Jallianwala Bagh’s Narrow Lane Gets New Sculptures

The narrow lane,the first stop for tourists visiting the historic Jallianwala Bagh memorial in Amritsar, has got a facelift. On April 13, 1919, this lane made the only entry and exit point to the Bagh.

Now, new sculptures of martyrs have come up on both high walls of the narrow lane. These sculptures represent ordinary Punjabis from different walks of life in the year 1919. They are sculptures of men, women, children — young and old — walking into the Bagh to never return.

“These sculptures will make visitors realise the people that walked into the Bagh on the day of Baisakhi in 1919. Earlier people walked this narrow lane without knowing its history. Now they will walk with history,” said Rajya Sabha member and the Trustee of Jallianwala Bagh Trust, Shwait Malik.

The lane has also got new floor and it has been partially covered from above to avoid the birds sitting on these sculptures.

BBC Declares Chandigarh As The Only Surviving Perfect City in The World

Human civilization has been long looking for utopic perfection.In BBC's recent article, author Jonathen Glancey concluded that unlike other ideal towns which are best left on paper, Chandigarh stands flourishing with roots in history and every growing culture. 

The idea of Chandigarh came after partition to show the world an Independent India can build a beautiful city

Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first prime minister, came up with a scheme for the new city in the foothills of the Himalayas that fused Modern Movement and Garden City ideals. And after pursuing the best of the world, Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier was given the opportunity to make his dream of an 'ideal town' come true.

       Le Corbusier designed the general layout of the city

Le Corbusier might have been the one to lay out the plan and concertize his dreams, but it was the people of Chandigarh that breathed life into its streets and modern structures

                        Sukhna Lake

The Sukhna lake, a rain-fed lake, was built by damming the Sukhna Choe and is breathtakingly gorgeous. The place offers peace and tranquility to the people of the city and is the perfect place for nature lovers.

What truly captures the spirit of the city is its people, who are extremely friendly. The city boasts of being a cosmopolitan one along with the serene calmness in the structure and the people. A city that perfectly juggles  between tradition and modernity.

The Montreal Sikh community was determined to give back during the COVID-19 crisis.

They did just that with a generous $6,500 donation that will make life easier for front-line workers at Lakeshore General Hospital.The donation will make it safer for surgeons at the hospital to do their work.

“It was important for us to figure out how we could contribute and what we would be able to do. We found that very quickly — collaborating with the hospitals would be the best way to move forward,” said Taran Singh, a spokesperson for Montreal’s Sikh community.

The donation was hand-delivered Friday morning by members of the Sikh community.

The hospital’s foundation says the money will be used to buy a high-performance filtration unit to create a negative-pressure isolation room for the ENT (Ear Nose Throat) department.

“This device will help filter the aerosols from the air to prevent health-care workers from getting sick that are helping patients,” said Dr. Rickul Varshney, surgeon.

Lakeshore General Hospital says that this donation will help them become the best hospital it can be.

“We’re so appreciative that everyone has come together with their generosity and allowing us to make this step forward with our community,” Heather Holmes, director of the Lakeshore General Hospital Foundation, told Global News.

Historic Jallianwala Bagh Gets Facelift with 80% Redevelopment Done

Amritsar Witness to the British regime’s atrocities on Indians, the historic Jallianwala Bagh near the Golden Temple has finally got a facelift with 80% of the redevelopment project completed. Dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the massacre on April 13, 1919, the Union culture and tourism ministry is executing the project to transform the historical monument at a cost of Rs 20 crore. Work started last year.

     Preserved bullet marks at Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar.

A group of media persons got a preview of the work completed till now with the garden being opened for them. The facility is otherwise closed for the public.

The garden has acquired a new look and has been given a modern, contemporary feel. Newly-constructed slopes under the landscaping on both sides of the stretch that leads to the flame-shaped memorial of those killed in the massacre, enhances its solemn grace. The Amar Jyoti has been relocated.

     Member of Parliament Shwait Malik inspects the renovation work at the           Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar

Rajya Sabha member and Jallianwala Bagh National Memorial Trust member Shwait Malik had arranged the preview. Though the bullet marks have been preserved properly, the “Shaheedi Khu” (Martyrs’ Well) and the historic narrow street leading to its entrance have been modernised totally, amid controversy with some social activists claiming that the heritage character of the monument was being destroyed in the name of giving a facelift. The well has been plastered and painted from the inside. Glass has been fitted on the windows of the new see-through canopy built on it.

Pertinently, the narrow street which was used by the British troops to enter the premises to fire at the Indians, who had gathered there peacefully, and carries heritage value, has been given a new design with sculptures depicting ordinary men and women of that age on newly-plastered walls of both sides.

The galleries depicting the history of the massacre and other episodes of Indian freedom struggle are ready. Speakers for light and sound show have been installed.  Rest of the work will be finished within two months and the memorial will be thrown open for public soon.

Sewa in A pandemic: Guru Ka Langar is An Exemplary Institution of The Moral Economy

   A special feature on "Langar Sewa" done by Gurdwara Sri Bangla Sahib in Indian Express 14th July 2020

The COVID-19 Pandemic has brought unprecedented life and livelihood challenges in almost every corner of the world.

        Langar is one such practice based on the principle of inclusion and unity in the             religious sphere that helps everyone and anyone in times of hunger.

The exceptional role of civil society, NGOs and religious organisations during these challenging times has become a fine example of what we can call a moral economy — relations that are sustained over time following a moral principle. One such institution is the practice of Guru Ka Langar in gurdwaras all over the globe.

In Delhi, since the start of the COVID-19 lockdown, one lakh meals have been cooked every day at the Gurdwara Bangla Sahib alone, with the sevadars working 18-hour shifts. This helped in feeding the migrant workers who were rendered jobless in the early days of the lockdown. Recently, the gurdwara has also started an initiative called “Meals on Wheels Langar” to take food to the remote corners of the city. As a gesture of appreciation of the gurdwara’s role during the crisis, the Delhi Police performed a parikrama of Bangla Sahib.

A recent New York Times article has highlighted the American experience of langar, highlighting both how Sikhs ran kitchens to help the COVID-19-affected as well as how they have fed the protesters of the Black Lives Matter movement. The article notes that people often get surprised when they are offered food for free. Indeed, the dimensions and spectacle of this large-scale consumption, which is outside the exchange economy, have surprised many people even when one is not in the midst of extraordinary events.

One example among many is the TV show, John Torode’s Asia, where we see the host being visibly moved by the langar at the Golden Temple in Amritsar. This emotion endorses the understanding that this Sikh practice is something exceptional.

The challenges posed by the pandemic have exposed many fault lines in our society. The negligence of healthcare and lack of adequate social safety nets have made millions of people vulnerable. In such times, the institution of langar, based on the Guru’s philosophy of equality and progressiveness, provides a glimmer of hope that strong institutions whether they are created in the societal, economic, or religious sphere can stand any storm. 

Langar is one such practice based on the principle of inclusion and unity in the religious sphere that helps everyone and anyone in times of hunger. The choice is for mankind whether it creates institutions that divide and carve out exclusionary spaces or builds strong and protean institutions, like the practice of langar, that bring the human race together in trying times without any discrimination.
