جنم استھان ماتا صاحب کور  

ماتا صاحب کور، سکھوں کے دسویں گرو، گرو گوبند سنگھ جی کی پیروکار تھی، 1681 میں روہتاس، جہلم میں پیدا ہوئیں۔ اس کے والدین، ماتا جسدیوی جی اور بھائی راما جی گرو گوبند سنگھ جی کے پرجوش عقیدت مند تھے۔ گرو جی کے لیے اس کے والدین کی عقیدت نے اسے بہت متاثر کیا اور اس نے بھی اپنی پوری زندگی گرو گوبند سنگھ جی کی خدمت میں وقف کرنے کا فیصلہ کیا۔ ۔ اپنی چھوٹی عمر میں، اس نے خود کو گرو گوبند سنگھ جی کے لیے وقف کر دیا۔ ۔" گرو گوبند سنگھ جی نے اسے خالصہ کی ماں کا منفرد خطاب دے کر برکت دی۔ ماتا صاحب کور جی نے ساری زندگی گروجی کا ساتھ دیا، یہاں تک کہ لڑائیوں کے دوران، ہر ممکن طریقے سے ان کی خدمت کی۔ آنند پور صاحب کی لڑائی کے دوران، قلعہ کیش گڑھ کے محاصرے کے دوران ماتا صاحب کور جی گروجی کے مقدس خاندان سے الگ ہوگئیں جہاں ماتا سندر کور جی کے ساتھ انہیں حفاظت کے لیے سری دمدما صاحب لے جایا گیا۔ وہاں سے، ماتا صاحب کور جی گرو گوبند سنگھ جی کے ساتھ دہلی اور پھر ناندیڑ گئیں۔ ناندیڑ میں ایک شاندار گرودوارہ اس کے قیام کی یاد کو یاد کرتا ہے۔ یہ ناندیڑ میں ہی تھا کہ گرو گوبند سنگھ جی نے ماتا صاحب کور جی کو اپنے آسمانی ٹھکانے کے لیے زمین چھوڑنے کے وقت کی اطلاع دی اور انھیں حکم دیا کہ وہ ماتا سندر کور جی کے ساتھ دہلی روانہ ہو جائیں۔ گروجی نے ماتا صاحب کور جی کو پانچ ہتھیار اپنی یاد دہانی اور نشانی کے طور پر دیے۔ یہ ہتھیار آج دہلی کے گرودوارہ رکاب گنج میں رکھے گئے ہیں۔ ماتا صاحب کور جی نے ماتا سندر کور جی کے ساتھ دہلی میں رہائش اختیار کی اور خدمت کی زندگی بسر کی۔ ماتا جی نے کئی بار بحران کے دور میں سکھوں کی رہنمائی کی اور خالصہ کے نام سے آٹھ فرمان جاری کیے۔ 1747 میں 66 سال کی عمر میں ماتا صاحب کور کی زندگی کا اختتام ہوا ۔ ماتا جی کی تدفین کی جگہ ناندیڑ گوردوارہ بالا صاحب جی ہے۔ ماتا کور کا جنم استھان کی عمارت کو بہترین طریقہ سے دوبارہ بحال کیا گیا ہے جوکہ قلعہ روہتاس جہلم میں واقع ہے

Tomb of Asif Khan

The Tomb of Asif Khan (Urdu: مقبرہ آصف خان) is a 17th-century mausoleum located in Shahdara Bagh, in the city of Lahore, Punjab. It was built for the Mughal statesman Mirza Abul Hassan Jah, who was titled Asif Khan. Asif Khan was brother of Nur Jahan, and brother-in-law to the Mughal Emperor Jahangir.Asif Khan's tomb is located adjacent to the Tomb of Jahangir, and near the Tomb of Nur Jahan. Asif Khan's tomb was built in a Central Asian architectural style, and stands in the centre of a Persian-style Charbagh garden.

