<strong>Bhat</strong> <strong>Sikh</strong> <strong>Gurdwara</strong> <strong>Council</strong><br />

Do you remember that we had a meeting in the community<br />

centre of the Birmingham High gate <strong>Gurdwara</strong> and community<br />

centre when it was unanimously agreed that we should develop<br />

an organisation of all of the <strong>Bhat</strong> <strong>Sikh</strong> <strong>Gurdwara</strong>’s and every<br />

one agreed that it should be <strong>Bhat</strong> <strong>Sikh</strong> <strong>Gurdwara</strong> <strong>Council</strong> and<br />

we said we will hold another meeting again.<br />

During that time we managed to obtain some of the paperwork<br />

of the old <strong>Sangat</strong> <strong>Bhat</strong>ra Samparda UK and after that we held<br />

another meeting in Guru Ramdas Ji <strong>Gurdwara</strong> again in<br />

Birmingham, when not many of the <strong>Gurdwara</strong>’s turned up and it<br />

was decided to call another meeting. Now we are going to<br />

organise another meeting in the Highgate <strong>Gurdwara</strong> and the<br />

community centre Saturday the 30 th July. The management<br />

committee have said yes to us. what we are doing is giving this<br />

<strong>information</strong> in Advance to all of our <strong>Gurdwara</strong>’s but further<br />

notice will be sent to all of <strong>Bhat</strong> <strong>Sikh</strong> the <strong>Gurdwara</strong>’s regarding<br />

