Reflection of the Punjab in its Original Glory!

This Video is an Educational film about the Punjab region of India in 1942. Punjab Heritage in its simplest form. A silent film but it gives you a good idea if what was life in a Punjabi village and cities of this great land of our. Their life was simple, they had a cleaner pollution free environment and they ate simple, healthy and pure diet, lived longer. Although we have best of technologies now but the Happiness in Simple Living is missing. It was worth experiencing. But over time this glory has been lost as our base state Punjab has been turmoiled.

The heart of India is still in its villages. If Punjab has to regain its lost glory, it is the villages that need to transform.

With increasing social evils like alcoholism, female foeticide, drug abuse etc. the need of the hour is to have a Drug-free Society and all mankind should be educated for a better living. For the same purpose Kalgidhar Society and Trust is working in the direction of bringing back India’s glory by arresting drug abuse, patit-puna and female foeticide.

Currently, the trust is aiming Punjab where they have 129 Akal Academies in far flung areas, where in 60,000 kids are being given spiritually as well as worldly education.

If you make solid roots then the tree will be strong! Let’s pledge to transform Punjab into a spiritually enlightened State with the power of Value Based Education.

Emotional Song by this Kid on the Sacrifices of the Youngest Martyrs of Sikh- Chote Sahibzaade!

Post by Kalgidhar Trust – Baru Sahib.

As the year approaches the end, on December 26 every year, the global world Sikh community commemorate the martyrdom of three of their most loved figures of the Guru household. On this darkest of days, their youngest hero and bravest comrade of Sikhism, Sahibzada Fateh Singh (1699-1705) who was the youngest of Guru Gobind Singh’s four sons, Sahibzada Zorawar Singh (1696-1705), his elder brother and Mata Gujar Kaur ji, his grandmother sacrificed their lives for their faith and the right to remain Sikhs.

The Chote Sahibzade – Fateh Singh & Zoravar Singh, snuggle in the warm embrace of their loving grandmother – Mata Gujri. Imprisoned in the open tower (Thanda Burj) in the freezing month of December, their radiant faces show no pain or regret at their unwavering decision to uphold Sikhi at all costs. The innocence and boundless purity of these noble souls reflects on their faces.

Gurdwara Fatehgarh Sahib which is situated 5 km north of Sirhind marks the sad site of the execution of the two younger sons of Guru Gobind Singh at the behest of Wazir Khan of Kunjpura, the faujdar of Sirhind. Baba Fateh Singh with his elder brother, set a precedence in Sikh history (and perhaps also in world history) by becoming the youngest known martyrs to sacrifice their lives for their principles.

On 26 December 1705, Baba Fateh Singh ji was cruelly and mercilessly martyred at Sirhind along with his elder brother, Zorawar Singh. He is probably the youngest recorded martyr in history who knowingly and consciously laid down his life at the very tender age of 6 years.

The mind boggles to understand how children of such young age had the, courage, bravery and focus to refuse the promise of many lavish gifts and a future of cosy comforts of royalty that were being offered by the Mughals if they abandoned their faith against the other stark option of a brutal, painful and tragic death entombed within a wall of bricks and mortar. The world salutes the supreme sacrifice of these kids who never once – even of a moment considered the easy option and remained focused on their mission to uphold the principles of God’s kingdom and allowed their bodies to be tortured and violated and endured the intense pain of a slow, pain-ridden and certain death.

Italians Thank Sikhs for Their Contribution in transforming their economy!

Post by Sikhism Worldwide.

The documentary focuses on how the Sikh Community in Italy has transformed the farm sector of the Italian economy. It starts off with a story on how immigrants arrived in Italy and why they immediately went into the farm sector. The story then shifts to a particular family and their views of life in Italy. The documentary’s primary focus is how Sikhs are keeping alive the cheese industry in Italy and without them the cheese probably wouldn’t be made in such high quantity.

The owners of the cheese factories state they are glad to have Sikhs as their workers because Sikhs are trustworthy and hand working.

Sikh Formaggio: How a generation of Sikh immigrants have been absorbed into the heart of the Italian cheese industry.
Italy’s Sikh community have found a unique way to integrate into their new-found home. Their cultural heritage has left them uniquely positioned to preserve Italy’s unique cheese manufacturing techniques.

This is not one individual’s story, but a community of voices and how the tradition of making cheese plays a role in all of their lives.
