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 />

All of our community is urged that lots of our <strong>Gurdwara</strong>’s<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