the meeting so please look out for that letter and do come.<br />

S. Lakha Singh Ji Digpal was born in a small village<br />

called Bhadewala (now in Pakistan).in 1919.<br />

He was one of the six children and was the eldest<br />

son of S. Rawel Singh Ji Digpal and Mata Sant Kaur.<br />

Being the eldest he also had many responsibilities<br />

from a very early age in his life. Therefore started<br />

working as a salesman in India selling clothes and<br />

fabrics. In 1936 he was married at the age of 17 and<br />

had five children who were all were born in India. The<br />

oldest, is Harbhajan Kaur, Pardoman Singh,<br />

Harcharan Singh, Kulwant Kaur, and Biant Kaur.<br />

Being the oldest child and with many responsibilities<br />

for the whole family he found making a good living in<br />

India was very tough, so in 1952 decided to come to<br />

Britain and try and make a new life here for himself<br />

as well as for his whole family.<br />

When he arrived in Britain he started selling clothes<br />

here as well. Having a keen interest in the property<br />

business he invested his time and money in to buying<br />

and selling and selling houses. Having setteled and<br />

established him self in UK in 1957 he brought his<br />

entire family over to UK and quickly setteled in<br />

Ipswich with his whole family.<br />

He went on to have three more children who were<br />

born in Ipswich and they were Jaswant Singh,<br />

Harsharan Kaur and Arjan Singh.<br />

Like his Father S. Lakha Singh Ji was a Puran<br />

Gursikh and a very religious man who even had a<br />

Guru Granth Sahib Ji in his own house and was a<br />

daily worshipper.<br />

In 1973 S. Lakha Singh Ji Digpal founded the first<br />

<strong>Gurdwara</strong> in Ipswich where he would recite the Guru<br />

Granth Sahib Ji to the whole of the community on, a<br />

weekly,bases on Sunday as well as on the<br />

celebrations of the Gurus Birthdays as well as to<br />

commemorate their passing away. He remained as<br />

the head priest and the president of the <strong>Gurdwara</strong><br />

when it was in cemetery road as well as Yarmouth<br />

road for many years. Above he is seen reading the<br />

Guru Granth Sahib Ji as well. Now the all of his sons<br />

S. Harcharan Singh, The late S Pardoman Singh, S.<br />

Jaswant Singh, and Arjan Singh as well as their<br />

family are remembering their Mother and father on<br />

25 th anniversary of their father S. Lakha Singh JI<br />

Digpal and 15 th anniversary of their mother Mata<br />

Jogindar Kaur Digpal by having donated an<br />

Akhanpath in their sweet memories, which started on<br />

Friday the 27 th may and Bhog was on the 29 th May<br />

which ended with Ragi Jatha conducting a manhore<br />

kirtan. Lots of money was given out by all the<br />

brothers as well as the are sponsoring this issue of<br />

the Rasala as well and £132 was also sent to the<br />

Rasala by all the sons and Grandsons for which we<br />

would like to thank all of this Digpal family and P3<br />

Would wish to pray for the Soul of the Late S. Lakha Singh<br />

Ji Digpal who past away peacefully on 24 th May 1986 and<br />

Mata Jogindar Kaur Ji passed away on 17 th December<br />

1996 may the Waheguru give them abode at his feets and<br />

may he give lots of courage to the whole of this Digpal<br />

family so that they may bear the lost of their loved ones.<br />

BHAT SIKHS WERE AT THE FRONT IN<br />

BHATsrDWjlI<br />

UK FOR THE Ç SIKH RELIGION BELIEF<br />

To link this article please read issue 66 page 13.<br />

This was that time when in the India house the trade<br />

minister S. Manmohan Singh of Rawalpindi was<br />

working there and the second one was another<br />

Manmohan Singh of Patiala who won the aeroplane<br />

race in 1933 he was here in UK as well. Both of these<br />

really religious persons got together and tried to get<br />

both <strong>Gurdwara</strong>’s together again. They set up a<br />

meeting with Dr Diwan Singh and other committee<br />

members and came to the East <strong>Gurdwara</strong> at the<br />

Birthday of Guru Nanak Dev Ji in 1938 and in full<br />

Diwan on the stage Dr Diwan Singh withdrew his word<br />

back and said in the future he will treat everyone with<br />

the same respect. Like this after 2 years thanks to<br />

these two Gursikh the two <strong>Gurdwara</strong>’s became one<br />

again and as before Gurpurabh started to be<br />

celebrated together again.<br />

On 3 rd September 1939 the Second World War started,<br />

Germany started to pour down bombs on Britain. Black<br />

outs and air raids became the everyday experience and<br />

the care free people who use to get a good night sleep<br />

became the thing of the past. The whole of Britain<br />

became another Mahabharata. The <strong>Sikh</strong>s who were<br />

living in London went away in to the towns in the country<br />

side. But during all that time S. Sawaran Singh Ji Chakal<br />

who was the General Secretary of the Khalsa Jatha<br />

<strong>Gurdwara</strong> decided to stay in the <strong>Gurdwara</strong> it self. A<br />

Bomb did fall on one side of the <strong>Gurdwara</strong> but no one got<br />

hurt. During this turbulent time the <strong>Sikh</strong>s carried on<br />

celebrating the Gurpurabh always with an Akhanpath<br />

and kept the <strong>Gurdwara</strong> open, majority of the <strong>Sikh</strong>s who<br />

were doing that at that time were from the <strong>Bhat</strong> <strong>Sikh</strong><br />

community. They all use to travel where never they went<br />

and after the celebration would go back again. This<br />

routine was kept going right through the War.<br />

Change in Management<br />

Dr Diwan Singh remained the chair of the <strong>Gurdwara</strong><br />

for so long that he was treating the place as his own<br />

and he never thought of a change in the Management.<br />

But the rest of the people did want a change and<br />

every one was thinking who will be managing now and<br />

at that time the <strong>Bhat</strong> <strong>Sikh</strong> shone up like a star and it<br />

was them who use to come and take leadership in the<br />

celebrations so it was felt to put them forward and the<br />

first ever <strong>Bhat</strong> to be put forward as the Chairman was<br />

S. Diwan Singh Ji Dhariwal. After the of the Birthday<br />

of Sri Guru Nanak Dave Ji Gurpurabh celebration the<br />

election use to take place of the Management<br />

committee as well as for the chairman and every year<br />

no one use to stand against Dr Diwan Singh and he<br />

use to get elected un-opposed and carried on this way<br />

for the last 10 years. But after the Gurpurabh of Guru<br />

Nanak Dave Ji in 1946 was a different position, there<br />

were two candidates with the same name standing for<br />

the chair one was Dr. Diwan Singh whose name was<br />

well known throughout the UK and the other was S.<br />

Diwan Singh Dhariwal who was also known in the<br />

whole of the UK who use to attend the <strong>Gurdwara</strong> while<br />

the bombs were falling all over the place in London.<br />

So, S. Diwan Singh Ji Dhariwal was chosen chair and<br />

the other committee members were, vice chairman S.<br />

Jagat Singh Ji was elected, Gen: secretary was S.<br />

Sawaran Singh Chakal, Treasurer was Shri G.S Dara,<br />

Jathedar was Baba Asa Singh Ji and assistant Jathedar<br />

was S. Phuman Singh Ji. Although the election<br />

Was only for one year but the committee was elected<br />

next years as well. So in this way S. Diwan Singh Ji<br />

Dhariwal remained as the Chair of the Khalsa Jatha British<br />

Isle for two years. Remember that he was also the general<br />

secretary of the Changa <strong>Bhat</strong>ra Naujwan Sabah UK.<br />

Who was elected on 15 th August in 1939. This way the<br />

name of <strong>Sangat</strong> <strong>Bhat</strong>ra Samparda also became known<br />

