Sikhs - Baara Baj Gaya!

 

“It’s easy to joke on a Sardar, but It's too difficult to be a Sardar" 

 I was standing at Jalandhar station when my attention went towards a Sikh youth standing near me wearing a black turban having a long beard and wearing a kirpan (knife) over his shirt looking similar to a terrorist.  After a while, one local train arrived, which was totally packed. The Sikh youth tried to alight the train but failed to do so. Just then a voice was heard from the back coach 'Sardarji Barah Baj gaye' (Sir it's 12 o'clock!) The Sikh youth looked over at that voice maker who was a young Mischievous type of person and instead of showing any anger made a smile towards him. 

 The smile made was so enigmatic that it seemed as if some type of truth lies behind it. Not able to resist my temptation, I walked towards him and asked why he smiled at that person who teased him. The Sikh youth replied, 'He was not teasing me but was asking for my help'.  I was surprised with these words and he told me that there was a big history behind that which one should know. I was eager to know the History and the Sikh youth narrated:  During 17th Century, when Hindustan was ruled by Mughals, all the Hindu people were humiliated and were treated like animals. Mughals treated the Hindu women as their own property and were forcing all Hindus to accept Islam and even used to kill the people if they were refusing to accept.  That time, our ninth Guru, Sri Guru Teg Bahadarji came forward, in response to a request of some Kashmir Pandits to fight against all these cruel activities. Guruji told the Mughal emperor that if he could succeed in converting him to Islam, all the Hindus would accept the same. 

But, if he failed, he should stop all those activities . The Mughal emperor happily agreed to that but even after lots of torture to Guruji and his fellow members he failed to convert him to Islam and Guruji along with his other four fellow members, were tortured and sacrificed their lives in Chandni Chowk.  Since the Mughals  were unable to convert them to Islam they were assassinated. 

Thus Guruji sacrificed his life for the protection of Hindu religion. Can anybody lay down his life and that, too, for the protection of another religion? This is the reason he is still remembered as "Hind Ki Chaddar", shield of India.  For the sake of whom he had sacrificed his life, none of the them came forward to lift his body, fearing that they would also be assassinated.  Seeing this incident our 10th Guruji! , Sri Guru Gobind Singhji (Son of Guru Teg Bahadarji) founder of khalsa (sikhs) made a resolution that he would convert his followers to such human beings who would not be able to hide themselves and could be easily located in thousands. Now every Hindu in this world is just and only because of Sri Guru Gobind Singh, otherwise they would have been converted to Islam.  

At the start, the Sikhs were very few in numbers as they were fighting against the Mughal emperors. At that time, Nadir Shah raided Delhi in the year 1739 and looted Hindustan and was carrying lot of Hindustan treasures and nearly 2200 Hindu women along with him. The news spread like a fire and was heard by Sardar Jassa Singh who was the Commander of the Sikh army at that time. He decided to attack Nadir Shah's Kafila on the same midnight. He did so and rescued all the Hindu women and they were safely sent to their homes. 

 It didn't happen only once but, thereafter, whenever any Abdaalis or Iranis had attacked and looted Hindustan and were trying to carry the treasures and Hindu women along with them for selling them in Abdal markets, the Sikh army although fewer in numbers, were brave hearted, and attacked them at midnight, 12 O'clock and rescued women.  After that time when there occurred a similar incident, people started to contact the Sikh army for their help and Sikhs used to attack the raiders at Midnight, 12 O'clock. Nowadays, these "smart people" have  spread these words that at 12 O'clock, the Sikhs go out of their senses. This historic fact was the reason which made me smile over that person as I thought that his Mother or Sister would be in trouble and wanted my help and was reminding me by saying  'Sardarji Barah Baj Gaye' 

 Please do forward this mail to all your friends so they can know about Sikh history.  "Its easy to joke on a Sardar, but It's too difficult to be a Sardar"...

