Glad to see that some news outlets are taking the issue of assassinations of Sikhs more seriously. If only the british govt would have the same approach but while rishi is in charge that will never happen.

How generous of the Maharashtra government to "withhold it for broader consultation" !!! The fact that they must have been planning for months before doing it, and to even think about it in the first place shows that their intentions. I'm just glad that on the one side the hazoori Sikhs have kind of woken up to the deceitful nature of the indian states and their regional and central governments. Hopeful one day the delhi sikhs will shake off their slumber as well.

Listen to around 15 mins onwards but specifically around 24:40 to hear the "Buddha Dal jathedars" views on Baba Surjeet Singh
 
 

@jaikaara Why is this hindutva agent not saying anything about this ? He lives there in Nander, and has always pretended to be friendly to any Sikh who is against Khalistan and freedom for Panjab.
 
 
What's Balbir Singh going to do? He can't visit Nander because the Nihangs there hate him. They don't accept him as Jathedar of anything. And it doesn't surprise me. I saw a video of Balbir Singh slandering Baba Surjeet Singh and saying the most stupid things about Surjeet Singh and his beard, claiming that Surjeet Singh kept his beard like a muslim. What kind of drivel is that to come from anyones mouth, let alone a so-called jathedar of Buddha Dal?

Nanded gurdwara: How Maharashtra govt has ‘taken control’

The Maharashtra government’s decision to amend The Nanded Sikh Gurudwara Sachkhand Sri Hazur Apchalnagar Sahib Act, 1956, to increase the number of its nominees to the religious body’s board has drawn criticism from Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) president Harjinder Singh Dhami who said it was “sad, condemnable and a direct interference” in Sikh affairs “which cannot be tolerated”. Dhami has now written a letter to Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, seeking an appointment to discuss this issue.
 
Here’s a look at the amendment and why it has irked the SGPC:
What is the Gurudwara Sachkhand Board, Nanded?
The Takhat Hazur Sahib in Nanded, Maharashtra, is one of the five Takhats (high temporal seats) of Sikhs and is of great historical importance as the 10th Guru of Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh, passed away here. As per the 1956 Act, the Gurudwara Sachkhand Board, Nanded looks after the management of the Takhat Hazur Sahib. It has an annual budget of around Rs 100 crore and property worth crores.
What will the amendment change?
According to the 1956 Act, the 17-member Takhat Hazur Sahib board comprises four nominated SGPC members, four members from Sachkhand Hazur Khalsa Diwan, two Sikh members of Parliament, one from Chief Khalsa Diwan, three directly elected from the seven districts of Marathwada, one member each from Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh, and the Nanded collector.
According to the new amendment, out of 17 members, 12 will be directly nominated by the Maharashtra government, three will be elected, and the SGPC can now nominate only two. There will be no representation from Parliament or other organisations.
...
What happened in 2015 and why the SGPC protested then?
 
In 2015, the BJP government in power in Maharashtra had trimmed the powers of the Gurudwara Sachkand Board, Nanded by amending Section 11 of the 1956 Act to empower itself to directly appoint the president of the board. Earlier, the president was elected by the board members. BJP MLA Tara Singh had become the first government appointee to the president post in 2015. The SGPC had opposed the amendment in 2015 but to no avail.
In 2019, the SGPC had blamed the BJP and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh for allegedly using the amendment to indirectly take control of Sikh gurdwaras.

The actual place according to the katha in Gurdwara Nanaksar, Jhang, Pakistan. This is the current condition of the historic gurdwara.
 

 
 
 
It took me one year to listen all through the katha of Sri Gurbilas Patshahi Chhevin. I feel blessed and have learnt so much from this Granth. I cannot recommend it enough and it has proved a valuable soure for some questions I had about Sikh history.
 
I hope my brothers on this forum have already started their journey into the katha of this granth.

I have been listening to katha of Sri Gurbilas Patshahi Chhevin and most certainly recommend it to members on this forum.
SGGS Academy have done a great job of katha for this granth, and I have also come across this granth also which is beleived to be from Guru Gobind Singh's kavi darbar:
"Prem Ambodh Granth"

Let's see what Cameron does and hopefully it won't be any worse than Bo-Jo and his Iranian case.

It starts by:
 
"ik oankaar satguru prasad | Prichha (Questions/Test?) Patshahi Daswin Sri Akal Purkh ji sahai | Das wari Waheguru japna | Ar pasa dhalna | Jo bachan aawe so sati kar manna | Vasrev vasrev Chaupai | Arthi jo tu chitwat he man mahi |
 
I'll look at the rest later. Any idea of the title of this granth?

Great thread. The naqba of the palestinians happened in 1948, 1 year after the naqba of the Sikhs. Yet the Sikhs are generally mute to their own naqba in Panjab. It's like we have forgotten, or chosen to forget what happened in 1947.
 
 
Its why Yasser Arafat was a great supporter of Nehru  and Indira Gandhi, as they claimed to be secularists as well. But the state of India also got help and advice from Israel in counter-terrorism for Operation Bluestar, as the Israelis had been conducting such like operations for years. Both enemies. Both supporting India.
 
 
It seems like their plan to create infighting between Palestinians backfired as one side came out very dominant. And then decided to kill 1000 Israelis.

No, as they were killed by the military rather than villagers. Plus the Muslims wanted to take the Sikh lands and properties so if they did convert to Islam, they would still be able to hold onto those properties.

In Sheikhupura, Sikhs had taken refuge in a factory, where they were soon to be surrounded by muslim military, and machine-gunned. Some 1200 Sikhs were killed in this massacre.
