1) Introduction

This we believe, is an inspiring story. Every time we read it, we get new emotions. I have read it once, twice, thrice, perhaps, even more times. This true story motivates the reader to be a true Sikh. It seems as fresh today as it was thirty years ago.

Dr. Brij Pal Singh is one of the five Asians who was awarded a doctoral study scholarship by Government of Greece in 1976-77. He was in Athens from 1977 to 1980.

Dr. Brij Pal Singh worked as Professor of Economics from 1984 to 1996 at Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration, Mussoorie that trains top administrators of Government of India.

BookPalz is an innovative, non-profit venture to spread the universal message of Sri Guru Granth Sahib. We are publishing this story with the hope that it will inculcate the much-needed devotion and zeal amongst Sikh youth to live the Sikh way, which is the best that one can get in this life.

Thanks to our Guru, we are Sikhs. Let His blessings and benedictions be showered upon all. I pray that no one is left with an imperfect Sikh presentation.

I, also, sincerely appreciate the efforts of S. Jaswinder Singh Khalsa, Manchester, U.K. and Sukrit Trust for taking this message to Sikh youth across the globe.

Very nicely written article named a Sikh in Greece which shows what a Sikh should be. I was in International Merchant Marine myself & went all around the world in original Sikh identity intact. People in Argentina,Brazil, South Africa, Japan etc. always smiled & asked from where & what religion I belong to where it is menditory to wear turban & keep all hairs intact.I was always proud to tell everyone that I am Sikh from India whereas no one will ever bother those so called Monas who claim to be Sikhs, as they have no identity.Guru Gobind Singh Ji gave us AMRIT & proper identity which makes us exceptional. Awareness about our Sikh identity is the need of the day & more such articles of personal experiences should be published in the eletronic media .
