Very Sad News: Ishmeet Singh Passes Away
Ishmeet Singh, the winner of the “Voice of India” contest, passed away today after drowning in a hotel swimming pool in the Maldives. He was the only son of his parents, and was set to perform at an event in Maldives capital. Such a tragic story and such a great loss for the Punjabi community.
Ishmeet had been vocal about his intent to encourage Sikh youth to step out of the shadows and achieve their dreams.
This talented Sikh turned out to be very humble, polite, and caring. His idea on winning rested in the ultimate sense to have faith in Waheguru wholeheartedly. He is an idol to many young Sikhs all around the world and he can inspire and motivate young Sikh men and women to succeed in life without compromising their values and traditions under any pressure whatsoever. While interviewing him, he very clearly said to me that in future he would do everything in his power to help Sikh youth with talent to step out of the shadow.
His Shabad Kirtan CD had just been released and many were hoping to see the beginning of a wonderful journey for Ishmeet. He will be greatly missed.

Ishmeet was not only a great singer but a role model to our youth that anything can be accomplished with hard work and dedication
I was really shocked when i heard about it. still i am not able to believe that ishmeet is no more. i am feeling very bad for him and
for his parents. He was the only son of his parents. May his soul rest in peace.He was my favourite in star voice of india.
I think this case should be investigated. I pray for his family that god gave them huge courage.’I pray to god plz return us our ishneet
specially for his parents.’ He was a wonderful human being.
fans of ishmeet will never forget him. He will always be remained with us. Still i m not able to believe it……
I am shocked to hear the sad news. He was such a soft spoken person. He will sure be missed. He is the lost to a industry.
I could not believe it. May lord keep his soul in peace. My heartiest condolence to his parents.

i m really sorry for a tragic end of a beautiful life.i just hope he gets peace at least thr up in heaven.i dnt knw who did it ,who intended it but definitely ishmeet was heart of young generation thruout nd ofcourse life of we all indians.we cant accpt it cum wat may.people join hands nd compel the authorities to take out the inquiry procedure unless proved otherwise that ishmeet died of drowning.just come out nd show thm tht we still fight for injustice.we want justice for our soul.for our ishmeet.i wish him peace for his heavenly abode.ishmeet u wil be remembred throughout our lives.
i want his soul to rest in peace.
It’s not only a loss for the sikh community but a loss for India. He was a perfect son to his parents, and god gave him many gifts and singing was just one of them, but as they say even god need good people with him up there so he called ishmeet. Rest in peace brother.
Definitely shocking news. Ishmeet was such a great singer, here in Canada in small town; we know he was our favorite when we watched him sing on Voice of India;he is the voice of India. Must need inquires on his death, it really puts a bad reflection on the resort and its security system. My sincere condolence to Ishmeet’s family, may god give them strength to face with this great loss. He will live in our hearts.
Pyara
YES , I am also really shocked to listen about his sudden death . I am very much upset and I am crying . HE was such a down to earth , caring person that he will be in our heart forever . Oh really shocking news . May Ishmeet’s soul rest in peace . I feel that how I go to Ludhiana and console his parents . May god give their parents strength to face this great loss
Ishmeet abhi bhi mere dil me hai . Aur uski awaaz hamesha ke liye sabke kanon gunjti rahegi . This shocking news is making me cry and I am really crying .
why are everone sayin a great loss to sikh community.i’am a hindu and i share the same feelin ans so does the whole country.may his soul rest in peace.
I cannot believe the news. I hope his family find the strength in God to help them in this difficult time. Our deepest thoughts and prayers are with you all.
It is difficult to let go of our mourning but what is the use? We all have to go one day, everyting you see will perish. Why waste time mourning what has happened is in accord to the Hukam of Guru ji, spend time uplifting in moral and noble deed, so one day when you shall perish you shall be ordained to merge with Vaheguru. Let go of his accomplishments and first see if he has progressed spiritually, if not he shall suffer the cycle of life which the human body is so ardous to obtain, as the ripe fruit that has fallen shall never go back whence it has spawned, so shall this body. Death is hovering over the head and is gleefully counting our breaths which we use for the pursuit of worldly entities, it is all useless, only our sins and actions will acount for Guru Ji’s court, no worldly titles shall be present, only Guru’s word. I just hope Guruji will feel pity for this Singh and breath life to him as a human so he may rid of his debt to the Guru and attain Sachkhand.

