Shaheed Bhagat Singh through the years: Rare glimpses of the revolutionary whose courage, ideas and sacrifice continue to inspire generations across India. A Revolutionary Who Became Larger Than His Age Shaheed Bhagat Singh occupies a rare place in India’s national memory. He was a revolutionary, a thinker, a fierce critic of colonial rule, a young man of extraordinary intellectual discipline, and ultimately a martyr whose death transformed him into a symbol far larger than h

For years, overseas Khalistan extremist networks have projected a carefully crafted narrative: participate in so called Khalistan referendums, attend demonstrations outside Indian diplomatic missions, amplify separatist propaganda online, and then claim that these activities automatically make supporters victims of persecution in India. This narrative has not only been used to sustain the propaganda ecosystem abroad but has also featured prominently in asylum claims filed in

As Punjab moves towards the 2027 Assembly election, an issue rooted in one of the state's most difficult periods has again entered mainstream politics. The debate over the "Bandi Singhs", the term commonly used by Sikh organisations for prisoners convicted in militancy-related cases, has gathered fresh momentum through protests, religious mobilisation and renewed demands for parole or release. The immediate focus is Jagtar Singh Hawara, convicted for his role in the 1995 assa

CHANDIGARH, August 24, 2026: Chandigarh Police have foiled an IED plot with the apprehension of three men and the recovery of a suspected improvised explosive device, a firearm and other material. An FIR has been registered at Police Station 36, Chandigarh, and security has been tightened as investigators examine the network behind the case. The three accused have been identified as Lovepreet Singh, 19, Jashandeep Singh, 21, and Prabhpreet Singh, 19. According to police findi

Punjab’s sporting legacy has always been defined by resilience, discipline and an unmatched passion for excellence. From hockey fields and wrestling arenas to weightlifting platforms and athletics tracks, the state has consistently produced athletes who have carried the Indian tricolour to global stages. At the Commonwealth Games 2026 in Glasgow, Punjab once again reaffirmed its position as one of India’s strongest sporting nurseries, with athletes from the state delivering m

Jaswant Singh Khalra at the desk of the Khalistan Liberation Movement International. By the time Jaswant Singh Khalra disappeared from outside his Amritsar home in September 1995, he had successfully cultivated an international image as a detached, objective human rights defender. To much of the outside world, he was the meticulous archivist documenting the human cost of Punjab's decade of militancy and the state's counter-insurgency campaign. That image has come to define hi

A symbol of faith, equality, courage, and selfless service that continues to inspire generations. "The turban does not make a person noble—it reminds them to live nobly." This sentiment captures the enduring significance of the Sikh dastaar. More than a distinctive form of headwear, it is a living symbol of faith, dignity, equality, and responsibility values that have shaped Sikh identity for centuries. To those unfamiliar with Sikh traditions, the turban may appear to be sim

The recent indictment by US authorities of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and his close associate Goldy Brar in connection with the 2023 killing of pro-Khalistan activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar has added a new dimension to a case that has attracted global attention. While the legal process is still underway and guilt will ultimately be decided by the courts, the latest developments highlight an important reality: complex international crimes should be investigated on the basi

Indian Women’s Cricket Reaches a New Milestone at the Home of Cricket Some moments in sport are defined not by the result on the scoreboard, but by the journey behind them. They represent years of dedication, perseverance and the breaking of barriers that once limited possibilities. The historic women’s Test match at Lord’s was one such landmark moment for Indian cricket-a milestone that symbolised the remarkable rise of women’s cricket in India. For the first time in the his

A historic manuscript linked to Maharaja Kharak Singh and the royal legacy of the Sikh Empire illuminates the global journey of Sikh faith, culture and heritage A priceless chapter of Sikh history has resurfaced in Scotland with the public unveiling of a 300-year-old handwritten manuscript of the Guru Granth Sahib, offering devotees and historians alike a rare opportunity to engage with one of the most significant artefacts of Sikh spiritual and cultural heritage. Preserved

