Chote Sahibzadey - The Youngest Martyrs In History

As the festive period approaches, the Sikh people will be commemorating the martyrdom of Baba Zorawar Singh Ji and Baba Fateh Singh Ji on the 26th December. Many historians have given them the title of the world’s youngest martyrs. December 26th 1705 is seen as one of the darkest days in Sikh history, when two young innocent children were mercilessly bricked alive by the mughal regime of Sirhind. Their supreme sacrifice should never be forgotten, and all Sikhs should draw inspiration from the valour and courage displayed by the young souls...

Sikh Youth! Who Are You? (Watch, Listen & Learn)

Its a shame to say but in this day and age, modern day society has become a big influence on the young generation in the 21st century, majority of youngsters have forgotten about their history or have never been educated.

Sikhs throughout history have sacrificed their lives in order for the Sikh nation to live on, but nowadays Sikhi is only left in name, will we continue to ignore our history or will we keep it alive?

NOW IS THE TIME TO WATCH, LISTEN AND LEARN!
OR HAVE YOU GONE ASTRAY AND FORGOTTEN WHO YOU ARE AND WHERE YOU COME FROM?
WAKE UP SIKH YOUTH BEFORE ITS TOO LATE, BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T THEN WHO WILL TELL THE STORIES OF THOSE BRAVE SIKHS?
WHO FOUGHT ON THE BATTLEFIELDS TIL THEIR LAST BREATH, SO THAT THE NISHAN SAHIBS OUTSIDE OUR GURDWARE CAN STILL STAND TODAY!

Sundri - The Brave Kaur (Animation Movie)

Based on a popular folk song and set in the historical period of Mir Manu that is notorious for large scale massacre of the Sikhs, Sundri is a symbolic representative of that milieu. Nawabs and courtiers were bent upon annihilating the Sikhs. The rulers were lustful and tyrannical. Hindus as a class failed to meet the challenge. At the best they could offer compensation to get back the captured girls.

The story depicts incidents and events which inculcate universal brotherhood and love for humanity. A Sikh girl treats an injured Moghul sepoy but on learning that she is a Sikh woman he attacks with his dagger. Surasti, the earlier name of Sundri, was forcibly taken away by the Moghul official and left to the destiny by her own husband and father.

Sundri depicts the story of the Sikh women during those hard times, where they remained steadfast and composed, facing ordeals and hardships but still smiling in the name of the Guru.

Supreme Sacrifice By Guru Tegh Bahadur

Born in Amritsar, Guru Tegh Bahadur was the ninth of the ten Gurus who founded Sikhi.

He's honoured and remembered as the man who championed the rights for all religious freedom

Contributions:

He taught liberation from attachment, fear and dependence. Strength should be gained through truth, worship, sacrifice and knowledge.

During the reign of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, Islam was imposed on the people. Hindu temples were demolished and turned into mosques, higher taxes were charged to non-Muslims and the Emperor persecuted those who would not conform to Islamic law.

Guru Tegh Bahadur spoke out amid this persecution. He refused to convert to Islam and in 1675, he was beheaded in Delhi. The site of his execution was later turned into an important Gurdwara.

He married Bibi Gujjari and they had one son: the tenth Guru, Guru Gobind Singh.

He founded the city of Anandpur which later became a centre of Sikhi.

He is also remembered for his poetry, much of which is included in the Guru Granth Sahib.

(The video below is the Bani by Guru Tegh Bahadur)

Sikh Warriors

It was a documented fact that Sikh warriors were the most feared and fearless warriors on the battle field, the Mughals, the Persians & even the British documented this in their dairies, reports to their superiors and etc.

They did not get this reputation by just eating Alu Pratha, they trained their butts off! Not just physically but spiritually as well each soldier was trained to kill anything that moved in a 30 yard radius, they were so good that it is said that each man was equivalent to fifty of any other army’s of that time. Each Sikh warrior was called Fauj which literally means a battalion.