through out the UK as well.<br />

The next Chairman elected was S. Sant<br />

Singh Ji Pardesi Ji<br />

Who came to Aden in 1936 with Jhanda Singh Patel<br />

and S. Waryam Singh Bhai where the writer met up with<br />

them there and the same year came to Britain. The<br />

second trip he did was when he came via Africa and<br />

reached U.K with 16 of his community person in 1938.<br />

The writer goes on to say that Pardesi Ji was a very<br />

religious and a Puran Gursikh where he had the good<br />

fortune of staying together with him for some time. He<br />

was one of the founder members of the <strong>Bhat</strong>ra<br />

Samparda Naujwan Sabha UK which was inaugurated,<br />

on 15 th August in 1939 and when S. Sant Singh Ji<br />

Pardesi Ji became the vice Chairman and when the<br />

chairman Baboo Jeewan Singh Ji went to South Africa<br />

allthe Chairman duties were conducted by S. Sant<br />

Singh Ji Pardesi Ji. In 1949 he became the Chairman of<br />

the Khalsa Jatha British Isle. During this year he looked<br />

after the interest of all the <strong>Sikh</strong>s in UK that he became<br />

well known to everyone. By this time this <strong>Gurdwara</strong><br />

became known as the social cultural and a religious<br />

centre and in 1951 the members of this <strong>Gurdwara</strong> were<br />

barrister, solicitors, Doctors and professors with many<br />

degrees but with the help of the <strong>Bhat</strong> community as well<br />

as the local Jat <strong>Sikh</strong>s the Chairmanship was awarded to<br />

Gy Rattan Singh Ji Shad when I myself was also<br />

present at that election at the age of 15 and this was his<br />

committee. Vice chairman S. Jagat Singh Ji, General<br />

Secretary S. Rattan Singh Ji as well as S. Rattan Singh<br />

Ji Kendly, Secretary S. Pakhar Singh Ji, Treasurer S.<br />

Mohindar Singh, assistant Treasurer S. Karpan Singh Ji,<br />

checker S.GS Dara, Jathedar Baba Asa Singh Ji, and<br />

assistant Jathedar S. Phuman Singh JI.<br />

This cabinet came forward and also brought in some<br />

changes within the Management as well as the name of<br />

the <strong>Gurdwara</strong>. They set up a weekly Diwan, changed<br />

the name of the Bupindra Dharamsalla to Bupindra<br />

<strong>Gurdwara</strong>, the anniversary of S. Udham Singh Ji<br />

Shaheed was remembered, The High commissioner of<br />

France S. Harditt Singh was asked to attend the<br />

Gurpurabh and holiday was sanctioned in the London<br />

high commissioner for all the <strong>Sikh</strong> at the embassy.<br />

Arrangement was made to meet the passengers coming<br />

from India to meet them at the Tilbury dock in London<br />

and escort them to safety.<br />

Central <strong>Gurdwara</strong> should be<br />

seen as an historical place<br />

The great Building of the central <strong>Gurdwara</strong> London was a<br />

church of the Salvation Army. In 1964 it was purchased<br />

with the cost of £25,000 and £26,000 was spent on its<br />

repairs. The first stone was laid by Sant Fateh Singh Ji in<br />

1967 and every one carried on working on it and on 13 th<br />

April 1970 it was opened on the Wasakhi day.<br />

Remembering that Bupindra <strong>Sikh</strong> <strong>Gurdwara</strong> was the first<br />

ever <strong>Gurdwara</strong> set up in Europe there for it is historical.<br />

Jaswant Singh Jas. Chief Editor. P13


Kindly, S. Surindar Singh Ji Rathore Rajpoot sent me his<br />

S.srDWjlI<br />

book in January 2010 called Ki <strong>Bhat</strong>re <strong>Bhat</strong> Brahmin Han<br />

Ja Rajpoot. In Çwhich<br />

he feels and is adamant that <strong>Bhat</strong>s<br />

are Brahmin and a very low class one at that and <strong>Bhat</strong>re<br />

are Rajpoot. He is trying to get his theory off the Ground<br />

by giving lots of citations from the old Magazine <strong>Sangat</strong><br />

Samachar as well as picking up <strong>information</strong> from GY.<br />

Makhmoor Ji’s book, Gy. Rattan Singh’s Shad Ji book<br />

Krantic Lehar da it has as well as from the books of Gy.<br />

Gian Singh Araf Ji. If you would like to order a book from<br />

him it cost Rs150 + postage. His address is Sherpur<br />

bypass, Dhuri District Sangroor Punjab India. We are<br />

going to tell you as to what he has written about you, eg<br />

all the Gotan. So let us start with, he goes on to say that<br />

he is going to tell us about the 22 Jatan of the <strong>Bhat</strong>ra<br />

<strong>Sikh</strong> community. Also order <strong>Bhat</strong>ra Rajput Vansh Prampra<br />

