Lets pay our homage to the MARTYRS of Sri Nankana Sahib Movement which happened in BRITISH INDIA on 20th February 1921.
Ei mere wattan ke logo Jara ankh mei bhar lo paani, Jo Shaheed hue hai unki zara yaad karo kurbani....
The Nankana massacre (Saka Nankana) took place in Nankana Sahib during the rule of the British empire in India, now in Pakistan. The saga constitutes the core of the Gurdwara Reform Movement started by Sikhs in October 1920 . During this difficult time, Sikhs were exemplary in their religious discipline, self-control and patience. Even in the face of extreme barbarism, the brave Sikhs remained calm and protested peacefully. Mahatma Gandhi realized the greatness in this peaceful method of protest from the Sikhs, and then adopted it for his own political ambitions later on.
Mahatma Gandhi Visited Nankana Sahib on March 3, 1921. Addressing the gathering, Gandhi ji said: "I have come to share your anguish and grief. It is interesting indeed to note that the Sikhs in this protest remained peaceful and non-violent from the start to the end. This (role of the Sikhs) has greatly added to the glory and prestige of India."All indications point to the fact that the cruel and barbaric action is the second edition of Jallianwala Bagh rather more evil and more invidious than even Jallianwala" Gandhi further spoke: "the action of these dimensions could not be perpetrated by Mahant alone. The government officers are also involved in this heinous crime. Where had the authorities gone when the Mahant was making preparations for murderous plans?"
