Within the last week I’ve seen two separate instances where individuals are unfortunately begging in front of gurdwarey in the GTA. Makes me wonder why our community seems to consistently fail our own people?

Sidhu Moosewala ushered a new age of Punjabi music and reconnected many of our youngsterZ with the Punjab(i).

I have always found this grainy video of him singing Challa very endearing.

ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ ਮੇਰੋ ਰੂਪ ਹੈ ਖ਼ਾਸ ॥
ਖ਼ਾਲਸੇ ਮਹਿ ਹੌ ਕਰੌ ਨਿਵਾਸ ॥

ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ ਮੇਰੋ ਮੁਖ ਹੈ ਅੰਗਾ ॥
ਖ਼ਾਲਸੇ ਕੇ ਹੌਂ ਸਦ ਸਦ ਸੰਗਾ ॥

ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ ਮੇਰੋ ਇਸ਼ਟ ਸੁਹਿਰਦ ॥
ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ ਮੇਰੋ ਕਹੀਅਤ ਬਿਰਦ ॥

ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ ਮੇਰੋ ਪਛ ਅਰ ਪਾਤਾ ॥
ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ ਮੇਰੋ ਸੁਖ ਅਹਿਲਾਦਾ ॥

ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ ਮੇਰ�� ਮਿੱਤਰ ਸਖਾਈ ॥
ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ ਮਾਤ ਪਿਤਾ ਸੁਖਦਾਈ ॥

Sikh pictured outside Sri Harimandir Sahib.
Amritsar, Punjab.
Circa 1894

The man appears to be approximately 60-70 years of
age which would place his decade of birth in the
1820s/30s during the zenith of the Sikh Raj.

Punjabi is a god gifted language.
It uplifts the depressed, turns up the party, makes you fall in love, and grieve lost love, all in one breath.

Very few languages hold this diverse emotional range.

Punjab: 5 rivers, infinite stories.