Asif Khan was the brother of Empress Nur Jahan, and father of Arjumand Bano Begum, who became the consort of Shah Jahan  under the name Mumtaz Mahal. In 1636, he was elevated as Khan-e-Khana and commander-in-chief and a year later became the governor of Lahore. Asif Khan died on 12 June 1641 in a battle against the forces of rebel Raja Jagat Singh. His tomb was commissioned to be built in the Shahdara Bagh tomb complex in Lahore by Shah Jahan

 

Jain Temple Anarkali Lahore

The Jain Mandir is a Jain temple located on Lytton Road in Old Anarkali, Lahore.While its exact construction date remains uncertain, it is believed to have been erected in the late 1930s or early 1940s. According to Iqbal Qaiser, a Punjabi author, it was constructed by a woman in 1940.

Following the creation of Pakistan in 1947, the temple underwent a period of neglect. Significant damage was inflicted in 1992 in the wake of the Babri Masjid demolition in Ayodhya.Due to prevailing misconceptions linking Jainism with Hinduism, the Jain Mandir in Lahore was targeted. Despite its durable construction, the temple was substantially damaged over two days, with the aid of a crane facilitating the process.The remnants of its dome remained for roughly three decades.

In relation to the development of the Orange Line Metro Train (OLMT), concerns were raised about the temple's fate. By 2016, the remaining parts of the temple were enclosed by a wall, with some of the surrounding area allocated to the OLMT project.

In December 2021, the Supreme Court of Pakistan ordered the restoration of the Jain Mandir, in addition to a Hindu temple in Neela Gumbad. Restoration efforts included reinforcing the foundation, repositioning the original dome, updating infrastructure, and converting the nearby space for public use. The renovated temple, now standing at thirteen meters, is situated opposite the Anarkali station of the OLMT.

In June 2022, the Jain Mandir in Anarkali was reopened for religious practices

Kartar Singh Sarabha

Kartar Singh Sarabha (24 May 1896 — 16 November 1915) was an Indian revolutionary. He was 15-years old when he became a member of Ghadar Party; he then became a leading luminary member and started fighting for the independence movement. He was one of the most active members of the movement. In November 1915 at Central Jail, Lahore, he was executed for his role in the movement when he was 19 years old.

Kartar Singh was born to Mangal Singh Grewal and Sahib Kaur into a Jat Sikh family in Sarabha, a village near Ludhiana in Punjab. He was very young when his father died and his grandfather brought him up. After receiving his initial education in his village, Singh entered the Malwa Khalsa high school in Ludhiana; he studied there until 8th standard. He sailed to San Francisco in July 1912 to enroll at the University of California at Berkeley, but the evidence that he did study there varies. A historical note by Baba Jwala Singh mentions that when he went to Astoria, Oregon in December 1912, he found Kartar Singh working in a mill factory. The University does not have any record of Kartar Singh's enrollment.

His association with the Nalanda club of Indian students at Berkeley aroused his patriotic sentiments, and he felt agitated about the treatment that immigrants from India, especially manual workers, received in the United States.

Sohan Singh Bhakna, the founder of the Ghadar Party, inspired Singh to campaign against British colonial rule for the sake of an independent country. Sohan Singh Bhakna called Kartar Singh "Baba Gernal". He learnt from Americans how to shoot a gun, and how to make detonating devices. Kartar Singh also took lessons for flying aeroplanes. He frequently spoke with other Indians, many of whom supported colonial rule, on the need for India to become independent from British rule.

When the Ghadar party was founded in mid-1913 with Sohan Singh, a Sikh from Bhakna village in the Amritsar district, as president and Lala Hardyal as secretary, Kartar Singh stopped his university work, moved in with Lala Hardyal and became his helpmate in running the revolutionary newspaper Ghadar (revolt). He undertook the responsibility for printing of the Gurmukhi edition of the paper. He composed patriotic poetry for it and wrote articles.

On 15 July 1913, the Punjabi Indians of California assembled and formed the Ghadar Party (Revolution Party). The aim of the Ghadar Party was to get rid of British rule in India by means of an armed struggle. On 1 November 1913, the Ghadar Party started printing a paper named Ghadar, which was published in Punjabi, Hindi, Urdu, Bengali, Gujarati and Pushto languages. Kartar Singh was quite heavily involved in the publishing of that paper.

