    PHULKARI BAGHS OF THE PUNJAB: ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE Arjmand Aziz MAP OF UNDIVIDED PUNJAB. SOURCE: THE IMPERIAL GAZETTEER OF INDIA (1907-1909) HTTP://DSAL.UCHICAGO>EDU/ lthough the most recognised of South A Asian embroidery there is curiously little scholarship available about the deeper meanings of phulkari chadars or shawls. Phulkari, literally translated as ‘flower’ (phul) and ‘work’ (kari), is used to describe several different styles of cloths historically made in the region of Punjab that today comprise the states of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh in northern India, and the Punjab province of Pakistan including parts of Swat and Hazara. Within the hierarchy of phulkaris, baghs (literally ‘gardens’) were the most prestigious and precious. Created over many years to become family heirlooms, baghs were embroidered in silk floss covering the entire base khaddar (cotton) material. They were created by women within their own families, for wearing and presenting on auspicious religious occasions and as markers of significant life events such as marriages and births. Made by Hindu, Sikh and Muslim women they were never intended to be made or sold for a market or gifted to outsiders. The holding aloft of a bagh above of the embroidered fabric. More specifically, narrow strips were sewn together to form a bride as she made her way to the marriage I propose baghs should be seen as conceptual one rectangular piece. Sometimes the strips mandap, or the draping of a bagh upon her maps of ancestral land, daily and seasonal were sewn together after embroidering or the as she entered her new home, marked and interaction with it and the social relationships embroidery only commenced once the strips commemorated significant events both which are renewed and sustained by this had been joined together.

  • Traditional Handicrafts of Punjab Developed from Plant and Agro-Waste Materials
    DOI: 10.15740/HAS/AJHS/12.2/583-587 esearch aper e ISSN-0976-8351 Visit us: www.researchjournal.co.in R P AsianAJHS Journal of Home Science Volume 12 | Issue 2 | December, 2017 | 583-587 Traditional handicrafts of Punjab developed from plant and agro-waste materials LALITA RANI AND KANWALJIT BRAR Received: 14.07.2017; Revised: 05.11.2017; Accepted: 19.11.2017 ABSTRACT : Punjab has a rich tradition of arts and crafts. The traditional handicrafts of different types made from plant waste materials available in their vacinity were used in every household during the pre-independence period. Doaba and Majha were faster to adapt to the modern life style, while Malwa region with low literacy level continued with the traditional ways of life as well as craft making. But over the last two decades practice of handicraft making had sharp decline even in Malwa region. Thus, to document the valuable basketry craft, a sample of 180 respondents of rural women comprising of 60 women from each of the three selected districts of Malwa region namely, Ludhiana, Patiala and Bathinda, who had developed traditional handicrafts in their life-time was selected purposively. Older women were found to have made fifty or more traditional handicrafts from plant and agro-waste materials in their lifetime. All women used to carry out different activities of practicing craft in their leisure time such as spinning yarn on Charkha, weaving basketry products like Bohey/Chhikkoo, Katnee(s), etc. and embroidering the Phulkaris or baghs. The largest percentage of respondents (28.89%) had made Bohey/Chhikkoo followed by 19.45 per cent respondents who had made Chhabi(an) from plant and waste materials.

  • Wedding Ceremonies in Punjab
    JPS: 11:2 Myrvold: Wedding Ceremonies in Punjab Wedding Ceremonies in Punjab Kristina Myrvold Lund University ______________________________________________________ While the religious specificities of different religious communities are underscored, the paper focuses on the shared cultural values and symbols that frame marriage ceremonies in the Punjab. The study concludes with how ritual theories help us analyse these ceremonies and assess the impact of modernity on their nature and function. ______________________________________________________ Traditional cultural practices in a society do not fade away or disappear in the face of modernization, but rather these practices transform and even become revitalized. This is illustrated in the case of religious and cultural rituals that Punjabis perform in relation to different stages of life. Rites of passage refer to a genre of rituals that people perform at major events in life--like birth, puberty, marriage and death. These types of rites characteristically mark a person’s transition from one stage of social life to another. The authoritative traditions of the world religions have sanctioned and institutionalized their own life-cycle rituals, which the followers share across different cultural and geographical contexts. Historically, religious authorities have often displayed a keen interest in defining these rituals to mark religious boundaries. Several studies that detail how Hindus, Jains, Muslim, Sikh, and Christians celebrate the birth of a child, perform weddings, and handle death in different parts of the world. Similarly, in the Punjab the core ceremonies related to these life events are distinct for every religious community, but yet they are performed within a shared Punjabi culture. This paper focuses on marriage (viah), the most celebrated life event in Punjabi society.

