Saragarhi is the incredible story of 21 men of the 36th Sikh Regiment (currently the 4th Sikh Regiment) who on this day in 1897 gave up their lives in devotion to their duty. In keeping with the tradition of the Indian Army, they fought to the death rather than surrender. The Battle at Saragarhi is one of eight stories of collective bravery published by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization). It has been mentioned as one of the five most significant events of its kind in the world which includes the Saga of Thermoplyae associated with the heroic stand of a small Greek force against the mighty Persian Army of Xerxes in 480 B.C.

On September 1, the Sikhs will celebrate 401 years of the first installation of their holy scriptures called the Sri Guru Granth Sahib. The Sri Guru Granth Sahib was compiled and installed at Harimandir Sahib in Amritsar in 1604. The holy book contains hymns written by saints and scholars of different religions. The SGGS contains message for the whole of humanity.

The Guru Granth Sahib provides unique and unequalled guidance and advice for the whole of the human race. It is the torch that will lead humanity out of Kaljug, (the dark era) to life in peace, tranquillity and spiritual enlightenment for all the nations of the World.


"Guru Granth Sahib transcends creed and caste, cant and convention. It does not belong to the Sikhs alone.
