This historical site, with Ranjit Singh's own Baradari, is now in grave threat of being torn down, despite the wishes of the local community, sevadars and the Sikh clergy.
These priceless Sikh buildings which have witnessed 150 years of history and are some of India's last surviving examples of Sikh architecture from the period of Sikh rule from Lahore are to be sacrificed to make way for modern buildings by a Sikh committee charged with making arrangements for the 2008 commemorations in Nanded. Please help us save these priceless buildings from destruction by adding your comments to this story which we will press upon Dr D. S. Pasricha chairman of the Prashasak ("logistics/arrangements") Committee for the 2008 event. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Reports are coming in from India that the historic Ramgharia Bunga in Hazur Sahib, Nanded is slated to be pulled down. This historical site linked to the Ramgharia Misl is one of the last of the great buildings related to Ranjit Singh in the region. It pre-dates the takht and was constructed with funds from the Ramgharia Sardars at Ranjit Singh's court to act as a place of safety and rest for visiting pilgrims.
| This is outrageous and follows the destruction of other important building in Nanded. Is there an address where we can contact Dr D S Pasricha or others who have influence to stop this ? |

| Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh, i'm a 12 year old kid from detroit michigan usa. I've only been to Hazur Sahib and visited the bunga once when i was 9. I really dont remember it. but like roshi Kaur said " i already feel that kids are forgetting their heritage ". Why are we tearing down our history. This is a very historical monument. Tearing this down is like tearing a page out of a good book and throwing it in the trash. Why do that ? Isn't our history, our roots more important? If we tear that down our present, the fruit will be destroyed. Thats like building a scafle and taking off the bottom where it stands on. The top part wont just stand there. It will come down. Like I said I'm also a 12 year-old. I live in Detroit, MI USA. Please save this bunga. Its a monument! Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh, |

| Waheguruji ka khalsa waheguruji ki fateh ji. Dear Dr D. S. Pasricha ji, Just give it a thought if english had pulled down buckingham palace, romans had teared down Basilica of St. John Lateran. Then they would have had forgotten about their culture, roots..... what would they have been now nothing...... every society needs these monuments. please do not destroy these. |

| There is so much corruption in India it is appalling. This destruction really should be stopped. There never seems to be peace for the Sikhs of India. The best interests of the Sikhs always seems to be overlooked for some kind of depravity. |

said:
| While all the efforts should be taken into course to stop this, we need to find out what is the need behind pulling it down,... DGP Mumbai police Mr. Pasricha is the honorary member of the commitee to give a face lift to Nanded, including the provision of an air strip for the sake of the saadh- sangat coming from across the globe... may be he can be contacted to know the real need behind! |

| Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa ,Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh Ji .First of all we must try and contact DSGPC President and let him hve a direct contact with Gurudwara Sahib committee ,Nanded Sahib .Then they can get a decision to how to stop these buggers which plays with the sikh community and then teach them a real lesson So there fourth coming gerenation also get to know about the REAL SIKH !!THE KHALSA !! GURFATEH |

said:
| We have already done great harm in relation to our heritage. Our Sants and so called Mahapurushs have destroyed all the symbols of Sikh hsitory all over Punjab and converted it to Marble structures in the form of Gurdwaras. SGPC has added its weight into the destructive work of our Sants and Kar Sewa walle Baba jees. We Sikhs both illeterate and educated class have acted in most irresponsible manner in maintaning our historical sites. May Wheguru give us some sense to understand the importance of our heritage. |

| Wahe Guru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh, We already have lost a grat deal of monuments and historical articles thanks to our mindless leaders, karsewa wala babas, and scheming government. please save whats left of our history otherwise we wont be able to show our kids the great legacy of our fore fathers. manmeet |

| what a stupid and senseless thing to do. cut off you nose to spite your face. Rather than destroy it, it should be restored and preserved. there is so little left when it comes to historical buildings. I could go on and on. Save the building period! |
Jaspal Singh
said:
| Priceless Sikh heritage buildings like these are living witnesses to history and stand testimony to events as they unfolded. Our generation is fortunate enough to have access to these sites. Utmost care should be taken to preserve these sites and hand then over to the future generations. Hope, this message is taken in the right spirit, and care taken to preserve these priceless gifts for generations to come |

| I am really disturbed to see this news that the ramgarhia bunga and other old historical buildings in Hazur Sahib are on the way to be demolish.I am strongly againt it.In the name of new constructions most of the historical monuments have been removed;f.ex.Shahidi Diwar at Sirhand. History will not forgive them. |

| You cannot put a price on heritage. Why can't we take a leaf out of the West's book and learn to preserve what we have? |
Gurdyal Kaur
said:
| I am lost for words to express my disgust and disappointment with our so called sikh leaders who are so ignorant and arrogant that they do not understand the importance of preserving our original religious monuments for our coming generations nor they listen to any advice. If they do not understand these things, they are the wrong people to take responsibilities for our history and historical monuments. I felt so angry learning about the demolition of our other religious and historical places as well as white washing of sikh art in Baba Attal Sahib Ji in Amritsar. For God's sake, wake up and at least try to preserve what is left. In my teens,I remember visiting gurdwaras in Anandpur Sahib and its surroundings area and again in 1999. I could not even recognise them. Now if you see one gurdwara, you feel you have seen them all. You do not have the same emotions in your heart standing there as you did before this modernisation so called Kar Sewa. |

