Went through the life magazine archives, you could tell which photos were of Sikhs migrating because you can see their jooreh. 

A few of the photos had a description stating which religion they belonged to but most didn't, but you still can tell which photos are of Sikhs.

Excellent photos. Awesome finds. Thanks for posting them mate. 

The river crossing one interested me in particular as my grandad once told me how, pre-partition, you used to be able to cross rivers in Punjab on small boats made by inflating up like a balloon the skin of a cow

You can tell that the Life magazine photographer was most interested in the breast-feeding one because he kept taking that photo at different angles but it was the river crossing one interested me in particular as my grandad once told me how, pre-partition, you used to be able to cross rivers in Punjab on small boats made by inflating up like a balloon the skin of a cow

Yeah your right, its such a innocent photo of a young family with a mother feeding her child but the perverted gorah clearly had something else in mind. I'v actually noticed this a lot in the photos of Indian women taken by British photographers   they took photos from dodgy angles. 

But im glad that these goreh took these photos because they preserved our history through these photos.

That image of the young family with the 3 kids is also on display at the virasat e khalsa in anandpur, they made it into a massive wall poster.   

A lot of the people in these photos dont even have shoes on, bechaare.

and you can see how hot it must of been, it looks really hot and bright 

most of them have nothing with them apart from their cattle and carts. 

these people went through a lot

Edited - Yes we did. Photographer doing his job during the time where our brothers and sisters were literally going thru hell. Due to civility issue, we removed breast feeding bibis picture.

    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