Jo Beet Gayi So Baat Gayi - Poem by Hariwansh Rai Bachchan

जो बीत गई सो बात गई


जीवन में एक सितारा था
माना वह बेहद प्यारा था
वह डूब गया तो डूब गया
अंबर के आंगन को देखो
कितने इसके तारे टूटे
कितनी इसके प्यारे छूटे
जो छूट गये फ़िर कहां मिले
पर बोलो टूटे तारों पर
कब अंबर शोक मनाता है
जो बीत गई सो बात गई


जीवन में वह था एक कुसुम
थे उस पर नित्य निछावर तुम
वह सूख गया तो सूख गया
मधुबन की छाती को देखो
सूखी कितनी इसकी कलियां
मुरझाईं कितनी वल्लरियां
जो मुरझाईं फ़िर कहां खिली
पर बोलो सूखे फ़ूलों पर
कब मधुबन शोर मचाता है
जो बीत गई सो बात गई


जीवन में मधु का प्याला था
तुमने तन मन दे डाला था
वह टूट गया तो टूट गया
मदिरालय का आंगन देखो
कितने प्याले हिल जाते हैं
गिर मिट्टी में मिल जाते हैं
जो गिरते हैं कब उठते हैं
पर बोलो टूटे प्यालों पर
कब मदिरालय पछताता है
जो बीत गई सो बात गई


मृदु मिट्टी के बने हुए हैं
मधु घट फ़ूटा ही करते हैं
लघु जीवन ले कर आए हैं
प्याले टूटा ही करते हैं
फ़िर भी मदिरालय के अन्दर
मधु के घट हैं मधु प्याले हैं
जो मादकता के मारे हैं
वे मधु लूटा ही करते हैं
वह कच्चा पीने वाला है
जिसकी ममता घट प्यालों पर
जो सच्चे मधु से जला हुआ
कब रोता है चिल्लाता है
जो बीत गई सो बात गई

Gravity Defying sports actions

If it's anyone that can make you believe just for a second that the laws of gravity are temporarily ineffective, it's professional athletes.

Their athleticism, creativity and body control while flying through the air are characteristics to admire separately, but the end result of a great, air bending play is what really makes our jaws drop.

Here are the 20 moments that could have been featured in M. Night Shyamalan's new movie.

At the 1999 Summer X Games, Tony Hawk soared into skateboarding history and into the pop culture mainstream with his trademark 900.

The first 900 ever done in competition, Hawk completed two and a half revolutions before riding out his trick cleanly and capturing the "best-trick" gold medal.

Hawk's feat thrust skateboarding into the spotlight and marked the advent of the extreme sports movement right at the turn of the centur

Slide 3 of 22

Torn ligaments in Sam Bradford's hand didn't stop him from catching some air against the Oklahoma State Cowboys in the 2008 Bedlam game.

With the game on the line in the third quarter, Bradford scrambled to his right and got to the corner of the endzone before being flipped end-over-end and out of bounds.

Bradford scored on the next play and the Sooners got the win, 61-41

18. Chazz Woodson Says Hello

Slide 4 of 22

If you thought lacrosse was for rich, wimpy white kids, meet Chazz Woodson.

The 27-year-old out of Brown brings an electric brand of lacrosse that makes the heads of even the most ignorant sports fans' turn and watch.

This goal occurred in 2008 during a game against the Chicago Machine during Chazz's days with the L.A. Riptide. The goal I'm referring to appears right away but don't be afraid to watch the rest of the video, this dude's sick.

17. Ross Powers' Huge Air

Slide 5 of 22

Snowboarder Ross Powers made the 2002 Olympic crowd at Salt Lake City forget how cold it was for a couple of seconds during his gold medal run.

Powers opened up his run with a huge method grab that carried him 18 feet above the half pipe wall, a world record at the time.

The U.S. swept the half pipe competition. It was the first U.S. sweep of a winter Olympic event since 1956

Slide 6 of 22

Kirby Puckett's leaping catch against the plexiglass in Game 6 of the 1991 World Series robbed Ron Gant of an extra base hit, but also cemented Puckett's place in baseball history.

Puckett looks like he put springs into his cleats before he leaped to make this catch.

The Twins ended up winning the series in seven games

15. Sacre Bleu! Vince Carter Throws Down

Slide 7 of 22

Carter made an international splash when he took flight over 7'2" center Frederic Weis against Team France in the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

Carter picked off an outlet pass, lept up and spread his legs to clear the big Frenchman.

The French media dubbed it "Le Dunk De la Mort", which means "The Dunk of Death." The nickname later was cemented in history as the U.S. went on to win the gold that year.

14. Mikey Powell Flips Against UMass

Slide 8 of 22

Mikey Powell showed why he's one of the best lacrosse players of all time when he gave the crowd a little something extra to cheer about his senior year against UMass in the Carrier Dome in 2004.

Powell was gearing up for an offensive possession when he sprung forward into a front flip before progressing with the play.

Even the seemingly infinite reach of YouTube couldn't produce a video of this one. Making anyone but a die-hard Syracuse Lacrosse fan clueless to what this feat actually looked like.

Take it from me though, it was pretty sick
