Jakara 2007 - Sarbat Khalsa: Discord in Harmony

June 21st - 24th, 2007 | Fresno, CA

Ravidasia // Khatri // Jatt // Tarkhan...The labels that divide us are endless. Caste, gender, class, and power tear apart our Qaum, our Gurdwaras, and our Pariwars. How do we overcome? How do we forge unity without silencing voices? This year at Jakara 2007, we remember the Sarbat Khalsa. The Sarbat Khalsa is the grassroots democratic collective voice of the Sikhs. Through this discord, we can find harmony.
