A Mourn for Punjab
The writing has long been on the wall, but the day seems to be drawing closer. Writers and political analysts see the coronation of Kaka Badal (Sukhbir) as soon approaching. It was only last year that Kaka Badal had a position created just for him – Deputy Chief Minister. Insiders in the present government see undertaking underway to begin the transition from his father to himself.
The ground is prepared for smooth transition of succession to the junior Badal. Presently both father and son are out of India to stay with Mrs. Chief Minister-Surinder Kaur Badal-who is suffering from cancer and ade\mitted in a hospital in New York in USA.
Parkash Singh Badal who became the Chief Minister of state fourth time in 2007 is keen to hand over the command of government to his son before the end of his present term. The advisors to the Chief Minister understood to have impressed upon Badal to change the guard by the end of 2010. The next assembly election in Punjab is due in February 2012. The logic is the change will eliminate anti-incumbency factor. [link]
As the once-“Sikh” party now officially becomes nothing more than an instrument of cronyism (granted unofficially this has been the case since at least the 1970s), those that care about Punjab are left to mourn.
Here on young Sikh man cries out asking and pleading what to do for Punjab.
Are there any answers?

Sat Sri Akal,
"hmm due these culprits our religion is not spreading. these people concentrate only on money "
Unfortunate. But I am a white American, and I have adopted Sikhi. Despite the best efforts of some Manmukhs in Punjab, they can not stop the message of The Gurus. Punjab will rise again, who knows when, but in the meantime, Sikhi will grow in foreign lands.
Fateh and don't lose hope.

Sikhism may indeed grow and change in foreign lands and hands, and is as 5th largest faith / religion survive..but re the question of Punjab, sad as it is to admit, maybe the white man was better at honest adminstration and progress…a song of Rafi's, Ji karda Ae duniya nu mai has kay thokar mar diya comes to mind…Punjabis themselves have allowed a dynasty to grow…they will have to change their own ways, if they actually care…

[…] contemporary Punjab, when crooks rule the halls of power in Chandigarh or even the SGPC offices in Amritsar have become the dens of thieves, we turn to another. For […]

Prof Mann…. shabash terey Babbu. you are now out to discredit a figure who is widely respected as a great indian freedom fighter. The episodes leading to Lala's death are well-documented. You have managed to discredit not only LLR but also Bhagat Singh and his comrades with your senseless sacrilege. Or maybe it was not 'senseless' and u were catering to a target audience of jatt supremacists. after all how many 'lalas' are there to buy your 'reelan'. who next? religious icons of other faiths? if you ask me to describe B Mann in one word that would be PATHETIC.
