Sardarjee Baarah Baj Gaye !

During 17th century, when Hindustan was ruled by Mughals, all the Hindu people were humiliated and were treated like animals. Mughals treated the Hindu women as their own property and used them on their tunes and whims. They forced all Hindus to accept Islam and even used to kill the people if they refused to accept.

At that time, Nadir Shah raided Delhi in the year 1739, looted and plundered Hindustan and was carrying lot of Hindustani treasures and nearly 2200 Hindu women along with him. The news spread like a forest fire and was heard by Sardar Jassa Singh who was the Commander of the Sikh army at that time. He decided to attack Nadir Shah’s Kafila at midnight. He did so, and rescued all the Hindu women and they were safely sent to their homes.

It didn’t happen only once but thereafter whenever any Abdaalis or Iranis attacked and looted Hindustan and were trying to steal the treasures and the Hindu women along with them for selling them in the Abdal markets, the Sikh army although fewer in numbers but very brave hearted, attacked them at midnight, 12 O’clock, and rescued the women, the real treasures of men.

After that time, whenever there occurred a similar incidence, people started to contact the Sikh army for their help and Sikhs used to attack the raiders at Midnight, 12 O’clock. It continued and became a known fact that at midnight, nearly at 12 O’clock, it is very difficult to fight against Sikhs as the Sikhs get some Divine Power to save the Religion, the Nation the Women and the Humanity. Nobody can fight and win against them at midnight; this continues till now.

Nowadays, some “self acclaimed smart people” and some Sikh enemies who are afraid of Sikhs have spread these rumours that at 12 O’clock, the Sikhs go out of their senses. I, so wish that people will think before they speak.