This paper was sent to Indians living in all countries throughout the world. Its purpose was to convince both Indians and the Indian diaspora to support the freedom movement.

Within a short time, the Ghadar Party became famous through The Ghadar. It drew Indians from all walks of life.

With the start of World War I in 1914, British India became thoroughly engrossed in the Allied war effort. Thinking it to be a good opportunity, the leaders of the Ghadar Party published the "Decision of Declaration of War" against the British in an issue of 'The Ghadar' dated 5 August 1914. Thousands of copies of the paper were distributed among army cantonments, villages and cities. Kartar Singh reached Calcutta via Colombo on board SS Salamin in October 1914: he accompanied two other Ghadar leaders, Satyen Sen and Vishnu Ganesh Pingle, along with a large number of Gadhar freedom fighters. With a letter of introduction from Jatin Mukherjee, the Jugantar leader, Singh and Pingle met Rash Behari Bose at Banaras to inform him that 20,000 more Ghadar members were expected very soon. A large number of leaders of the Ghadar Party were arrested by the government at the ports. In spite of these arrests, a meeting was held by members of the Ghadar Party at Ladhouwal near Ludhiana in which it was decided to commit robberies in the houses of the rich in meeting the requirements of finance for armed action. Two Ghadris, Waryam Singh and Bhai Ram Rakha, were killed in a bomb blast in one such raid.

After the arrival of Rash Behari Bose at Amritsar on 25 January 1915, it was decided in a meeting on 12 February that the uprising should be started on 21 February. It was planned that after capturing the cantonments of Mian Mir and Ferozepur, mutiny was to be engineered near Ambala and Delhi.

Kirpal Singh, a police informer in the ranks of the Ghadar Party, had a large number of members arrested on 19 February and informed the government of the planned revolt. The government disarmed the native soldiers and the revolt failed.

After the failure of the revolution, the members who had escaped arrest decided to leave India. Kartar, Harnam Singh Tundilat, Jagat Singh, and others were asked to go to Afghanistan and made a move towards that area. On 2 March 1915, he came back with two friends and went over to Chak No. 5 in Sargodha where there was a military stud and started propagating rebellion amongst the army men. Risaldar Ganda Singh had Kartar, Harnam Singh Tundilat, and Jagat Singh arrested from Chak No. 5, Lyallpur district.

All of these accused in the Conspiracy Case, for India's freedom who had worked long years and suffered privations and sacrificed everything that man runs after, were executed in the Lahore Central Jail on 17 November 1915. In the Court room, as also standing before the gallows the condemned men refused to accept their endeavour to be termed a 'conspiracy'. They contended that it was an open challenge to the foreigners who charged the patriots, those who were sacrificing everything for the freedom of their Motherland with the offence of sedition, of waging war against the King. Kartar was not at all sorry for what he had done; rather he felt proud for enjoying the privilege of throwing out the challenge at the face of a lot of usurpers. He was really sorry over the outcome of their efforts. He averred that every 'slave' had a right to revolt and it could never be a crime to rise in defence of the primary rights of the sons of the very soil. When he was being tried on the charge of sedition, he took the entire blame upon himself. The Judge was astounded to see such a young boy behaving in such a non-chalant manner. In view of his tender age, he advised the young revolutionary to modify his statement, but the result was the very opposite of what was desired by him. When asked to appeal he retorted,

"Why should I? If I had more lives than one, it would have been a great honour to me to sacrifice each of them for my country."

He was later sentenced to death and hanged in 1915. During the period of his detention in Lahore Central Jail, Kartar managed to get hold of some instruments with which he wanted to cut the iron-bars of his window and escape in company with some other revolutionaries. However, the jail authorities who had learnt about his designs well in time, seized the instruments from underneath an earthen pitcher in his room. At the time of his execution Kartar was hardly nineteen years old. But such was his courage that in the course of his detention he gained 14 pounds of fresh weight.
