Sikhi in Malwa

[puzzled]

Doaba has the weakest Sikhi and the reason is that there is not that much ithiaas in Doaba unlike Majha and Malwa which are deeply rooted in Sikh Ithiaas, People from these regions have that connection. These two regions have also seen a lot of Sants. Throughout the 80s and 90s Doaba was the least affected and most people around here dnt even know anything about Sant Bhindrawale other than his name. Everyone knows that Amritsar is our holiest city and it is in Majha, and then Malwa was blessed by Guru Gobind Singh ji and the ithiaas of the chote sahibzade.  Doaba cant offer that kind of ithiaas     so there is that lack of connection among the people there

bcoz of the lack of ithiaas there are hardly any historical gurdware there. 

some history of Doaba though

Bhagat Singh was born in Doaba near banga, Sant baba Harnaam Singh ji Rampur Khera Hashiarpur,   Singhs involved in 80s movment  Bhai Surinder Singh Sodhi, Gurdeep Singh Deepan Heranwala, Balwinder Singh Babbar and few others

famous Historical gurdware include Gurdwara Harian Belan Hoshiarpur, Gurdware in Sultanpur lodhi

And the other main obvious reason is that sikhs are a minority in doaba. doaba is hindu and dalit majority with dalits being the more socially/politically dominant, over 45% of doabas population is dalit. over 40% of the sirpanchs in the pinds in doaba are dalits, because of this doaba has always been a congress stronghold region as dalits and hindus vote congress. hindu obviously are hindus while dalits because of their political/social dominance dnt really identify with hindu or sikhi but have their own identity  mainly ravidassia and valmiki faiths    sikhs are tangled up some where in there

Sant Ishar Singh ji of Rara Sahib had a very strong vibration there (as well as globally), this might help explain.

Also (like you allude to) I didn't know it till recently but Machiwara is in Malwa too, just to give you an indication of what significant events have transpired there. I'm not knocking anyone in these troubled times but lots of Doabans seem very westernised, most especially in the US.   

 

I don't know where Sirhand is? Is it is Malwa? 

 

Majhails have historically provided a lot of fighters though, maybe because Amritsar is there?

Yeah, went to Sirhand and saw thundhaa burj. Also a Gurdwara called Manjhi Sahib, but I don't know what it is significant for?

Just looked at first post. Didn't know Taksaal started there!

i think taksaal started at sabo talwandi damdama sahib after guru ji gave baba deep singh ji instructions? 

sant jarnail singh ji was also born in moga malwa

talwandi damdama sahib

Where is that? 

 

Plus where is Sohan Singh Bhakha's pind? A fair few freedom fighters came from there.

One thing: I had/have a masuur in Malwa who does Chandi pooja, he says that what used to go on in the old days. Him and his brothers were known fistycuffers back in the day.
