Haryana Dhaddi Sabha :Dhadi Jathas Unite in Haryana For Revival of Folk Art

         

Taking a step towards the revival of Dhadi Jathas (Bard Groups), a group of Sikhs in Haryana have formed the Haryana Dhaddi Sabha in the memory of 17th Century dhadis (bards) Bhai Abdullah and Bhai Nath Mal, who were employed by Guru Hargobind to recite heroic ballads at Akal Takht Sahib in Amritsar.

Lakhwinder Singh Paras of Rajouli village in Ambala district was elected the president of the Sabha, after a meeting at Gurdwara Panjokhra Sahib in Ambala .Paras said the motive of the organisation was to organise and revive the art and support Dhadi Jathas of Haryana and ensure their welfare.

Dhaddis were distinct group performers who emerged in the times of Sikh gurus and they sang ballads of warriors playing instruments like dhadd and sarangi, which are folk instruments related to Punjab. They play an important role in preserving and telling the history related to Sikhism.

Lakhwinder Singh Paras said, “As per my knowledge, this is for the first time ever that dhadi jathas of Haryana have been united under an organisation. The motive is to revive and spread dhadi art in Haryana, Punjab, India, and rest of the world.

The organisation will help and support Dhadis in times of need and any family problems. The body will provide them loans from available funds without any interest which they can return in installments. The body will also help budding Dhadis with content and in all aspects.

There is a plan to open a training centre for teaching dhadi art to the young generation too and we will write to Community organisations and societies for establishing the institution.

” So far,20 Dhadi Jathas of Haryana have associated themselves with the organisation, including 10 from Ambala, four from Panchkula, three from Karnal, and two from Kurukshetra.

In pandemic Grip For Five Months, Amritsar’s War Memorial Bleeds

The state war heroes’ memorial and museum wears a deserted look in Amritsar 

Akin to other tourist establishments in the state, the coronavirus pandemic has also taken a toll on Punjab State War Heroes’ Memorial and Museum, which has been lying shut since March.

According to a rough estimate, the state-of-the-art memorial has been suffering a loss of around ₹20 lakh per month ever since the lockdown was imposed her

The memorial staff is being paid 4 lakh salary per month, besides monthly electricity bills of 3-7 lakh. Ever since its temporary closure, the memorial has made no money through tickets, which used to be around 10 lakh per month. Moreover, nearly 1 lakh is spent on its monthly maintenance. 

“Though the memorial is closed for the last five months, we have not laid off any of our staff members. We are managing everything with the reserved funds,” said Col (retd) HP Singh, project director of the memorial, which is spread over seven acres of land opposite India Gate on GT Road here. 

He said it was still unclear that when the memorial would be opened as till now they have not received any instruction from the government.

Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Prabandhak :Sikhs to Mark Guru Nanak Dev Anniversary

   

The preparations for the 551st birth anniversary and 481st death anniversary of the founder of Sikhism, Baba Guru Nanak, have commenced.

Reportedly, the decision on the participation in the events of Sikh pilgrims from different countries, including India, will be taken in coming weeks.

Indian pilgrims would be invited to participate if the Pak-India border would be opened.

India will also be asked to open the Kartarpur Corridor in September so that Sikh pilgrims can visit Gurdwara Darbar Sahib and perform rituals on the birth anniversary.

The death anniversary of Baba Guru Nanak will be observed from September 20 to 22. Local Sikh associations will be able to participate.

Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee(PSGPC) head Sardar Satwant Singh told The Express Tribune that various proposals have been considered for preparations for Baba Guru Nanak's 551st birth anniversary

He said Chairman Evacuee Trust Property Board Dr Amir Ahmad had presided over a meeting in this regard, in which he and other Sikh and Hindu leaders and officials of the board participated.

“Now we are going to celebrate Baba Guru Nanak's birthday as coronavirus is now somehow controlled in Pakistan but the danger is not over yet,” he said.

He also stated that the Pak-India border was closed due to coronavirus.

“If the borders are opened in September, then Indian Sikh pilgrims may be invited to attend but the final decision will be made later,” he said.

The sources revealed that PSGPC has demanded from the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) and the Indian government to send groups to Pakistan on the 551st birth anniversary of Baba Guru Nanak this year. 

The PSGPC has also demanded that the Kartarpur Corridor be reopened before Baba Guru Nanak's birth anniversary in November. Pakistan had opened the Kartarpur Corridor on June 29 but India has not yet allowed pilgrims to come to Pakistan, as per reports.
