 An attempt to recount the Sikh history through the happenings in the Sikh world in the last three decades is being made in the form of a compilation of poems by Prof. Bhupinder Singh, titled “Gurbar Akal - the great almighty Akal”, which was released earlier this week talks about subjects like Sikh dignity and sentiments attached with the dastar (turban).The entire book comes in two parts - English and Punjabi. The annexure is equally interesting as it offers a brief history of the Sikh “panth” and can help even those alien to the Sikh history to comprehend the issues. The writer is a solicitor of the Supreme Court of England and Wales and has had the experience of practicing as a lawyer at Punjab and Haryana High Court. He was also the president of the Chandigarh unit of the Shiromani Akali Dal and had a brief stint at SD College, Hoshiarpur. He is presently running a law firm in the south-west of England. “There are two dimensions to the book. The writer is agonised by the atrocities on Sikhs in 1984. The writer is imbued with love and devotion for Sikh faith. The choice of subjects is very appropriate and reflects the sentiments of the author,” says Dr R.S. Bhalla, professor of law, Australia in the preface to the book. The book carries words of appreciation by Gajinder Singh, Sikh poet and founder leader of Dal Khalsa. “I put myself before the readers with a basket of hopes, strong desires and pains from the core of my heart,” said Prof Bhupinder Singh. The writer already has to his credit “Rana Surat singh (Ik Adhyan), 1976; Prasar Prasna (The Baisakhi of Guru Gobind Singh), 1988; Khalsa Inqlab, 1994 and the first translation of “Raj Karega Khalsa”.

| Great effort and good to hear this, if we ask today's youth about 1984 SIKH-HISTORY, they have blank faces. I am intend to tell them face to face in groups or singles but a book will count. Keep it up my loved SIKHS and move high in population at the same time, it counts a lot. KIngSingh |
