivering the results; and who have nurtured the climate ofcorruption that we see all around in India.

Parivartan July 2012AD Gujarat Sikh FarmerParivartan April 2014

THE Gujarat government hosted a grand conference titled “Vi-brant Gujarat Global Agriculture Summit” in Ahmedabad in thesecond week of September. It was a conclave of farmers, farmproduce companies, corporate houses that manufacture agricul-tural equipment, and agricultural researchers and scientists. TheState government brought together approximately 4,500 farmersfrom different parts of the country, selected the “most progressivefarmers” from over 500 districts, and gave each of them a cashaward of Rs.51,001. All the farmers were hosted as state guestsfor three days and were accommodated in two-and three-star ho-tels. The government bore their travel expenses.

Many dignitaries, including Chief Minister NarendraModi, ad-dressed the conference. The central message that was sought tobe sent out by the whole exercise was that Modi and his govern-ment were front runners not only in building infrastructure andattracting corporate investments but also in agricultural develop-ment and farmers welfare. A large number of those who attendedthe summit did go back with this impression.

However, even as the event was under way, farmers in Kutchdistrict, mainly Sikhs, made it clear that they were not enamouredof the conference or its central theme. Sab kuchdikhavahain (it’sall mere pretense) was the refrain of their representatives at theconference. According to them, the State government employedvile and foul means to divest them of the land that they had right-fully held for many decades, and possibly hand it over to friendlybusinessmen and industrialists.

Surinder Singh Bhullar, a spokesperson of the aggrieved farm-ers, said, “Even the Gujarat High Court passed an order on June22, 2012, against freezing the land accounts of Sikh farmers butthe Modi government is not ready to enforce the judgment. In-stead, it has gone on appeal against the ruling. Its only objective isto appropriate approximately one lakh acres [40,000 hectares] ofland belonging to over 700 Sikh farmers.” In fact, their resentmenthad been growing for months and NarendraModi himself had re-

ferred to it in his Independence Day speech in Bhuj, the headquar-ters of Kutch district. He said he recognised the contribution madeby Sikh farmers to Kutch’s agricultural growth and assured themthat they would not be forced to leave the place they had made theirhome.

“We hoped that this would signal the implementation of theHigh Court order. But, days and weeks passed and nothing hap-pened. That is when we felt Modi’s statement was mere lip ser-vice. Nothing has changed. The government is persisting with itsappeal, prolonging our misery. The government’s move meansthat we are in physical possession of the land but cannot exerciseany legal right over it. We cannot get agricultural loan or any otherbenefits. The objective obviously is to make us give up our land orforce us to sell it at distress price.

This is indeed an ingenious way of land grab,” Bhullar toldFrontline. This “ingenious” plan was initiated in 2010 when thedistrict administration started freezing khedutkhatas (agriculturalaccounts or land records) citing violations by the farmers. Thepremise was that the farmers were holding land in violation of theBombay Tenancy and Agricultural Land (Vidarbha Region and KutchArea) Act, 1958, which had been re-emphasised by the Gujaratgovernment through a government circular that was originally is-sued in 1973 (which stated that purchase or acquisition of agricul-tural land by non-farmers of Gujarat or persons from other Statesshall be deemed illegal).

The district administration’s interpretation of the Act and thecircular was that any sale of land to non-agriculturists in Gujarat,even if they were agriculturists in another State, was illegal. TheSikh farmers of Kutch were unilaterally declared agriculturists be-longing to another State, which meant that they could not be con-sidered agriculturists in Kutch. Interestingly, none of them wasasked to present or prove their credentials, nor was an opportunityprovided to them to explain their legal status. They were notifiedthrough advertisements in newspapers that their land had been

frozen.History of sikh settlementsClearly, this unilateral order did not take into consideration the

history of Sikh farmer settlements in the Kutch region. Their firstentry into the region was the stuff of which patriotic tales are made.Kutch came under attack from Pakistan during the 1965 war. India,under the prime ministership of Lal Bahadur Sastri, won the war.After the war, it was felt that the barren, unoccupied stretch of landin Kutch was a security threat that needed to be addressed bysettling population and enhancing economic activity, includingagriculture. Thus, the Sikh farmers of Punjab were given land andinvited to settle in Kutch to advance agriculture.

“The government’s intention at the same time was to guard theborder and make the barren land fertile. In all, 454 Sikh farmerswere given land free of cost,” a senior State government officialsaid. Many of the aggrieved farmersare descendants of these early set-tlers.

“We have lived here for genera-tions, toiled hard and dug deep forwater in the saline soil. Our forefa-thers introduced cotton crop in the re-gion, which is now a major source ofincome for the district and the State.The success of our forefathers at-tracted more and more people fromPunjab and Haryana to Kutch. Peoplelike me are more Kutchi than Punjabi.I studied in Gujarati medium, canread and write Gujarati like any other local, and yet all this was nottaken into consideration when my land was frozen,” Jasveer Singh,a young farmer said.

Another aggrieved farmer, Bhajan Singh, prefaces his interac-tion with this correspondent in chaste Kutchi. Asihedajahaiyu (webelong to this place), he says in a voice tinged in ethnic Kutchi.Only his turban and beard betray his Sikh identity. Kutch has beenhis home since 1966, when he came with his father Gopal Singhat the age of 16. Gopal Singh was invited by the government tosettle in the region and was given 30 acres (12 hectares) of land in1965.

“This is our homeland”“That land was in Khari-Kowda, barely 20 kilometres from the

Pakistan border. Forty farmer families were brought from Punjaband Haryana to settle there. Only hard, saline water was availablein the region then. Yet, the families cultivated there for 15 years.Later, many of them, including our family, moved into other parts ofKutch. We sold our land in Punjab to buy 20 acres [8 hectares] inSumarasar village. We have been cultivating here for over threedecades. Here, too, the land was barren and the water was hardwhen we settled, but we held on and strove on because we had alarger parcel of land than in Punjab. It is through our efforts that this

once-barren land has turned lush green. By any yardstick, this isour homeland. My son Trilochan Singh and grandson Prince DeepSingh were born and grew up here. They are more comfortablespeaking Kutchi than Punjabi. That is, four generations of commit-ted tilling, mending and nursing the land that is dear to us. But allof a sudden, the Gujarat government has decided to deem usforeigners.”

Bhajan Singh is indeed upset, but at one level he perceives itas a cycle of injustice that is perpetrated on the farming commu-nity from generation to generation by the powers that be. He sayshis great-grandfather, too, was subjected to a similar injustice inpresent-day Faisalabad in Pakistan.

“There, too, our family had turned barren land into lush greenthrough hard, committed labour, but in 1947, when India becameindependent, we were told that the land that was our home for

some 50 years was no longer ours.We were ordered to move into newunknown regions, where once againwe had to start from scratch. Per-haps, the government may now askus to go to the Chinese border inArunachal Pradesh in order to act asa buffer against incursion in that re-gion,” Bhajan Singh says wryly.

Such expressions mixed with an-guish, anger and sarcasm can beheard from across the Kutch district.In the Kothara region, referred to lo-cally as mini Punjab, this correspon-

dent travelled to 25 villages and met scores of Sikh and Haryanvifarmers who have been cultivating there for decades but havebeen listed as non-agriculturists through the newspaper adver-tisement.

Sadhu Singh and Chamkavu Singh of Jura village, who boughtland and took up cultivation in the village in the early 1980s, have aslew of documents to prove their legal authority over the land aswell as their continued existence in the village.

