In this age of fast and electronic communications, I would like to know what links do the S.G.P.C. and the different Takhats in India and all the Gurdwaras in India as well as abroad have?

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ke Fateh! Nineteen years ago, a war was fought,The warriors who fought, gave up a lot. Nineteen years ago, hundreds of families were eliminated,Old people were burnt and young children terminated. Nineteen years ago, men declared they wanted sovereignty and put their words to action, They no longer wanted to stand the anguish, dishonor, broken promises and vexation. Nineteen years ago, a girl was pushed down and violated, Even her torn, naked, bloody body was left lying around, and she wasn't cremated. Nineteen years ago, a boy who had not yet sprouted beard, Was thrashed senseless, till his screams could no longer be heard. Nin…
