00:00The history of the Sikh community is a history of great sacrifices and martyrdom.
00:05Today we are talking about the martyr Seva Singh Thikriwala,
00:08who was a resident of the historical village of Barnara.
00:12Today we are standing in front of his ancestral village, Thikriwala,
00:15where his 91st Barsi is being celebrated in the village.
00:19In this Barsi celebration, there is a three-day celebration,
00:22in which on the 18th, the publication of Shri Akhand Bahadur Sahib is held,
00:26and on the 19th, on behalf of the Punjab government,
00:29on behalf of any party in the government of Punjab,
00:32Sardar Anjali is being celebrated.
00:34And on the last day, on the 20th of January,
00:37the parties on the opposite side, their leaders and other farmers and social groups,
00:41Sardar Anjali is being celebrated.
00:43Today we are standing at the place where the martyr Seva Singh Thikriwala was born,
00:47where he spent a long time of his life.
00:51Today when he is being celebrated, Sardar Anjali is being celebrated,
00:55leaders are coming in large numbers, people are coming in thousands.
00:59I would like to show you that this building behind me,
01:03this is the birthplace of martyr Seva Singh Thikriwala.
01:08Here is the birthplace of martyr Seva Singh Thikriwala,
01:11which has been turned into a ruin.
01:13Only this building is left.
01:15For a long time, this place has been asked to be maintained,
01:19in the form of this museum,
01:21that this place should be maintained.
01:24But due to this, the government at any given time,
01:27and the people of the village,
01:29every time there is a problem with the media,
01:31that this place should be maintained.
01:33This has made it such a big mansion,
01:36in which martyr Seva Singh spent a long time of his life.
01:40All the movements of that time,
01:42the first movement of a century,
01:44whether it was against the British,
01:46or against the Rajwara Sahi,
01:48it has been preserved.
01:50From that mansion, he spent his life.
01:53Today, the village panchayat has announced,
01:56that this place has been handed over to the panchayat.
01:59Since then, the government of Punjab,
02:01Harpal Singh Chima, the Chief Minister of Punjab,
02:04has come here.
02:05He has also announced lakhs of rupees
02:07for the preservation of this place.
02:09We will definitely talk to the people of the village.
02:12Two years ago, the Chief Minister of Punjab,
02:15Bhagwat Maan, announced that
02:17a girls' nursing college will be built here.
02:21But the college has not been built yet.
02:24For the deserted place,
02:26the Chief Minister has also announced,
02:29that a nursing college will be built soon,
02:32with the help of other villagers.
02:34But we tell one more thing about martyr Seva Singh,
02:37that martyr Seva Singh,
02:39was the founder of Shromri Kalidhar.
02:41When Kalidhar came into existence,
02:43he was the name in the Modi journals,
02:45in the Modi archives.
02:47He created the Parja Mandal wave.
02:50And the Muzara wave,
02:52against the farmers,
02:54against Rajwada Shahi,
02:56against the Patiala state.
02:58In that, there was a great contribution
03:00of martyr Seva Singh.
03:02On the night of 19th and 20th January,
03:04he was martyred.
03:06He went to jail against Rajwada Shahi,
03:08against the Patiala state.
03:10He served there for a long time.
03:12And he also died a martyr's death.
03:14The legacy of our martyrs,
03:16the martyrs of the community,
03:18and their legacy,
03:20is a question for the villagers,
03:22for the government,
03:24for the administration.
03:26They should be taken care of,
03:28so that the future generations,
03:30the new generations,
03:32the future generations,
03:34they should know,
03:36how much history we have to make.
03:38From Varanasi, I am Lafeer Jee, for ETVPOWER.
