DRAG THAT BITCH

Charanpreet Singh Lall is set to become the first soldier to wear a turban during the Trooping the Colour parade for the Queen’s birthday. (x)

“For myself, being the first turban-wearing Sikh to troop the colour and to be part of the escort it is a really high honour for myself, and hopefully for everyone else as well. My mum was crying on the day I passed out so I wonder what is going to happen to her when she sees me in this.”

“This mesmerising portrait shows a prodigiously armed Nihang warrior (Serving in the Nizam of Hyderabad’s irregular Sikh army, 1865). In his right hand he holds a khanda sword, and in his left a ball and chain flail, used in close combat to ensnare an opponent’s weapon, or to bring down horses and their riders. The all-steel chillanum dagger in his cummerbund is traditionally associated with southern India. He also wears a shield, a second sword and a pistol, the butt of which is visible under his left arm. His peculiarly tied battle-turban is fortified with razor-sharp steel quoits, miniature sword blades and steel chains.⠀ ⠀ His intense stare coupled with his curled-up moustache gives him a singular air of energy and vigour typical of the Akali-Nihangs. According to a contemporary British officer who met them in Hyderabad, these warriors were revered by the other Sikhs who served in their ranks: ‘It is only in the native states, at Hyderabad in the Deccan, for instance, where the Akalees in all their pristine fierceness and defiance of order are to be met with; and their wild figures when in the company with bands of their own countrymen who serve as soldiers, are always very remarkable.’” via KashiHouse .com⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #Sikh #Nihang #Singh #Kaur #Akali #Turban #Punjab #Sikhart https://ift.tt/2H70m6j

“I never told my children what was my job. I never wanted them to feel shame because of me. When my youngest daughter asked me what I did. I used to tell her hesitantly, I was a labourer. Before I went to home I used to take bathe in public toilet so they did not get any hint of the work I was doing. I wanted my daughters to send to school, to educate them. I wanted them to stand with dignity in front of people. I never wanted anyone look down at them like everyone looked down at me. People always humiliated me. I invested every penny of my earning for my daughters’ education. I never bought a new shirt, used the money instead for buying books for them. Respect, which is all I wanted them to earn for me. I was a cleaner. The day before the last date of my daughter’s college admission, I could not manage to get her admission fees. I could not work that day. I was sitting beside the rubbish, was trying hard to hide my tears. I was unable to work that day. All my coworkers were looking at me but no one came to speak. I was failed, heartbroken and I had no idea how to face my daughter who would ask me about the admission fees once I back to home. I am born poor. Nothing good can happen with a poor person that was my belief. After work all cleaners came to me, sat beside and asked if I considered them as brothers. Before I could answer they handed their one day income in my hand. When I was refusing everyone they confronted by saying, ‘We will starve today if needed but our daughter has to go to college.’ I cannot reply them. That day I did not take shower. That day I went to house like a cleaner. My daughter is going to finish her University very soon. Three of them do not let me to work anymore. She has a part time job and three of them do tuition. But often she took me to my working place. Feed all my coworkers along me. They will laugh and ask her why she feed them so often. My daughter told them, ‘All of you starve for me that day so I can become what I am today, pray for me that I can feed you all, every day.‘ Now a days I do not feel, I am a poor man. Whoever has such children, how he can be poor. ” - Idris
