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
