BREAKING: PATIALA UNIVERSITY

LIBRARIAN ATTEMPTS TO

DESTROY RARE SIKH

MANUSCRIPTS

Students of Punjabi University Patiala today foiled

an attempt by Librarian and other conspirators to

sell/destroy rare handwritten manuscripts related

to Sikhi.

Gurbani Pothiya, Historic Literature and writings,

handwritten manuscripts were being sold off in

Crap (RADDI) by Librarian. When Students

noticed it, they stopped the truck and took

literature in their possession. Librarian SAROJ

BALA said she has got atleast ONE COPY of

every Book/Writing which was being Sold, but

when the students demanded her to show the

copies she could not. Instead she tore down one

Magazine Nirguniara which students had

recovered from truck.

Now the SIKH STUDENTS are protesting against

this conspiracy to destroy SIKH HISTORICAL

BOOKS which were being stored in University.

They have demanded suspension of Saroj Bala

and filing a case against her and her co-

conspirators and have demanded DIGITIZATION

of all the Manuscripts which have been recovered

and which are present in University LIbrary.

EXCLUSIVE REPORT: How Students Prevented Punjabi …:

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO REPORT :

On Dumping Away Rare

Documents in Punjabi

University

Sikh Siyasat Bureau

Patiala: A serious matter has come into light

where Punjabi University Patiala was trying to

dump away rare documents, including some

manuscripts. On March 15 some students noticed

that many documents, books, rare newspapers

and some manuscripts were being loaded to a

truck. On inquiring the matter students came to

know that the University had sold out these

documents to a scrap collector as “waste-

papers”.

Ranjeet Singh one of the students who took lead

in this issue told Sikh Siyasat News that the

documents which were being taken out of the

University as ‘waste-paper’ included copies of

rare newspapers such as “Khalsa Samachaar”

and Punjabi magazines like Nirguniara. It also

included many books such as transliteration of

Kuran and copies of Bible.

“One of my friends informed me that a truck full

of documents was being taken away from Dr.

Ganda Singh Reference Library. He told me to

check it myself. I went there to check and found

that many rare documents were being loaded to

the truck” said Jagtar Singh, a Ph. D student.

When students asked University librarian to

explain the move she said that the university was

possessing original copies of all the documents

and only duplicate copies were sold out as scrap.

“Librarian m’aam told us that the library was in

possession of duplicate copies of all these

documents but when we asked her to show

duplicate copies of some selected documents she

could not produce anything”, said Ranjeet Singh.

“She took away those documents and later

refused to produce even those copies that we had

selected from the heap of documents that were

unloaded from truck of scrap collector” Ranjeet

Singh added.

A student shows copy of a rare Punjabi magazine

torn by university Librarian

Jagtar Singh told SSN that when he asked the

Librarian to show duplicate copy of a particular

issue of Nirguniara magazine, she snatched the

magazine from his hands and tore it away. He

also shows some torn parts of the magazine.

The issue took serious turn and the librarian had

to submit her resignation and the documents

were offloaded from the truck. The university

administration has formed a four member probe

committee to probe the matter.

Dr. Gurnam Singh, who is one of members of four

member probe committee told SSN that the

committee has directed the library staff to sort

out the documents and prepare a list of all the

documents, manuscript and books.

A team of Sikh Siyasat News also visited the

Punjabi University on March 15 evening and found

that a large number of documents (that were

being dumped away by the university) were

related to 1984-85 period when the Indian state

had unleashed it’s oppression to snub Sikh

political movement in Punjab.

Sources also told Sikh Siyasat News (SSN) that

many of the documents that were being sold out

as waste papers were part of ‘rare collection’

kept at Dr. Ganda Singh Reference Library.

University Registrar Dr. Davinder Singh admitted

that there were discrepancies on the party of

university administration in selling out waste

papers.

Punjabi University vice-chancellor Dr. Jaspal

Singh did not respond to queries on this issue.

One being asked to present his version of this

issue, Dr. Jaspal Singh preferred to remain tight

lipped.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
