Manjeet Singh Babbar was born as Manjeet Singh Doad to Sardar Karnail Singh and Mata Ratan Kaur in the village Jalwehra, Hoshiarpur on Oct 30, 1955. He studied at the local village school. To protest against the invasion of the Indian army on the Darbar Sahib, bhai sahib and 8 other Sikhs hijacked an Indian Airliner from Jammu to Lahore. The other hijackers were:

* Parminder Singh "Harfam Maula" (Leader)

* Dalip Singh

* Gurdip Singh Pardesi

* Malaghar Singh Babbar

* Harbhajan Singh

* Harminder Singh

* Gurvinder Singh

* Ravinder Singh

They where arrested by Pakistan police.

They faced a trial. In the words of bhai sahib in a letter from prison:

"Our bodies are imprisoned behind high walls but our minds are free. According to the will of the Lord, there is an abundance of Bani being recited here, which would have been difficult if not impossible on the outside. I'm so happy that Satguru ji has given this blessed time to me. I try to take advantage of it as much as possible. But everything is in the hands of the beloved Lord. I have no other desire but that my head should be sacrificed for the Satguru. Don't pray for our long lives, instead, pray that this filth filled body may be fulfilled by being martyred for Sikhi."

On January 20, 1986, three of them were sentenced to death, two were sentenced to life-imprisonment and four were acquited (Manjeet Singh Babbar, Malagaar Singh Babbar and 2 others). Later in 1989 the death sentence was commuted to life-imprisonment under the orders of a general amnesty. In 1990, Talwinder Singh Babbar, Chief of Babbar Khalsa, made Malaghar Singh Babbar and Manjeet Singh Babbar "JARNAILS" and sent them to India for rejoining the Khalistani movement. On Oct 25 1990, while they were crossing border, the Indian Army was passing, and Malaghar Singh with anger, opened fire, as consequence Manjeet did too. It costed the life of many officers. Both Singhs where martyred as their ammunition ran up. Manjeet was 45 and Malaagar was 35. Manjeet Singh Babbar left behind a wife, a son and a daughter.

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
