Pakistani Sikh Singer

We know there is a sizable Sikh population in Pakistan, despite many Sikhs who were forced to migrate to India during partition.  In 2008, the Pakistani Sikh Anand Marriage Act was passed in Pakistani, which allowed Sikhs in their marriage certificates as Sikhs.  Currently in India, Sikhs are identified as Hindus in marriage certificates.

Interestingly, I came across this music video by Jassi Singh Lailpura (i.e. Jasbir Singh) , a Pakistani Sikh.

He also gave an interview on a morning Pakistani television show where he talked more abut his music and life.  Lailpura believes that a Pakistani is not defined by a religion or race, but by someone who believes it to be their country.  It is obvious from the interview that he is a proud Punjabi Sikh from Pakistan. He talks about the impact of Partition on a Sikh woman.  You can watch his interview below.

    Faiz Ahmed Faiz. It is very much relevant for Punjabi Nation (Not referring to Sikhs alone) who are divided by the line on the land and the paper.
