Sikhpoint Recognizes Best Comment of the Month

Dear Sikhpoint Readers,

We have completed our first full month since the launch of Sikhpoint. We are encouraged by the number of readers the site is drawing. Many of you have communicated with me directly. I thank you for your congratulatory notes, words of encouragement and offers to collaborate.

Several young writers have submitted proposals for articles and are currently working on completing their stories. We welcome original works with diverse viewpoints. Anything of interest to Sikhs around the world is good material for an article. We are interested in personal stories that inspire, educate or stimulate discussions on contemporary issues.

We would like to see your comments on the articles. Some of you have provided feedback that it is a bit complicated to leave comments. If you are facing any difficulty, please reach out to us and a member of our editorial team will be happy to assist you.

Every month we will select ‘the best comment of the month. ‘The best comment of the year” will receive two complimentary tickets to the Sikhlens Film Festival’s gala. (Value $1000). For 2013, we will make a half-yearly selection in the month of November.

The best comment for the month of July has been posted by Jagdeep Singh Mangat. Congratulations Jagdeep, and please keep sharing your insights with us.

 Please subscribe to the newsletter to stay tuned. And do stay in touch.

Guru Raakha always,
Jessi Kaur
