Shaheed Bhai Paramjit Singh Pamma alias Baba Nand

Khalistan Liberation Army

 

‘’Farewell my friends, this love bond we break and I am leaving.

Any unfinished work left to do; I’ve left it for you now.

Those wishes we both shared I now leave behind for you.’’

 

These were probably the last words before the world of Shaheed Bhai Paramjit Singh Pamma alias Baba Nand, Chief of the Khalistan Liberation Army, when Bhai Paramjit Singh was arrested from the Gurdaspur railway station on 7th April 1991. Bhai Paramjit Singh and his wife (Bibi Kulwinder Kaur) were both going to Amritsar from Pathankot. This arrest was made jointly by the paramilitary forces and the Punjab Police due to the tip off of an informer. This arrest was the last arrest of Bhai Paramjit Singh, during which the Punjab Police tortured him for two days on April 7 and 8, and finally on 9th April 1991, he was killed in a fake encounter. It must be noted that he was arrested many times by the Punjab Police before this.

 

Shaheed Bhai Paramjit Singh Pamma alias Baba Nand was born on 18th April 1957 to the blessed womb of mother Mata Savinder Kaur and father Jathedar Sardar Jaswant Singh’s home in the village of Tuggalwal, a very famous village in Riarki area of district Gurdaspur, which is located on Sri Hargobind Road from Gurdaspur and is about 27 kilometres away from Gurdaspur. Bhai Joga Singh, who is considered to be the pillar of Kavishri, a very great and renowned figure of the Sikh Panth, was also born in this village. Bhai Paramjit Singh was second among his three siblings. Big brother Bhai Kuldeep Singh and a younger sister Bibi Surjit Kaur.

 

He studied up to the tenth standard in SKD Khalsa High School and went on to graduate from S.N. College in Qadian. He was one of the brilliant students during his school and college days. While Bhai Paramjit Singh was very smart in studies, he also had a special interest in sports, especially in Kabaddi and Hockey. But out of these two, Bhai Paramjit Singh used to prefer Kabaddi more. He was a renowned kabaddi player of the area. Wherever there was a Kabaddi match or tournament in the area, because of Bhai Paramjit Singh’s excellence in the sport, his team would win every time. At times, the opposing team would even go so mad that they even tried to physically harm Bhai Paramjit Singh, which is completely against the rules of the game. In 1982, a kabaddi tournament was being held at the village of Rajada, upon seeing Bhai Paramjit Singh’s agility and a final step towards victory, a player from the opposition came from behind and hit Bhai Paramjit Singh on the head with a stick. But despite this, not caring about the injury, Bhai Paramjit Singh continued to play on and his team still went on to win the tournament. It is no understatement that he was well known and honoured for his talent in the entire district.

 

As far as his personal life is concerned, he was very religious, talented, cheerful, honest and a justice-loving person. He hated lies very much. Bhai Paramjit Singh was neither unjust to anyone nor was he cruel. Perhaps this was the reason, not only the people of Tuggalwal village, but also the people of the surrounding villages, would bring their domestic issues to him for resolutions rather than with the village Panchayat (village leadership). He would provide a logical solution where both parties were happy with the decision taken and they hugged each other and went back home happily. Bhai Paramjit Singh had a very sweet-talking and cheerful nature, his motto in life was: “Don’t oppress and don’t be oppressed.” Because according to Bhai Paramjit Singh ideology, tolerating oppression by being humble without any fault was a greater sin than committing oppression. Perhaps such ideology of Bhai Paramjit Singh is what drew him towards this fight for freedom and Khalistan. Right from the beginning, Bhai Paramjit Singh had a lot of sympathy for the people of the weaker sections or the poor. Bhai Paramjit Singh’s speech or manner of talking was so heart-warming that everyone was positively influenced by him.

 

Physically, Bhai Paramjit Singh was also very fit and agile. He was the owner of a tall young and healthy personality. While taking a bath, he would massage his body as if they were going to wrestle.

Perhaps this was the reason that Bhai Paramjit Singh body was super flexible that he was able to free himself from the strong hold of the police very easily. Once he went to Gurdaspur court for his court appearance date. When he was leaving the court with two or four of his companions, a policeman grabbed Bhai Paramjit Singh with the intention of arresting him. Bhai Paramjit Singh immediately threw him down from his clutches with such speed, by the time the police office got up and took care of himself, Bhai Paramjit Singh had run fast away.

