[QUOTE="OSingh, post: 151605, member: 15900"] Its absurd to say that because bhai Thakur Singh ji, sevadar of Damdami Taksal believed that was bhai Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale alive that 1984 struggle died. This is not logical. Here is a brief biography of bhai Thakur Singh ji: [I][SIZE="2"]Was born in 1915,village Eechogill, Dist Lahore (Pakistan) to the respected Baba Bahadur Singh and Mata Prem Kaur Jee[/SIZE][/I] [I][SIZE="2"]Both his parents were Amritdhari[/SIZE][/I] [I][SIZE="2"]Bhai Thakur Singh left home and went to Bhindra, Giani Gurbachan Singh ji (Jathedar of Damdami Taksal) recognised Thakur Singh's spiritual state and thus put him in charge of Langar, this seva was performed with much love and commitment, after 2 & half years seva bhai Gurbachan Singh accepted Thakur Singh into the Jatha and taught him the knowledge of god.[/SIZE][/I] [I][SIZE="2"]Until Gurbachan Singh left his body for the next world, Thakur Singh did seva of Garveye (close associate) for 22 years.[/SIZE][/I] [I][SIZE="2"]After the death of Gurbachan Singh ji, Thakur Singh carried on seva of langer and sangats, with Giani Kartar Singh Jee Khalsa[/SIZE][/I] [SIZE="2"][I]Giani Kartar Singh Jee had much respect for bhai Thakur Singh & would discuss decisions to be made with Baba Jee. This time was a critical period for Sikh’s as there were many efforts being made to silence the Sikh community, as a political and faith group. Giani Kartar Singh Jee [B]held 37 major processions which woke the sleeping Sikh masses to their identity[/B]. The government were trying to silence Kartar Singh and were making plan’s to arrest him, Kartar Singh said the follwing in response to this, ‘’If the government arrest me, then after me Baba Takhur Singh Jee will be responsible for Damdami Taksal. They can give the seva of leadership to whom they please.” After Giani Kartar Singh left their body, Baba Jee appointed bhai Jarnail Singh Jee the leader of Damdami Taksal, Sant Jee would always heed Baba Jee’s advice.[/I][/SIZE] [SIZE="2"][I]Thousands have been inspired through parcher organised by Baba Jee and have taken Amrit.

Yet some people are suggesting that Thakur Singh is responsible for demise of 84 struggle, this is simply not true.
