Jaspal Singh "Pakistan Wala"

[GurSa Singh]

The head of Bhai Jaspal Singh from Peshawar

It's still disheartening to know that Bhai Jaspal Singh not been declared a Shaheed by the Kaum yet? Just 6 months ago he was beheaded and his head was sent back by the taliban in full sabat soorat, a few weeks later the other captive Sikhs were released and came back as monay who accepted the forced conversion to Islam.

If this was 100 years ago, we would have no issues remembering him as a Shaheed. So what's wrong with us today? Whilst we run around paying for plane tickets for our Jathedars/Mukhis and wearing Guru Ji's Bana as if we are part of some ancient costume drama, there are real Gursikhs in other countries who still have the anak of Sikhi in them.

If anyone is thinking about cutting their Kes, then take a look at the above picture and be inspired that even today there are GurSikhs who will give up their head rather than give up their Sikhi.

Parnaam Shaheeda Nu.

As manmukhs we can stuggle to think of death as beautiful but when looking at the face of Shaheed Bhai Jaspal Singh (above), who clearly refused to give up his Sikh faith when threatened with death, we are all struck by the peace and calm shown on his beautiful face, almost like the images we see of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji's head when Bhai Jetha presented to Dasmesh pita. The face of the Shaheed carries the same expression that it did in their life. Like the Mughals, Afghans, British and Indian Govt, the Taliban terrorists may have severed the head of Bhai Jaspal Singh from his body thinking they stole his life but they could not steal his inner peace or his conviction to Sikhi.

Mahapurshs' tell us that, "It is better to die as Khalsa than to live as anything else." Not everyone understands such a sentiment. In fact it is impossible to understand for one who does not live as Khalsa. Life is precious and no one gives it up easily, but for a true Khalsa there can be no other possible life, no other choice....

Dhan Guru Dhan Guru Pyarae!