 

Being a Kabaddi player, morning and evening exercise, lifting weights and running were his daily workouts. Apart from all this, he stayed away from any kind of drugs, even tea was not consumed. Bhai Paramjit Singh was very religious from the beginning. Inspired by his mother and grandmother who were devotees of prayer, going to the Gurdwara Sahib and doing Seva-Simran. In the same way, he attached great importance to Gurbani and Naam-Simran. If there were any religious events held in at the local Gurdwara or nearby villages, he would not only serve as the leader, but also inspire his other friends to do the same and attend. He considered the service of parents, the elderly and other needy to be the best and true service. Seeing someone in trouble or suffering, he could not stand it at all. It was in his nature to share in everyone’s pain and suffering without any caste discrimination or discrimination. Because according to Guru’s ideology, the service of the elderly and the needy was the real service and religion. But Bhai Paramjit Singh was very much a staunch opponent of Dera Babas (self-made Gurus and cults). Because in fact it was and still is that these cults are destroying the Sikh principles and the Sikh traditions in Punjab.

 

On the contrary, if someone was really poor or in need, Bhai Paramjit Singh would give him as much crop as he wanted. Sometimes they used to spend money on a poor or needy person to buy medicine etc. This was the reason why Bhai Paramjit Singh became so popular in the eyes of the villagers that for every good work or work done for public welfare, people used to set an example of Bhai Paramjit Singh, which earned him a lot of respect. But this brought about a lot of jealous people, who were quick to make remarks. “They claimed it is easy to give free crops and donations from money you have not earned, it is your parents that have earned this money and you are giving it away for free. Where is your hard-earned money?”

 

This did not sit well with him and made him determined to find a job for himself. After many attempts and searches, one of his friends told him of police recruiting in the area. He was successfully selected and was happy he was now earning his own money. He worked here for approximately one and a half years, when in June 1984 the Indian Government launched a fierce attack on Sri Harimandir Sahib. He could not tolerate all this, abandoning his duty Bhai Paramjit Singh went home. For the time he worked this job, he continued to help the poor and needy from his hard-earned money.

 

In the 80s, regular religious events used to be held by the Sangat in villages or towns in the area of ​​Riarki. Many renowned religious Ragis, Dhadis and other Kavishri groups would attend, as well as Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindranwale, the fourteenth head of the Damdami Taksal. Many other Singhs and Singhnia from various Jathebandis and activists from the All-India Sikh Students Federation would come and attend. The sangat of this area was considered very enthusiastic and very religious, who respected and appreciated these religious gatherings. Meanwhile, a large number of people from Tuggalwal village used to reach these events and were positively influenced and educated about the current Sikh struggle under the leadership of Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindranwale. Such enthusiasm was generated amongst the Sikh youth, as if some spiritual power entered them. At that time, it was only because of the inspiration of Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindranwale that everyone was prepared to take the nectar of Amrit and become baptised Gursikhs. The young and old had a zeal within them and would die for the sake of their religion, nation and Panth.

 

Even before joining the police and thereafter, whenever Bhai Paramjit Singh got time, he used to attend the religious events along with his family and friends. Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindranwale’s words had such a great impact on Bhai Paramjit Singh’s gentle mind, which changed his life’s thinking. Even as a police officer, he fully supported the movement. First from 19th July 1982 and then from 4th August 1982 a protest against the arrest of Bhai Amrik Singh and Baba Thara Singh was organised. And then a joint movement called the Dharam Yudh Morcha was organised by Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindranwala and the Shiromani Akali Dal in favour of resolution of Sri Anandpur Sahib. Bhai Paramjit Singh encouraged his family and friends to attend and give their voluntary arrests. Sant Ji preached that it is far better to be martyred fighting for the nation and religion than dying like insects, like sheep and goats, and this martyrdom is also given to a lucky person with great fortune. As luck would have it, Bhai Paramjit Singh wrote a poem in his diary while in jail, of which his wife, Bibi Kulwinder Kaur remembers only two-four lines. Those lines are as follows:

 

“Whoever sacrificed with laughter, his status would be very great.

