AN APOLOGY
In the February issue of "filmindia" it has been published in a iighter vein that the Sikhs use 'huqqa' to protect their beards.
I have since learnt that the use of tobacco in any form is forbidden in the Sikh religion as one of the main 'Kurahts'. I deeply regret the mistake and apologize to the Sikhs if I have unwittingly hurt their religious susceptibilities.
Baburao Patel.
