“I wanted to make sure Downing Street was part of this too, and I’m proud to be the first Prime Minister to host a Vaisakhi reception at Number 10,” he added.

It is not the first time Mr Cameron has visited a sikh temple. In February he met worshippers at the Gurdwara SahibTemple in Leamington, Warwickshire.

And in 2013 he visited the Indian holy site of the Golden Temple of Amritsar, where he stopped short of fulfilling the Sikh community’s demand for an apology over the 1919 massacre of nearly 400 civilians at the hands of British soldiers.

लखविंदर चिल्लाती रही, पुलिस ने कत्ल हो जाने दिया!

मैं इसके साथ नहीं जाऊंगी…। यह मुझे मार डालेगा…। मौत से कुछ घंटे पहले महंत इंदिरेश अस्पताल सामने सड़क पर लोगों के बीच बिलखते हुए लखविंदर यही कह रही थी। रिश्तों के भंवर में फंसी लखविंदर को समाज से मदद की उम्मीद थी, लेकिन लोग पुलिस पर जिम्मेदारी छोड़कर किनारे हो गए। लोगों की सूचना […]

मैं इसके साथ नहीं जाऊंगी…। यह मुझे मार डालेगा…। मौत से कुछ घंटे पहले महंत इंदिरेश अस्पताल सामने सड़क पर लोगों के बीच बिलखते हुए लखविंदर यही कह रही थी।

रिश्तों के भंवर में फंसी लखविंदर को समाज से मदद की उम्मीद थी, लेकिन लोग पुलिस पर जिम्मेदारी छोड़कर किनारे हो गए। लोगों की सूचना पर पुलिस के दो जवान तो आए, मगर मदद करने के बजाए समझौता कराकर चले गए। पुलिसकर्मी यदि लखविंदर को कानूनी सुरक्षा देते तो उसकी जान बच जाती।

हरिद्वार में कथित तौर पर जलाकर मारी गई विवाहिता लखविंदर की मौत के लिए जितना दोषी उसका पति और परिवार है उससे कहीं अधिक पटेलनगर थाने की पुलिस है। पुलिस वालों से लखविंदर बार बार कह रही थी उसका पति उसकी हत्या कर देगा। वह उसके साथ नहीं जाएगी, लेकिन पुलिसकर्मियों यह कहकर पल्ला झाड़ लिया कि यह घरेलू विवाद है। आपस में सुलह कर लो।

हरिद्वार जिले के रानीपुर थाना क्षेत्र के औंरगाबाद निवासी गुरमीत की पत्नी लखविंदर कौर को सोमवार रात जली अवस्था में दून के कोरोनेशन अस्पताल में भर्ती कराया गया था, जहां उसकी मौत हो गई।

मुजफ्फरनगर के गांधी कॉलोनी निवासी लखविंदर के परिजनों का आरोप है कि गुरुमीत दून में रहता है। सोमवार रात को विवाद के कारण लखविंदर पति की चलती बाइक से कूद गई थी। महंत इंदिरेश अस्पताल के सामने वह काफी देर तक अपने बचाव के लिए लोगों से मदद की गुहार लगाई थी। मौके पर लोगों का जमावड़ा भी लग गया था।

लखविंदर पति के साथ जाने को तैयार नहीं थी। आरोप है कि हंगामे की सूचना पर इंदिरेश अस्पताल स्थित पुलिस चौकी के सिपाही आए थे। पुलिसकर्मियों ने लखविंदर की आशंका को गंभीरता से नहीं लिया।

दोनों को बातचीत की नसीहत देकर चलता कर दिया। परिजनों का आरोप है कि यदि उस समय पुलिस कार्रवाई करती तो लखविंदर की जान बच जाती। हालांकि, पटेलनगर पुलिस का कहना है कि यह आपसी विवाद था।

The turban signifies sovereignty, dedication, self-respect, courage and piety for Sikh followers, as stated by the Sikh Coalition. Gurkamal Deep Singh, computer science graduate student, said the Sikh community at UTA spent the afternoon tying turbans on students and talking to students about the Sikh religion to help create awareness about their culture.

Nearly 25 million people worldwide, and approximately 500,000 people in America, practice the Sikh religion, making Sikh the fifth largest religion in the world, according to the Sikh Coalition.

Ravneet Singh, computer science graduate student, said about 99 percent of people who wear turbans in America follow the Sikh religion. He said the Sikh community on campus wants to help the UTA community learn more about the religion and not confuse it with extremist groups.

“There have been attacks on Sikhs. They have been thought about as Taliban, so we wanted to spread more awareness,” Singh said. “This is our culture and this is our values. How are we different?”

Sukmbir Singh, computer science graduate student, said it’s becoming more of a choice for followers to choose to wear a turban, and not all followers wear one. He said men have the surname Singh, meaning lion, which derives from the ancestors being warriors, and women carry the surname Kaur, meaning princess.

Singh said the Sikh religion was formed out of Hinduism to protect the innocent. With corruption within the Hindu caste hierarchy, Sikhs turned to the teachings of Guru Nanak rejecting religious formalism in favor of hard work necessary to maintain a community’s needs.