There are only proper 10 gotan of the community and<br />

these are 1. Rathore, 2. <strong>Bhat</strong>ti, 3. Kushwha, 4. Taak,<br />

5. Bence, 6. Larh, 7.Guarh, 8.Badgujar,9. Chohan. And<br />

the 10 th . is Parmar. He goes on to say that these are<br />

the 10 main ones then also they have branches and they<br />

are1. Lakhanpal, 2.Digwa, 3. Bhakar, 4. Roudh,<br />

5.Potiwal (Patwal) 6. Lohiae, 7. Kaang<br />

8. Naikteen, 9.Utarwal, 10.Kehnthe or Kehnth. Then<br />

there are 3 new branches which are 1. Suwalis, 2.Golea,<br />

3.yougi. He goes on to say that these are 3 branches are<br />

also branches but now they are also known as the proper<br />

Gotan and do marry within each other gotan.<br />

1. Rathore –<br />

One of the Jaats of the Rajpoots and this is Suraj vanshi<br />

Marwar, and in Bikaner this Jaat can be found and that is<br />

where they are setteled. According to the Mahankosh<br />

page 1018 column 3)1 These Jaat came out of Sri Ram<br />

younger son Kush. Its old name use to be Rashterkoot<br />

and from there slowly it came to Rashter koot the slowly<br />

became to be known as Raoter then Rathore with V and<br />

now it is Rathore.<br />

Some of the Kabila of Kush came to the west; here they<br />

had their kingdom called Maan Khera. One section came<br />

and set up a kingdom in Maharashtra and here they<br />

spread them selves as far away as Kathiawar, Bindaoo,<br />

and to Kanaouj. In year 1243 e or there about they came<br />

to Marwar and the Rathores made their Rajdhani in<br />

Jodhpur, Bikaner. Rathore are well known for their might<br />

see Rajput Wanshawali page 73-75.<br />

Further on this Kabila got divided in to 135 to 140<br />

branches in the <strong>Bhat</strong>ra Community Rathore and its Swali<br />

branch can be found<br />

2. <strong>Bhat</strong>ti :-<br />

According to Colonel Todd that <strong>Bhat</strong>ti were born in the<br />

city of Jaisalmair and in the Yadve family that is why they<br />

call them <strong>Bhat</strong>ti. Eventually they were controlling all the<br />

land in the east side of the Garah River.(history of<br />

Rajasthan page 33)<br />

One section of the <strong>Bhat</strong>ti community came to the hilly<br />

side of Punjab and established a Kingdome in 623e and<br />

at one time they even set up their own calendar called<br />

<strong>Bhat</strong>eek. <strong>Bhat</strong>ner and Bathinda were some of their towns<br />

where they use to live. In Pindi it self there was a great<br />

hero Dula <strong>Bhat</strong>ti, and then at the time of Guru Nanak dev<br />

Ji there was this famous Rai Bulaar <strong>Bhat</strong>ti.<br />

The well to do people of Patiala, Nabha, Sangroor link<br />

them selves Rajput <strong>Bhat</strong>ti ( Rajput Wanshawali page<br />

214)<strong>Bhat</strong>ti are Chandar wanshi Rajput. Lots of the <strong>Bhat</strong>ti<br />

became Muslims. They are divided in to lots of different<br />

sections. There is’nt an area of Punjab where you will not<br />

see <strong>Bhat</strong>ti Rajput. Within the <strong>Bhat</strong> <strong>Sikh</strong> community there<br />

is a prominent kinship. For further <strong>information</strong> see <strong>Bhat</strong>ra<br />

Rajput vansh prampra.<br />

3.Chohan:- According to Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha the<br />