“We started cultivating here in 1982 and the registry for the landwas also done the same year. We are standing in that very sameplot. But, nobody has come to inspect our physical presence hereor check our documents. Instead, a completely arbitrary decisionhas been thrust on us,” Sadhu Singh said.

“You cannot get a crop loan once the record is frozen. Also, thecrop cannot be sold in the organised sector. It has to be sold toprivate traders at a lower rate while borrowing from private money-lenders at a higher rate,” Pritam Singh of Kothara said.

Bhullar told Frontline that in the days immediately after the freez-ing of the khedutkhatas, the farmers tried to plead with the authori-ties to change the decision. “Many of us were told that we were noteven farmers in other States but were mere businessmen indulg-ing in land dealings,” he said.

Parivartan April 2014AF Gujarat Sikh Farmer

Middle-level officers in the State Revenue Department in Ahmedabad repeated theargument. (Senior officers, including the Revenue Secretary, were not available forcomment despite repeated attempts to contact them.)

One middle-level officer pointed out that the list of frozen accounts included thoseof 100-odd Gujaratis and that Sikhs were not targeted specifically.

The Sikh farmers and those who support them in their legal and social struggleson the issue do admit that the list contains some non-agriculturalists and a few non-Sikhs. “But that again only points to the ingenuity of the land grab. Put the names ofsome non-farmers and non-Sikhs in the list, point to them, highlight their cases andsay that the entire list is populated by people like that. No rocket science is required toknow that more than 90 per cent of those aggrieved, are real farmers, and that toosmall and marginal ones. All that you need to do to ascertain this is to travel acrossKutch. Obviously, the Modi administration does not want to do this,” barrister HimmatSingh Shergill, who is representing the farmers in the Supreme Court, said.

Shergill pointed out that the full Bench of the High Court had stated categoricallythat it was not impressed by the submissions of the Advocate-General that the Statedid not possess sufficient machinery to verify the genuineness of the certificates givenby the other States regarding a person’s status as agriculturist in those States.

“In our opinion, when the State government is prepared to accept the certificategranted by other States as regards the quantum of agricultural land held by an agricul-turist in other States as genuine for the purpose of ceiling, there is no reason why suchcertificate as regards their status as agriculturists cannot be relied upon,” the courthad ruled, setting aside the decision of the Kutch Collector to freeze the land ac-counts. It also set aside the 1973 circular, which facilitated the freezing of land ac-counts.

Yet, the government is persisting with its intent through an appeal in the SupremeCourt and false promises made at public meetings. Bhullar and Pritam Singh toldFrontline that several farmers had sold their land at throwaway prices fearing action.There are also allegations that some land mafia dons are putting pressure on farm-ers to sell their land at bargain prices. “They tell us that even if it is frozen they will getit [the sale] done,” said Pritam Singh.

While land grab is the obvious fallout of the freezing of land accounts, many observ-ers, social analysts and even businessmen suspect a larger game plan. Kutch is thelargest district in India and the region has been witnessing high industrial investmentin the past decade. Between 2001-06, that is, after the 2001 earthquake that devas-tated Bhuj, Kutch attracted industrial investment worth nearly Rs.20,000 crore. A five-year tax holiday was given to start new industries before 2005 in order to rehabilitatethe earthquake victims.

An office-bearer of the Gujarat chapter of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII)told Frontline on condition of anonymity that the State government had formulated anew land assessment and mapping policy for Kutch to put industrial growth on fastertrack. “It proposed to speed up the process of conversion of agricultural land into non-agricultural to expedite the setting up of industry in the district.” The official also said itwas common knowledge that a major chunk of private sector investment in Kutch inthe last decade was beneficial to the Adani group, considered to be close to Modi.

“At this point of time, it is not clear how the frozen land will be used. But, clearly, thereis a plan to convert agricultural land into non-agricultural land. The plight of the Sikhfarmers could well be just a piece in a larger jigsaw puzzle,” the official said.

While these surmises are doing the rounds in Kutch and Ahmedabad, the “Kutchi”Sikhs are continuing their struggle with the hope of finding a just solution to theinjustice meted out to them.

Parivartan April 2014AH Report

PriyaSemwal is one ofthe 62 women who werecommissioned into the In-dian Army as short serviceofficers at the ceremonialpassing out parade at the Officers Training Academy in Chennai.

Scripting history, 26-year-old PriyaSemwal, who lost her hus-band in a counter-insurgency operation two years back, was onSaturday inducted into the technical wing of the Armed Force as ayoung officer.

From a college-going woman married to an Army jawan in 2006to an officer commissioned into the Corps of the Electrical andMechanical Engineering (EME) of the Army today, Ms. Semwal’slife has come a full circle.

Ms. Semwal is one of the 62 women, besides the 194 men,who were commissioned into the Indian Army as short serviceofficers at the ceremonial passing out parade at the Officers Train-ing Academy in Chennai.

The mother of the then four-year-old Khwahish Sharma, Ms.Semwal’s future looked bleak when she heard the death of herhusband Naik Amit Sharma serving with the 14 Rajput regiment ina counter-insurgency operation near hilly Tawang in ArunachalPradesh in 2012.

“Her husband was serving in my unit. In that operation, he losthis life while others suffered injuries. When I learnt Amit had en-couraged her to complete degree and then PG, I thought she shouldbecome an officer,” said Colonel Arun Agarwal, Commanding Of-ficer, 14 Rajput Regiment.

Mr. Agarwal’s word of advice, however, was not received readily.“Her brother initially asked what was I saying. She had just lost herhusband and they wondered how I could have asked them then.But, eventually they all agreed,” said the Colonel, who came all theway from the border to witness Ms. Semwal become an officer.

“She (PriyaSemwal) was qualified and I felt that she will do it.Initially, she had some apprehensions but once she was con-vinced, there was no turning back. Probably, this isthe first time an Army jawan’s wife has become anofficer in India,” the Colonel said.

There might be instances where wives of Armyofficers would have joined the force after their death,but this is probably the first time, the wife of a NonCommissioned Officer (NCO) has become an of-ficer, he pointed out.

While Khwahish was clinging to her mother, whomeveryone was taking photographs with and talkingto, Ms. Semwal recalled how the Colonel’s advicemotivated her. “Initially, I did not know what to do. Ihad a daughter studying... Later, I realised it wouldbe only right to follow my husband into the forces,”said Ms. Semwal, smartly dressed in the Army uni-form.

While PriyaSemwal was only afirst-year undergraduate studentwhen she got married in 2006, shehad completed post graduation inMathematics and a Bachelor’s de-gree in teaching and employed in acoaching institute at her nativeDehradun, when her husband waskilled.

She would also earn a B Techdegree while being in Corps of theElectrical and Mechanical Engineer-ing (EME). Standing at a distance,the officer’s motherVaishakaSemwal, was short ofwords, seeing her daughter be-come a symbol of hope and inspiration to many.

“Though there was hesitation initially, she wanted to face it andbecome an officer and we supported her. We are very proud of itnow,” the officer’s brother PraveshSemwal said.

A student at the Convent of Jesus and Mary School at Dehradun,Khwahish, however, does not want to part with her mother, sayingshe missed her for many months during training. “I want her to jointhe Army too. She is very small now,” Ms. Semwal said, caressingher daughter’s head.

