My friend is very proper in his writing and conduct.  He is highly educated and his grandfather or great-grandfather on his mother's side was a Sikh. He respects the Sikhs as warrior/saints (my words not his).  Sikhs are known through the world as courageous defenders of the weak and needy.  One of my friends, Peter, spent his youth traveling the world.  I asked him how he liked India.  He said he contract a disease within days of arriving and was bedridden the month he spent there. (So, as always, when traveling to another country, I personally would get all vacinations and take Metloquine or Marlarone if you plan on seeing the lower elevation parts of the country. I personally have always loved India even though I have never been there as I have also loved ancient China.I am learning much here at this site.  Best Wishes on learning Punjabi.  I have my hands full with Hebrew, but I am learning some of the Sikh Prayers in Punjabi via transliteration and translation.  :welcome: Sa'ad</blockquote>