Chohan are one of the Jaats of the Rajput. It is believed<br />

and as the saying goes that the Chohan had four arms.<br />

Maharaja Prithviraj Raj Chohan belonged to this Jaat as<br />

well. (Mahan Kosh page 478). According to Colonel Taad<br />

Chohan- (Cheman) is Rajput, and are most valiant, brave,<br />

fearless and high spirited community. The Chohan have 24<br />

different branches (history of Rajasthan page 36-371) lots<br />

of different places there are Jaat who also call them selves<br />

Chohan. In Punjab many of the Khinchi and Varech are<br />

also call them selves Chohan. According to the new finds<br />

the Chohan’s are suraj vanshi Rajput. He goes on to say<br />

that he has list of 150 names which also link the Chohan to<br />

Gola (Goelwal or goelsan). He goes on to say that this Jaat<br />

remembers their ancestors and starts from Ravgoga<br />

Chohan. Chohan can be found in all parts of the Punjab<br />

and are a very big Kabila.<br />

4.Gola:- Within the <strong>Bhat</strong>ra <strong>Sikh</strong> community Gola is<br />

well known Jaat, some Golea also calling them<br />

selves Chohan. The Gola Jaat also remembers their<br />

ancestors and starts with the Chohan Ravgoga.<br />

According to some writers that from the 24 different<br />

branches of the Chohan Gola is also one of the old<br />

ones among them. The Gola have been known to be<br />

called Goelwal, Gull, Golawal, and Golason are the<br />

names of Gola Jaat. According to Gy Makhmoor he<br />

believes that Gola are Gohale Rajput. But this writer<br />

say he is not correct and that Golea really are<br />

Chohan as well as they are Suraj Vanshi Rajput.<br />

5 Lakhanpal:- In the <strong>Bhat</strong>ra <strong>Sikh</strong> community<br />

Lakhanpal as well as their branch Landa can be<br />

found. The Lakhanpal Jaat can also be found in<br />

among the Rajput as well as barbers and the Nayee<br />

community. According to Mr HS Rose this is part of<br />

the Rajput’s and that they are Chander Vanshi.<br />

Gy Makhmoor Ji says that this Jaat started from the<br />

14 sons of Raja Pushkar and that one of the sons<br />

was called Lakhanpal. But Rose goes on to say that<br />

this Jaat can also be found in the Barbers Nayee<br />

Kabila. But according to this writer he says that this<br />

Kabila was born in Parmar Wrah family and that they<br />

are the off spring of Raja of Bathinda who was called<br />

Lakhanpal who can also be found in the Gill Jaats as<br />

well. A branch of Lakhanpal and Landae can also be<br />

found in the Gill Jaats as well. He goes on to say that<br />

I have written them as Suraj Vanshi in my other book.<br />

He goes on to say that if we get out of the arguments<br />

of Suraj Vanshi or Chander Vansi then this becomes<br />

clear that this Lakhanpal Kabila is Rajput, and that<br />

they are not Brahmin of <strong>Bhat</strong> background. The Landa<br />

Jaat in the form of Lundea can be found in kamboan<br />

or Kambojan community as well. The Kamboje Kabila<br />

believes that they are Kasturi Brhamin.<br />

Well here are some of our Jaatan, Kabilea see what<br />

you make of your own, I have translated as best as I<br />

can, but please do give us some feedback from these<br />

so that we can come to you with the rest of them like<br />

Bhakar, Jogi, Sheri, Budgujar or Goojra, Roudh,<br />

Digwa, Parmar, panwar, Potiwal, Patwal, Lohiae,<br />

Swali If I have missed any please do let me know<br />

and if we don’t know then we will ask some one who<br />

does. Jaswant Singh Jas Chief Editor.<br />

We are very sad, very sad indeed<br />

To report to our readers that our beloved niece<br />

‘queeni’ Balwindar Kaur, daughter of our late sister<br />

Hans Kaur and wife of S. Fouja Singh Roudh of<br />

Southampton has passed away on 15 th June.<br />

After fighting so many years with the dialyses<br />

Machine. She was only 57/58 years old.<br />

Her Antim Sanskar was held on Tuesday 21 st June.<br />

She has left behind her husband, five daughters and<br />

a son.<br />

We wish to portray our sympathy to our dearest<br />

Fouja Singh as well as to her five daughters and rest<br />

of her family two brothers as well as two sisters.<br />

Our prayer are that may the Waheguru portray peace<br />

on her soul and give strength and courage to her<br />

husband, daughters, son, sisters and brothers to<br />

bear her never forgetful loss. With a very heavy heart<br />

Mama Jaswant Singh Jas. Page 6<br />

Thank you for your kind letter<br />

Our dearest S. Gulab Singh Sucha Ji have written to us<br />

from Middlesbrough . Param satkar yog S. Jaswant Singh<br />

Jas Ji, Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh.<br />

I am writing this letter to say that I have received the issue<br />

66 and it is very interesting to read, I am receiving the<br />

Rasala <strong>Bhat</strong> <strong>Sangat</strong> Sandesh on a regularly basis and I<br />

