Impressions are almost impossible to avoid if one pays a minimum attention to daily news.
I was stirring the pot of left- overs for dinner. Butter chicken with Naam bread. The chicken is rich,flavourful and appetizing. A combination of meat with vegetables and savoury sauce
improves with melding of flavours.
Naam bread is nice and has become better value. Crusty,chewy Italian country loaves
we're/are a favourite thensupermarkets started churning out light spongy look-alikes at higher cost.
Anyway, as I stirred the pot of savoury Indian food,cooked last night by grand-daughter Stephanie,
I had another Sikh recollection. First there was the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Ghandi by her Sikh Bodyguard. The there was the plane that exploded over the sea off the coast of Ireland. They picked up a baby shoe, a feeding bottle and a tatty little doll from debris in the ocean.
After that, a young woman I knew, with small children, abandoned by an abusive husband in Vancouver was evicted by her Sikh landlord because the house was rented to a man.
Finally, Jag Bhaduria a Federal Liberal Member of Parliament for a Markham Riding was expelled by Jean Chrétien for bring disrepute to the Party. He had written threatening letters to school board officials because he was not hired for a position advertised.
Media reported he had a landlord/tenant record of disregarding building hazard orders .
Several petitions were collected by riding voters to have the seat vacated. But he stayed on.
He sought the Liberal nomination in the next election with turbaned Sikh supporters surrounding
him in media photographs.
One must assume his conduct was acceptable to his Sikh supporters.
It did not impress me.
