Found extremely rare 1st Punjab Regiment badge. My Grandfather was part of this regiment from 1st Dec 1941 to 1946. Later this regiment was amalgamated with the 14th, 15th and 16th Punjab Regiments of Pakistan. Sikhs from 1st PR were transferred to 1 Sikh now 4 Mech Infantry.
In every nook and corner of Punjab, you will find families whose sons came home draped in the Tri-colour. What are you even talking about? There is absolutely no need to prove our nationality or symbolic rejection of Khalistan to you or to anyone in this country.
Now that the Indian media contingent has arrived in Turkey, I just pray they don't go overboard and screw up the tremendous work our Armed Forces and NDRF are doing.
The more you listen to Khalistanis, the more you realise that the gyaan fed by ISI through Whatsapp University reflects in their speeches. Every village kid grew up watching Ram Leela. We may have created our own Punjab version of it but we never disrespected any Hindu gods.

. His views mirror the sentiments of the people of Punjab. It is very important for the nation to understand the psyche of the people before commenting on any issue. Video credit- OnAir.
We need Sikh intellectuals to come forward and voice the genuine concern of Sikhs. Its high time that the bullshit of Amritpal and his followers is silenced before its too late.
No matter how impressive his credentials, a man who takes up arms against his own men and brothers can never be respected. Same goes for the government and his fellow officers who ruined his career.

A lot of people from my community gets triggered and raged when someone talks about KPS Gill. Their usual comback is that he was a butcherer and insulted the modesty of a woman. How come no body talks about those Militants who forcefully entered the houses across Punjab …

Never did I imagine witnessing a day when these armchair Twitter warriors (the BJP RW Troll Army) would stoop to the level of branding even retired soldiers as anti-nationals. It's ironic to see them question the very institution they rely on for their livelihood.
Simply wearing uniform doesn’t make you a More Patriot than others or a person who speaks Truth. BJP got Hundreds of Millions of Votes to Run this country & it will be repeated again in 2024. What have you got apart from throwing your uniform on Twitter again & again to prove
Kudos to

for releasing the CCTV footage of the incident. This is a tight slap on the face of every pseudo-nationalist, media journalist, and the troll factory who are the lapdogs of the government. Their only job is to destroy the peace & harmony of the nation.

Here’s the list of Canadian operatives handed by Punjab CM to Justin Trudeau back in 2018. Canada has a lot to answer rather than acting like a cry baby.
An old video from my phone’s archive.
It was a wonderful moment to witness the morning rays of the sun brighten up Akal Takht and standing below it the soul-touching music of the Sarangi instrument being played by Dhadi Jatha. This is our beautiful Punjab.
I guess we are giving unnecessary attention to Puneet Sahani. Let the dog bark. He is planted here to create a rift between the two communities. Any sensible government would have blocked him by now, but he enjoys impunity only because this rift directly benefits the government.
Governments should never repeat a violent history and people should not give them the opportunity to do so. Punjab will prevail and come out this political turmoil. Sharing this clip of Khushwant Singh who quoted Muzaffar Razmi on the floor of the Parliament after Op Blue Star.
It is pointless to lend support to anyone before they have proven their mettle. Deep Sidhu, Amritpal and now Reena Rai, what have they really done for Punjab except blabbering. Who are these people without media? We have seen enough destruction because of these opportunists.

Sharp and very hard hitting words coming in from SGPC. In complete support with this statement. Its high time that there is a full-stop put on the casual usage of the term Khalistanis for anyone opposing the government.
Governments don't hold public discussions before arresting someone. It's not necessary to seek Balkaur's approval or permission. Sidhu moosewala ek aam banda si, ohnu aam rehnd do. Rabb na banayo. Seeking justice for your son is your right and I pray that you get it soon.

