chatanga1 Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Shocking news. Not preserving historical artifacts is one thing, but deliberately trying to destroy them is another level: http://www.punjabspectrum.news/2016/03/15/1735 Students of Punjabi University Patiala today foiled an attempt by Librarian and other conspirators to sell/destroy rare handwritten manuscripts related to Sikhi. According to social media sources and Kamaljit Singh: Students of Punjabi University Patiala today foiled an attempt by Librarian and other conspirators to sell/destroy rare handwritten manuscripts related to Sikhi. Gurbani Pothiya, Historic Literature and writings, handwritten manuscripts were being sold off in ”Crap” (RADDI) by Librarian. When Students noticed it, they stopped the truck and took literature in their posession. Librarian SAROJ BALA said she has got atleast ONE COPY of every Book/Writing which was being Sold, but when the students demanded her to show the copies she could not. Instead she tore down one Magazine ”Nirguniara” which students had recovered from truck. Now the SIKH STUDENTS are protesting against this conspiracy to destroy SIKH HISTORICAL BOOKS which were being stored in University. They have demanded suspension of Saroj Bala and filing a case against her and her co-conspirators and have demanded DIGITIZATION of all the Manuscripts which have been recovered and which are present in University LIbrary. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chatanga1 Posted March 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Yes the students have done an excellent job but the job of digitizing the literature should now be a priority. The incident was just being discussed on Akaal Channel now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsingh101 Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 What's sad is that given what we've heard and seen over decades now, none of this surprises anymore. That's not a good place to be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the manuscripts have been digitized, but the newspapers, tracts and books haven't been yet. Let's hope this wakes up people who can get it done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
