Book Review : Fighting for Sikh Causes in Indian Parliament
The Sikh Bulletin, USA, 2022
Prof. Hardev Singh Virk has done a yeoman's service as an Editor to publish the speeches delivered by four eminent Sikh parliamentarians who fought for the Sikh Causes in the Indian Parliament. In the Foreword to the book, Vikramjit Singh Sahney has outlined the background of the current project. Herein, he points out that both Hukam Singh and Kapur Singh made outstanding contributions in highlighting the majoritarian bias against the minorities in the Indian Parliament. In addition, Khushwant Singh and Tarlochan Singh recapitulated the events leading to the Sikh genocide and its aftermath by presenting the Sikh Cause assiduously.
Good Governance : A Perspective from Sri Guru Granth Sahib
The Sikh Bulletin, USA, 2022
Governance includes the processes by which organizations are directed, controlled and held to account. Excellence can be achieved when good governance principles and practices are applied throughout the entire organization. Various forms of governance are in vogue. Ethical governance demands that public officials stick to high moral standards while serving others. Authentic governance necessitates the systematic process of continuous, gradual, and routine personal and corporate improvement that leads to sustainable high performance. Thus it represents the ability to discern right from wrong and the commitment to doing right, good, and proper. Finally, benevolent governance is considered to be for the benefit of the whole population. Sikhism, a panentheistic religion, is one of the youngest and fifth major world religions, founded by Guru Nanak. The fundamental beliefs of Sikhism have been enshrined in the sacred scripture, Sri Guru Granth Sahib (SGGS) [1-3]. Moreover, Sri Guru Grant Sahib provides valuable insights for governance through religious or secular organizations that address human rights, education, or diplomacy to end all forms of disparity and discrimination among people [4-5]. Herein, an attempt is made to describe the doctrines of Sikhism that encourage us for better governance. It is concluded that most of the attributes of good, ethical, authentic and benevolent governance are genuinely supported by the Sikh doctrines. Furthermore, the adherence to democratic and republican organizations for providing high-quality governance is encouraged in Sikh principles and practices.
Shahmukhi to Gurmukhi Transliteration System: A Corpus based Approach
Research in Computing Science (Mexico), 2008
Abstract. This research paper describes a corpus based transliteration system for Punjabi language. The existence of two scripts for Punjabi language has created a script barrier between the Punjabi literature written in India and in Pakistan. This research project has developed a new system for the first time of its kind for Shahmukhi script of Punjabi language. The proposed system for Shahmukhi to Gurmukhi transliteration has been implemented with various research techniques based on language corpus. The corpus ...

In this manuscript handwritten Gurmukhi character recognition for isolated characters is proposed. We have used some statistical features like zonal density, projection histograms (horizontal, vertical and both diagonal), distance profiles (from left, right, top and bottom sides). In addition, we have used background directional distribution (BDD) features. Our database consists of 200 samples of each of basic 35 characters of Gurmukhi script collected from different writers. These samples are pre-processed and normalized to 32*32 sizes. SVM, K-NN and PNN classifiers are used for classification. The performance comparison of features used in different combination with different classifiers is presented and analysed. The highest accuracy obtained is 95.04% as 5-fold cross validation of whole database using zonal density and background distribution features in combination with SVM classifier used with RBF kernel.

Despite the advancements in Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technologies, problem of Indic script character recognition remains challenging. Especially in case of handwritten characters the challenges are even more. In this work, we focus on off-line recognition of handwritten characters of Gurmukhi, an Indic script commonly used in state of Punjab in India. As a part of this work, we collected a Gurmukhi character dataset of 3500 images. This dataset is collected from 10 writers. We propose a combined horizontal and vertical projection feature extraction scheme for recognition of Gurmukhi characters. We have tested our method on the collected dataset and achieved a high character recognition accuracy of 98.06%.
