The turBAN issue

So, Today is January 27th, 2008 and almost all of India celebrated their Independence Day yesterday. Congratulations to India. But yesterday (well, this weekend really) was also the day French Prime President Nicolas Sarkozy visited India to take part in the celebrations and talk about things like weapons, nuclear cooperation, and alliances and what not.

Having said all that, my point is this. The Indian Prime Minister, Mr. Manmohan Singh, sat and conversed with this French Gentleman and enjoyed his company and loved having him over, (with his old school pagh on ofcourse), While sikh high school kids (among other sikhs applying for official government documents) are asked to remove their turbans or be expelled from school in France.

I don't know about you, but it doesn't make too much sense to me.

Manmohan Singh is not unaware about the issue at all, he was made aware of the situation by the SGPC and many other Sikh organizations and was urged to make sure he addresses this issue.

So with that being said (yeah, i dont like to write that much), G.N.E. has just finished recording a track called "turBAN" which takes you inside the world of a Sikh high school kid living in france. We are also working on a Music video for this track as well, expect to see the finished products in the next few months.