And if you were cut joint by joint and did not utter a shriek in pain,

then most definitely his faith would be the most respected’’

 

Of course, Bhai Paramjit Singh worked in the police department and for the time he did, he did so with great honesty and diligence. But despite this, in some corner of his mind, there was a desire to do something for the Sikh nation. Perhaps it was due to this emotion that when the Indian army attacked Sri Darbar Sahib with such ferocity in June 1984 at the behest of the Indian Government, in view of such tragic and soul-shattering circumstances, it was only natural that the gentle mind of Bhai Paramjit Singh would be in shock. This incident caused such a deep injury to Bhai Paramjit Singh’s tender mind and in protest he left the job of the police department and returned home forever. Which was a great sacrifice made by him. Making such decisions is not a trivial matter for any human being.

 

There is no doubt that the ‘message in the name of the nation’ which was given by Sant Jarnail Singh ji Khalsa Bhindranwale had a great contribution behind such thinking and feelings of Bhai Paramjit Singh. Apart from being a soldier, the Saint possessed such an impressive and magnetic personality that anyone with a conscious conscience was automatically drawn to him, and then remained permanently attached to him. It was for this reason that the first important thing Bhai Paramjit Singh did after giving up the government job of the police department forever was to prepare to be baptised and become a Gursikh.

 

He became a threat to the police department. In view of these circumstances, the first case was registered by the police administration against Bhai Paramjit Singh. It was the murder of a Brahmin male named Sundari, a resident of Bharath-Mathola village, who worked at a grocery shop in the village itself. This village is also located on the Gurdaspur – Sri Hargobind Road, which is eight kilometres away from our Tuggalwal. Sundari had a lot of hatred towards the Sikhs, especially Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindranwale, and he used to spread poisonous and intolerable propaganda about Sikhs in general. On 6th June 1984, this sinner became so mad with joy on hearing about the attack on Sri Harmandir Sahib, that he invited the people of his community to his shop to celebrate and distributed Ladoo (Indian sweets). Because of this heinous act of his, he caused a rage among the Sikh youth and was on their hit list, becoming the target of their anger. Singhs can tolerate everything, but they can’t tolerate anything if someone spreads slander against their holy shrines and their general of the twentieth century, Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindranwale. The Jhujaru Singhs now began to keep an eye on this Sundari. Then came the day they served justice on him and sent him to the doors of hell.

 

This was the first murder case that Bhai Paramjit Singh charged with along with five other Singhs, but the police declared Bhai Paramjit Singh as the main ring leader. Perhaps this was the reason that when in central jail of Gurdaspur, some Jhujaru Singhs gave him the title of ‘Major General Sundari Kand’. At the end of most conversations, Bhai Paramjit Singh would naturally say ‘Nand Lau Bai’ (just enjoy it brother), this was probably the reason why he became to be known as ‘Baba Nand’. Now Bhai Paramjit Singh started making links with local Jhujaru Singhs and joining them in actions secretly while staying at home. From then on, any case or incident in the area, Bhai Paramjit Singh was charged with due to which the police repeatedly drove to Bhai Paramjit Singh’s house to arrest him, even though they had no proof or witnesses. Bhai Paramjit Singh was tortured a lot but not once did he ever announce the names of any of the other Jhujaru Singhs.

 

On many occasions even while in jail, the police filed various false cases against him and then took him out of the jail to interrogation centres on the pretext of police remand and subjected him to very bad and inhumane torture. Sometimes even the souls of the police personnel trembled on witnessing the atrocities happening on him, he escaped death many times. But blessed was this hero and very blessed was the mother who gave birth to this hero, Bhai Paramjit Singh happily accepted the oppression and torture inflicted by the police. Even the policemen themselves were surprised that because of this emotion of Bhai Paramjit Singh, they were often heard saying, “I don’t know what kind of clay this boy is made of…” Because as Bhai Paramjit Singh was being tortured, he became stronger spiritually. Passion to do something for the Khalsa Panth. Khalistan, was the main goal and dream of Bhai Paramjit Singh’s life.

 

Not only in the village of Tuggalwal, but in the entire area of ​​Riarki, Bhai Paramjit Singh’s bravery and impressive personality prevailed. Bhai Paramjit Singh respected people of all castes and religions without any discrimination and often said the same thing that a person who follows any religion can be wrong. It was in his nature to treat everyone with love and compassion. But if someone tried to do something wrong or abominable even by mistake, then in such a situation, he would warn them to stop doing these things. One such incident in the village was a woman who lived next to the police station and worked as a prostitute. Many villagers and family members were against this and requested Bhai Paramjit Singh to intervene and stop this. He attempted to write to this lady, but she did not adhere. Many warnings were given to this lady by letter and by word of mouth. But she exclaimed she would not change her ways and no one could make her leave her home. One day the lady and her daughter were caught entertaining a policeman in their home. The Jhujaru Singhs, including Bhai Paramjit Singh got hold of these three and took them into a field, where they were hung and shot. The locals knew the Jhujaru Singhs had taken care of these three, as all their jewellery and personal valuables were not removed.

