Dear friends,
On behalf of the Ontario PC Caucus, I would like to extend my
warmest greetings to all the members of the Rajasthan
Association of North America Canada (RANA).
Last year, I was honoured to be RANAs guest at your Diwali
Milan. Like so many of the events organized by RANA from
India Independence Day celebrations to charitable fundraisers
the Diwali Milan brought together many people from Ontarios
Rajasthani-Canadian community, providing younger and older
generations an opportunity to spend time with each other while
welcoming people from our provinces broader community.
I had the chance to meet with many outstanding leaders in your
community and see first-hand the strong entrepreneurial spirit and business acumen that has
had a large, positive impact on Ontario. Across the province, Rajasthani-Canadians are running
successful businesses, creating jobs for Ontarians and giving back to the community.
I know we share the same goals. We want to grow the economy and stand up for small
businesses. We believe in balanced budgets and a smaller government a government that
encourages businesses to grow and create jobs by reducing red tape and ensuring business
taxes are competitive with other jurisdictions.
We believe that we can create a more prosperous future for our families and for all Ontarians.
This years RANA magazine provides a great way to reflect upon past accomplishments of
Ontarios Rajasthani-Canadian community, while looking forward to new opportunities.
To everyone involved with RANA, I would like to congratulate you on a successful past year,
and wish you the best during the upcoming year.
Sincerely,
Sincerely,
SNAT

Once again, RANA Canada had a remarkable year of achievement. As the Honorary Patron for
RANA Canada, it has been my pleasure to work closely with members of the association and to
create strong bonds of friendship and cooperation.
This year, RANA is one of the sponsors of the 12th National Diwali Celebration, which will be
held on November 1, 2012 in Ottawa. I am very pleased to have RANAs valuable support in
organizing this important annual event, which will be attended by Prime Minister Stephen
Harper.
Canada is home to a vibrant Indo-Canadian community, among them many illustrious IndoCanadians of Rajasthani origin. They form part of the rich mosaic of cultures that make up our
great nation. I have a personal connection to Rajasthan as well because my spouse, Neena, and
her family hail from the region.
RANA Canada and its members have consistently worked hard to promote and preserve the
culture, heritage, and traditions of Rajasthan. In the process, they have created a wonderful
showcase for Indian and Rajasthani heritage and have contributed towards Canadians greater
understanding of this dynamic community.
I look forward to continuing to work closely with RANA and, as always, wish its members much
success in their future endeavours.
Sincerely,

Our desire to build a better world unites us as one people not in spite of our differences, but
with full respect for them. Here in Canada, as winter arrives and the days grow shorter, the
flames from the diyas allow us to reflect on all that we have to be thankful for in this country.
In Temples, Mandirs and Gurdwaras across Canada as you pray and celebrate family and
faith on behalf of the Liberal Party of Canada and our Parliamentary Caucus, I want to extend
my very best wishes for a happy and memorable Diwali.

Editors Note
RANA (Canada)s Annual Magazine has received a lot of traction and has been wellappreciated in the past two years. This year, however, we decided to change it up a bit
while still keeping the ever-popular sections.
You will be able to experience the oldies but goodies, such as photographs from RANA
events over the past year, delectable recipes, inspiring articles, amazing experiences and
stories of Rajasthan. In addition to a refreshing new look, we have a number of articles
Rajni Tekriwal, Chief Editor and poems in Hindi and a collage of newspaper articles covering RANA events. It was
a great year for us both in Canada and India, which is evident through the amount
of media coverage we received the collage is just the trailer. You will also notice that
as RANA is flying high, our members, including both our children and youth, have
accomplished a lot over the years. Their personal and professional achievements are
what make us a proud RANA family.
As Ralph Waldo Emerson has rightly said:
Anamika Vaish, Editor
Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a
character; sow a character, reap a destiny.
This magazine also started with just a thought and continues to achieve its mission of
protecting Rajasthans culture and heritage.
As always, I urge you to contribute more towards our annual magazine, either through
articles and/or advertisements. On the same note and on behalf of my Editorial Team,
I would like to thank all the members for their contribution. I would also like to
extend a note of thanks to our advertisers for contributing so generously and allowing
us to publish this magazine without any financial restrictions. Not to forget, my sincere
thanks to everyone at RG Digital Printing, who has been our partner in this initiative
for the past three years.
I hope you enjoy this issue just as much as you enjoyed the previous ones.
Rajni Tekriwal

Once a prosperous settlement of the Paliwal Brahmins, all the residents of Kuldhara and 83 nearby villages vanished suddenly one night in 1825, having
lived there since 1291. In all likelihood they set up
base somewhere beyond Jodhpur but no one has ever
been sure. This is one of the most bizarre stories of
human migration one can hear.
Where are the Paliwals now? Scattered all over the
world. And generally doing well going by their genetic
lineage. It is said they even left a curse on the villages,
bringing death and suffering to anyone who tried to
live in these villages. For the Paliwals, this was not the
first migration. Before Kuldhara, according to some
accounts, they had left Pali near Jodhpur from where
they originally came from and that is why they were
called Pali Walai , Pali Wala and finally Paliwal ; it was
to escape additional war taxes being imposed by the
king.

Jokes
Collected By Ritika Garg
1.) A man placed some flowers on the grave of his
dearly departed mother and started back toward his
car when his attention was diverted to another man
kneeling at a grave. The man seemed to be praying
with profound intensity and kept repeating, Why did
you have to die? Why did you have to die?
The first man approached him and said, Sir, I dont
wish to interfere with your private grief, but this demonstration of pain is more than Ive ever seen before.
For whom do you mourn so deeply? A child? A parent?
The mourner took a moment to collect himself, then
replied, My wifes first husband.
2.) A woman walked into the kitchen to find her husband stalking a round with a fly swatter.
What are you doing? she asked.
Hunting flies, He responded.
Oh, killing any? She asked.
