Dedications

Most Indian jokes needs a Sardar character as the butt of the joke. A community that never got touchy or sensitive but stood their ground for who they are and in pride with their dress code of religion. To the extent many countries where armed troops and police require an uniformed look, the government respected the Sardar head gear. 

One of the biggest scams in the Urban Cooperative Sector in India, was the Punjab & Maharashra Cooperative Bank Scam. Hundreds of PMC Bank depositors killed with no access to their money. Few suicides and over 5 years of injustice. In the depth of grief, sorrow and anguish of the surviving depositors, it is the Sardar community that is now leading from front on the legal battle ground to ensure justice.

One of the main coordinators leading the battle is Sardar Gurjyot Singh and someone who honors me accepting me as his brother. President of the Sikhs in Maharashtra and affiliated to Sharad Pawar Sir's political party The Nationalist Congress Party. Sharad Pawar Sir and his party stood by PMC Bank supporters right from the beginning with Madam Supriya Sule even voicing the pain and concern in Parliment.

Gurjyot has given the battle cry on the legal battle field. He is not even a PMC Bank Despositor, but is depositing his love, courage and dedication for the PMC Bank depositors. Such is the heart of the Sardar community
