    Sources for the Study of Gurū Gobind Singh's Life and Times

    G.S. Mann: Sources for Study 229 Sources for the Study of Guru Gobind Singh's Life and Times Gurinder Singh Mann University of California, Santa Barbara ___________________________________________________________ This essay surveys the sites, artifacts, and literary texts associated with Guru Gobind Singh's period (1675-1708). In the process, it introduces a set of sources of information as well as attempts at reorientation of the context that produced them. In a brief conclusion, the essay highlights the need for expanding and revising the current understanding of the Guru's life. ___________________________________________________________ The present day understanding of Guru Gobind Singh's life is constructed around three landmarks: his birth in Patna in eastern India, in 1666; his creation of the Khalsa ("Community of the Pure") at Anandpur, in the Punjab hills, in 1699; and his replacement of the office of the personal Guru with the Granth, the Sikh scripture, thereby elevating it to the position of the Guru Granth ("Book manifested as the Guru") at the time of his death, in Nanderh in south India, in 1708.1 The details that fill in the forty-two years of the Guru's life are culled from a variety of texts, which begin with the Dasam Granth ("the tenth book" or "book of the tenth [Guru]"), an anthology of poetry created largely between 1685 to 1698, and Sri Gur Sobha ("Praise of the Guru"), a poetic history of the period presently dated in 1711, and include eighteenth and nineteenth century writings culminating in Giani Gian Singh's synthetic narrative, Tvarikh Guru Khalsa ("History of the Guru Community"), completed in 1891.2 (For a brief review of this chronology of events see Appendix).

Muhammad Iqbal Chawla Former Dean Arts & Humanities, Former Chairman, Department of History & Pakistan Studies, University of the Punjab, Lahore. Correspondence: [email protected] Dr Muhammad Abrar Ahmad, HOD, History Department, Education University, Lahore ABSTRACT This study problematizes the Sikh’s demand for Khalistan, a separate country of their own. To begin with, they demanded a greater degree of political autonomy within the domains of India. During the colonial period the Sikhs supported the Indian National Congress’s demand for the division of Punjab and inclusion of the East Punjab into Bharat. But soon after the creation of Bharat(India), `the Sikhs realized that they were betrayed and they started to vow for more autonomy. Initially, they felt that PEPSU was a step towards their aspirations but later they felt that they had missed the train and moved for Punjabi Province. After much deliberation and delaying tactics, finally the Punjab emerged on the Indian Territory in the form that always proved a nightmare for the Sikh community.

    Mata Gujri Ji

    Mata Gujri Ji Mata Gujri ji, wife of the 9thSikh Guru, Guru Tegh Bahadurji, and mother of the 10th Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh ji, is an inspirational figure in the Sikh history who faced many challenging circumstances. Mata Gujri was the daughter of Bhailal Chand Subulikka and BishanKaur, a pious couple of Kartarpur.She married (Guru) Tegh Bahadur on February 4th1633.After Tegh BahadurJi was installed as Guru in 1664, he went with his mother Nanaki, and his wife Gujri to Patna. Mata Gujri gave birth to a son on December 22nd 1666 in Patna. The child was named GobindRai, the illustrious Guru Gobind Singh. Guru TeghBahadur returned to Patna in 1670 for a brief stay before he left for Delhi, instructing the family to proceed to Lakhnaur, now in Haryana. July 11th, 1675 was a momentous day in Sikh history when Guru Tegh Bahadur left for Delhi prepared to make the supreme sacrifice. Mata Gujri showed courage at the time of parting and bore the ultimate trial with fortitude. Guru Tegh Bahadur was executed in Delhi on November 11th1675. Guru Gobind Singh was young. The responsibility of managing the affairs at Chakk Nanaki, initially, fell on Mata Gujri. When in face of a prolonged siege by hostile hill rajas and Mughal troops,Guru Gobind Singh had to evacuate Chakk Nanaki (Anandpur) on the night of December 5-6th,1705.Mata Gujri with her grandsons, Zorawar Singh and Fateh Singh, aged nine and seven years respectively, were separated from the main group while crossing the rivulet Sarsa. Mata Gujri and her grandsons were arrested on December 8th, and confined in Sirhind Fort in what is referred to in Sikh chronicles as ThandaBurj, the cold tower.

    THE GLOBALIZATION of IDENTITY POLITICS : the SIKH EXPERIENCE1 Laurent GAYER2 England Has Always Been a Breeding Ground for Our R

    THE GLOBALIZATION OF IDENTITY POLITICS : THE SIKH EXPERIENCE1 Laurent GAYER2 England has always been a breeding ground for our revolutionists (…) What would Pandit Nehru have been without Harrow ? Or Ghandiji without his formative experiences here ? Even the Pakistan idea was dreamt up by young radicals at college in what we then were asked to think of as the Mother Country. Now that England’s status has declined, I suppose it is logical that the quality of the revolutionists she breeds has likewise fallen. The Kashmiris ! Not a hope in hell. And as for these Khalistan types, let them not think that their evil deed has brought their dream a day closer. Salman Rushdie, “Chekov and Zulu”, in East, West3. 1 This paper is the result of a field work of two weeks in the UK (Southall and London) and one month in Canada (Toronto, Ottawa and Vancouver), during which I interviewed extensively thirty individuals. The two thirds of my interlocutors were political activists involved in the Khalistan Council, the Khalistan Commando Force (KCF), the Dal Khalsa, the World Sikh Organization (WSO) and the International Sikh Youth Federation (ISYF). My other interviewees were involved in anti-racist groups (Southall Monitoring Group), community newspapers (Desh Pardesh in Southall, Punjabi Times in Surrey, B.C.), religious organizations (the Khalsa Diwan Society, managing the prestigious Ross Street gurdwara in Vancouver; the Sikh Missionary Society and the Trust in charge of the Sri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara, in Southall) and youth groups (Ontario Sikh Students Association, in Mississauga, Ontario). I also interviewed the most popular Sikh lawyer of Canada (Palbinder Kaur Shergill) and three young Sikh students who had just taken part in a charity bike ride from Birmingham to London.
