Recommended Posts

Shocking news. Not preserving historical artifacts is one thing, but deliberately trying to destroy them is another level:

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.

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.

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.

Why have these guys not digitized the literature yet?

Great job by students.

 

Bhul chuk maaf