But, when asked whether she would remain with her grand-mother, as her mother proceeded to Leh in Kashmir this Aprilwhere she has been posted, little Khwahish dressed in a red frocksaid, “Nahi (No)” and clung to her mother again.

Parivartan April 2014 AILife Stories

First Story : At the beginning of WWII, when the truth about thefate of the Jewish people was discovered, and when there werestill ways to save them, a few hundred rich Jews bought a ship inorder to get their families on board and escape to America. Butthey needed visas, so they approached the American Ambassadorin London. It was not difficult for him, but he utterly refused. TheJews, in order to save their families, went without thevisas.

When the Ambassador found out about it, hecontacted Washington, advising them that a shipwith illegal immigrants is approaching America.The Jews managed to overcome the horrors ofwar and reach America, but were not permittedinto America. These unlucky people were or-dered to turn around and return to burning Eu-rope. and all burnt in the camps.

When the tragedy was revealed, the Rabbi ofLondon came to the American Ambassador and said:“Your deeds do not befit not only your post, but you are notfit to be called ‘a human’. And now, since you caused hundreds ofpeople’s death, YOU AND ALL YOUR DESCENDANTS genera-tions down from now on will be cursed!”

The name of the American Ambassador was KENNEDY.Second Story : Again, WWII.Lithowenia. The Japanese

Ambassador, who was a compassionate and noble person,disagreed with the Nazi crimes, and was concerned with the futureof the European Jewry. He used his status and provided them withvisas to Japan. From Japan they immigrated to America. Thus hesaved the lives of thousands of Jews.

When the Germans found out they demanded that the Ambas-sador will be removed. The Japanese, allies of the Nazis, followedthe request. But he still had 2 weeks until his return, and he usedthese 2 weeks, and worked around the clock, days and nights, and

recruited people to help him issue more visas. The lives of manymore Jews were saved this way.

This was a very dangerous act, deserving of admiration.Prior to his leaving a mission of Jews from the Vilna Synagogue

came to thank him.“What you have done for the Jewish People will never be forgot-

ten, and we will pray to God to bless you and your descendants.”This wonderful person returned to Japan, and miraculously all

his punishment was that he was fired and lost his pension.In order to help his family he started a small workshop.His name was Mitsubishi.Third Story : In the center of the city of Kiev there’s a statue in

memory of the all-powerful leader of the Ukraine, BogdanKhmelnitsky. He is sitting on the back of a beautiful horse, his righthand holding a sword and pointing up, towards the sky. he is theepitome of Ukraine’s independence. Khmelnitsky is the pride ofthe Ukrainians, and all visitors are impressed by the beauty of thestatue of the great leader.

But not many know that Khmelnitsky was a beastly anti-Semite.On his conscience many pogroms against the Jews, burning downof towns and villages, and the blood of many innocent Jews. Howmany future-geniuses, who could have been great achievers, werelost to the world. His ruthless thugs had no mercy for women orchildren.

These are historical facts. A lot sorrow brought the accursedKhmelnitsky to the land of Ukraine.

But in one town, the pogrom was especially horrible.Khmelnitsky and his thugs, drunken on Jewish blood, robbed anddestroyed all the homes of the Jews. The boys and the girls weretaken to the Synagogue and were all burnt without mercy. All thatwas left of this town was its name, and not one living Jew.

But centuries later the punishment came!The name of this town is Chernobyl, and in the exact place that

the Synagogue used to be, was the Nuclear Plant #4 of the infamouspower plant known in the tragedy that occurred in this town.

Try one. Try them all. Theywork. Science says so.

You work really hard. In fact,you might not be able to workany harder. But you can still worksmarter.

Here’s Belle Beth Cooper :One of the things I love about

the culture at Buffer is theemphasis on working smarter,not harder. Our team is all aboutgetting plenty of sleep, exercise,and recreation time, so our timespent working is as productiveas it can be.

Working harder can be aneasy habit to slip into, though.Sometimes it’s hard to switch offat the end of the day or take timeout on the weekend and stop thinking about work. With a startup ofmy own to run, I find this even harder to manage. Whenever I’m notworking on Buffer I’m working on Exist, and it’s easy to fall into apattern of “always working” rather than working smart.

Here are five ways to avoid that trap :1. Take more breaks. In one of my favorite books, Stephen Covey

tells a story about a woodcutter whose saw gets more blunt astime passes and he continues cutting down trees. If the woodcutterwere to stop sawing, sharpen his saw, and go back to cutting thetree with a sharp blade, he would actually save time and effort inthe long run.

The analogy is an easy oneto remember but harder to putinto practice. Here’s whatCovey says about sharpen-ing the saw in our lives:

Sharpen the Sawmeans preserving andenhancing thegreatest asset youhave - you. It means

having a bal-

anced program for self-renewal in the four areas of your life: physical,social/emotional, mental, and spiritual.

Sharpening the saw is a great habit to get into in all areas of ourlives, but I think it can be especially beneficial when it comes towork and helping us avoid burnout.

On average our brains are only able to remain focused for 90minutes; then we need at least 15 minutes rest. (The phenomenonis based on ultradian rhythms.) By taking period breaks roughlyevery 90 minutes you allow your mind and body to renew - and beready to fire off another 90-minute period of high activity.

For some people, 15 to 20 minute breaks might be tough to pulloff, but taking short breaks throughout the day can still help you torefresh your mind and reset your attention span.

2. Take naps. Research shows naps lead to improvement incognitive function, creative thinking, and memory performance. Inparticular, napping benefits the learning process by helping ustake in and retain information better.

The improved learning process comes from naps actuallyhelping our brain to solidify memories. According to Max Read,“Research indicates that when memory is first recorded in thebrain - in the hippocampus, to be specific - it’s still ‘fragile’ andeasily forgotten, especially if the brain is asked to memorize morethings. Napping, it seems, pushes memories to the neocortex, thebrain’s ‘more permanent storage,’ preventing them from being‘overwritten.’

One study into memory found that participants did remarkablybetter on a test following a nap than those who didn’t sleep at all.

Not only are naps beneficial for consolidating memories andhelping us remember new information (handy if your job includesa lot of research during the day!), they’re also useful in helping us

to avoid burnout, since research shows burnout is a signalthat says you can’t take in more information in this part of yourbrain until you’ve had a chance to sleep.

3. Spend time in nature. Daniel Goleman, author of Focus: The Hidden Power of Excellence, suggests spending timein nature to help us reset our attention span and relax ourminds.

One experiment he mentions tested how relaxed peoplewere when taking a walk down a city street versus in a quietpark. The study found that the level of attention needed tonavigate a busy city street is high enough that the walk doesn’tlet the brain relax enough to reset our focus levels:

Unlike natural environments, urban environments are filledwith stimulation that captures attention dramatically andadditionally requires directed attention (e.g., to avoid being hitby a car), making them less restorative.

Spending time in nature, however, allows your mind to fullyrelax and unwind and helps you focus longer when you return towork. Plus, other research has found that for students, motivationto learn is higher when they are outside instead of in a classroom.

4. Move and work in blocks. I recently read a blog post by JoelRunyon about a method he calls “workstation popcorn” (which isbasically what our back-end developer Colin does.)

The idea is that you set up at various cafes, workspaces, or, asin Colin’s case, pubs to get chunks of work done throughout theday. Workstation popcorn starts with a clear, thought out to-do list:you create a plan for what you will accomplish at each location soyou can immediately jump into those tasks.

