Dr. Ganda Singh And Other Indian Troops in Iraq, 1920 (by courtesy of www.theindianarmythroughages.com ).
Dr. Ganda ingh alias Basre Wala Fauji, in Basra, 1920.
My Meeting With Dr. Ganda Singh is Preāarranged by Almighty God.
In the begining of 1920, Dr .Ganda Singh and others were to send for Basra.They were given field training, for this, some tents were erected on the south side of Dholan Hathar, near Kanganpur village on the bank of Sutlej. Dr. Ganda Singh and some other military men came to the vallage of Dholan Hathar( Lahore district).They happend to meet my father, Sirdar Partap Singh, and asked about the house of the village sarpanch or namberdar.My father told them that both the sarpanch and namberdar had gone to Tehsil Chunia(then Lahore District, now Kasoor district).On being asked again and again by my father, Dr Ganda Singh told to arrange some quantity of Milk in the morning and evening for a week for 33 soldiers.Please not that, in the peace time a batch of 33 persons is given the training.My Father assured them the supply of the required quantity of milk.On the completion of the training camp, Dr.Ganda Singh offered to give money. But my father refused to take the money, but asked them to pray to Almighty God. They did the prayer before God. Because the service of the people, is the service to God.I was born 38 years from this incident.Dr. Sahib and others went to Basra and Iraq.
Again the meeting with Dr. Ganda Singh was purely coincidential.It was 1967. when I was just nine year old, that I went to Rajindra Hospital to see my ailing sister.My father was already there.There was a Press-confrence on the health bullitin of Professor Sahib Singh Ji, who was admitted to Rajindra Hospital for Prakinson.My father recognised Dr. Ganda Singh, and wondered ! My worthy father asked---Are you "The Fauji Of Basra?" He introduced me, and Dr. Ganda Singh, if I remember properly,put his hand on my head and hugged me.
My next meeting with Dr. Ganda Singh was also a mere coincidence in 1980. I went to Govt. Mahindra College, Patiala to meet the worthy librarian Sukhdev Singh Sekhon.In the library, I happened to meet Dr. Ganda Singh totally sad. I asked the reason of his sadness.He told me that both Bhai Gurdas Ji and Sujan Rai Bhandari had confirmed Satguru's visit to almost the whole world. Dr. Ganda Singh was of the firm view that it is next to impossible for Almighty Satguru to sit one year in Mecca, as claimed by some primary historians.Dr. Ganda Singh was about 80 years old at that time. It was impossible to search in that direction.He ordered me to answer the 18 questions from the world history, which are faced by the Panth. He and Sukhdev Singh Sekhon did the ardas for me before Almighty Satguru to enable me to find out the references of His world tour.My mother had already allotted me to find out the truth.After almost 32 years, I have been able to get the grace of my Satguru and Panth. From the history I am finding the Truth.Satguru Nanak Sahib and Bhai Sahib Mardana Ji, travelled almost the whole world to release the Slave and He became the forerunner of the abolishment of human Slave-Trading which was spreading like an epidemic.Portugal and Rome tried to keep secret the history of Almighty Satguru, keeping in view "Bull Diversas" of the Pope Nicholas-V, 0n June 14, 1452.Almighty Satguru has described this in a Holy Salok of Raag Malhar." Harna Bajan Te Sikdaran Ehna Parhia Nao(Slave Logo)----. I am indebted to Dr. Ganda Singh Ji, who me guided me properly.Dr. Ganda Singh and Sirdar Karam Singh Historian are no more, but I congratulate the doyen of Sikh History and National Professor of Sikh Studies, Dr. Harjinder Singh Dalgeer.
Always dedicated to Guru-Panth,
