[edit] This Is Not Naius
The IP address group that was blocked here is for Saddleback Community College in California. I am user Youngidealist and I came on today to make a request on a discussion page and I cannot even get a new password request to my email because this IP has been blocked. I understand the reasons why Georgewilliamherbert had to block this page, and though justified, I think that unless a few restrictions could be removed (such and being unable to contribute to a discussion or get my password request) the good of blocking this IP might not be worth the loss. Many Professors at Saddleback College allow us to reference Wikipedia as a source of information and networking through the internet. Many of us therefore hold great potential in understanding and contributing to wikipedia.68.231.200.13 (talk) 05:54, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sikhs in Kenya
Sikhs have been migrating to East Africa since 1890's. They established themselves as a very hard working, honest, religious and skilled community.
When the British became involved in India, the Sikhs became a vital part of the Indian Army. It was as soldiers that many came to Kenya to police the colonies and, later, to serve as guards in the building of the railroad. Thousands of other Sikhs also came then as professionals, and skilled workers. After the railroad was completed a few opted to remain in Kenya where they set themselves up as entrepreneurs in their skills. They especially excelled in mechanics, which they continue today along with electrical work, construction professions and many other skills. Some went back to their farming skills, especially around Lake Victoria.
Sikhs are located in major towns all over Kenya. Sikhs in Kenya are estimated by different sources to have a population of 7000 to 21,000. The majority of the Sikh population live in Nairobi.
There are 37 Sikh temples in Kenya. The Sikh temple at Makindu, one of the many in Kenya, has become a landmark and exemplifies their open-door policy. Anyone may eat and sleep in their rest houses.
[edit] Sikhs in Singapore
In 1849, after the British conquered the Indian state of Punjab, many Punjabis began to migrate overseas, to places such as Singapore. The British decided to recruit Sikh migrants as security forces in the Straits Settlements. The first wave of Sikhs to land in Singapore came in the form of sepoys (policemen) in 1873 brought by the British to help keep the peace and put down the Chinese gang wars. The early Sikhs were employed as watchmen, policemen or dairy farmers. Sikhs began to arrive in Singapore in 1881, to form a Sikh Contingent of the Straits Settlements police force.
It was only after the Second World War that they established themselves as traders or businessmen in the community in High Street, mainly dealing in textiles. Today there are about 15,000 Sikhs in Singapore.
The Central Sikh Temple was built to commemorate the 518th anniversary of Guru Nanak, the first Sikh guru. The temple boasts a skilful blend of modern and traditional architecture. The Guru Granth Sahib, or holy book, is enshrined in a magnificent prayer hall which has a 13-metre wide dome.
In 1931, a group of young Sikhs got together and formed the Khalsa Association. This group included Tara Singh, Wazir Singh, Choor Singh, Bhag Singh, Sohan Singh (Kadoo) Randhawa, Hardit Singh Karmuwalla, Terlok Singh, Mahambir Singh, Durga Das Singh, Dewan Singh Randhawa and Teja Singh. The first clubhouse was in a padang (field) at the end of St.Georges Road. It was a wooden hut. In those days, the members found it difficult even to pay the salary of the caretaker.
As more and more Sikhs joined the association, things livened up. After the Second World War, the association moved to Jalan Bahagia where a proper clubhouse was built. There was a good field for games and for the yearly fun fair, the Punjabi Mela. Some years later, the government offered a site in Tessensohn Road with compensation for the old building. A building committee was formed with Justice Choor Singh as chairman. The new clubhouse could never have been built without the untiring efforts of the committee which comprised of Jaswant Singh Gill, Sadhu Singh Khaira, Khushal Singh, Sardara Singh, Dewan Singh Randhawa, Mukhtiar Singh Matta and Tharam Singh.
Our boys have always done well in sports, winning the league championship and knockout competition in hockey many times. In cricket, we used to less well. Besides the then Punjabi School housed in the clubhouse, Tae Kwon Do and Karate lessons were also conducted there. The club is still used for weddings and dinner parties.
The Sikh Community has always taken an active part in all the National Day Celebrations by sending a contingent of marchers to the Parade under the banner of the Singapore Khalsa Association. In one of the National Day Float Competitions, we won the Best Cultural Float Prize and we were awarded the Silver Cup. For this winning effort, we have to thank Satwant Singh Bath, Pritam Singh Malli, Dharam Singh Dler, Terlochan Singh and Harbans Singh for their hard work. The Bhangra Dancers in the march past used to be a great hit with the spectators. On one wet day the caption in The Straits Times with a picture of the dancers read : The dance of joy in the streets of Singapore.