Joel breaks up his to-do list into sections - one per café that heplans to visit - and each section into three clear tasks. Once hegets through the group of tasks he has set, he moves on to the nextcafé on his list.

Of course, you can sort out your task list however suits you best,

but the important part to note is having a clear finishing point basedon your task list rather than the time you will move to a new location.And when you move, cycling or walking is a good way to go,according to Joel:

Use this time to practice your Zen, take a break from your screen,and get some movement into your day. Keep your phone in yourpocket, and move. Take a break away from work for at least thirtyminutes.

I know Colin often finds this break period helpful for thinkingthrough what he’s working on or what he will do next. Joel alsonoted in his post that he has been more productive, more activeduring the day, and is working fewer hours since he started thisprocess.

5. Check your email first thing. This one is fairly counter intuitive;basically everyone says not to check email right away, but I do andfind it extremely useful. Here are some ways checking email firsthelps me to be more productive during the day.

If you work in a remote team like we do at Buffer, a businesstrend that is increasingly more common, you’ll know what it’s liketo have half of your team (or more) working while you’re asleep. Ifyou need to work closely with others, it’s important to check inbefore you start your workday and make sure you’re on the samepage as everyone else.

Since I started working at Buffer, I’ve woken up to emails sayingI had typos to fix, a new blog post published, and even that Bufferhad been hacked. Dealing with important issues first thing helpsme make quick decisions about whether my day needs to beadjusted to fit in with what everyone else is doing or whether I canproceed with the tasks I already had planned. By Jeff Haden

Parivartan April 2014BD For Interview

Smart entrepreneurs from a variety of industriesshare the interview questions that tell them every-thing they need to know about a candidate.

Interview questions : Everyone has them. Ande v e r y o n ewishes theyhad betterones.

1. If we’resitting here ayear from nowc e l e b r a t i n gwhat a great

year it’s been for you in this role, what did we achieve together?“For me, the most important thing about interviews is that the

interviewee interviews us. I need to know they’ve done theirhomework, truly understand our company and the role... and reallywant it.

“The candidate should have enough strategic vision to not onlytalk about how good the year has been but to answer with an eyetowards that bigger-picture understanding of the company - andwhy they want to be here.” Randy Garutti, Shake Shack CEO

2. When have you been most satisfied in your life?“Except with entry-level candidates, I presume reasonable job

skill and intellect. Plus I believe smart people with relevantexperience adapt quickly and excel in new environments wherethe culture fits and inspires them.

“So, I concentrate on character and how well their matches that

of my organization.“This question opens the door for a different kind of conversation

where I push to see the match between life in my company andwhat this person needs to be their best and better in my companythan he or she could be anywhere else.”

Dick Cross, Cross Partnership founder and CEO3. If you got hired, loved everything about this job, and are

paid the salary you asked for, what kind of offer from anothercompany would you consider?

“I like to find out how much the candidate is driven by moneyversus working at a place they love.

“Can they be bought?“You’d be surprised by some of the answers.”

IlyaPozin, Ciplex founder4. Who is your role model, and why?

“The question can reveal how introspective the candidate isabout their own personal and professional development, whichis a quality I have found to be highly correlated with successand ambition.

“Plus it can show what attributes and behaviors the candidateaspires to.”

Clara Shih, Hearsay Social co-founder and CEO5. What things do you not like to do?

“We tend to assumepeople who have

held a roleenjoy allaspects of

that role, but I’vefound that is

seldom thecase.

“Getting an honest answer to the question requires persistence,though. I usually have to ask it a few times in different ways, but theanswers are always worth the effort. For instance, I interviewed asales candidate who said she didn’t enjoy meeting new people.

“My favorite was the finance candidate who told me he hateddealing with mundane details and checking his work. Next!”

Art Papas, Bullhorn founder and CEO6. Tell me about a project or accomplishment that you con-

sider to be the most significant in your career.“I find that this question opens the door to further questions and

enables someone to highlight themselves in a specific, non-genericway.

“Plus additional questions can easily follow: What position didyou hold when you achieved this accomplishment? How did itimpact your growth at the company? Who else was involved and

Parivartan April 2014 BEFor Interview

how did the accomplishment impact your team?“Discussing a single accomplishment is an easy way to open

doors to additional information and insight about the person, theirwork habits, and how they work with others.”

Deborah Sweeney, My Corporation owner and CEO7. Tell me how...“I don’t have one favorite question because I believe a great

interview takes on a life of its own, becoming more of a conversationthan a formal process.

“Ultimately we’re looking for people who are motivated,disciplined, good spirited, possessing skills and passion, so Iask indirect questions about the creative process, about articulatingand demystifying the process of creating great food and greatservice.

“Then I trust my instincts. Reading the eyes of the candidate isa final test I’ve come to rely on - because the eyes never lie.”

Eric Ripert, Le Bernardin chef and co-owner8. What’s your superpower, or what’s your spirit animal?“During her interview I asked my current executive assistant

what was her favorite animal. She told me it was a duck, becauseducks are calm on the surface and hustling like crazy getting thingsdone under the surface.

“I think this was an amazing response and a perfect descriptionfor the role of an EA. For the record, she’s been working with us forover a year now and is amazing at her job.”

Ryan Holmes, HootSuite CEO9. Why have you had x amount of jobs in y years?“This question helps me get a full picture of the candidate’s

work history. What keeps them motivated? Why, if they have, didthey jump from job to job? And what is the key factor when theyleave?

“The answer shows me their loyalty and their reasoning process.Do they believe someone always keeps them down (managers,bosses, etc.)? Do they get bored easily?

“There is nothing inherently wrong with moving from job to job -the reasons why are what matters.”

ShamaKabani, The Marketing Zen Group founder and CEO10. We’re constantly making things better, faster, smarter or

less expensive. We leverage technology or improve processes.In other words, we strive to do more - with less. Tell me about arecent project or problem that you made better, faster, smarter,more efficient, or less expensive.

“Good candidates will have lots of answers to this question.Great candidates will get excited as they share their answers.

“In 13 years we’ve only passed along one price increase to ourcustomers. That’s not because our costs have decreased - quitethe contrary. We’ve been able to maintain our prices becausewe’ve gotten better at what we do. Our team, at every level, hastheir ears to the ground looking for problems to solve.

“Every new employee needs to do that, too.”Edward Wimmer, RoadID co-founder and co-owner

11. Discuss a specific accomplishment you’ve achieved in aprevious position that indicates you will thrive in this position.

“Past performance is usually the best indicator of future success.“If the candidate can’t point to a prior accomplishment, they are

unlikely to be able to accomplish much at our organization - oryours.” Dave Lavinsky, Growthink co-founder and president

12. So, (insert name), what’s your story?“This inane question immediately puts an interviewee on the

defensive because there is no right answer or wrong answer. Butthere is an answer.

“It’s a question that asks for a creative response. It’s an invitationto the candidate to play the game and see where it goes withoutworrying about the right answer. By playing along, it tells me a lotabout the character, imagination, and inventiveness of the person.

“The question, as obtuse as it might sound to the interviewee,is the beginning of a story and in today’s world of selling oneself,or one’s company, it’s the ability to tell a story and create a feelingthat sells the brand - whether it’s a product or a person.

“The way they look at me when the question is asked also tellsme something about their likeability. If they act defensive, lookuncomfortable, and pause longer than a few seconds, it tells methey probably take things too literally and are not broad thinkers. Inour business we need broad thinkers.”

