I have very rarely witnessed the mention of the coins of the Sikhs whenever there is a mention of Sikh Studies. I still fail to apprehend the reason for keeping our present and future generations unaware of these "Symbols of Sikh Sovereignty".

Grewal November 23rd, 200 9at 2:53 pm I have myself witnessed an exciting and challenging career of Dr. Pashaura Singh because I was involved with him in establishing the Sikh Studies Chair at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. We started the endowment drive in 1982. Dr. Singh has not mentioned the lessons learnt from the community interference in establishing these Sikh Chairs for obvious reasons. But I would like to remind the Sikhs living in the Western countries to keep in mind two things: 1. Universities in USA are autonomous and do not appreciate any outside interference from any one in their internal affairs of appointments etc. 2. It is not easy to collect funds from Sikhs at large for these chairs unless there is only one donor. Sikhs do give money in establishing the Gurdwaras under the superstition of progress in spirituality or blessings of the Grace from the Guru by doing so, but not for the Sikh Studies chairs. The academic programs are the only way to open up Sikh faith to the west. Dr. Pashaura Singh, please keep up the good work and stay in touch. Virinder S. Grewal
