September 08, 2022 1947: South Asia, Panjab & Sikhs | The Sikh Cast | SikhRI
Several new South Asian nation-states were born as the British Raj ended in 1947. The Panjab of the Indus Valley civilization (3300-1300 BCE) and the Sikh Rulers (1710-1849) was annexed by the British in 1849 and partitioned by their Radcliffe line in 1947. Akalis have been representing the Sikh political consciousness since 1920.
After 75 years of the Partition:
Why are the significant sections of Panjabis and the Sikhs feeling estranged?
What are the historical, cultural, geopolitical, trade, and economic contexts and realities?
How can those mentioned above be addressed, given the current trends?

Persian
ای کمالِ تو کمال است و کمال است و کمال
ای جمالِ تو جمال است و جمال است و جمال
ای که نزدیکی تو از شه رگ و عالم حیران
یارِ ما این چه خیال است و خیال است و خیال
من ندانم که کدامم که کدامم که کدام
بندهٔ اویم و او حافظِ من در همه حال
دلِ من فارغ و در کوی تو پرواز کند
گر زِ‌ راهِ‌ کرمِ خویش ببخشی پر و بال
صاحبِ حال به جز حرفِ خدا دم نزند
غیرِ ذکرش همه آواز بود قیل و مقال
مرشدِ کاملِ ما بندگی ات فرماید
ای زهی فالِ مبارک که کند صاحبِ حال
بی تو یک دم و نفس هست مرا همچو سال
این وبال است و وبال است و وبال است و وبال
هر که گوید تو چه باشی و چه گوید جز تو
گشت حیران همه عالم همه در عین جمال
English Translation
Such is our deep connection with You,
That only with Your arrival, there is exuberance in the world.
In Your pathway, I have spread out,
My eyes and my heart—the only worthy possessions I could offer.
Have some compassion for the Divine’s faqīrs!
‍So that you may find bliss in this world.
Direct your heart towards the Divine at all times,
So you can cross the bridge of Sirāṭ with ease.
No one is at ease under the ever-turning sky,
So Goya, just move through this worn perpetual caravanserai.
