| Re: New: Blog at Punjabi Heritage News by 3 Singhs and a Kaur When I visited Sirhind..now called Fatehgarh Sahib..my children wnated to see the Sirhind dee deewaar..where the Chhoteh Sahibzadehs were martyred ? Nowhere to be seen..finally found a small piece enshriend in a bhora inside a glass case on which a Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji was Paraksh....they wanted to see the Thanda Burj where Mata Gujar Kaur Ji was kept prisoner...transformed into a marble enclosure..no more kachi garrhee at chamkaur..no more Bebeh nanakis House and khooh..marbled over..all Historic Khoos all marbled up and DRY..jands rooted out, kilas, forts all are crumbling..the Forts at Anandpur Sahib are just places on a map...and on the other hand in numerous historical Gurdwaras i saw GHOR MANMATT..trees wrapped in red cloths, tharras and marhees, etc etc all with "signboards" placed nearby giving a distorted version of history (fake tall tales) signed by the Manager. and so on to give an air of authority. This Holy tree was used by so and so to tie his horse...what remains is a DEAD STUMP, with Marble Tharra around it, a red cloth/rumallas covering it, enclosured and people matha teking money into the goluck placed nearby...EVERY CORNER you TURN..there is a GOLUCK...some even having LIVE BABAS with tokrees who stare at you if you pass by without donating...all this is VAPAAR..plain and simple..DAY LIGHT ROBBERY of sikh sangats FOOLISH enough to matha tek to dead tree stumps. |
