Its not how and what all happened, It’s about how and what all is happening now in the present.

Sikhs in India fought for Indian Freedom Struggle and over 85% of those who were sent to the gallows or imprisoned during the freedom struggle were Punjabis!

Sikhs have been a backbone in the growth of India and winning over all odds. During Partition, 14.5 million people had to migrate out of which 7.2 million were Muslims and 7.2 million were Sikhs and Hindus. About one million Sikhs were lost their lives in the hassle during Partition. India at the time lost a lot on Identity, Culture, Language and Civilization.

Punjabi’s stayed together for centuries and together fought for freedom!

Let’s celebrate this Day of Struggles, Deaths, Sacrifices and hardships that we faced during Independence by remembering the departed souls!
