How brave the Sikhs are! They just don't sing and dance but fight as well. This martial spirit induced in them by the great Guru Gobind Singhji runs in their blood, a constant current of fearless patriotism that inspires manhood in them to protect the sovereignty of India.
The sacrifice of the Sikhs is to be saluted. From reducing Mughal power at a terrible cost of martyrdom led by the family of the tenth Sikh Guru whose father Guru Tegh Bahadurji, mother, wife and four sons, all died followed by Guru Gobind Singhji himself, to Banda Bahadur avenging the deaths and overpowering the Mughals in the Sikh terrain, to establishing the vast Sikh kingdom in the northwest by Maharaja Ranjit Singh, to forming a fifth of the Indian Armed Forces where a legion have lost their lives to defend India against her enemies, the Sikhs are temperamentally ever ready to fight for the motherland. Guru Gobind Singhji's leonine legacy in his immediate family was lost to the barbarism of Aurangzeb but lives on in his larger family in the Khālsā who have from generation to generation carried on this martial tradition to this day.
Punjab stands on the border of Pakistan and faces the treachery of the terrorist state day in and day out. Their resolve to repulse the enemy never weakens for it is in their DNA to live leonine and die game, if need be, ever inspired to sacrifice it all like their ten Gurus, with the last six beginning with Guru Arjan Devji having suffered Islamic brutality at its worst at the hands of the Mughal oppressors.
The Siks fight like lions. So do the Marathas inspired by Chhattrapati Shivaji Maharaj. When will we Bengalis once more be inspired by our great revolutionaries, who drove the British out and helped secure the country independence, learn to reduce our song and dance sensate culture and take up the valorous route of living and dying for the nation?