Richard Funess, Finn Partners managing partner13. What questions do you have for me?“I love asking this question really early in the interview - it shows

me whether the candidate can think quickly on their feet, and alsoreveals their level of preparation and strategic thinking.

“I often find you can learn more about a person based on thequestions they ask versus the answers they give.”

Scott Dorsey, ExactTarget co-founder and CEO14. Tell us about a time when things didn’t go the way you

wanted - like a promotion you wanted and didn’t get, or a projectthat didn’t turn out how you had hoped.

“It’s a simple question that says so much. Candidates may saythey understand the importance of working as a team but thatdoesn’t mean they actually know how to work as a team.

We need self-starters that will view their position as apartnership. “Answers tend to fall into three basic categories: 1)blame 2) self-deprecation, or 3) opportunity for growth.

“Our company requires focused employees willing to wear manyhats and sometimes go above and beyond the job description, soI want team players with the right attitude and approach. If thecandidate points fingers, blames, goes negative on formeremployers, communicates with a sense of entitlement, or speaksin terms of their role as an individual as opposed to their positionas a partnership, he or she won’t do well here.

“But if they take responsibility and are eager to put what theyhave learned to work, they will thrive in our meritocracy.”

Tony Knopp, Spotlight Ticket Management co-founder andCEO.

I sat by the TV acouple days ago,as news channels confirmed the demise of 26-year-old Lt. Com-mander KapishMuwal and 25-year-old Lt. Manoranjan Kumar inthe fire onboard the INS Sindhuratna. The brave young officerschoked to death while saving the lives of their comrades and pro-tecting the ageing submarine from a far graver outcome. I searchedfor these young martyrs on Facebook, hoping to find pictures. Iwanted to look into their faces and imprint them to memory; I wantedto recognise and remember these men who signed up to protectthe nation, but perished much before their time, suffocated by thecallousness of an arrogant government.

I close my eyes, trying to imagine what went through their mindsin the those final minutes when death was certain. “Not like this,”they must’ve thought, “Not like this”. I open my eyes expecting atear to flow down my cheek as it often does when valiant men of theIndian armed forces lay down their lives for a nation that is quick toforget their sacrifice. But tears don’t flow anymore…all I feel israge. Rage that young men of this nation die at the altar of a govern-ment and bureaucracy that sends them to their death in peacetimein floating coffins. Rage that our defence minister, a man whoseincompetence is overwhelmed only by his lack of appreciation forour military, has the audacity to accuse our Navy of “frittering away”national resources. Rage that an outstanding officer and leader ofour men has to resign before a preoccupied nation stops to give itsmilitary a second thought.

Most of us will never understand or appreciate the patriotism,courage and honour that drives a man to pledge his life to hiscountry. We will never share in the heart-wrenching sacrifice thesebravehearts and their families will make for our amnesic nation.But that certainly doesn’t absolve us of our responsibility towardsthem. The disproportionate nature of the sacrifice we exact fromour men in uniform, makes it a moral imperative for civil society tofight for them against the enemy within - a callous, corrupt and self-serving government and bureaucracy, wreaking of hubris and stoliddisregard for its military.

Beyond tests of moral rectitude which our government fails abys-mally, I doubt that there exists a regime on the planet more vacu-ous in thought or more delusional in psyche vis-a-vis national se-curity. A fifth grader with just a cursory knowledge of geographyunderstands why it is crucial for a nation such as ours with its 1.4Bpeople, 15,000 kms of landlocked international borders, and 7,500kms of porous coastline to have a robust and well-equipped mili-tary. As if our size weren’t enough, we’re flanked on the west byvolatile, terror-ridden territory and on the north by a belligerent terri-torial aggressor. Could it be any clearer that a powerful, well-fundedand competently commanded military is paramount to our sover-eignty?

Why is it then that despite the obvious answers, our governmenthave gotten away with gross apathy towards the armed forces’upgradation and maintenance needs? Six new stealth subma-

rines approved inprinciple as far

back as 2007, are still nothing more than a bunch of files shuttlingbetween the defence and finance ministries, even as 20 navalpersonnel have lost their lives in the last 8 months in accidents onageing subs at the end of their operational lives. Admiral Joshi, aformidable officer, skilled and exacting leader and an honourableman, finally resigned after his consistent attempts to procure bet-ter equipment and newer vessels and repeated requests to dredgethe Mumbai harbour fell on deaf ears, even as he continued to losemen.

Why has the government been able to escape the conse-quences of its egregious inaction that has cost us the lives ofpatriots who were shortchanged even in death? Who when theypledged their lives to the nation, hoped for a martyrdom, if thatwere to be their fate, of valour and consequence, not one of sense-less tragedy.

The reason, often obscured by the depravity of our politics andthe overwhelming corruption in government, hides in plain sight.In a democracy, however imperfect it may be, the government givesits people only what they ask for, and ask for vehemently. Last year,the nation launched a massive campaign against sexual violencein the aftermath of the horrific gang rape of a 23-year student inDelhi. The unprecedented national fury and fierce demand for stron-ger legislation and implementation, made the government finallysit up and take notice. We, as a nation, had reached a tipping point.We were not willing to accept the brutalisation of our women any-more. While much more needs to be done in this regard, it was amomentous, long-due beginning. We need to do the same for ourmen in uniform. The nation needs to rise as a monolith with rageand determination and demand that our government give our mili-tary the vessels, machinery, weapons and resources they need topreserve our sovereignty. We have to fight for our men to honourthe memory of our heroes who perished in tragedy, betrayed not bythe enemy, but by their own government and country. May not asingle son of our land lose his life to faulty equipment or an ageingvessel. We owe this to our men; we need to do this for our heroes.Else, Lt. Commander KapishMuwal and Lt. Manoranjan Kumarwill never rest in peace. by Simran Brar

Mahatma Gandhi may epitomize India in the West, but he is justone of the many towering figures of history that have shaped theland, its culture and its religions. Poets such as Tagore and Iqbalimmortalized India in verse while emperors like Asoka and Akbarruled over dazzling domains that stunned the visitor.

Among the great philosophers and thinkers that India gifted tothe world are two men who tower above the rest- Buddha andGuru Nanak, the founders of Buddhism and Sikhism. WhileBuddha is well known in the West as a result of his creed andfollowers, Guru Nanak, whose birthday we celebrate today is yet tobe discovered.

Let this Muslim introduce you to the man who founded theworld’s youngest religion, Sikhism and who had a profound rolein shaping my Punjabiheritage, alas, one that was torn to shredsby the bloody partition of Indiain August 1947.

Today, the place where Guru Nanak was born in 1469 is a citythat was ethnically cleansed of its entire Sikh population duringthe bloodbath of 1947.

Nankana Sahib, a place where the Guru spent his childhoodwith Muslim and Hindu friends are a Bethlehem without Christians;a Medina without Muslims.

For a few days the town will bustle with Sikh pilgrims from allover the world, but soon they will depart and nary a turban will beseen until the Sikhs return next year.

The city of Nankana Sahib lies near Lahore, my maternalancestral home, where my mother and father were born. My mothertold me how she as a Muslimgirl grew up with Sikh neighbors andhow she was part of the Sikh family’s celebrations at the time ofGurpurab and how she would travel with her friend to NankanaSahib. Decades later she would still recall her lost friend who leftPakistan to seek refuge across the border.

Today Nankana Sahib celebrates, but there are no Muslim girlsaccompanying their Sikh friends, None.

