• United Sikhs Files Criminal Complaint Against Punjab Police for the Unlawful Removal of a Sikh's Turban and Demands Accountability From the India Government

MOHALI, Punjab, March 31, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- UNITED SIKHS' counsel from Chandigarh, Sukhwinder Singh, today filed a criminal complaint under Section 295 A of the Indian Penal Code regarding the forcible removal of a Sikh's turban by a Punjab Police officer who was acting on the instructions of a police superintendent.

• Afghanistan Is Obama's Gordian Knot

PARIS - Useful advice can be found in the past. Gordius, King of Phrygia (in modern Turkey), tied an intricate knot, ever since called the Gordian Knot. An oracle told Alexander the Great that whoever could untie it would master Asia. Alexander drew his sword and slashed the knot.

The oracle should have known that the mastery of Asia ultimately belongs to Asians.
