Vaheguru jee Ka Khalsa

Vaheguru Jee Kee Fateh

As you may be aware 2009 marks twenty-five years since the Indian Government attacked Sri Harmandir Sahib and launched a genocide on Sikhs across the Indian subcontinent. As the anniversary date will fall in June 2009 this is when we are hoping to release the 7th Shaheedi CD in the series.

The theme of the the 7th IP release will be around the attack of Darbar Sahib in 1984 and related incidents. As it will also be twenty five years since the Sikh Massacres in Delhi and surrounding areas of November 1984 we would be looking for some tracks to cover this topic also.

The Immortal Productions team is always looking for new and fresh talent to help contribute and thus with this in mind we are sending a humble benti to anyone who may feel they can contribute to the new album to contact us at info@shaheedi.com.

Finally, we would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you who have contributed and supported the project over the past years. None of this is possible without the help of the Sangat.

We hope you are all looking forward to the new release as much as we are!

Warm Regards,

The Immortal Productions Team

Suggestions for the album would be

More Jagowale

More Dhadi influenced ie Sarangi intermixed with modern beats the sound of a sarangi can give out the emotions of a song like no other instrument can

As many tracks as possible

Add New Arists from the UK Panjabi Music Industry ie: Producers and so on,this will help promote the album to a wider audience and wil convey the Sikh Panthic message to the wider Sikh Community instead of the usual faces,it will have more appeal

Maybe a few instrumentals on the new CD as everyone is usually after instrumentals,these can be used in videos and so on,eg tracks like Chamakdeh Taareh have beautiful instrumentation a instrumental of a track like that would go a long way , as the music is what connects the listener to the actual message.

Maybe 1 remix of an older track ?

Those are just suggestions of the top of my head

I think the tracks for this year should be alot more hard-core as they were in the first couple of cds - aka ak47 valeh, Jago etc etc . . .as its 25 years, the tunes should be old skool tracks that everyone heard but remixed propa good - so u know the tunes and the remix make em sound wiked - i.e. the gu shots b4 in jago. etc etc

Gurfateh !

definitely agree with Sarpanch ji's post - More Sarangi & More Jago wale

I would love to hear this 'shaheedi' song by Bhai Sadhu Singh (Dehradun Wale) given the 'IP' treatment - it is a beautiful song "Shingaar Ke Chalian Han Tarikh Purani Nu"

Track 4 ;

The line "Masoom de sir mere Dastaar sajaa dehna - Quam Shaheedan da Sardaar bana dehna" is just an awesome line - it moves me to tears everytime I listen to it.

Freed.

The track "Patta Patta Singhan Da Vairi" by Hans Raj Hans should be re-sung with more reference to the movement, the track was legendary.

More Jagowale tracks, try get Punjabi singers who have mentioned the movement in their previous tracks

Babbu Mann, Angrej Ali, Harjeet Harman, HS Talwar have all sung songs with direct references to the Sikh struggle, Im sure there are more.

Balwinder Mattewaria songs have been awesome, more of him too.

    • Ik i'm a few (13) years late but basically: Get a single Mal-mal dastar (around 3-5 metres) and starch it. You just whisk 2 ladles of starch (Kershaw's, cornstarch or maida) with around 5 cups of water until it's completely smooth and mix it on low heat flame for around 20 mins until it goes clear and think like water. When this cools off, take a clean but damp turban and soak it into the starch and make sure you coat the whole dastar evenly You leave it out to hang dry in the sun/air. Once dry u can store it in a cool, dry place until you wanna tie it (for about 4 months) Take the dastar, sprinkle some water all throughout the turban to make it slightly wet and just soft enough to tie. Then you and another person hold the dastar at each end to make a stretched rectangle (two people holding one corner in each of their hands). Fold it in half width-wise 3 times. Tie the turban like this quite loosely. The starch will make it tighter as it dries BUT TIE IT STAIGHT ONTO YOUR HEAD. NO MINi-TURBAN BENEATH IT. JUST TIE YOUR FLATTENED JOORA ON TOP OF YOUR HEAD AND THE DASTAR DIRECTLY ON TOP Secure it with pins and wear it on your head until it has dried from the water you sprinkled before the pooni. After it has completely dried (give it around 3-4 hours just to make sure) you take it off your head DO NOT UNWRAP IT TAKE IT OFF IN IT'S SHAPE and the next time you need to wear you can just place it on your head over your flattened joora instead of tying this. You can do this for around 5 months after you first tied it until you have to ever tie it again.
    • I tie a Punjabi style dastar with starch. Why do people hate this so much? Once when I was tying my dastar my neck seized up and the apna doctor said staying in that position daily for more than 5 mins is dangerous. He recommended a starched pagg like his dad. And I respect my pagg more than my life. I put it on the top shelf of my cupboard whenever it isn't on my head, recite Waheguruji da naam whenever I am tying my joora, fifty and when i place the Dastar on my head and I mata thek and kiss  it before I do. And when I do tie it (every 4 months when the starch starts to weaken) I make sure that I pooni and tie it with much love and whilst reciting paath. I get that if someone treats their turban like a hat (eg: throwing it on the floor, cramping it or just disrespecting it) then this is unacceptable but just cos one puts their pagg on their head rather than tying it each time doesn't mean they treat it as such. (and let's be honest, starched or not we've all put our dad's pagg on our head like a hat when we were kids as a joke and meant no disrespect. Intention is everything). Ik Singhs who get angry tying their pagg and start doing maa/phen di gaaliyan, and when they take it off they just throw to the side and wait to tie it again next time. (Also, I'm from a Jat Sikh family so pls don't try to make this about "starched paggs are tarkhan/caste based" or anything stupid like that). PS: I do remember that stupidness in the 90s/early 2000s UK when Sikh men used to have a tiny starched paggs and were completely clean shaven or had a little goatee like Herbie Sahara/ Vijay from achanak. Now THAT was stupid and deserves all the hate but I just mean the concept of a starched dastar whether it's Punjabi Style, Kenyan style or whatever
    • Anyone know how to tie this turban? My Nani's dad tied it, it was starched but i can't work out whether the pooni was kenyan orpunjabi (like folded or an actual pooni). This was very common before partition, and uses a single dastar (not double stitched). Is it js Kenyan pagg with a higher larr?
    • It doesn't matter. What the nihangs did 100 years ago has no relevance today. Because people fight differently now. As a karate black belt, 90% of what we learn is useless, cos it revolves around how people fought 100 years ago. Today, most teenage boys likely to cause fights (at least in the uk) do boxing. But when boxing was really popular, people used to throw punches, hence why the "man to man fist fight" image was there. But now that UFC is popular, people do all sorts like grappling, knees and all (even with no training).  And also, I highly doubt anyone ever attacked a nihang Singh unarmed back then, just by seeing their saroop with shastaraan. What they did do, however, was Loh Mushti but that was more of a sport than a combat system. They definitely would have trained in basic fighting like wrestling and strikes but not a system. Because any good fighter knows that trying to find a "code" to fight by is stupid. But in terms of unarmed fighting, it was rare and probably revolved around disarming an armed attacker (do NOT even attemp to learn that, you will get killed and there's no point even trying to learn).   If you're interested for historical/ preservation purposed then great, but if you want to learn it for self defense or fighting tactics then pls don't, because what worked then won't work now and Nihangs were probably quite limited in hand to hand combat training cos they're armed to the teeth, deterring any unarmed attacker and killing one if they tried to fight
