What Is Bandi Chhor Divas?

[simran345]

Sangat Ji,

Bandi Chhor is coming up next week and some of you may be making preparations for what is generally mistakenly celebrated as Divali.

There is a lot of confusion about why and whether sikhs celebrate this or not. Please watch and share this video to clear things up!

Again this is a recent thing here in the UK, when I was young it was always labelled Diwali, this down to the lack of knowledge by our idiotic parents and preachers in Gurdwaras. Thankfully it's now being addressed.

Sangat Ji,

Have you ever wondered WHY Sikhs celebrate Diwali? Is it correct for us to do so?

Watch as Jagmeet Singh "stops the show" in Central London's Trafalgar Square at an event hosted by Boris Johnson, Mayor of London!

Find out about the "Real Sikh Diwali" called Bandi Chor Divas. In this video, the western public also find out about the plight of Sikh Political Prisoners illegally detained in Punjab and the fight of Bapu Surat Singh Khalsa - Sangharsh Jaari Hai, who is on an indefinite Hunger Strike since January 16th 2015.
