Got this mail today:

We make fun of Sardars & the 12 o'clock fixation.
Here's the actual history about it.

I was at dadar station when my attention went towards
a Sikh youth standing near me; 6 feet tall, with a "kirpan" tucked
in his vest.
After a while, a fast local arrived, which was totally
packed. I did notwant to board the train. The Sikh youth tried to
alight but failed to do so.Just then a voice came from the back coach 'Sardarji
Barah Baj gaye'.The Sikh youth looked over and instead of showing any
anger, gave the person a smile.

He then turned to me and said, 'He was not teasing me
but was asking for my Help'. I asked him why. He told me that there
was a big history behind that.The Sikh youth narrated:

"During 17th Century, when Hindustan was ruled by
Mughals, the Hindu people were humiliated. Mughals were forcing all
Hindus to accept Islam and even used to kill the people who refused.

That time, our ninth Guru, Sri Guru Teg Bahadarji came
forward, in response to a request from some Kashmiri Pandits to
fight against these cruel activities. Guruji told the Mughal emperor that if he
could succeed in converting him to Islam, all the Hindus would accept
the same.But, if he failed, he should stop the atrocities. The
Mughal emperor happily agreed to that. But even after lot of torture
to Guruji and his followers, he failed to convert him to Islam. Guruji
along with his four followers were assassinated in Chandni Chowk. Thus Guruji
sacrificed his life for the protection of Hindu religion. Can anybody
lay down his
life and that too for the protection of other religion? This is the
reason he is still remembered as "Hind Ki Chaddar". None of the Hindus
came forward to lift his dead body, fearing that they would also be
assassinated.

Seeing this incident, our 10th Guruji, Sri Guru Gobind
Singhji (Son of Guru Teg Bahadarji) founder of Khalsa, made a
resolution that he would convert his followers to such fearless human
beings who would never hide
themselves in the face of terror.

At the start, the Sikhs were very few in number in their fight against
the Mughal emperors. Nadir Shah raided and looted Delhi in the year
1739
and was carrying away Hindustani treasures and nearly 2200 Hindu women along
with him. The news spread like fire and was heard by Sardar Jassa Singh, who
was the Commander of the Sikh army at that time. He decided to attack Nadir
Shah's Kafila on the same midnight. He did so and rescued all the Hindu
women and they were safely sent to their homes.

This didn't happen once but thereafter whenever any Abdaalis or Iranis
attacked and looted Hindustan and tried to carry the treasures and
Hindu women along to sell in Abdal markets, the small but
brave-hearted Sikh army attacked them at midnight, 12 O'clock and
rescued the women.

After that, whenever similar incidents occurred, people started to ask
the Sikh army for their help and Sikhs used to attack the raiders at
Midnight, 12 O'clock. The Cry of Attack would be "Barah baj gaye"

Nowadays, "smart people" and some Sikh enemies, have spread this rumour
that at 12 O'clock , the Sikhs go out of their senses.This historic
fact was the reason which made me smile at that person as I thought
that his Mother or Sister would be in trouble and wants my help and
was reminding me by saying off 'Sardarji Barah Baj Gaye'."

Plz do forward this mail to all your friends so they can know this
part about Sikh history.

Its also an appeal PLEASE dont make fun of RELIGIONS as every religion
is as pure & true as yours.