It is sad. Sad, because Sikhism and Guru Nanak wereintertwined with Islam and Muslims.

The Guru’s closest companion was a Muslim by the name ofBhai Mardana. It is said when Mardana was dying, the Guru askedhim, how would you like to die?

As a Muslim? To which the ailing companion replied, “As ahuman being.”

Five hundred years later, a border divides Muslim and SikhPunjabis. Aborder where two nuclear armies and a million menface each other. As a Muslim Punjabi I feel the British in dividingPunjab separated my soul from my body and left the two to surviveon their own. Muslim Punjabis lost their neighbours and familyfriends of generations. Most of all they lost their language thattoday languishes as a second-class tongue in its own home.Wekept Nankana Sahib, but lost the Guru.

However, the tragedy that befell the Sikhs was far more ominousand deserves special mention. For Sikhs, the Punjabi cities ofLahore and Gujranwala, Nankana Sahib and Rawalpindi weretheir hometowns and had shared a history with their Gurus. Withthe 1947 Partition, not only was Punjab divided, but the Sikhs wereethnically cleansed from Pakistan’s Punjab.

As a result of the creation of the Islamic State of Pakistan, theSikhs lost absolute access to the following holy sites: GurdwaraJanamAsthan, the birth place of Guru Nanak, in Nankana Sahib;Gurdwara Punja Sahib in HasanAbdal; Gurdwara Dera Sahib inLahore, where the Fifth Guru, Arjan, was martyred; GurdwaraKartarpur Sahib in Kartarpur, where Guru Nanak died; and, ofcourse, the Memorial to Maharaja Ranjit Singh, Emperor of Punjab,in Lahore.

When the killings and cleansing of 1947 ended, not a singleSikh was visible in Lahore. Of course, Muslims too were chasedout of the eastern parts of Punjab, but they were not losing theirholy places of Mecca or Medina.

Even though we Muslims despair the occupation of Jerusalem,we still have the comfort of knowing that Muslims still live in andaround the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque. But whatabout the Sikhs?

Parivartan April 2014 BH 542 B'day of Guru Nanak Dev ji

To feel their pain, Muslims need to imagine how outraged wewould feel if, God for bid, Mecca and Medina were cleansed of allMuslims and fell under the occupation of, say, Ethiopia. How canwe Muslims ask for the liberation of Muslim lands while weinstitutionalize the exclusion and ethnic cleansing of all Sikhs fromtheir holy sites inside an Islamic state? Muslims who cannotempathize with the loss of the Sikhs need to ask themselves whythey don’t.

Before 1947, Punjabi Muslims did not consider Sikhism as anadversarial faith. After all, from the Muslim perspective, Sikhismwas the combination of the teachings of Sufism, which was rootedin Islamic thought and the Bhakti movement, an organic link toHindu philosophy. It is true that Moghul emperors had beenparticularly vicious and cruel to the leaders of the Sikhfaith, butthese Moghuls were not acting as representatives of Islam. Notonly that, the Moghuls inflicted even harsher punishments on theirfellow Muslims.

With the creation of Pakistan, the Sikhs lost something evenmore precious than their holy places: diverse sub cultural streams.One such stream flourishing in Thal region (Sind Sagar Doab) inwhat is now Pakistan, near Punjab’s border with Sind andBaluchistan, was known as the “SewaPanthis.”

The SewaPanthi tradition flourished in southwest Punjab fornearly 12 generations until 1947. This sect (variously known asSewaPanthis, SewaDassiey, and AddanShahis), is bestsymbolized by Bhai Ghanniyya who, though himself a Sikh, aidedwounded Sikh and Muslim soldiers alike during theTenth SikhGuru’s wars with the Moghuls. SewaPanthis wore distinctive whiterobes.

They introduced a new dimension to the sub continental religiousphilosophies. They believed that sewa (helping the needy) wasthe highest form of spiritual meditation - higher than singing hymnsor reciting holybooks. The creation of Pakistan dealt a devastatingblow to the SewaPanthisand they never got truly transplanted inthe new “East” Punjab.

The organic relationship between philosophies and land,indeed, requiresnative soil for ideas to bloom. Other such sectsand deras (groups) that made up the composite Sikh faith of the19th and early 20th centuries included Namdharis, Nirankaris,RadhaSoamis, Nirmaley, and Sidhs- all were pushed to themargins, or even out of Sikhism, after the partition.

The tragedy of the division of Punjab is best captured in a movingpoem by the first prominent woman Sikh/Punjabi poet, novelist,and essayist Amrita Pritam, “Ujj akhaan WarisShah noo” (An Odeto WarisShah), which she is said to have written while escaping ina train with her family from Pakistan to India.

Amrita Pritam wrote:“ujj aakhan Waris Shah nuun,kithon kabraan vichchon bol,tay ujj kitab-e ishq daa koii aglaa varkaa pholik roii sii dhii punjaab dii,tuun likh likh maare vaen,

South Asian migration to Austra-lia is a recent phenomenon, span-ning just the past few decades. Butnot many of us know that our Sikhforefathers first came to Australiamore than 150 years ago - at a timewhen the dust was yet to settle fromthe fall of Ranjit Singh’s empire.

Displaying their true enterpris-ing spirit, they crossed the sevenseas to come to the land DownUnder, in search of a better lifestyleand wages, and quickly endearedthemselves to the local populationhere. Country towns all over Aus-tralia are dotted with memories ofthese brave Punjabi migrants, whoseem to have been welcomed bythe locals despite the official “WhiteAustralia” policy.

Sadly, they are also forgotten inthe annals of history.

Initially, the migrants from Indiawere indentured labourers, whoworked on sheep stations andfarms around Australia. Some ad-venturers followed during the goldrush of the 1850’s.

A census from 1861 indicatesthat there were around 200 Indiansin Victoria of whom 20 were inBallarat, the town which was at theepicenter of the gold rush. There-after, many more came and workedas hawkers - going from house tohouse, town to town, traversingthousands of kilometers, makinga living by selling a variety of prod-ucts.

A record of shipping arrivals of the day shows that S.S Clitus andS.S. Jullundur arrived in Melbourne in 1898 carrying manyPunjabis, some of whom like Nutta Singh, Hurman Singh, IndurSingh, Isur Singh, Sundi and Sunda Singh went on to becomehawkers. (Please note that the names were written phonetically bya clerk on arrival, so the spellings are as recorded, not necessarilyas they are meant to be spelt).

There is enough anecdotal evidence from local Australiansthat the Sikh hawkers were much loved members of the commu-nity. The womenfolk loved them because they provided a welcomebreak from their mundane existence - the hawkers brought beau-tiful clothes, goods, all things exotic, and a fleeting glimpse of the

big wide world beyond their farm-lands.

The Australian men liked thehawkers because they were tough- they knew how to survive in diffi-cult bush land and, more impor-tantly, they played cricket!

The Aussie kids adored thehawkers because of the storiesthey told of another world, becauseof their playful spirit and their won-derfully aromatic curries.

Now meet Len Kenna, an Aus-tralian historian, playwright andpoet who has been commissionedby the Victorian government to writethe official history of Indian migra-tion to Victoria (the south-easternstate of Australia with Melbourneas its capital city). His brief is to‘research and preserve anything ofIndian cultural significance’ inVictoria. Although the subject mat-ter of his research can’t be re-leased yet, he is convinced that In-dian migration to Australia begana long time ago. He personally re-members a hawker by the nameof Gunter Singh (probably GandaSingh), who came to his house inHamilton (in county Victoria) wherehe grew up in the 1940’s.