Didn't get his reputation, merely by eating Alu Paratha

They achieved this reputation by training in armed, unarmed combat & meditating countless numbers of hours. The martial art they trained in was Shastar Vidya, literally meaning Science of weapons but i interpret it as the science of making your body a weapon.

I leave you with this quotation written in the Jang Namah (battle chronicles) by Quzi Nur Mohammed in 1765, He was a staunch enemy of the Sikhs but he goes into a rosary of praise when he goes into defining qualities of Sikh Warriors.

” … If you cherish the desire of learning the art of war, face them on the battle field. When they hold their mighty sword, they gallop from Hind to Sind. Nobody however strong and wealthy dare oppose them. If their sword struck a coat of mail, the coat itself becomes the enemy’s shroud. Each and every one of them look like massive boulders of rock. In a grandeur, each one of them excels fifty men…

Spoken Words - Time 2 Act

Take a seat sit down and relax, im just gona point out afew facts
so listen up carefully cos it’s the time to act
Through out our history we've been sacrificing
We’ve been boiled alive, hacked to pieces and yet still surviving
We need to learn and educate our selves
Through this time of kaljug we gotta learn to survive
Remembering the lord all through the day and night
And learning the difference between wrong and right
Singh is known to be a king
Only when he follows Guru’s hukam
He meditates on the words of God
Frees himself from kaam krodh lobh moh hankaar
And in front of guru granth sahib ji he becomes the shining star
Mighty warriors such as Baba Deep Dingh Ji and Banda Singh Bahadur,
the Khalsa stands up for human rights inspired by Guru Tegh Bahadur,
our history is full of so many martys
we keep the legacies alive inspired by our forefathers
so here’s a small benti to all you out there
It’s nearly the end of year 2008
Let’s not hold anymore debates
Stand as the Khalsa strong and straight
Lets get our act together, before its to late...

Are You Aware Of Kaur 2 Khan?

"K 2 K" - Kaur to Khan

These extremists gather, urging Muslims to seduce and convert Sikh girls.

AL-Kalifa (2005) stated,"It is easy to take the Sikh girls out on a date as they generally like a good drink and from there gradually they can be brought into Islam".

'Muslims are being paid 10,000 pounds to convert a Sikh girl to Islam'(Daily Star, Front page 26th July 2005).

Kaur 2 Khan is a common phrase used with Islamic circles referring to the conversion of Sikh girls to Islam.

You may think why Sikh girls are easily targeted? It is a common known fact around the Muslim community that Sikh girls like a good drink, and a dance after. They have a firm belief that to get with a Sikh girl is easy as Sikh youngsters have much more freedom and trust than many other immigrant communities. If a Sikh guy is converted then only he becomes converted, if a Sikh girl is taken, a whole generation is taken!

After failing victim to this deception, many youngsters believe that they cannot come back once they have taken that step out of Sikhi. They can come back, as Guru Ji is forgiving and loves his children more than anything. But we must also learn from our mistakes. It is never too late. If you know someone in that dilemma help them to come back to their Sikhi home. If they are afraid to go back to their family, get in touch with a local youth group or Sikh society who may be able to help find a safe location.

Conversions into ISLAM almost occur out of a persons IGNORANCE or MISUNDERSTANDING of their own religion. Take time to understand your own religion and educate others. The process of conversion is usually very SUBTLE and GRADUAL. It occurs progressively UNDERMINING YOUR CULTURE and RELIGION through misquoting religious texts.

Don't ever forget what your great ancestors went through at the hands of the Moghuls in India. We should never forget what these mighty LIONS have gone through to protect our religion, our culture and faith.

Please spread the msg about this group to as many fellow Sikhs as you can! This is not hate literature but one of awareness and protection of our people!

They couldn't finish us when we were made to retreat into the jungles!

They couldn't finish us when we were cut piece by piece!

And now they have begun to use other means of destroying our beloved Sikhi!

Prevention is better than cure, arm yourself with Knowledge...

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!