always appreciate and value the time and the commitment<br />

and dedication that you, your self, as well as your team put<br />

in to carrying on publishing and distributing the Rasala to<br />

all the <strong>Bhat</strong> <strong>Sangat</strong> <strong>Gurdwara</strong>’s as well as to your regulars<br />

members. Please carry on with your good work.<br />

In the last issue number 66 you have perhaps made a<br />

mistake when you wrote that my great grand father Bapu<br />

S. Hakam Singh Ji Taoo had three sons.<br />

But in fact he had four sons and they were<br />

S.Hakam Singh<br />

Taoo<br />

The third<br />

one was S.<br />

Veer Singh<br />

Ji Gorkha on<br />

the left and<br />

on the right<br />

is my Grand<br />

father<br />

S Hari<br />

Singh<br />

Ji<br />

Raja<br />

on the<br />

left<br />

on the<br />

right is<br />

S. Nihal Singh Ji<br />

S. Amar<br />

Singh Ji<br />

Phelwan<br />

the<br />

youngest<br />

of the<br />

four<br />

brothers<br />

Thank you, by the way for pointing that S. Hakam Singh Ji<br />

Taoo had 4 sons and that the youngest one of the four<br />

brothers was in fact your Grandfather S. Amar Singh<br />

Phelwan. But dear one I did not write that S. Hakam Singh<br />

Ji Taoo had three sons all I did write was that the first<br />

people to land in Britain was six people and those were S.<br />

Hakam Singh Ji Taoo and his three sons, Hari Singh JI<br />

Raja, S. Nihal Singh Ji and S. Veer Singh Ji Gorkha as well<br />

as S. Pashora Singh Gola and his son Khushal Singh Gola.<br />

Perhaps therefor your grandfather was busy doing<br />

Phelwani and thus he did not come with his father and<br />

brothers as the 4 th . S. Hakam Singh and his three sons and<br />

Pashora Singh and his son. That made 6.The meeting that<br />

took place on 6 th June 1939 in 8 Golding Street S. Hakam<br />

Singh Taoo and his four sons did not take part in that<br />

although 22 <strong>Bhat</strong> <strong>Sikh</strong> individuals did. Then on 15 th August<br />

1939 A general Meeting took place in 8 Golding Street<br />

once again and 51 people were present but Bapu Hakam<br />

Singh Ji or his 4 sons were not in that meeting also, when<br />

they selected a name for the of the organisation called<br />

Changa <strong>Bhat</strong>ra Naujwan Sabha UK. But then when 34<br />

Indian boarded the Haroona Maroo ship on 21st June 1940<br />

S. Hakam Singh Ji was not on that list but four of his sons<br />

were not just Amar Singh Ji Phelwan but the other three<br />

brothers as well. I do hope that this clears the matter. Can I<br />

say it was great to hear from you and that you should carry<br />

on informing us say after the second or the third issue of<br />

the <strong>Bhat</strong> <strong>Sangat</strong> Sandesh and let us know that the Rasala<br />

<strong>Bhat</strong> <strong>Sangat</strong> Sandesh is still coming? Today a Rasala<br />

