Gurdwara: Refuge of the Homeless
Posted by Jodha in Pakistan on 06 2nd, 2009 | no responses
The Sikh Gurdwara is our community center. It is where we turn in times of fear (many Sikhs rushed to the Gurdwara after 9/11); it is where we turn in times of defense (the Battle Of Amritsar in June 1984); it is where we turn in times of crisis.
Even some 550 years later the House of Nanak provides refuge to all. As the world turns towards Pakistan and the military actions in the Swat Valley, I post this video from Al-Jazeera to remember the Sikhs in Pakistan and all that are facing dire conditions due to the turmoil.