My heartest condolence goes out to the Singh family as well as the entire Sikh community in the passing of such a wonderful, bright humble man.I always watch SVOI and loved listening to this guy.He will be greatly missed.
Who will answer??? Ishmeet Singh! A young singer star voice of India and like him in any field! You were not alone to go unattended minus politics and list is endless and continues….!!! Is the news meant for a damage covering up tactics on behalf of and for Akalis? Does the planted leadership of Sikhs free to exercise their political Will? Is the leadership to do anything with national interest or Sikhs? Do the Akalis have any ideology except to fulfill their own greed at the costs of Sikhs? Are the so-called opponents of Congress not having close social relations with Congress? Did the Akalis enjoy their silence and Sikhs suffered endlessly in independent India? Do Sikhs aware of the chain and reasons responsible for their misfortune? Could Sikhs hope anyone likely to come forward for their justice in India? Do Sikhs always to remain sandwich between Centre power and opposition in India? Has international community any plan to attend such leaderless people in the World? Cry for justice- Are Sikhs capable to get solved the questions? Submission by Balbir Singh Sooch, Advocate, Ludhiana- July 31, 2008-News- Trust Vote-
SAD proposed walk-out, Advani overruled it. Had the BJP leadership acted on the advice of senior SAD leaders and walked out of the House shortly before voting on the confidence motion in Parliament on July 22, it would have saved itself and NDA partners from humiliation after the UPA victory. Sources said SAD MP and leader of the Parliamentary group of the party in the Lok Sabha Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa and SAD president and MP Sukhbir Singh Badal had approached BJP leader L.K. Advani after the issue of currency notes rocked the House. Both SAD leaders, the sources said, had told Advani that the NDA MPs should walk out from the House on the issue of bribing MPs and not take part in the voting on confidence motion. The sources said Dhindsa and Sukhbir had told Advani it appeared to be difficult to defeat the UPA on the floor of the House as almost all Muslim leaders, who were expected to oppose the Manmohan Singh government, had come to his support. Senior Muslim leaders from Jammu and Kashmir, including Omar Abdullah, whose speech made a significant impact in the House, had supported the UPA government. And same was done by some other Muslim MPs. The NDA and the Left-led front was banking on Muslim MPs because they had a feeling that Muslim MPs could vote against the UPA government owing to the factoring in of America in the nuclear deal. However, it did not happen. “If Advani had acted on the advice of SAD leaders, the NDA would have saved itself from the demoralisation it faced after failing to remove the UPA government,” said a senior Akali leader. Advani rejected the suggestion given by SAD MPs and told them that all NDA constituents should stay in the House to vote against the Manmohan government. Seven SAD MPs voted against the UPA as Advani and Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal had asked them to so.
It is great loss not only for ishmeet’s family but for whole nation. i really feel sad.

we miss u ishmeet. from pakistan
when i read the news yesterday i felt these guys must be joking!! though i was never a regular at VOI but whenever i watched this simple boy i was touched..a simpilicity..a gentle soul..a perfect angel..his voice held purity of water…which could take any form! since yesterday i have been glued to TV and i still dont understand how can this happen? a gentleman mentions it was a private pool….but when authorities knew he could not swim….why did they even allow him near it??
whatever the cause may be a young boy life gone and he has left his family in shambles….and a person like me who has never met him or knew him shattered with this death.
when someone told me a trite phrase that maybe God needs good people!!!……….I asked them one thing……IN TODAY’S WORLD WITH SO MUCH PAIN AND STRIFE IN OUR LIFE IT IS WE WHO NEED GOOD PEOPLE ON THIS EARTH TO MAKE US RETAIN FAITH IN LIFE AND GOD!!
May god bless his family in this hour!!!
Ishmeet’s death has been a big blow. People have created his profile on PeopleForever.org. Please go there and contribute to making a legend. Please rate him highly.

