puzzled

i liked the movie! it was beautifully made imo. they covered Guru Nanak ji not wanting to where the bhaman thread and not worshiping at jagganath mandir because of the idol and the kazi accusing guru ji of being a kafir, and guru ji being against caste with bhai lalo and malik bhago etc theres only so little you can cover in a 2 hr movie. in future if they make similar movies they should get singhs to play the sikh characters.

heres how they do it

Nanak Shah Fakir full movie

i really hope there is no backfire on sikhs in pakistan

i feel sorry for these people. their houses and businesses have been set on fire. the muslims ladies are saying how the police came and broke all the cctv cameras in the area, the whole thing is planned

yh the whole thing was clearly planned, local muslims are saying that the police is supporting the riots and not helping them.

i saw videos of this on youtube, but about when you shower and wash you dhari, all the curls are gnna go lol

i think its coz bjp lost in delhi, and aap party won so modi sent his men over to terrorize.

Had no idea but there are riots in Delhi, mosque has been burned down and 13 people killed.

Thanks to the law in Lahore the gurdwara is still standing.

crazy stuff, cow poo and wee is a multi billion dollar industry! i really can't get my head around how these people actually see cows as divine and drink/eat there wee/poo. makes you wonder what will the future of Sikhs be in that country. this vid says that cow poo has vitamin b-12

Its a shame that he is not in any indian txt books, then again its no surprise. i dont think indians and pakistanis realize that the whole reason that kashmir and the khyber pakhtunkhwa areas are part of pakistan and india today is because of the sikh empire and hari singh nalwa. kashmir and what is half of pakistan today were under the afghan darruni empire, had not hari singh nalwa made these regions part of the sikh empire then these regions would of been a part of afghanistan today.