Says Kenna: “The Indian hawk-ers were better educated thanmost others in those days, theywere polite and well-cultured. Theyspoke English, so we had greatconversations. I used to hop intoGunter Singh’s horse wagon, mar-

vel at his goods and listen to his stories all night. I shared somescones with him and he cooked absolutely wonderful curries forus. That smell is still fresh in my mind, so many decades later!”

Kenna says his mother and her friend used to take turns towash Gunter Singh’s turbans and Singh cooked for them in return.“I remember those bright turbans on our clothesline, flapping wildlyin the wind,” recalls Kenna. He adds, “The country women lovedthe Sikh hawkers. They were such a wonderful change from theAussie farm men who were stuck knee-deep in cow manure formost of the day and still treated their women with an air of Victoriansuperiority. The women loved the way the hawkers respected themand treated them like ‘ladies’!”

As a tribute tothese hawkers,Kenna penned aplay, ‘It happenedin Heywood’, whichhas been stagedin Melbourne andmany countrytowns of Victoria. Atthe end of manyshows, peoplefrom the audiencehave come up andshared their ownmemories of theSikh hawkers andKenna is hoping topreserve all of

these stories for posterity.‘It Happened in Heywood’ revolves around a true story of three

Sikh brothers, who were all hawkers near the country town ofHeywood around the year 1900. One of the brothers was burntalive while sleeping in his wagon overnight - apparently thesehorse wagons were extremely flammable being made of woodand canvas, and would burn down completely in a matter of sec-onds, leaving someone sleeping inside with no possibility of es-cape.

The second brother Kahn Singh died in an accident when atree-branch fell on his head. The third surviving brother GandaSingh wanted to cremate Kahn’s dead body. But cremation wasillegal in those days (although it was legalized thereafter).

The play shows how the whole country town rallied together tomake sure that Kahn Singh received a befitting funeral in accor-dance with his own traditions. The play essentially captures thespirit of the local Australians who almost felt a sense of camarade-rie with Sikh hawkers, something that the Chinese and hawkers ofother nationalities rarely enjoyed.

The countryside of Victoria is now dotted with cremation sitesand headstones marking the spot where a hawker’s ashes wereburied after cremation.

(See photo of Gunga Singh’s headstone, which has a lengthyinscription in Punjabi and, beneath it, the English portion reads:“In loving memory of Gunga Singh, beloved son of Dava Singh,native of Poloolla, Punjab, India. Died 6th Sept 1901, aged 45years.”)

Apparently, if a hawker died and had no other relatives here, hishorse, cart, goods and wagon were auctioned off. With the moneyraised, the hawker would be cremated, the site marked with amemorial, and the remaining money would be sent back to Indiaalong with the ashes. Many death notices published in newspa-pers of more than a century ago indicate relocation of ashes to

India, ‘to be dis-persed in theGanges’, or ac-cording to the lastwishes of the de-ceased.

Hawking inthose days was alucrative business,but required a lot ofgrit and hard work.The sheer dis-tances betweentowns in Australiacould prove pro-hibitive for somepeople, but Sikhhawkers seemedto thrive on it. According to the records, 213 country licenses wereissued for hawkers in Hamilton alone, which is just one of thecountry towns of Victoria. It is mind-boggling to think of what theactual population of Sikh hawkers might have been Australia-wide,especially since there were many more Indians in New SouthWales compared to Victoria.

According to the Register of Births, Deaths and Marriages, 377people with the name ‘Singh’ died in New South Wales during theperiod 1898 - 1939. Therefore, it is anybody’s guess how manywere alive and working in that same period.

Typically a hawker would have to pay a bond of nearly $100upon entering the country. Then, before they began hawking, theyhad to go to court to obtain a permit, had to prove that they were ofgood character and needed to be debt-free. Then, they would ei-ther begin hawking on foot or on horse-drawn carts and pay anannual hawking fee.

A wagon (see photo) would have a large canvas hood, and theshelves would be stacked with wares to sell. There would be anelevated bed right in the middle of the wagon and more goodswere stored under it. Goods included dress material, laces, but-tons, threads, perfumes, footwear, jewellery, jewellery boxes,spices, utensils and evenindigenous medicine.

If a buyer couldn’t getwhat they wanted, theycould place an order andreceive what they neededwithin a day or two. Somehawkers made so muchmoney that they boughtsheep stations, land andproperty, while otherswere content with sending

Parivartan April 2014CA

the money back to Punjab.But the hawkers led very lonely lives - tramping repetitively on

country roads where the nearest town would be at least 100 kmsaway. Hardly any of them had their family here and they rarely inter-married locals. Letters were their only source of contact with fam-ily back home and they could go for a long time without speakingor hearing their native language, since each hawker had a specifi-cally marked territory to work in. They tended to form friendshipswith local country people and twice a year, all the hawkers con-verged at a pre-arranged spot where they spent a few weeks ofholidays together, typically during Christmas and Easter.

Sadly, there are some records of hawkers being assaulted ormurdered and also of some crimes committed by hawkers them-selves out of sheer frustration and loneliness. Many were evenadmitted to institutions in later life since they had no immediatefamily to take care of them.

But happily, the personal anecdotes and memories of goodtimes with these Punjabi pioneers outnumber the sad ones. Lo-cals all over country towns recall innumerable stories about indi-vidual Sikh hawkers with great fondness.

Eileen Tierney distinctly remembers Lucca Singh (probablyLakha), who had a very highly polished van, well fitted-out withshelves along each side and along the back. One section was forwomen’s wear exclusively, with a built-in, lift-out box for jewels andscents.

Recalls Tierney, “I can remember Lucca coming to our home atWando Vale when I was a child - it was a red letter day as every-body waited in great anticipation for Lucca to open his van onarrival.

He was the bearer of good news and bad. He traveled exten-sively and heard of all the district’s happenings. He would staysome weeks in each district and always had his special placeswhere he would stay for up to a fortnight at a time. He was a greatold fellow and as children, we loved him. He loved to play cards,liked to win and would play all night if necessary until he finallywon.”

Sikh History

Lucca Singh spent his last days in a tent close to the Peachfamily of Edenhope around the end of the Second World War SaysTierney, “Lucca lived a very long life. I think he must have had a lotof herbal remedies to back up his health. He had a brother in India.I can’t remember Lucca ever having to go to hospital until near theend of his life when he just became ill.”

He died in Casterton Hospital in 1943 and his ashes werespread in a nearby river on his request.

Then there was Sunda Singh (probably Sunder), who startedhis hawking career on foot, with his goods strapped in a bundle onhis back. Soon, he saved enough to buy a wagon and two horses,which gave him greater reach. After many years, he bought a farmnear Allestree. He paid for the local hospital at Portland to be painted,as a gesture of his gratitude to the people for the love they hadgiven him.

He died in Ballarat Hospital leaving behind his wife and familyin Raipur in India. By all accounts, he was dearly loved in thewhole of the district.

Another hawker, Indar Sondhu, was so wealthy that he do-nated land for the construction of Coleraine Shire offices - thatwas his way of saying thank you to the people of the area. Heset up a business in Coleraine and later owned shops and asheep station.

There are also stories about a famous Punjabi wrestler bythe name of Bagshot Singh. He wrestled at the Hotspur Showevery year and it is said that he had a great rivalry with a localwrestler called Mr. Edge. Bagshot Singh died at the age of 39 atHamilton Base Hospital and his ashes were sent to India.