 

Where there was a great influence of Bhai Paramjit Singh’s influential personality in the entire area of ​​Riarki, there were also discussions of Bhai Paramjit Singh’s justice-loving nature among the people. Bhai Paramjit Singh had great respect for all religions due to which all the Hindus, Kshatriyas, Brahmins etc. of the area also respected him very much. Even in Tuggalwal village, there was a Brahmin family living right next to his house, who ran a grocery store as well as a post office. Sometimes, when the police would raid Bhai Paramjit Singh’s house, they would ask the Brahmin family sitting in their shop whether they felt any danger or fear because of Bhai Paramjit Singh. They would reply and say they were not in any danger. On the contrary, that family considered Bhai Paramjit Singh as their shield.

 

In those days when the armed struggle was in full swing in Punjab, some wrong elements also joined to discredit the movement, whose aim was only to loot or extort money from Hindus and kill them. Causing the Hindu families to flee the villages and go to the cities. Amidst these circumstances, Bhai Paramjit Singh inspired not only the Hindu families of Tuggalwal village but all the Hindu families living in the entire area and also gave them the belief that until the last breath of his life, he would not let the hair of any of his Hindu brothers or sisters be touched.

 

Bibi Kulwinder Kaur explained how Bhai Paramjit Singh believed it was a great sin to spend even one rupee from the money of the organization for his personal selfishness. Whenever she would visit her husband in prison or when coming in to contact, she would always see his shirt pocket lined with wads of cash. Bhai Paramjit Singh would respond that this money was being spent on activities for the movement and for whenever the Jhujaru Singhs would need it. Bhai Paramjit Singh even told his wife that, “You should not open your hand to anyone after my martyrdom. Doing so is equivalent to selling the martyrdom of a Shaheed Singh.’’

If you desire to play this game of love with Me,

then step onto My Path with your head in hand.

When you place your feet on this Path,

give Me your head, and do not pay any attention to public opinion. ||20||

 

These verses of Gurbani had become so dominant in Bhai Paramjit Singh’s mind that he would recite these verses all the time. There was no fear of death in his mind. Even amidst immense torture, his fellow Jhujaru Singhs would advise him to leave the country or move to another state. But Bhai Paramjit Singh always refused and was not going to turn his back on the movement.

 

In the year 1986-87, when there was Surjit Barnala government in Punjab, at that time many such Singhs and Singhania were offered government jobs by the Barnala government who had served jails for the freedom movement struggle requiring them to become mainstream and all previous cases would be dismissed, if they agreed and joined. Bhai Paramjit Singh and his wife were also offered this but refused to take the offer. This was a scam and tactic by the Indian Government to deter and stifle them away from the movement. In those days when the armed movement was very prevalent, a manifesto was drawn up by various Jhujaru organizations, in which some new rules were proposed against some of the unnecessary and only ostentatious social evils going on in Punjab at that time. The government itself prepared some of its own trusted men and even many policemen to join the Jhujaru ranks under the name of Black Cats by becoming fake ‘Singhs’ to infiltrate and defame these Jhujarus.

 

During 1990-91, the armed movement was in full swing in Punjab and became active very quickly. Seeing this, the government’s axe of coercion also became somewhat sharper. Without any fault, Sikh youths of rising age were forcibly picked up from their homes, fake police encounters were made and they were martyred. The black cats sent, in the guise of Singhs, would report information about each and every activity of the Jhujarus to the administration within minutes, due to which the struggle took a heavy toll and many top Jhujaru Singhs were killed one by one.

 

Bhai Paramjit Singh was also a victim of this kind of government tout. Bhai Paramjit Singh did not even know until the end, that the thirst for his blood was a snake in his own bosom, which was waiting to bite him. There was a Brahmin from his home village of Tuggalwal, Bikramjit Kalia, who was called Bikar by all in the village. Bhai Paramjit Singh used to address him only as uncle. The uncle loved Bhai Paramjit Singh very much since childhood and he used to play with Bhai Paramjit Singh sitting on his lap, perhaps this was also one of the reasons that Bhai Paramjit Singh had immense faith in him but Bikar took advantage of this. He had won Bhai Paramjit Singh’s trust so much that he considered him as his right arm in his organizational work and one of his special confidants. He was aware of every activity and location. Of course, some people of the village had also explained to Bhai Paramjit Singh not to trust him too much.

