There are about three hundred such Argentine Singhs… mostly in
Salta and other northern provinces of Argentina.
 I met about seventy of
them in the Gurudwara at Rosario de la Frontera, a small town of 35000 people in
Salta province. I joined their Baishaki Day celebrations on 20 April. There were
prayers and ceremonies conducted by a Granthi, who has been brought from India.
There was a community lunch prepared by the ladies and was served by the men.
The Gurudawara is clean, beautiful and inspires divine feelings. They have get
togethers on Sundays and there are large gatherings on special religious
occasions. Mr Charan Singh who came thirty years back from India is the
president of the Gurudwara committee.This is the only Gurudwara in South
America.

 It’s a nondescript temple at Halhalia village in Bihar’s Araria district. It doesn’t have an idol; a mound of earth in one corner of the roofless one-room shrine represents Din Bhadri Devi, the local deity. Its walls are bare, but for priest Amlanand Rishidev, there is a more pressing problem than the upkeep of the temple: there is no one to inherit his priesthood. Halhalia village is home to over 100 families of which 28 have converted to Sikhism. |

 Vancouver police investigators have confirmed that a fire at a Sikh school on Thursday was deliberately set, and they are appealing to the public for assistance in locating a possible witness.
The fire spread quickly and destroyed the Khalsa School near the intersection of Fraser Street and 45th Avenue in East Vancouver. There were no injuries.
A staff member entered the school Thursday morning and called 911 when she smelled smoke. As she made the call, a second woman ran up to the school, pulled the fire alarm and yelled at the staff member to get out, Vancouver police Const. Jana McGuinness said in news release Friday. |
