During the Famous Aklai MORCHAS of the 1920-19235's which brought the Britihs Govt to its KNEES and racist bigots like the Mahatma Gandhi also forced to acknowledge and send telegram to Baba Kharrak Singh ref: First Battle of Indian Independence WON " _ The Sikhs DIDNT know "politics"..thats why when India won Independence..another such Gandhi chela Nehru wrote to Master Tara Singh.."Times have CHANGED"...(meaning you are now slaves of US rather than the British ). Anyway there was this ONE MORCHA Called KIRPAN MORCHA..whereby the British govt tried to LIMIT the size of the Kirpan...and FAILED against the onslaught of the Sikh kaum...and the British Govt was wise enough and instead of saying.."Times have changed"..they Conferred the Award of
KIRPAN BAHADUR of the Morcha Dictator who won this battle of Sikh and INDIAN INDEPENCE.