came back from Edinburgh. We sent it back again.<br />

Bapu Hakam Singh Ji Taoo was the son of S. Buta Singh Ji<br />

Rathore and was the grandson of Khanda Singh Rathore.<br />

Question from you? Can any one enlighten you as to what<br />

does Tou, or Taoo Bapu Ji Thakalas means. Thank you.<br />

are still using meet in their Langar hall, if some of them<br />

do not cook it there but are bringing it cooked from out<br />

side and are serving it in the langar hall, this practice<br />

must stop. In the olden says we all use to do it and even<br />

that was wrong, but we had no other option at that time,<br />

but now we have all the resources within our reach that<br />

is why we should stop this practice. The younger<br />

generation of all <strong>Sikh</strong>s of today are thinking very far<br />

ahead and are filming secretly within our <strong>Gurdwara</strong>’s and<br />

then are taking it in front of the media we should<br />

therefore never give them any chance to point a finger<br />

towards us. It does not matter really speaking as to who<br />

they are, what they are that should not concern us as<br />

long as we abide by the ruling as to how a <strong>Gurdwara</strong><br />

should be run and how it should function, remember our<br />

<strong>Gurdwara</strong>’s are not Dharamsalla but they have the<br />

Saroop of our eternal Guru, Guru Granth Sahib Ji, so it is<br />

the house of the Guru and we all needs to respect it and<br />

in return the Guru as well as all the others will also<br />

respect us. Please look and digest this article very<br />

carefully among all the members of the <strong>Gurdwara</strong>.<br />

S Nelam Singh Shaan have written<br />

from Portsmouth<br />

Sardar Ji - Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru<br />

Ji Ki Fateh !<br />

Chief Editor – S. Jaswant Singh Jas Ji MBE<br />

Let's ALL unite and have one voice and a strong<br />

one. Let's hear your comments.<br />

I urge the editorial team to promote this publication<br />

and send letters to our <strong>Gurdwara</strong>’s all of them<br />

explaining the dangers of these sites encourage more<br />

articles and if it picks up then go to a monthly<br />

magazine maybe. I know there is a cost attached and<br />

hopefully with more articles will come donations<br />

which we know are gratefully received and<br />

appreciated.<br />

We all know the recent things out on You Tube and<br />

that is all wrong and lets all, stand as one to defend<br />

this.<br />

Let's encourage our youngsters to share their Khushi<br />

event through this medium our own publication - tell<br />

us all what your <strong>Gurdwara</strong> is doing or proposing to<br />

do. This magazine is for you, let's use it and stop<br />

putting things on these sites for all and sundry to<br />

comment and make detrimental remarks.<br />

It can be totally misinterpreted and becomes scandal. It<br />

puts our <strong>Bhat</strong> <strong>Sangat</strong> at great risk and please don't use<br />

