Quotes

Prof Paramvir Singh

a member of the nine-member committee set up by the Punjab government to organise programmes for the Martyrdom Day

“Bhai Mati Das, Bhai Sati Das, and Bhai Dayala are honoured because they stood with their Guru and suffered horrific executions rather than denounce their faith, and their courage is central to the collective Sikh memory — which is why events such as Hind Di Chadar foreground their stories during the 350th anniversary commemorations.”