#GunnersDay
. A picture of my Great Grandfather Sardar Singh’s unit, No.7 Bengal Mountain Battery. In the pic, You can notice the said battery drawn up with its guns on pack mules and other mules loaded with ammunition.
Happy to share with you all that after extensive research on my Great Grandfather Sardar Singh’s service history with Bengal Mountain Battery, finally I have managed to find two pictures of his section serving in Chumbi as part of British Expedition in Tibet 1903-04.
Molested women, took refuge, looted and plundered the homes of innocent people, killing those who protested? There are tons of such stories to share about what happened during the time of the insurgency. This one-sided approach of looking at criminal activities must stop.
Change your mindset and look at the present situation in Punjab with an unbiased approach only then you will realise that these preventative measures taken by the Govt of Punjab is to save us from those darker days.
@HVSBanwait
Please don’t make this an ‘Our’ thing. Judge his actions as an individual act not on the basis of ‘Ours’. KPS Gill was ‘Ours’ too, so why do ‘Ours’ have a problem with him? He wiped off militancy. It is simply about working/acting within the boundaries of the Indian Constitution.
1 Sikh under the command of Lt Col Dewan Ranjit Rai where the first to be inducted in Kashmir to face the Pakistan backed Raiders. He was unfortunately killed in action and was posthumously awarded the Maha Vir Chakra. Pic - Lt Col Dewan Ranjit Rai on extreme left.
Tell me one country in the world that is giving free and unnecessary airtime to Khalistanis apart from India? The answer is none. They are barking because people like you are giving them attention. This is a dangerous electoral game the government and media are playing. Stop it!
Horrifying. Khalistani terrorists and goons attack a member of Indian Diaspora in Vancouver, Canada for objecting to Khalistanis burning Indian tricolour. Canadian Police allows Khalistani illiterate thugs and terrorists to burn Indian national flag. Shame on you Justin Trudeau.
Accusing India helps gather domestic votes for Canadian Politicians. Canada is going the Pakistan way by promoting religious extremism. Any nation who supports this ideology and makes it a part of its international policy is sure to be doomed.
Today we learned of allegations that agents of the Indian Government murdered Hardeep Singh Nijjar — a Canadian killed on Canadian soil.
To all Canadians, this is my vow.
I will leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of justice, including holding Narendra Modi accountable.
1. Raj Karega Khalsa
English translation- The purest will prevail
It does not mean Sikhism will rule/takeover the world
2. Khalistan
English translation- The land of pure
It does not mean the land of only Sikhs.
Do not believe in Amritpal & Gang who misinterpret our religion.
Sacrilege has become a political tool to decimate the govt in power and alienate the people of the state. Druggies, jobless, atheists, and converts are easy to approach people for such a task. Time has come to handle this carefully instead of Taliban-style spot punishment.
War in reality is like hell. All Quiet On The Western Front, what an amazing movie. A must-watch for those who wish to understand the ugly nature of war, its absurdity and pointlessness.
The Rajouri Sector attack needs a response. And the response must be swift and doubly painful. This is the only lesson that Pakistan needs to be taught. They don’t know any other.
I wish SGPC and other political parties were so proactive the way they are right now to issues like water crisis, drugs, unemployment, churches being built, and people leaving for abroad etc etc. then things would have been much better today.
Fake handles pretending to be a Sikh, Hindu, Muslim, NGO and even Religious Organisation are propping up in thousands, every single day. Please verify the handle before you jump to conclusions and start bashing someone or the entire community.
The biggest problem with NRIs is that they go berserk as if some kind of apocalypse has hit Punjab. Firstly this is not a mass arrest but a selective arrest of goons who are defying Indian laws by brandishing weapons and threatening to overthrow the government.
internet blackouts in punjab, paramilitary deployed into punjab,
mass arrests in punjab
yet complete silence from so many indians who are the first to speak about “human rights” and “social justice”
this is why so many of us sikhs don’t identify as indians or south asian
Absolutely disgusting to post a tweet without having any idea about the timing of the IAF Chief’s statement and CDS crash incident. You call yourself a Editor In Chief/journalist?

