Surrey, BC (KP) - A scholarship, named Guru Granth Sahib Scholarship, has been established at the Kwantlen University College. The scholarship has been established by a Kwantlen University business student Inderpal Singh Gill with help from local Sikhs who donated $10,000.
The establishment of this scholarship has come at the right time as the Sikh Community is commemorating the 300th anniversary of Guru Granth Sahib Ji’s Gurtagaddi (Guruship).
The Kwantlen University College Foundation appreciated the handiwork of Inderpal Singh Gill and announced that they will match the sum of $10,000 invested by the Sikh Community. The total amount of $20,000 will be awarded to twenty individuals in sums of $1000 each who commit their time in selfless service for charitable organizations.
The commendable work by Inderpal Singh Gill should work to set precedents for Sikh organizations based worldwide. Establishing similar scholarships will undoubtedly bring a positive image for the Sikhs in the media along with increasing awareness of the Sikh religion.
Inderpal Singh Gill is an admirable member of the British Columbia Sikh Community. He has toured several Gurdwaras in North America organizing Gurmat camps. He takes an active part at the Guru Nanak Academy in Surrey, which was founded by Bhai Parminder Singh for increasing Gurmat Parchar for the Sikh Youth.
Buta Sinh arrested in scam case!
No, this is not the latest SikhToon– it’s a story that was published in Ajit Jalandhar! (Read the caption)
Picture of Buta Singh from a recent edition of Ajit Jalandar, the caption reads (translated): “The arrested culprits of S.B.I. Bank scam”.
Without a doubt every Sikh would like to see Buta Sinh, former Union Home Minister, behind bars and the daily published Punjabi newspaper somewhat brought the dream of every Sikh to reality. Well, to the extent of being published in the media at least.
The caption was obviously a mistake, but it brought cheers and the hope of the possibility… the possibility of seeing Panthic-dhusts punished.