them.<br />

It is great to put things on You Tube, Face book, Twitter<br />

etc - and then the next thing, what happens to that stuff<br />

when it gets into the wrong hands.<br />

I am writing to you with my concerns over these social<br />

network sites.<br />

Dear Nelam Singh Ji Sat Sri akal,<br />

Thank you for your letter but it has arrived with us<br />

with lots of ifs and buts, it seem to us that you have<br />

written to us in code word, If you felt that some one<br />

has put some thing on you tube, face book or even on<br />

twitter then it should be that you should at least did let<br />

us know as to who is putting things up on these site<br />

as you call them. We do agree that if our matters do<br />

get in to wrong hand it could problem, I am sorry but<br />

we don’t go in to looking in to you tube, face book or<br />

the twitter. It is the duty of our community that if you<br />

feel that some one has put some thing up on these<br />

sites then please do let us know so that we can at<br />

least tell our readers before they hear it from some<br />

one else. So let me urge you to keep your letters<br />

coming and to tell us as to what is happening on the<br />

internet. Did you hear that we are going to run a web<br />

site called www.bhatsangatrishta.com where we will<br />

be putting looking for a match no personal<br />

<strong>information</strong>s as we did in the Rasala.Jas. pyj 11


Ç Ç Ç Ç<br />

Well here we are at the top of the summer season<br />

while writing this editorial we were told that it was<br />

going to be 30 degree and how right they were it was<br />

even touching 31 or 32, but we were told it was going<br />

to hotter in London, but only for a day or so. We do<br />

very much hope that you did get the Rasala safely as<br />

one came back we corrected that and sent it back.<br />

When we sent the last issue number 66 put included a<br />

slip in the envelope which said if you are receiving this<br />

Rasala then please do let us know other wise we<br />

might not send you another, thinking that you might<br />

not have had the last one, we don’t wish to be in any<br />

doubt thinking you did get it and in return you did not<br />

get it as you are in the thought may be he has not sent<br />

it. So please do reply if you are getting the Rasala.<br />

Even after the second or the third issue.<br />

We are taking all these decision as the cost of the<br />

Rasala is going up very fast; we no longer have<br />

annual members. So if you would like to receive this<br />

|Rasala then please send us a cheque for £51 or go to<br />

our new website www.bhatsangatsandesh.com and<br />

you can download our new issues you can down load<br />

them then, or send us your Email address and we will<br />

send you a PDF copy why the internet. We are doing<br />

all this because we want to reduce our cost, as if we<br />

can send 10 Rasala by email that will save us £4.<br />

Anyway once again we are at your service and are<br />

hoping that you are well along with your family. You<br />

will be glad to read that this issue of the Rasala has<br />

been sponsored by our dear Brother S. Harcharan<br />

Singh as well as his brother S. Jaswant Singh, S.<br />

Arjan Singh Digpal and the Family of the late S.<br />

Parduman Singh as well as the families of all brothers.<br />

In remembrance to their Dear Father the Late S.<br />

Lakha Singh Digpal on his 25 th anniversaries and dear<br />

mother Mata Jogindar Kaur on her 15 th anniversaries.<br />

For which we would like to thank all the Digpal families<br />

and pray for the soul of the departed parents.<br />

The next issue of the Rasala is going to be sponsored by<br />

our brother Amarjeet Singh Ji Potiwal of Cardiff. If any of<br />

our kind brother or sister wish to sponsor the Rasala<br />

after that then can they kindly let us know as soon as<br />

possible so that we may book the same in their name.<br />

We would like to point respectfully that if this Rasala is<br />

running then it only running because all of your help that<br />

all of our readers are providing which we cannot do<br />

without. So phone us today to book one the next Rasala<br />

soon.<br />

In the letter section you will read a letter from our<br />

brother in Portsmouth who is saying that some of our<br />

lad from the community is putting different stuff on the<br />

YouTube, face book or the twitter lots of different thing<br />

about the Bradri which I am told is not a very good<br />

thing to do. Can I urge to those brothers of mine to<br />

refrain from doing that.<br />

If they got some thing against some families then they<br />

should write to us and we will print if is printable as<br />

this is a Rasala which is only being circulated within<br />

the <strong>Bhat</strong> <strong>Sikh</strong> community. We should not throw insult<br />

at each other in public.<br />

This is why I would like to ask all of our <strong>Bhat</strong> <strong>Sikh</strong><br />

<strong>Gurdwara</strong>’s to get together and do things collectively and<br />

not on our own, because at the present moment the left<br />

hand does not know what is the right hand is doing.<br />

I am not saying that they should not pass any<br />

thing that they want to better the situation in all of our<br />

community but to let other <strong>Gurdwara</strong>’s know what you have<br />

decided and why so that every other <strong>Gurdwara</strong> will know<br />

what you have decided and why. Really speaking it does<br />

not matter what different issues you have decided on,<br />

like the Janjh, Janjis, dowry, coaches etc, etc. But also<br />

to write to the rest of the <strong>Gurdwara</strong>’s. And we will all<br />

know.<br />

Our readers will be very pleased to read that we have<br />

now put 5 new issues of our Rasala on our new<br />

website in a week or two we will upload the issue 67<br />

there as well. The address of the new website is<br />

www.<strong>Bhat</strong>sangatsandesh.com<br />

When I was in Nottingham few weeks a go I heard in<br />

there that one of our brother has started or developed<br />

www.bhatsikhrishta.com I found out that he his from<br />

London, Maybe if he writes to us to explain how it works<br />

we can included in our Rasala. Another one of our<br />

brother in Southampton has got some sort of<br />

matchmaker going but we still don’t know who it is. And<br />

we have not seen any thing of it. It would have been<br />

better to work together.<br />

Because now we have also developed a website called<br />

www.bhatsangatrishta.com and as soon as it is up and<br />

running we will put the <strong>information</strong> of any one seeking to<br />

have a match free of charge. So quickly send yours or<br />

your children <strong>information</strong> with your name and address<br />

and telephone all that will not be put on the website.<br />

We are also looking for those people who do catering,<br />

DJ, Balloons, Bhangra group, Singing Group s like<br />

Alaap and other as well as video maker Photographers<br />

to come and advertise their name on our website called<br />

www.bhatsangatrishta.com. And can they send us an<br />

email to find out how much for how long to put their<br />

organisation on our web site. Can I say that please do<br />

keep an eye open for our Rishta website called<br />

www.bhatsangatrishta.com and as quickly as you can<br />

send us the <strong>information</strong> of your children that you wish to<br />

marry and see how quickly they will be able to find a<br />

match and it is all free but you have to send the<br />

<strong>information</strong> in a letter and with your name and<br />

addresses which will not be included on the website.<br />

Any Donations towards it will of course be welcome<br />

nothing compulsory.<br />

We wish to ask all of our younger generation to please<br />

do write to us with your thoughts as to what do you think<br />

of our Rasala <strong>Bhat</strong> <strong>Sangat</strong> Sandesh, what else should it<br />

include and maybe what you feel should not be in there.<br />

At the end of the day we won’t know if you do not write<br />

to us. So really speaking I am looking out for some sort<br />

of communication from all of you. Because now you will<br />

be able to down load what ever, which ever Rasala from<br />

our website. So now we are going to have one website<br />

for your comments and letters and that one will be the<br />

one below www.bhatsangat.com our readers will be<br />

able to send in their letters and views to be uploaded on<br />

this website for every one to read. So come on send us<br />

your thoughts, comments on any thing you like as long<br />

as it is not a contention, we will up load them for every<br />

one to see and we should have this up and running in<br />

three or four weeks time. Looking forwards to receiving<br />

your letters and comments, while I remain Guru <strong>Sangat</strong><br />

di Charandhoor, Jaswant Singh Jas. Chief Editor <strong>Bhat</strong><br />