 

Bikar had sold his conscience for the sake of money. He informed and got Bhai Paramjit Singh arrested. Bhai Paramjit Singh had to face immense torture and imprisonment, which turned into being made a martyr of Khalistan in a staged encounter by Punjab police. Bhai Paramjit Singh’s fellow Jhujaru Singhs served justice in their own Khalsa style once or twice, due to which Bikar became physically disabled.

 

Meeting Bibi Kulwinder Kaur

Whilst in Gurdaspur Central Jail, Bhai Paramjit Singh met Bibi Kulwinder Kaur was also a very well-known activist, a well-read and educated lady who would read newspapers daily to gain knowledge of current issues, especially relating to the freedom movement. Both were kept in the same jail but different sections due to gender. She had a particular passion in educating others on the oppression inflicted on the Sikh nation by the Indian government. Bibi Ji would attend many gatherings and give speeches to the congregation. The police did not have mercy on any Sikh regardless of age or gender. Bibi Kulwinder Kaur, too, was arrested and had to endure the walls of a prison. Many times, her family home was raided. Even her sister (Bibi Palwinder Kaur – Pinky) was arrested and spent much time in jail.

 

Bibi Kulwinder Kaur was fearless and always stood up for the cause. Her father supported her greatly and she was blessed to have such courage and foundation. Even when she was taunted by the police for carrying a Kirpan (religious sword). She responded, “No sir, I am not afraid at all, because this Sri Sahib I am wearing, which you people are calling a knife, in fact this is my courage, my strength, because of this. This is the unique identity of our nation in the whole world. It is a gift blessed by our father, which does not allow us to fall or waver in any situation.’’

 

Bibi Kulwinder Kaur was with her family who had come to visit her in jail and on the same day Bhai Paramjit Singh’s mother had also come to meet her son. His mother was very upset and Bibi Kulwinder Kaur being the loving person that she is motivated and comforted Bhai Paramjit Singh’s mother. From this day, Bhai Paramjit Singh felt much respect and love for Bibi Kulwinder Kaur. He approached her and had an open conversation that he was impressed with her activism as well as her love for Sikhi. He asked for her hand in marriage. Bibi Kulwinder Kaur was shocked at first and did not want to be having such an open conversation with a male. However, her father had allowed her to become an activist for the movement on the condition that she one day get married. Bibi Kulwinder Kaur had just wanted to dedicate her life to the freedom struggle and was not interested in marriage. But this match came as a blessing and if she were to marry anyone, she was proud it was also someone who was dedicated to the fight for Khalistan.

 

Families were consulted and all agreed to the match with great enthusiasm and happiness. It was decided that as soon as both were released from jail, they would arrange their Anand Karaj (Sikh wedding ceremony). Finally, on 3rd November 1985, Bhai Paramjit Singh was granted bail and the families fixed the date of marriage on 12th December 1985. Now even after marriage, Bibi Kulwinder Kaur used to get full opportunity to present her ideas in all kinds of religious programs in the area and outside the area. If there was a wedding or any other program in the village, then her name was definitely offered as one of the main speakers.

 

Bibi Kulwinder Kaur continued her activism by attending various religious gatherings and educating the masses with her influential speeches. Bhai Paramjit Singh fully supported her and together they dedicated themselves to contribute to the freedom struggle movement. But this dedication came with many sacrifices. After their marriage, they spent only 25 days together comfortably. Following this, they had to face multiple arrests and upheaval as they served for the freedom struggle. They were both arrested the night of 9th January 1985. Then it was continued court dates and prison visits and requests for bail. Bhai Paramjit Singh was never allowed back at the family home, because as soon as the police would catch wind of it, they would immediately surround the home.

 

In October 1989, Bhai Paramjit Singh went to Jammu for a mission and stayed along with his fellow Jhujaru Singhs in a rented house near an ashram. The locals were under the impression they were staying here due to their jobs. However, somehow the police came to know of them and raided their house at 6am. This was definitely the work of an informer. Bhai Sarwan Singh Goli and Bhai Paramjit Singh were the only ones in the house at the time. They quickly took their positions ready to retaliate. The police called for them to surrender, but the Jhujaru Singhs kept quiet. The police forcibly broke into the house and began shooting. Bhai Paramjit Singh was shot in the thigh but managed to jump from the third floor and escape.

