Dear Singh ji and Kaur ji
This topic was in my mind from quite a some time but recently it just surfaced up
We all know about our recent past history in which Akal Takhat declared Jarnail Singh ji Shaheed , I know there are some people on the forum or out there who think other wise and they have full liberty to do but for a Sikh now the thing could be different now Akal Takhat has declared jarnail singh ji Shaheed (i know there will be some of my brother sikhs who will say no Akal Takhat is not authority blah.. blah... but just a reminder this authority was made by guru sahibaans and any body who has some problem with its functioning then they should come forward and do something to rectify it, just saying it is wrong does not mean anything and not abolishes its authority)

Now the issue is: given the fact Sant Jarnail Singh ji being declared martyr, did he ever get the respect a Sikh martyr deserves (just like bhai dyala ji , baba banda singh bahadar...and many more), and if not then what could be the reason ?One reason i can think of is his shaheedi was kept under cover for long 20 years or so and perhaps it failed to create the impact it should have done...
Now my second question is: What did Baba Thakur singh ji meant to achieve or achieved by keeping Jarnail Singh ji's shaheedi a secret? Actually this question troubles me a lot so would like to hear from all of you.
