Jaloose '07: first impressions

I had the good furtune of experienceing about 30 minutes of the Nagar Social. My First Reaction: WOW.

What a difference a few years and power shifting makes. It was a few years ago that the Club D heads did not wish to upset the government and have pictures of Shaheeds displayed on floats or even in the langar hall. Yes I'm talking about slogans of Khalistan too, oh and also pictures of Shaheed Bhai Talvinder Singh Babbar. That year I wasnt feeling well enough to attend but i could hear the roar of helicopter blades overhead for almost the entire day, while i did 5-6 Sukhmani sahib paaths. That year the beizati level had reached an all time high. Khalsa School floats were taken out of the procession as a protest measure.

Anyway, just one picture is enough to illustrate the change of stands of the club D management.