Its very much shocking new for me and my family, because we have seen his shows on Star Voice of India and for us as a Pakistani TV channels are the only way to see India’s people. His death in very young age is unbeleiveable. May God give rest to his soul and give patience to his family as he is onle son. He will remain in our prayers and memories because his innocent personality is unforgetable. We love his voice and his cute smile. Again its a very hard news but no one can change the reallities of life. He is really unforgetable and we’ll miss him so much.
I received a message yesterday when i read i felt my friend is kidding!! i was never a regular at VOI but i watched only ishmit singh’s show.I found him a gentle and simple.He was ANGLE.His voice was so pure.Here in Canada eventhough we are far but we are shattered with this news.This is unbelievable. How can this happen?
We have a great loss.He was Little and beloved PRINCE of Sikh people.He was our SHAN our PRIDE.We are so proud of him.He gave a new horizon to our Sikh community. Sikh community has suffered a huge loss! Ishmeet Singh was a gem of our community.He has shown a new way to our young men to succeed in life without compromising their values and traditions under any pressure whatsoever. May be waheguru has sent him to complete this mission only.We have no words to explain our grief.We pray to waheguru to give strength to his parents to face this great loss.He will live FOREVER in our hearts.

ISHMEET YOU ARE PERPETUAL,
YOUR NAME IS PERPATUAL,
YOUR VOICE IS PERPETUAL
i have no words to express
Where were Ishmeet’s friends at the funeral?’ The destructive jealousy factor might be one of the reasons of the planned and created circumstances leading to the death of Ishmeet Singh can not be ruled out so lightly. We should not forget that an innocent child could be used in such planned and created circumstances, knowing very well that so and so would surely behave in the fashion under the circumstances which are always meant for his death and so on under the different similar cases of conspiracy. Moreover, the colleagues of Ishmeet in the interview on the day were looking suspicious and tutored judging by their body language, face culture and they only said in the interview whatever they might be tutored to say legally. Mika rightly said, “Only Abhijeet dada and Hans Raj Hans were present at the funeral. Where were Ishmeet’s friends and colleagues from various shows? Was the absence of friends and colleagues only to avoid the exposure of as to what extent the destructive jealousy factor obviously running against Ishmeet Singh for causing his death used for interview in the manner as a cover up or only their absence for the security reasons would be the pet reply suiting under the circumstances? Mika’s query is not without substance as he understands fully the dangerous aspect of destructive jealousy factor in music industry as well. The independent high level inquiry would be the only answer to set all speculation in right perspective at least in order to take preventive measures for the safety of the future blossoming stars of any field like him.

TU TA TUR GYA DAILSE DE KE…PER SADA JAG TO ISHMEET MUK GYA ..ishmeet chahe ti ajj sade to door chala gya pr sade dil wch hameshaa rahenga,i cnt belive ishmeet tu sade wch nai reha bt teria yaadan hamesha sade wch rehngia,parmatama tere parents nu guru de bahne wch rehan di takat bakshe,
i can’t believe ishmeet is no more, this not possible that he died in swimmimg pool even he can’t swimm its still not possible. i am sure some one hit his head then pushed him in to swimmingpool coz they found mars on his boddy this is clearly murder case i am sure there’s security camras in the hotel so they should check them. if some one killed ishmeet then i hope that person looses every thing he;s got. i normally never put bad wish upon any one but am very very angry and up set
I was shocked when I heard it for the first time.I couldn’t believe but when I saw that on television I couldn’t stopped my tears to come out.
we will miss u ishmeet ……… u was my ur and u will be my favourite singer forever…..