The June 18, 2023, killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar outside the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara in Surrey, British Columbia, has never involved the Indian state. India maintained this position firmly from the outset. Independent developments from Canadian and U.S. law enforcement now validate it clearly. On July 8, 2026, U.S. authorities charged jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and associate Satinderjeet Singh (Goldy Brar) with orchestrating the assassination. This formed part of a b

The sudden removal of the film Satluj from ZEE5 India has triggered a renewed conversation around cinema, historical memory, and the evolving responsibilities of streaming platforms in handling sensitive content. Starring Diljit Dosanjh, the film originally titled Punjab ’95 before being retitled Satluj was released on the platform after a prolonged and closely scrutinised journey through certification and clearance processes. Within a short period of its OTT release, however

When a place of worship is damaged, it is not just one religion that is hurt- we are all wounded somewhere. On the night of 24–25 June 2026, the approximately 125-year-old Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha Sahib in Farooqabad (Sheikhupura district), Punjab province, Pakistan, was allegedly demolished without any legal permission. This is not merely the destruction of an old building. It raises serious questions about the faith of millions of Sikhs, the shared cultural heritage of

The demolition of a 125-year-old gurdwara is not merely the loss of a historic structure. It is the latest reminder of the challenges faced by Pakistan's religious minorities, whose heritage, identity, and places of worship have repeatedly come under threat over the decades. History is often erased quietly. Not through a single act of violence or a dramatic declaration, but brick by brick, shrine by shrine, community by community. The reported demolition of the 125-year-old G

India's sporting landscape is witnessing a remarkable transformation, driven by talented athletes from Punjab and Haryana, many from Sikh families. These regions, despite comprising a small fraction of the country's population, consistently produce a disproportionate number of national and international representatives. This success story reflects strong community traditions of physical fitness, parental support in defying traditional gender biases and targeted government ini

A Campaign Rooted in Public Health and Community Safety Punjab’s campaign “Yudh Nasheyan Virudh”, a war against drugs has emerged as an important public movement aimed at protecting young lives from substance abuse and drug trafficking. The initiative goes beyond police action; it combines enforcement, treatment, counselling, awareness, sports, education, and community participation. This makes it a people-centric campaign rather than merely an administrative drive. Punjab ha

In a major counter-terrorism breakthrough, Punjab Police has struck at the heart of a transnational Khalistani terror ecosystem by securing the deportation of two alleged Khalistan Zindabad Force (KZF) operatives from Malaysia. Far from being a routine extradition, the operation represents a significant intelligence success that exposed the financial and logistical backbone of a network accused of plotting attacks on India's critical infrastructure. The intelligence-led opera

A Crime That Has Shocked the Sikh World The brutal killing of Jagannath, aged 72, and his 69-year-old wife inside a gurdwara in Pakistan's Mardan city is more than just another criminal incident. It is a tragedy that has shaken Sikhs across the world and reignited difficult questions about the safety and dignity of religious minorities in Pakistan. The elderly couple were not political activists. They were not influential leaders. They were caretakers of a gurdwara, individua

Few institutions command the moral and historical authority that the Akal Takht Sahib does within the Sikh community. Its pronouncements are not treated as routine political statements, nor should they be. That is precisely why the recent declaration by the Akal Takht describing Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann as "Guru Dokhi" and "Khalsa Panth Virodhi" has generated intense discussion across Punjab and beyond. The issue is no longer merely about a politician. It has evolv

The State That Saved a Nation When you sit down to eat rice, wheat, or vegetables in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, or Chennai in 2026, you are consuming the fruits of Punjab's sacrifice. Yet few of us truly understand what that sacrifice costs, or what it means for India's survival in the next decade. Punjab, just 1.6% of India's geographical area, produces 45% of wheat and 30% of rice, feeding 1.4 billion people. It has transformed from famine and scarcity to the granary of our
