    About this ebook

    I have many Sikh friends and they all are wonderful human beings. People try to associate so many funny incidents with them, but I believe that people talk about them because they are definitely different from others and their innocence and sincerity of heart, in general, exceeds all other virtues which the other people from different religious groups possess. It is true that the courage and bravery they possess have no peers in the past history of India and the rest of the world. It is not only surprising but also great to see that in any country and in any part of the world, you can see a Sikh very humbly and proudly performing his duties, without compromising his identity. They have become the living symbols of India.

    In this book I have Mr. Nihal Singh with me. Nihal means very satisfied and happy. The intention is not to hurt the feelings of any individual or a group. Any resemblance to names or events is quite incidental.

      Nihal Singh Goes to America

      Chapter 1: Introduction

      I have many Sikh friends and they all are wonderful human beings. People try to associate so many funny incidents with them, but I believe that people talk about them because they are definitely different from others and their innocence and sincerity of heart, in general, exceeds all other virtues which the other people from different religious groups possess. It is true that the courage and bravery they possess have no peers in the past history of India and the rest of the world. It is not only surprising but also great to see that in any country and in any part of the world, you can see a Sikh very humbly and proudly performing his duties, without compromising his identity. They have become the living symbols of India.

      In this book I have Mr. Nihal Singh with me. Nihal means very satisfied and happy. The intention is not to hurt the feelings of any individual or a group. Any resemblance to names or events is quite incidental.

      Chapter 2

      My friend Nihal Singh was from a middle class farmer family living near Chandigarh in Punjab state of India. Most of the young people in the area had just one dream, to fly to any of the Western countries to work and earn there. Nihal was not so good at studies but he was a very good farmer, a wonderful singer, a wrestler, and a very lovable human being. Before reaching 25th years of his life he had not stepped out of his village. Once he was called to Chandigarh but he was afraid that he would be lost there. He somehow managed to pass 12th standard from M.B.Inter College. I believe that the knowledge which was forcibly and deliberately put into his mind had the power to transform him to some extent.

      Suddenly, he started talking about going to America. Surprisingly, a distant relative from America, whose father used to live in that village, got ready to sponsor Nihal Singh.

      Soon the day arrived when he was to leave his motherland, India. I did not want him to feel helpless in Bombay whence he had to board his flight to New York. I accompanied him to Bombay and had a great week there with him before his departure.

      We had never seen a double-decker bus, so we managed to get into a double-decker bus. I somehow managed to get a bottom seat, but
