PREAMBLE:

We are considering the 75th year as the diamond jubilee of Shriromani Akali Dal which took its birth from the womb of heart redening and historical tragedy of Sri Nankana Sahib, which took place on the 20th of Febuary, 1921 A.D.

The Martyrdom of nine years old child Darbarra Singh alongwith his martyr father Sardar Kehar Singh, shook the conscience of the whole world. I heard about the great child martyr's self-sacrifice when i was a small boy. The historic event impressed and inspired me a lot.

Much was spoken of and some writers also wrote about Shaheed Darbarra Singh during those days but then was forgotten and today even the Sikhs who claim to be well-informed of the Sikh history of the 20th century, are ignorant of this ever-inspired story of this great child martyr.

We are greatful of Prof. Sher Singh 'Sher' who has done a great deal of research and study on this event and has written, "FLAIM OF FAITH", the forgotten tale of the unforgettable martyr which was badly needed to be historically resurrected and preserved which has been done by publishing it during the Diamond Jubilee year of Shiromani Akal Dal (1996). In addition to this publiction, we are heatfully delighted to fix the painting of this child martyr Darbarra Singh in the Central Sikh Musuem, Sri Darbar Sahib, Sri Amritsar.

His published biography and painting, drawn by the famous Sikh Artist S. Jarnail Singh of Chandigarh, will inspire Sikhs, generation by generation, and particularly the younger generations as well as the present and the properity.

I hope that the story that is about to follow will provide you with some insight into how important it is for parents to teach their children about their culture and big the effect can be such as on Darbarra Singh. If you like my blog, please do become a follower and please do leave comments.
