Tarn Taran, Punjab: In a tribute to the courage and sacrifice of Sikh women during the Sikh freedom movement of the 1980s and 1990s, a groundbreaking book titled “Kaurnama: Kharkoo Sangharsh Dian Shaheed Bibian Dee Gatha” was unveiled yesterday during a solemn Shaheedi Samgam at Village Panjwar.
Authored by Baljinder Singh Kotbhara, under the mentorship of Panth Sewak and prominent figure of the Sikh freedom movement, Bhai Daljit Singh, “Kaurnama” stands as the first comprehensive documentation of the extraordinary saga of Shaheed Sikh women who laid down their lives for the cause of freedom. This monumental work was the brainchild of the late Shaheed Bhai Paramjit Singh Panjwar, who was assassinated in exile in Lahore, Pakistan, on May 6, 2023.
