Saka Sri Nankana Sahib

The cruel and cold-blooded massacre of the Sikh devotees at Nankana Sahib-the birth place of Guru Nanak Dev Ji,now situated in PAKISTAN, took place on February 21,1921 at the behest of wily and unscrupulous Mahant Narain Das who, unfortunately for the Sikhs, managed the affairs of the holy place at that time.

A group of more than two hundred Sikh devotees had gone to make obeisance as well as to liberate the holy shrine from the control of the Mahant by non-violent and peaceful means.

The Mahant caused this massacre through a few hired hoodlums. In his work, he also enjoyed the tacit support of the (British Ruled) Punjab government. Quite a large number of Sikhs were gunned down, many were slashed with axes and swords, while some were fastened to a land Tree nearby Janamasthan and burnt alive.

The event, because of its horribleness, is known as the bloodiest event of the twentieth century. On the following day, the government handed over the keys of the Gurdwara to Sardar Harbans Singh Attari, the then Vice President of S.G.P.C.

The supreme sacrifices made by these Sikhs Shaheeds have been acknowledged by the grateful nation. From that day onwards, the Sikh nation remembers these brave Sikhs in their daily ardas (prayer). Every year on 21 February at this Shaheedi Asthan,Guru Granth Sahib's Swaroop with Bullet marks is brought to Deewan (assembly) from 2pm to 4pm for darshan of the Sikh Sangat.
