200 year old sikh build being demolished tonight!!

[puzzled]

I personally felt really sad when i saw the top part of the building tumbling down.  Respect to all the singhs that are sitting outside and stayed there all night.   They are passionate about their history and its importance.

If the sgpc has the slightest of interest in our history left in them then they should make a list of all the historical sikh structures in punjab and outside and make sure no one alters or destroys these structures. 

Forget repairing them but at least recognise them as important structures associated with our history.

I mean how nobody in the Kar Sewa crew questioned the idea of destroying a historical building. Instead, they start bellowing jakare when it came tumbling down! How disconnected from reality are these people?

They have done this for years, look at the Tanda Burj recently for example.

Thanda burj, chamkaur di ghari, bibi nanakis house, anandpur sahib forts, houses, bungas around harmandir sahib, the wall at sirhind 

Question is are the people who did this genuinely thick and ignorant?  Or has our heritage been systematically destroyed?    I mean who can be ignorant enough to raze down bibi nanakis over 500 year old house? Which "sikh"  would have the heart to do that?

These guys are illiterate, honestly.

After '84, when they were knocking down the Sarkari Takht and rebuilding the Sri Akal Takht Sahib, some Maha Moorakhs had started hammering away at the original brick Takht that was build by Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji and Bhai Gurdas Ji!!!!

Giani Mohinder Singh (the first secretary of the SGPC, who is retired at the time) had to protest there and tried very hard to convince them to stop destroying the Takht built by Guru Sahib. If it wasn't for him, we would have lost the original Takht!!!!

yeah i don't understand that, so the original akal takht was like a platform built by guru hargobind sahib ji? and then maharaja ranjit singh built the building on top which was attacked in 84,  the building built by ranjit singh was then demolished after the attack and a new akal takt building was built?  but the original akal takt platform built by guru ji is still there?    

did they demolish the building built by maharaja ranjit singh or did they just repair that one?

i never understood this 

[puzzled]

i found these pics too

That brick is the original Takht built by Guru Sahib. Maharaja Ranjit Singh built on top of it.

I think if you go there today, the brick is exposed behind some glass. Where Parkash is done is on top of the Brick Takht.

original chamkaur di ghari before it was demolished by the kar sewa babas. think the photo is taken while they are bringing it down

this karsewa baba jagtar singh kar sewa website claims that he built the new akal takht after it was demolished.