So, as the stories and anecdotes abound, it’s truly amazingto sense the fondness with which these Sikh hawkers are re-membered, despite the deep-rooted racism that was

intitutionalised in Australian society during those days. The WhiteAustralia policy, although prevalent in spirit during the late19thcentury, was officially adopted by the Australian government in1901, which precluded migrants on the basis of their colour andrace.

Although the basis for exclusion was more subtle - prospectivemigrants were asked to take a language test and only those whopassed were allowed to migrate - the idea was to stop the influx ofAsian and even central European migrants to Australia.

Despite this, hundreds of Sikh hawkers continued to operateall over Australia, providing essential services to many countrytowns. Their wagons carried goods both mundane and exotic;their conversation carried the news of the day, both good and bad;their hearts bore goodwill that created long lasting friendshipsand their vibrant personalities brought colour into boring lives.Above all, they provided the country people a life-line as well as adream of the mystique of lands far beyond the shores of Australia.

We owe much to the enterprise and free spirit of these Sikhforefathers, and hope that they are accorded their rightful place inhistory. by Manpreet Kaur Singh

1. Celebrity tantrums in tinseltown arenot a new thing, here’s a look at

few other actors and their re-ported tantrums: - See more

at :The success of

'Aashiqui 2' has cata-pulted Shraddha Kapoor to fame and now the

actress expects to be treated like a star. Dur-ing shooting of 'Haider' in Kashmir, she

discovered that she was the only mem-ber of the cast who had not been put upin a suite. She too demanded a suite inthe hotel. The team had to then shift herto another five-star hotel, where she was

given a suite. But when she turned up forthe preparatory workshop next day, the ac-

tress was still sulking over the 'unfair' treat-ment.

2. On sets of Ek Tha Tiger SalmanKhan’s newest order is that no spot boyis supposed to come and fetch him for the shoot- he’ll be out of his van once he’sready. Of course, that means that the crew justhas to sit around and wait until he’s

decided it’s time to come out. Butwhile he keeps everyone waiting, you

can’t make him wait - so sched-uling shots with other actors becomesproblematic.

3. The pop diva Jennifer Lopez isknown to fly into a rage if her demandsaren’t met, which includes 250thread count sheets and dressing roomsdecorated expressly in white silk.4. One actor who’s constantly re-

ported to throw tantrums is the MallikaSherawat. She has even earned the reputa-tion of a tantrum queen. The actress also re-portedly insists that each shot be canned

until she thinks it’s perfect. Hernakhras have also got her the headlines.

5. Bipasha Basu, who owes her suc-cess in Bollywood to Bhatts, is appar-ently throwing starry tantrums in theirface. Buzz is after refusing the femalelead in Murder 2, Bips has also lost theitem number from the film. Reportedly,the actress was supposed to do an itemnumber for Murder 2, but she wanted onlya particular choreographer to do it. This

unreasonable demand enraged MukeshBhatt as the choreographer was asking ahigh price.

6. Once RiteishDeshmukh was fu-rious on the setsof a reality show

after he was made to shoot non-stop,without a single break. Around 11 pm atnight, the actor walked out of the sets andtold the producers that he thought that hisshift was over, and that it was pack up time.Needless to say, the rigorous timingsdidn’t suit him.

7. The former adult star Sunny Leone dis-played some of it recently during a shoot whenshe laid down the condition that she did notwant TV channels covering the shoot. Thephotoshoot organisers were in a spot as nor-mally there are tie-ups between them andchannels.

8. The Iron Man actress Gwyneth Paltrow fa-mously iced out Scarlett Johanson and once for-bade a journalist to shake her hand and offered herelbow instead.

9. During the shooting of Vipul Shah's Action Re-play Aishwarya Rai refused to get hermake up done with the internationalmake up artistes who were hired forthe film. The reason being shecouldn’t be comfortable withany other make up man except Ojas Rajani, herpersonal favorite.

10. Parineeti Chopra, 25, is already in‘industry bad books’ for turning uplate for brand endorsement shoots (a campaignwhere she has replaced actor Juhi Chawla), andalso for turning up late for media interactions.

11. If insiders are to be believed, then ArjunKapoor has put on airs ever since his debutfilm Ishaqzaade became a hit. The 27-year-oldactor reportedly refused to share a car during thepromotions of Aurangzeb. Even if he did so, he wouldmake them wait for hours before he turned up for thejourney ahead. Well, too much pride too soon!

2. Ayushmann Khurrana: seems to have takenhis awards too seriously. He opted out of KunalKohli’s production saying he would only workwith an A-list heroine. “This is a clear ex-ample of a newcomer overreaching himself. Thelittle boy evidently thinks he is an A-lister, what-

Parivartan April 2014 CCBollywood

ever that means,” Kohli says.13. During a promotional event Katrina Kaif was apparently so

exhausted that she fell into deepslumber without putting on her

seat belt. And when theairhostess tapped her to wake

her up she completely lost it."How dare you touch me?

Don't you know who I am?",is what she allegedly said to theairhostess. Poor flight attendant,she probably didn’t knowthat you’re not allowed totouch … what’s hername? Yes, Sheila ki jawani.

14. Kangana Ranaut travelswith her assistant everywhere.But while she travels first

class, her assistant travelseconomy class. That’s not the

problem. The problem arises when theairhostess would ask Kangana about

what she would like to eat or drinkand Kangana would simplyask her to direct all queriesto her assistant sitting inthe economy class. Thestewardess would then

have to go back and forthsearching for Kangana's as-sistant just to satisfyKangana’s food de-mands!

15. Anushka Sharma hasgone a step ahead to bag the

title 'tantrum queen'. When a cin-ematographer is setting up thelight, he makes the actors to stand

there so that the light falls properlyon their face and make them look

optimally beautiful. But MissSharma feels she is a diva.

The birdy from the crewsays, "On the setsof Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl,she sends one of herassistants of the sameheight to stand in for herto get the lighting right,as it’s a waste oftime for her. She doesn't

realise that it falls differently on every face.16. Charlie Sheen the Two And A Half Men star’s

work etiquette involves showing up hours late,raging at his directors and getting co-

stars fired.17. Oprah has given up on Lind-

say Lohan, apparently createdsuch a ruckus on thelatter’s reality show,that the popular chat showhost fumed, “This isjust what everyone warnedme would happen.”

18. Kareena KapoorKhan takes the cake whenit comes to throwing tantrums.Bebo put several conditions in

front of Madhur Bhandarkar be-fore she agreed to do his film Hero-

ine that she only wanted to work withA- listers. She flatly refused to do any

love-making scenes.The funny part is even after the

conditions were accepted,Kareena refused the movie

anyway. Why? Because shedidn’t like the scriptand asked Madhur to re-write it, again!

19. Ranveer Singhpassed a snide remark atactor Ranbir Kapoor at apromotional event when hesaid, “Rockstarsdie out!” Andthat’s not all, on a

recent flight to Kolkata, hewas rude to an air-hostess when

she said she didn’t have thenon-veg fare that Singh wanted. Healso lost out on an endorsement be-cause he didn’t want to goclean shaven.

20. Priyanka Chopra is appar-ently throwing tantrums on thesets of her upcoming movie -biopic on Mary Kom. She is in-terfering in the film-makingprocess and directorOmung Kumar is upsetwith her interference.
