Khalsa Dawakhana

In the history of South Asia 1947 was a blood-soaked year—hundreds of thousands got killed while millions were uprooted from their ancestral lands. Prior to '47 Sikhs lived everywhere in North-Eastern area of what is today Pakistan. I hang my head in shame knowing that presently there is only a small number of Sikhs left there.

I have been a great fan of Sardars—more so after a community of them saved my life in Lusaka, the year was 1992. I got sick while traveling and sojourned at a Gurdwara (Singa Singa Mesquita). The family that took care of the temple took me to the hospital and fed me. I don't recall their names, but I remember there was a young man who pursued a modeling career and wanted to go to the US.

Compared to followers of other faiths, a practicing Sikh must find it very hard to conceal his identity. And that is the reason I always wondered what professions Sikhs in Pakistan took, and how they kept a low profile in the rising tide of hollow religiosity of the majority. In my last trip to Pakistan I ran into a very colorful Sardar. He was a hakim who ran a Yunani matab called 'Khalsa Dawakhana.' Here is video footage of Hakim Sarber Singh.

You shouldn't say things like that, hate breeds hate, there's too much of this on yt already, it shames me that some of my Indian brothers and sisters have no comprehension of peace and understanding and equality.

Majority of these sikhs/hindus living on the outskirts of pakistan will eventually have to make there long over due journey home to India or maybe perhaps Afghanistan/Iran.

The children of many of these indians are probably at marriage age and typically will not find any suitors in paki nor any suitors willing to relocate to paki.

India has its duty to issue them visas. Paki will eventually be "the land of the pure".

we are not brothers with paksitans u idiot

wot dont u understand

[dharmenderhema]

as far as gurkhas are concerned u r only better quality yhen us ,that is u never fight within urselfwhere as in sikhs we say that u will find words bravest men here and even the most crooked and betraying person will also be here only

[dharmenderhema]

a warrior should respect warriors

but get ur facts right.gurkhas were a peace force in punjab in 1947 cuz sikh and punjabi soldiers were back home in the troubled land of punjab to help their families move

Not just sikhs, but also hindus, all non-muslims should be rescued from that evil land called PAKISTAN. Sikhs and Hindus have to pay Jaziya in Pakistan to practice their religion... We as Indians, the WORLD's LARGEST DEMOCRACY should be ashamed what's happening to our bros' n' sis' in that EVIL PAKISTAN.