 

Bhai Paramjit Singh and Bibi Kulwinder Kaur, both became fed up of the constant arrests. Bhai Paramjit Singh even stopped attending his court dates, as the police would always be there ready to arrest him. But he would cleverly escape and leave without the police knowing. Eventually, the police put a bounty on him for 50,000 Rupees. Whilst living underground, both were eager to be blessed with a child, so that their lineage would continue and the child would serve for the Khalsa Panth and continue their parent’s unfinished work. Bibi Kulwinder Kaur was blessed and became pregnant. They decided to visit Chheharta Sahib Amritsar for prayers and blessings. So, the next morning on 7th April 1991, around 5 am, they caught a train from Pathankot to Amritsar. Both had changed their appearance in such a manner that no one would recognise them. They also ensured they sat separately but in clear site of each other. Bhai Paramjit Singh took a bunk bed above.

However, as soon as the train reached Gurdaspur station the Punjab police and paramilitary were roaming the station in masses. They began searching the train and eventually made it to their coach. There was no where to escape and the police found Bhai Paramjit Singh and dragged him out of the train. Bhai Paramjit Singh had already made a pact with his wife that she would not react if either were to get arrested. So, she had to remain utterly quiet and watch her husband be taken away.

 

Bhai Paramjit Singh was taken to the interrogation centre in Batala. The next day on 9th April 1991, the Akali leader of Batala city late Sardar Balwant Singh Udhoke and Sardar Harbans Singh Ghodan, who was the LLA at that time tried to speak with the SSP to find out any information on Bhai Paramjit Singh’s whereabouts. The villagers had heard some police officers talking among themselves that Bhai Paramjit Singh was martyred at the village Bhopar Saidan on the Gurdaspur-Kalanaur Road and Bhai Paramjit Singh’s body was lying in Civil Hospital Gurdaspur. A family member and the village leader went to the hospital and identified the body, but were refused to take the body back to the family. The headline on the next day’s newspapers on 11th April 1991 was, “KLO chief the Paramjit Singh Pamma alias Baba Nand killed in a fierce battle with the police. According to SSP SK Goyal, an AK47 rifle, 2 magazines, 2 identity cards and 1 dairy was found on Paramjit Singh Pamma, who had been a police constable previously. During the June 1984 Operation Bluestar, he had left the police force, he had been arrested twice but released by the courts.” The fake police encounter was conducted by the police at village Bhopar Saidan on the Gurdaspur-Kalanaur

road.

 

AJIT NEWSPAPER

10TH APRIL 1991 (front page)

KLO LEADER DEAD: Journalist from Gurdaspur has reported that Khalistan Liberation Force leader, Bhai Paramjit Singh Pamma alias Baba Nand alias Hari Singh was surrounded by Punjab police and he swallowed a cyanide capsule and committed suicide. The senior from the areas police station, SSP SK Goyal told the reporters, they had raided a house in the Bhopar Saidan. The police team and BSF were met with heavy firing from inside the house. The police and BSF also returned fire in which Pamma was wounded and her finished himself by swallowing a capsule of cyanide. The encounter lasted roughly an hour. According to Goyal, Pamma was wanted for more than 50 murder cases and also had a reward on his head for 50 Lakh Rupees.

 

About two and a half months after Bhai Paramjit Singh’s martyrdom, a baby girl was born into their home, with the grace of God she was named Parambir Kaur, after her father’s name. Bibi Kulwinder Kaur faced much struggle to provide for her family. She worked as a teacher, a job anointed by the Shromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee. In the midst of relocation and then working a full-time job to support her family, this was now her priority and responsibility. Bibi Kulwinder Kaur no longer had the time to serve the freedom movement. Bhai Paramjit Singh’s father passed away shortly after his martyrdom, then his mother became unwell and was ill for many years. Bibi Parambir Kaur is now married and Bibi Kulwinder Kaur now lives on her own continues to write and educate others on the need for our own Sikh homeland Khalistan. The sacrifice and dedication from Bhai Paramjit Singh and Bibi Kulwinder Kaur were unmatched and the Khalsa Panth is forever indebted to them for their contribution.
