Socio Cultural Problems encountering Sikh Sangat

Sikhs residing the world over are facing four acute problems which are as under :

APOSTASY
The Sikh youth of Punjab has gone crazy to imitate the reel heroes of filmi world and feel proud looking like those. The first thing which they feel impedes their imitating process is their hair. Therefore behaving whimsically they have started shearing their hair and thus are devastating their proud heritage. To stop this epidemic and to acquaint the Sikh progeny about the glorious past and respect for hair, the Trust has published a very special book titled 'Kes Guru di Mohar' on Sikh lines. The book has proved panacea for the above said ill. 64 page book is easily readable in one sitting but its effects are ever lasting. You read and Judge yourself.

DRUG ADDICTIONS
Punjab which is known in folk-lores as a land of blooming youth is now under severe grip of drug addiction. Alas! Sikh youth has tasted tobacco in its different forms, They gallop spirits as mineral water and have gone to the extent to use lizards as their addiction dose. Iodex, Shoe polish, phensidryl, deadly capsules have taken place in their daily menu. The youthfulness of Punjab is eclipsed. Morality and conduct are being impaired and spiritualism is vanishing like a setting Sun. To combat this abnormal situation, the Trust has published very thought provoking book 'Gurmet And Nashe i.e. Addiction' which has brought a definite change in the minds of affected persons and general readers. We wish to publish this book in huge quantity to make it available to every crumbling house in the state and also aspire to print it in Hindi and English too for wider circulation.

IDENTITY CRISES OF THE SIKHS
Inspite of century long habitat in countries of their adoption, the Sikhs could not create a niche to make aware the fellow beings about their religion, culture and way of life. The result is before us which we faced when so-called Talibans and Arabs damaged American installations. In a fit of anger, the Americans vandalized and tortured Sikhs, mistaking them as Arabs and Talibans for their Turbans and Beards. This unnecessary harassment is a sort of a challenge for the Sikhs which provides them an opportunity to apprise the world as who they are. Alag Shabad Yug Trust has left no stone unturned in providing sufficient information in a small book titled 'Mistaken Identity of the Sikhs'. The book makes the reader feel that the Sikhs are the most unique persons in the world who keep in mind the order of the Guru 'Sab Ko Meet Hum Aapan Kina Hum Sabna Ke Sajaan' i.e. we befriend everybody and live friendly with each one. 132 page book is worth reading. It is also available in Panjabi. Till now its five deluxe editions have been released.
