Glowing tributes were paid to Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev on their 77th martyrdom day across Punjab and Haryana on Sunday with Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal announcing that the martyr's native village would be developed into a "mecca of martyrs".

Bhagat Singh and his two associates went to the gallows together on this day in 1931. Addressing a function to mark the occasion in Mawanshahr on Sunday, Badal disclosed his plans to give a facelift to the museum at the martyr's village Khatkar Kallan where portraits of all freedom fighters including those of Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev besides other memorabilia will be put on display.

"It would apprise the younger generation about our supreme legacy of nationalism and patriotism", the Chief Minister said.

Bemoaning the plight of the common man even after 60 years of independence Badal said it was sad that an India free from the maladies of illiteracy, unemployment and starvation, as envisioned by our freedom fighters, was is still unfulfilled.

Asking the Centre and State governments to take pledge on this day to undertake programmes and schemes exclusively for the development and welfare of the common man, he said it will be a real tribute to our national heroes.

At another function held at the samadhi of the martyr in Ferozepur Badal announced that research on the contribution and sacrifice of Punjabis during various wars and freedom struggles, right from the Mughal period will soon be started in the universities of Punjab.

Badal also said the state government has resolved to develop the national martyrs memorial as a major source of tourist attraction so that their sacrifices continue to inspire the generations to come.

The Chief Minister also honoured 11 eminent freedom fighters besides the nephews and other family members of Bhagat Singh on this occasion.

Paying tribute to the martyrs at Karnal Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda said that the whole nation was indebted to them and their supreme sacrifices cannot be forgotten.

At another programme held in Moga to mark the occasion Deputy Speaker of the Punjab Assembly Sat Pal Gosain paid glowing tributes to the three martyrs who, he said, laid down their lives fighting for the freedom of the country.

Gosain called upon people from all walks of life to follow the footsteps of the martyrs to preserve the country's freedom.

Meanwhile, addressing another function to commemorate the occasion in Ludhiana former Chairman of the National Minority Commission Tirlochan Singh said that chapters on martyrs like Bhagat Singh and his two associates should be prominently included in school textbooks.

      Concept of Sin

      By BhForce · Posted

      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

      Fake Baba

      By BhForce · Posted

      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.

      Fake Baba

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      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!!

      Is suraj parkash right? is it a reliable source of info?

      By BhForce · Posted

      Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