“Stay Quiet, Hari Singh Is Coming” by Kamalpreet Singh Gill - Apr 30, 2018, 6:22 pm Hari Singh Nalwa Snapshot 30 April is the death anniversary of the legendary Sikh general, Hari Singh Nalwa. Here is a tribute to the warrior who earned the title, ‘Terror of the Afghans’. Generations of Pakistanis recall how, even to this day, in the troubled north western tribal belt bordering Afghanistan, mothers often put young children to sleep with the Pashto words “Chup sha, Hari Singh raghlay”. (stay quiet, Hari Singh is coming) Hari Singh Nalwa was the general of the Sikh empire of Ranjit Singh who, to a large extent, was responsible for shaping the political boundaries of modern South Asia as we know them today. During the turbulent late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, when the East India Company was fast gobbling up territories of the Indian sub-continent from the east and the south, Hari Singh Nalwa expanded the empire of Ranjit Singh further to the west and to the north. He brought Kashmir and Multan under the Lahore durbar while also extending Sikh rule beyond the Indus, bringing the Sikhs face to face with their old enemies - the Afghan kingdom of the Durranis - with whom they had been constantly at war during the eighteenth century when the notorious Ahmad Shah Abdali had ravaged the Punjab with his plundering raids. Such was the destruction caused by Ahmad Shah in the Punjab that it gave birth to a common idiom popular in Punjab even today : Khaada peeta laahey da Baaki Ahmed Shahey da (to you belongs only that which you need to fill your stomach Rest all is the property of Ahmed Shah) This time however the shoe was on the other foot. Having consolidated their hold over the Punjab through the eighteenth century, the Sikhs were after the famed Afghan capitals of Peshawar, and eventually Kabul. Peshawar was the winter capital of the Afghan kingdom of Durranis. More than just an administrative centre, Peshawar had also been the cultural capital of the Pashtuns throughout history – from the Gandharan civilisation of 5th century BC to the Kushan empire of Kanishka of the 1st century CE down to the Mughals in the 16th century, Peshawar served as the nerve centre of Afghan life and culture for millennia. In the 18th century, to imagine an Afghan kingdom without Peshawar was like imagining a Bengal without Kolkata, a Maratha empire without Pune, a Punjab without Lahore. Under orders from Ranjit Singh, Hari Singh Nalwa wrested Peshawar from the Afghans. Were it not for Hari Singh, Peshawar might well have remained with the Durranis, and the British, having annexed Punjab and Sindh by 1849, would have remained content drawing the boundaries of their empire at Rawalpindi itself. The Pakistan of today would not have inherited Peshawar and most of its north-western tribal areas. Rise Through The Ranks and the Capture of Peshawar Born in 1791 in the city of Gujranwala (now in Pakistan) Hari Singh arrived at the court of Maharaja Ranjit Singh of Lahore as a young boy of 14. He quickly rose through the ranks to become the commander-in-chief of the armies of the Sikh empire by distinguishing himself in a series of battles, quickly fought, and decisively won. With each victory, the Sikhs progressively moved westwards, alarming the Afghans and worrying the British. The Afghans often sought British help during these battles but the latter calculated that with the Sikhs led by Hari Singh Nalwa and Ranjit Singh, the Afghans didn’t stand much a chance and preferred to keep their distance from the wars between Sikhs and Afghans, waiting for a more opportune moment to intervene. In 1827, Attock on the north-western edge of the Punjab was captured from the Afghans after a bloody battle and Hari Singh Nalwa soon found himself at the ramparts of the great city of Peshawar which was in 1834 defended by Dost Mohammed Khan, the Emir (king) of Afghanistan. The actual conquest of Peshawar however turned out to be an anti-climax. No great battle was to be fought to conquer the great city. Such was the reputation of Hari Singh Nalwa by this time that the Afghan garrison gave up after a token resistance and the Sikhs entered the famed Bala Hissar fort of Peshawar without a fight. The Peshawar fort was renamed by the Sikhs and called Sumer Garh, after the Sumer mountain in the Himalayas that Guru Nanak is believed to have visited during his travels. Hari Singh Nalwa had by now earned the sobriquet of ‘ The Terror of the Afghans’. The Battle of Jamrud Under Ranjit Singh, Sikhs expanded rapidly beyond the Punjab to include Kashmir in the north and Multan in the south to their dominions. However it was Kabul that Ranjit Singh desired above all and he trusted Hari Singh Nalwa to deliver it to him. With the fall of Peshawar, Sikhs moved further west to occupy the strategic town