Inspiring Resolve: The Sikh Morcha of Bhai Pheru Gurdwara

This account by Sodhi Harbhajan Singh (my grandfather) was shared by Bhai Kulbir Singh on Gurmatbibtek.

Recounted by Pitajee (as my grandfather was known to us), this story is about a British police captain who was ordered to handle a peaceful protest by the Akalis at Gurdwara Bhai Pheru in Lahore, Pakistan, in 1924. Despite using various methods to gather information about the protesters, including physical torture, the protesters refused to disclose their worldly father’s name, instead naming Siri Guru Gobind Singh as their father and Sri Anandpur Sahib as their village. Overwhelmed by their non-violent resolve, the police captain resigned and wrote a resignation letter acknowledging the strength and pride of the Sikhs.
