Dastar Bandi competition was held in Akal Academy Dhotian, keeping the Sikhi intact among the young generations. The impressionable minds are inculcated with the root values of Sikhism and are fed with importance of Dastars (turbans). Students of the Academy tied Dastar there and represented the school as a Sikh School. Most of the participants tied a very good turbans.
Principal graced the ceremony with her inspiring words,“The Sikh turban is not just a piece of cloth, but a symbol, with of hundreds of years of our history and heritage wrapped in it. May it always be a reminder for you to stand up for yourself and others who need help in this world.”
Amid cries and zealous screams of Sikh Jaikaras, students were crowned with Dastars. While many young Sikhs in India and US are shunning their identity due to various reasons, on the other hand Dastar Bandi competition is being revived by those Sikh youth who are proud of their own heritage.
The atmosphere echoed with “Sir Jaaye taa jaave, mera Sikhi Sidak Naa Jaave” making the atmosphere emotional and inspirational. Raising Sikhs of the Future with Value based education is the essence of Kalgidhar Trust, grooming a cluster of Sikh youths according to the Sikh tenets. The young children are given a thorough knowledge of all walks of life These Students will be shaped as preachers of Guru Khalsa Panth’s thoughts and well equipped with modern techniques. These children will become the role models in the society for others.
Appreciate the efforts & Inspire the youth!