of Jamrud overlooking the historic Khyber Pass – considered the gateway to India by invaders from Central Asia throughout history. Following Dussehra celebrations in Amritsar in October 1936, Hari Singh, accompanied by prince Nau Nihal Singh – Ranjit Singh’s grandson - quickly subdued the fiercely independent tribals of the area who were known to stubbornly resist all forms of authority. Jamrud too fell quickly sending shockwaves through South Asia, and leaving the Khyber Pass within a stone’s throw reach of the Sikhs. Right across the Khyber Pass lay the bustling Afghan city and commercial centre of Jalalabad, with Kabul another 150 kms to the west. Dost Mohammed knew that once the Sikhs crossed the Khyber Pass and captured Jalalabad, Kabul would fall within a matter of days. To save his empire, he gathered his wearied forces one last time and waited nervously for the right moment. Meanwhile in Lahore, preparations were in full swing for the wedding of Kunwar Nau Nihal Singh. Sir Henry Fane, Commander-in-Chief of the British Armies in India was invited as a special guest for the wedding at Lahore. On 22 March 1937 Sir Fane witnessed a splendid celebration of Holi at Lahore in which in his own words “ the very face of the earth looked red from the profuse lac-dye and rosewater”. For the wedding itself, a splendid show of military strength was planned to impress the British for which troops were withdrawn from all parts of the Punjab and ordered to Lahore. As Kunwar Nau Nihal Singh left Jamrud for Lahore along with a sizeable part of his entourage, Hari Singh Nalwa was left in charge of the Jamrud fort with only 800 men. News of the weakly defended Jamrud fort quickly reached Kabul, and wasting no time, Dost Mohammad Khan swooped down on Jamrud with a force of 25,000 men. A fierce battle followed in which Hari Singh Nalwa was fatally wounded on 28 April 1837. However as he lay on his deathbed, Nalwa instructed his second-in-command, Sardar Mahan Singh Mirpuri, to not let the news of his death leave the walls of the fort. Mahan Singh had Nalwa’s garments hung on the fort to trick the Afghans into believing that the general was still alive, while he sent for reinforcements from Lahore. The Afghans knew that Nalwa had been wounded but such was his terror that for four days they contented themselves with firing volleys at the fort from a distance, never daring to storm the fort until the news of his death was confirmed. On the fifth day, a reinforcement of 10,000 men arrived from Lahore and the Afghans fled back to Kabul. Jamrud was defended, but the great general was lost. In keeping with his last wishes, his ashes were mixed with the mud at the wrestling pit at Lahore fort, where young warriors learned their first lessons in the art of fighting. Legacy Following Nalwa’s death, the westward expansion of the Sikh empire was halted and the Khyber Pass became the boundary between the Sikh empire and the Emirate of Afghanistan. This was the boundary that the British inherited in 1849 at the end of the Second Anglo-Sikh War and the annexation of the Punjab, naming it the Durand Line. 181 years after his death, this boundary separates the states of Afghanistan and Pakistan, cleaving the ancient Pashtun heartland into two, and to a great extent, being the cause of the tribal unrest in Pakistan’s north-west. Hari Singh Nalwa was also a prolific builder and administrator. He founded the city of Haripur in 1822, which is named after him, in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistan. The city is located a few miles from the ancient site of Taxila and was the first planned town in the region. Today, Haripur is a bustling city with a population of close to a million in the entire district. Hari Singh also built the historic Gurudwara of Panja Sahib at Hassan Abdal near Peshawar to mark Guru Nanak’s passage through the region. The Gurudwara today is a major pilgrimage centre for Sikhs. Ruins of Hari Singh Nalwa’s haveli exist in the Chakwal district of Pakistan, located adjacent to the famed Katas Raj temple of lord Shiva. The ruins and the temple attract visitors and history-lovers from Pakistan and from India. In 2013, the government of India issued a commemorative stamp to honour the great general. The iconic Hindi song, Mere desh ki dharti sona ugle, from the film Upkar (1967), features Manoj Kumar singing the following lines : Rang Hara Singh Nalwey Sa, Rang Lal hai Lal Bahadur Se, Rang bana Basanti Bhagat Singh, (the color green comes from Hari Singh Red comes from Lal Bahadur, The Saffron from Bhagat Singh) Despite this, the name of Hari Singh Nalwa is not known to most Indians, and the above ode to him written in 1967 remains the only depiction of this great general in popular culture. His 181st death anniversary is being observed on 30th April 2018.