It was constituted for the avowed purpose of superintendence and control of the Gurdwaras. It was formed on 15th November 1920. Before its formation Gurdwaras were run and controlled by the Mahants who happened to be the loyalist and also well wishers of the British Government in the Punjab. They were corrupt, immoral and away from the pious teachings of the Sikhism.1 Let us discuss the circumstances leading to the formation of the S.G.P.C. during the period of long Sikh history. The Sikhs religious institutions Gurdwaras played an important role in the Sikhism. For Sikhs, Gurdwaras were the central point in their religious, social, cultural and political lives,2 with the growth of Sikhism, these institutions were also developed rapidly. Guru Nanak Dev Ji the founder of the Sikhism preached a religion of humanity and equality, to make an actual beginning in this direction. He initiated the egalitarian practices of 'Sangat' and 'Pangat'.3 Guru Ji asked his followers to construct a Dharmshala to enable them to sit together.

  • The Need for a Standard English Translation of Guru Granth Sahib
    EDITORIAL The Need for a Standard English Translation of Guru Granth Sahib Dr Kharak Singh As a result of the programmes organized under the quadri-centennial celebrations of Guru Granth Sahib, the awareness about the Sikh scripture and the living Guru of the Sikhs has reached an unprecedented level. It is increasingly being realized in knowledgeable circles that the message of the Gurus is universal in time and space and is not only relevant to the present century, but is indispensable for the future of mankind. More and more people want to read and benefit from it, leading to a demand for translation of the original text in Gurmukhi into all major and minor languages, Indian as well as foreign. Selected hymns have been translated from time to time. The number of translations of Japu ji runs into hundreds. The other hymns in this category include Sukhmani Sahib, Asa di Var and the banis of the Nitnem. The Japu ji, however, has been and will continue to be the farourite of translators. A number of attempts have been made at translation of the full text of Guru Granth Sahib. There are over half a dozen extant translations into English. As we all know, the first among these was the one by Ernest Trumpp who was commissioned by the British government. He could not complete it, but what he did was indeed a disaster. He was incompetent as well as untrustworthy, and could not rise above his prejudices or bias as a Christian missionary. His work was, therefore, unanimously rejected by all sections of Sikh scholars.

  • Bhagat Puran Singh a SERVA N T of the PEOPLE
    Bhagat Puran Singh A SERVA N T OF THE PEOPLE As Assessment by — S. Bhagat Singh (Retd. Judge) — Diwan Anand Kumar M. A. —S. Narain Singh M. A. —V. N. Narayanan — P. P. S. Gill —S Khushwant Singh —Bibi Amrit Kaur —I. J. Singh —Usha Pratap Singh Whatever you have received more than others in health, in talents, in ability, in success, in a pleasant childhood, in harmonious conditions of home life, all this you must not take as a matter of course. In gratitude for your fortune, you must render in return some sacrifice of your own life for other lives. —Albert Schweitzer. Publisher Dr. INDERJIT KAUR President ALL INDIA PINGALWARA SOCIET¥(Regd.) ASR. ■ ? a ™ 1 ^■^niMiailih.nra FOREWORD This booklet contains a number of articles, relating to Bhagat Puran Singh Ji which were written during his life time by eminent intellectuals and writers like Diwan Anand Kumar, Ex-Vice Chancellor, Punjab University; Sh. V. N. Narayanan, Editor-in-chief, Daily Tribune; S. Khushwant Singh and several others. The service and dedication of Bhagat Puran Singh to the suffering humanity influenced these authors so deeply that their pens were impelled to laud the , Bhagatji for his great mission he embarked upon. This great Samaritan is no more amongst us today, yet Pingalwara Ashram—a godly aegis for hundreds of destitutes and incurably sick people - is carrying on the ideals of Bhagatji under the super­ vision of his successor and present President, Dr. Inderjit Kaur with the same fervour and enthu­ siasm as was seen formerly. She is assisted and co­ operated in this great task by her colleagues who are equally devoted to this momentous cause.
