The Indianapolis Mayor Bart Peterson visited<br />
the Sikh Temple on Acton Road on Sunday,<br />
October 7th for the second time in four years.<br />
The Mayor was accompanied by the City's Faith-<br />
Based Coordinator, Ms. Marquisha Bridgeman.<br />
In a stunning surprise, the Mayor had brought a<br />
special Proclamation for one of our own, a<br />
beloved long-time tireless sevaks, Avtar Singh.<br />
The Proclamation read by the Mayor himself<br />
highlighted Avtar's many services to the Hoosier<br />
Sikh Community and dedication to many worthy projects in and out side the<br />
Sikh American community over the last 37 years. The Honorable Mayor also<br />
participated in presenting a special and the First SEWA AWARD on behalf of<br />
the Sikh Satsang of Indianapolis to Avtar Singh for his distinguished service<br />
to the Sikh Satsang and growing Hoosier Sikh community.<br />
Avtar Singh, the humble and unassuming sevak and a community elder was<br />
deeply moved by this unexpected outpouring of love by the Sikh community<br />
and Satsang leadership. Avtar was especially touched by the extraordinary<br />
honor in the Mayor's Proclamation declaring October 7, <strong>2007</strong> as Avtar Singh<br />
Day in Indianapolis.<br />
Mayor Bart Peterson was presented with an inscribed copy of the elegant<br />
book, “The Illustrated History of the Sikhs” by Khushwant Singh, by<br />
Satsang President, Harpreet Sandhu and Satsang Trustee, Maninder Walia.<br />
Giani Pritam Singh, Head Priest of The Sikh Temple on Acton Road,<br />
presented The Honorable Mayor an Indian Shawl on behalf of the Sangat and<br />
during the Ardas (prayer and supplication) prayed for honored guest's health<br />
and success in discharging his duties and awesome responsibility as our<br />
Mayor. http://www.nriinternet.com/NRIsikhs/USA/ARTICLES/K<br />

India second largest<br />
investor in UK<br />
Making a quantum jump, India has<br />
emerged this year as the second<br />
largest investor in the UK, next<br />
only to the US. This was stated by<br />
India's Acting High Commissioner<br />
Asoke Mukherji at a reception<br />
organised to celebrate the Silver<br />
Jubilee of the Friends Circle<br />
International organisation at Hilton<br />
Waldorf here. He said hardly three<br />
years ago India was the sixth<br />
investor in the UK. "The increase<br />
and intensity of economic activity<br />
reflected the buoyant Indian<br />
economy."<br />
Mukherji thanked the 1.5 million<br />
NRI community in Britain for its<br />
role in bringing the two countries<br />
together. He said on an average half<br />
a million people from Britain<br />
visited India every year and an<br />
equal number of Indians travelled<br />
to the UK. Lord Swraj Paul,<br />
founder member of the Friends<br />
Circle International, who has just<br />
returned after a fortnight long visit<br />
to India, said "India has changed a<br />
lot in the last five years." He was all<br />
praise for the way the 53rd<br />
Commonwealth Parliamentary<br />
Conference was held in New Delhi<br />
last month which he attended,<br />
saying the arrangements made for<br />
the 1400 people at the meet could<br />
be compared to the best anywhere<br />
in the world and complimented Lok<br />
Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee<br />
and his team for organising it in<br />
such a grand scale.