these kar sewa babe need to be arrested. kar sewa is a business. this same man baba jagtar singh kar sewa wale tarn taran went pakistan lahore to demolish old gurdware, luckily in lahore by law you can not demolish any building older than 100 yrs because of it heritage value. he wanted to demolish the gurdwara in chuna mandi lahore which is the janamasthan of guru ram das ji, the lahore government made it clear that he cant demolish the structure but can repair it, they also used to come down daily to make sure that he is not altering or demolishing the structure. he's also responsible for demolishing bebe nankis over 500 yr old house. this man alone is responsible for so much destruction of our heritage, he should be behind bars

Yh you can see the European influence in her art, she went to europe for painting classes france I think? but really missed india so came back. Its said she was influenced by the ajanta cave paintings aswell when she visited them, you can definitely see the influence from the ajanta paintings.

Amrita Sher gil, similar paintings to the ones of the bengali renaissance i like the earthy colours she used. the people in he paintings look really depressed. I remember seeing a painting of nihung singhs by her but i cant find it now amrita in her studio

remember when the kar sewa babe tried demolishing the 200 yr old dharshan deori in the middle of the night at tarn taran darbar sahib, well 10 months on and nothing has been restored yet! no one has been arrested for the damage despite a complaint made. Funny how the youth that damaged the statues of the dancing people at amritsar were arrested straight away, yet the people involved in demolishing a 200 yr old building at Tarn Taran darbar sahib are still walking around free. https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/10-months-on-no-progress-on-restoration-of-darshani-deori-in-tarn-taran-gurdwara/story-TUnzuVr5i9TtVxaJqbnRHK.html 10 months on, no progress on restoration of Darshani Deori in Tarn Taran gurdwara CITIES Updated: Jan 30, 2020 22:55 IST Anil Sharma Hindustan Times, Tarn Taran A view of the partially demolished Darshani Deori of Gurudwara Darbar Sahib in Tarn Tran in on Saturday. (HT PHOTO) Tarn Taran Ten months after Kar Sewa activists demolished a portion of the Darshani Deori, the main entrance leading to the sanctum sanctorum of the historic Gurdwara Darbar Sahib on March 31, restoration and preservation of the structure is yet to begin. Baba Jagtar Singh headed the Kar Sewa Group involved in the incident, but was not present at the spot. The only work towards restoration has been that the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) has formed a sub-committee of its members and subject experts for the preservation and renovation of this important relic of Sikh heritage. Gurdwara manager Balwinder Singh said, “Restoration work of the Deori has not been started as SAD (Amritsar) president Simranjit Singh Mann has filed a writ petition in the Punjab and Haryana high court. However, we have no stay order from the court on restoration and preservation work of the structure.” Mann has filed a plea in court seeking action against Baba Jagtar Singh and the activists, who, he claimed, had ‘destroyed’ the gurdwara. An SGPC member Bhagwant Singh Sialka claimed, “Experts from Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College, Ludhiana, have scanned the structure for its restoration.” No action against accused, despite SGPC panel indictment  The accused in the case are roaming free, in spite of a four-member SGPC probe committee’s recommendation of a police case against them. The panel comprised Sialka, Bhai Ram Singh (both SGPC members); Gurmeet Singh and Harjit Singh Lalu Ghuman (assistant secretaries). It had submitted its report to SGPC president Gobind Singh Longowal on April 5, 2019. After this, Longowal had said they will get police cases registered against the accused. The panel had held the Kar Sewa and the then manager of the gurdwara, Partap Singh, ‘guilty’ of demolishing the historic structure without its permission. It had also taken back the right of doing Kar Sewa (voluntarily religious service) at the gurdwara from Baba Jagtar Singh. “The Kar Sewa head had tendered an apology, and had claimed that he had not received the new order from the SGPC for not demolishing the historic structure. The probe into this claim is on,” Sialka told HT over phone. When questioned, if a police complaint had been lodged against the accused, SGPC chief secretary Roop Singh said, “I am not aware. I hope the manager of the gurdwara must have lodged a police complaint.” Gurdwara manager Balwinder said no complaint had been lodged. “The SGPC is not only shielding the accused, it is also playing with the sentiments of devotees,” claimed Harpal Singh, general secretary, SAD (Amritsar). Tejbir Singh, of Tarn Taran, said, “For trying to demolish folk dancers’ statues at the Heritage Street, police have registered a case of attempt to murder. For demolishing a 200-year-old historic structure, however, no action has been taken. This is shameful.” Quotes (if needed) Restoration work of the Deori has not been started as SAD (A) president Simranjit Singh Mann has filed a writ petition in the Punjab and Haryana HC. Balwinder Singh, manager, Gurdwara Darbar Sahib, Tarn Taran The SGPC is not only shielding the accused, it is also playing with the sentiments of devotees. Harpal Singh, general secretary, SAD (A)

Iv never read mahabharat, iv got it on kindle. It definitely sounds more interesting.

Well to survive in the forest for 14 years they had to eat something lol. Ramayan Is a interesting scripture if you like reading old scriptures I recommend ramayan. A bit over the top and melancholic at times. Main theme is morals and virtues. adultry and sexual sin is repetitive theme. So is loyalty and not breaking promises.

Isit I didnt know that, their helmets look really cool. Iv read abit about samurai culture and they believed in dying in the battle field as the best way of dying. A lot of them were also against getting modern weapons when the Americans came. A bit similar to akalis. Many old warrior traditions have many things in common.

Driving lesson in Punjab LOL. The guy driving is a Punjabi driving instructor from Wolverhampton, he does mock test videos on youtube. This driving lesson and test took place in Phagwara.

nice little bit of history, The Times 1841 mentions Maharani Chand Kaur becoming the queen. Chand Kaur was the wife of Maharaja Kharak Singh. A few hours after Kharak Singh died their son Nau Nihal Singh, next in line to become Maharaja also died. The whole thing most likely was a planned murder, Kharak Singh was poisoned while Nau Nihal Singh was murdered. It most likely was planned by the dogras, other families that opposed Ranjit Singh and probabaly some of Maharaja Sher Singhs men as well. Soon after Nau Nihal Singh died Sher Singh proclaimed himself Maharaja, Chand Kaur the widow of Kharak Singh and mother Nau Nihal Singh challenged Sher Singh with the claim that her dead son Nau Nihal Singhs wife Sahib Kaur is expecting a baby and till the baby is not born she will sit on the throne, therefore Maharani Chand Kaur sat on the throne in Lahore. Brave woman for standing up to the giants of the Sikh empire! She also managed to get a big % of the Sikh army on her side. Tragically when Sahib Kaur did give birth it was a still born baby. Maharaja Sher Singh then did not wait any longer when he heard of the still birth and marched with his troops towards Lahore fort. Chand Kaur refused to give up her title and the city broke into civil war. Massive parts of the city were blown up and the number of casualties was very high. Eventually Chand Kaur and her forces had no choice but to surrender and leave Lahore fort. Sher Singh then became Maharaja. Chand Kaur then retired and started living in her sons haveli in Lahore but was still seen as a threat and was beaten to death in the haveli. The Times 1841 mentioning Chand Kaur becoming queen.