@raghav_chadha
this is the state of Jails in Punjab. Prisoners have access to mobile phones and the internet. They are running extortion rackets, threatening people with such ease and no fear of the law. It's been a year, you could have fixed this mess.
Hon'ble Vice-President and Chairman, Rajya Sabha, Shri Jagdeep Dhankhar, arrives at the Parliament House on the first day of the Monsoon Session, 2023.
The only people to feel lost amidst this Indo-Canadian diplomatic tension is a common Indian Sikh who has nothing to do with either Khalistan or Politically infused hyper-nationalism of India.
This article has been published by
@firstpost
which states that the murderer is a Khalistani. If you read the article you realise that the claim is based purely on social media discussions. Use of such a bold headline without any facts or source.
With flags in hand and tears in their eyes, the villagers of Martyr Col. Manpreet Singh received his body. Everyone was chanting slogans of ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai.’ Who can exemplify patriotism better than Punjab ?
Migration of people from other states due to economic factors should not be viewed as an attack on the community. In that case, Maharashtra stands highest in the ranking where lakhs of people mainly from UP and Bihar come every day in search of opportunities.
Excellent execution of the operation to arrest this Amritpal by
@BhagwantMann
and
@PunjabPoliceInd
. Even the opposition and Modi media is clueless how to react these developments.
You people simply need to drop the idea of Khalistan. If you think calling a Hindu god terrorist will achieve Khalistan, then you are nothing but a bunch of people having Taliban ideology. Hundreds in the audience support what this bastard said, so its not just about the speaker.
Babaji where were you when Amritpal and gang were brandishing rifles and threatening to overthrow the government? Stop this one-sided talk of peace and harmony.
@HVSBanwait
True, then why combine the issue of modesty of a woman with his efforts put in to control the insurgency in Punjab? These are two separate issues and need to be debated separately.
Our soldiers are in eyeball to eyeball situation in eastern ladakh under the war clouds, where temp is in minus but the whole nation is busy watching Kangana’s controversial landing in Mumbai. Are we even worth defending ?
This is the kind of support the family members who lost their loved ones need. Not premature Rest in Peace announcement on social media. Deeply touched by the gesture of the citizens of Tamil Nadu state.
Hahahaha! This is getting too much. Is there no CCTV camera in Punjab that can show the face of a man? Don’t drag this mess any further. There is enough evidence against him, so confirm his arrest and take him to court. Reinstate withheld accounts of journalists at the earliest.
The initiative started by
@SGPCAmritsar
to train the youth for civil and armed forces examinations is an excellent step towards the progress and development of

@HatindersinghR
Hatinder Ji thank you so much for sharing your views through this video. I completely agree to each and every word you have spoken out from your heart. I just hope that people realise the true essence of Kirpan and never ever misuse it during such incidents. 🙏🏻
Kesari Flag hoisted on the Red Fort is not just the flag of Khalistan but It is the identity of Khalsa Panth. How does one draw a line between the two? This confusion is what media is capitalising on. Having said this,the kesari flag belongs to the Gurdwaras and not the Red Fort.

Amritpal Singh’s rise has been meteoric and the charismatic 30-year-old has quickly become an influential figure among Sikhs. He entered public life just last year and immediately grabbed national attention for one big demand considered controversial (even criminal)in India 2/12

Republic brings in Puneet Sahani as a panelist to discuss Indo-Canada diplomatic tension. This man spreads Hindu-Sikh and Anti-Muslim hate 24/7 on social media. This is what is wrong with India and most Sikhs are fearlessly calling out this shit.
Memorial stones inside the Golden Temple complex to mark the raising day of the regiment to seek blessings of the almighty or to pay tribute by commemorating at the temple for those who were killed in action in several wars we have fought.
Now reading: Shadow War by Arif Jamal. In this book, he shares his insights on GHQ’s role in channelising struggle, insurgency and proxy war in Kashmir. This book was recommended by a like minded follower on Twitter. It's a rare find, lucky to grab a copy.
It’s difficult to understand why anyone would support a terrorist like Hardeep Nijjar, despite knowing that he was on the Interpol List. Using the excuse of past GOI prosecutions in Punjab during the emergency is an unjustifiable reason.
Sikh terrorist! Hardeep Singh Nijjar, the chief of the banned Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF) and one of India's most-wanted terrorists. Be careful with your words. Bhagwant should stay out of this matter. This is best handled at the central level.
Nagar Kirtan carrying Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj in Mumbai from Pakistan. Thanking almighty for giving me this opportunity to witness this wonderful event. Waheguru Ji Da Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Di Fateh.

Two Qs for those outraging against Operation Blue Star:
Firstly, Who brought the first weapon in the Harmandir Saheb in 1984?
Secondly, who killed the first Khalsa inside the Harmandir Saheb in 1984?
Answer these questions first, then we can talk further.
Not long ago Delhi police thrashed ex-servicemen during OROP rally in New Delhi. Now Shivsena supporters beat up Ex-Navy officer. India’s political situation is in deep mess and its getting worse day by day.
Just attended a wedding of my school friends. They finally decided to get married after being in a relationship for over 17 years. I was the one to set them up in school. Cheers to that 🍻