| No value can ever be placed on historical buildings and monuments. We often only realise their worth after they are gone. Cost can seem high now but think about the future. Please preserve the past. Please. |
Manny Singh
said:
| Our Sikh Leaders, please stop destroying our glorious past. Leaders like Badal and others have already ruined us, please atleast leave something for our future generations. Other religions strive to FIND and keep their things from their prophets so they can be part ot their rich heritage. We as Sikhs have been lucky enough to have original things from our Gurus passed on to the next generations, but these greedy & egotistic leaders are bent upon destroying everything we have to serve their own selfish needs. Please STOP this destruction. |

| no one should be allowed to demolish this historical building, if they want to construct a new building they must buy the adjustant buildings by offering high rates than the market price to the owners,after deolishing these buildings they can construct the building they want.panth will never forgive the people responcible for the demolition.please save this building. |

| Buildings whose foundations are destroyed become hollow and succumb to tiniest of the tremors. Our historical monuments are an integral part of our foundation of Sikhi. A significant part of that has been already destroyed and rest is at stake. Please spare this for whatever is left we can refer to our future (generations) that we had glorious past. |

| Its our duty to preserve the historical buildings, which represent our culture infact our root. Nothing can be important then saving the sikh monuments. |
Anand B Singh
said:
| After reading this, it is a clear example that our people are destroying own historic building, which links directly to destroying own roots. So for other people, this is clear signal that it is even more easier to destroy the sikh heritage and its roots. This is WRONG ! As long as manmuk persons even having bana takes care of such religious institutions, this is bound to happen. They will do whatever they think is right, profitable to them, and without taking into consideration the sentiments of sikh community as a whole. These manmuks do whatever pleases to them. We really need gurmuk people on such high class instutions, where they will not think of such small gains but instead spread the message of the guru and spread stories of contributions of sikhism. STOP THIS NOW! |
Daljit Singh
said:
| Unfortunately, Sikhs in Punjab and the rest of India are blind to History. Where as non-Sikhs work to preserve their historical arts and structures, we are busy destroying those very things. It is so sad to have people in power who are so negligent and sometimes willfully corrupt, that they care nothing for Sikhs, Sikh, or Guru. Shameful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

| Heritage in it's original form deepens our faith. We have already destroyed much of it in the form of marbles and buildings. Instead of preserving them in their true form we are destructing them altogether. This shows our inefficiency and failure, despite our claims of technical and scientific efficiency we have acquired. People visit any historical Gurdwara to have a feel which adds to the faith for sure. Save these in their original form or we will have nothing to show to our kids, what Sikhi is all about ! Thanks |
S.S.Brar

| Every day we do Ardas ~Sikha nu sikhi daan, kesh daan................. chaukian,chendeh,BUNGEH,jugoh jug atal....... Aren't these leaders pray and do ardaas everyday? Then why destroy. It should be jugoh jug atal. |

| Vaheguru ji ka Khalsa Vaheguru ji ki Fateh, I implore the people who are commiting these ignorence based attrocities to see the bigger picture in more ways than one: These historic buildings are the only "living" evidence of our history, no one has a right to destory history, especially Sikh history. Also, these buildings will one day also fund tourism, so economically it makes no sense to destroy them, no one is interested in new buildings, they can be built anytime, once an historic buildng is gone, thats it. Punjabis seem to be the only people in the world that have no care for their historic architecture, all other countries treasure their history and architecture, when will Punjabi people start thinking like 21st century educated people? Please look around, Muslims, Hindus, Buddists, Christians all preserve their architecture with their lives, stop being so backwards and mindless. Vaheguru bless us with gurmat. Harcharan Singh |

| I am horrified to learn that this historical building is being torn down. Those Responsible should be ashamed of themselves to do such an act to destroy our Sikhi monument. Our future generations need these to learn from instead of relying on books and photos. Learn from other religions who make films and plays to spread their religions but we destroy even historical buildings. What a disgrace. |

Please could I ask others who are as equally as alarmed to contact Dr Pasricha and make your opinions known. We really need to show how much opoosition there is against the destruction of these buildings. Again please keep all communication civil. If any one has an address or even a number by which I can contact Dr Pasricha please let me know. |

There are a few 3p / 4p a minute numbers which you can use. Once again I reiterate to do things with pyaar and to use civil language. To stop such destruction we need to educate those concerned and to win them over to our way of thinking. This cannot be done by using vulgar language. |

| Why can't the bhunga co-exist with the new development? It will lend a positive feature to the development. A good architect with a sense of history can make it happen. It will be a shame if they pull down the historic structure. We have already lost so many historic gurdwaras in Pakistan due to the partition of the counry. |
Tarsem Singh
said:
| Under garb of “ Guru maniyon Granth� our custodians of sikh panth have deliberately destroyed sikh historical monuments such as Guru Tegh bahadurs monument in the precincts of gurdwara dukh niwaran Patiala, wall at Fatehgarh sahib, Delhi gurdwaras constructed by sikh misel sardars and many more. We should learn from other nations and try to protect our heritage what ever is left. |

| Please keep and preserve this and every other valuable heritage of the Sikh community.
