A Benti,

A few Singhs are trying to document the names of all the shaheeds in our history and if possible, a little bit about each one.

We have looked on the net and there is nothing really dedicated to this seva. A Singh is in the progress of making a calander for next yr, with this information on it so each day we can remember and learn who gave shaheedi. This is a project he has been wanting to do for a long time but never had the "go" to do it. Having now realised he wants to do this seva, i want to help him as much as i can therefore am asking for you help to complete what i think is a brilliant project.

Please sangat ji, can you help in this by posting the names and the dates of shaheeds, like the month and if possible, the date also. This is not just for modern shaheeds such as those from 84, but those after.

There are many shaheeds before this time to, we want their names and details, therefore please can you all help and email them and post them on this forum...

Hopefully admin will make this a sticky? A good way of doing parchaar to.

Definetly include the shaheeds of the Jaito Morcha

In 1923, Sri Akhand Panth Sahib was Interrupted At Gurudwara Gangsar, Jaito. This Was Second Act Of Sacrilege Against Siri Guru Granth Sahib By The British. This Marked The Begining Of Jaito Morcha.

On the 9th February, 1924 A.D., the first martyr squad of five hundred Singhs saffron attire marched from 'Sri Akal Takht'. A band preceded the squad followed by five beloved ones with saffron flags (Nishan Sahib). The palanquin of Guru Granth Sahib was in the middle folowed by the squad of martyrs in the lines of four. This squad was proceeding towards Gangsar reciting hymns, shouting slogans and holding congregations on the way. The people were serving the squad with milk, water, sweets and fruits, etc. although the Government was exerting great pressure on people not to serve them.

When the squad reached near Tibbi Sahib on the 21st February, a British officer said ,"Stop, otherwise there will be firing." The squad kept on moving forward. The officer ordered to open fire. Firing continued from three sides for five minutes. Bearing the brunt of fire the squad continued to advance. As firing stopped, mounted soldiers and police beat the surviving members of the squad, tied them with ropes and took them inside the fort. Seven hundred singhs were arrested that day, about two hundred were injured and one hundred attained martyrdom.

After the arrest of the squad of martyrs, the rulers of Nabha set up a special torture chamber in which the leading singhs were taken and tortured. they were hung feet up and were hit on the genitals. They were kept naked outside in cold. Inspite of these tortures on the Singhs, every time more Singhs presented themselves for the next squads than were asked by the Committee. Singhs came from as far off as Canada, Hongkong, Shanghai to join the Squads. After firing on the first squad of martyrs, this 'Morcha' (agitation) became an international movement.

The sixteenth squad of martyrs of five hundred Singhs started from 'Sri Akal Takht' on the 17th April, 1925 A.D., Before that Squad had reached Gurdwara Gangsar, Sri Malcolm Heely, the Governor of Punjab gave approval to the Gurdwara Act on the 11th July, 1925 A.D. All the Akalis were released on the 27th July. Freedom to hold 'Akhand Path' at Jaito was obtained after one year and ten months.
