My grandfather was born in Rawalpindi in November 1932 after partition we came to Bombay. There is an neighborhood in Mumbai called " Pothohar Nagar" were many Rawalpindi refugees got settled post partition.
Wish u all the best from Rawalpindi.
Best of luck
I think you guys call yourself Pothwari/ Pothohari?
Is this neighborhood where Gurdwara Dhan Pothohar is
@@okee7 yup in khar Bandra, " Pothohar" is basically an pleatu range ranging from Rawalpindi, Punjab Pakistan to Pakistan occupied j& k & all the way to LOC
Little these Sikhs of Bagh Sardaran knew, College Road and Bhabra Bazar knew that they will have to leave this city of theirs after 15 years. My heart goes out to these who enriched the city through their culture, faith and economic activities.
None of them would have even thought in their dream that they will be forced out of their own city / country after 15 years . Very painful and unfortunate event of history .😢
So many Sikhs in Rawalpindi... amazing...
They had to leave rawalpindi in 1947
It was headquarter of nirankari mission as well
so what?

Look at that amazing footage! Rare find indeed. You can see how much the Sikh style of dress has changed, the Sardar ji at 1:00 performing Gatka, you can see how large the turbans/pagris were, turla/cloth hanging from the sides of turbans and very loosely tied, white/offwhite/beige Kurta Chadra/pajamas. Now the Sikh turbans are mostly of the Taksali Dhumalla or Gol Dastaar style and majority of amritdharis wear the blue or orange colors.
Destruction led by UK and US was 15 years away. Miss you Rawalpindi. Think of you in Chhole and Lassi.
@@nitinnitro we dont claim you ours ....
You are Indians totally different from us okayy 😡😡😡🇮🇳..
That destruction was orchestrated by the all India muslim league.
This is gold.
1941 Population Census
Muslim: 628,193 80%
Hindu: 82,478 10.5%
Sikh: 64,127 8.17%
Christian: 4,212 0.54%
Other: 6,221 0.79%
Even though Hindus and Sikhs were minorities in the region, they owned majority of the businesses and industries, sad that a few years after this footage was filmed all these people had to leave their homes and start all over again. In 1947 when Jinnah and the Muslim League called for "direct action", the Muslims launched attacks on the Hindus and Sikhs, people were murdered, brutally beaten, rape, kidnapped and looted, close to 7,000 had lost their lives. Very tragic chapter in history.
Any body knew which place in Rawalpindi this video
And to think this city has a bustling Hindu and Sikh populace once...and then 'Rape of Rawalpindi' happened.
Yes, the Rawalpindi riots were started by the Muslims in March 1947 and was the second big communal riot after Jinnah's Direct Action call in 1946 which caused the Calcutta riots. Muslim League used riots to butcher Sikhs & Hindus before independence to further their cause of two nation theory
@@okee7Many don't know the fact that riots/ Genocide in west Pakistan first erupted in Hazara district of North west frontier province even before Rawalpindi in 1946 . My maternal grandparents hailed from there prior to partition & post partition the landed up in GTB Nagar ( Formerly called Punjabi Refugee camp), infact this refugee camp was dedicated to frontier refugees only
@@hr5581 I'm sure there may have been riots before Rawalpindi especially in remote areas of NWFP where it may have not even been documented. But the Rawalpindi riots and the scale in which even Master Tara Singh's whole family was butchered was the catalyst that spread hatred all though out India. The Muslim League's plan to achieve Pakistan was through this method of hate & division
what did we learn from history
@@hr5581 can you please name the area of Hazara region where your maternal grandfather belonged to? because i am also from Hazara region and would like to know more about Hindu and Sikh genocide at the hand of muslims in Hazara region?
By the way i miss Hindus and Sikhs very much
Is there a movie of Dera Ghazi Khan?
please upload ganganagar, rajasthan video.
Please post about JODHPUR rajasthan aka marwad of that time
keep doing the good work
Punjab vand geya😢😢😭😭
So many changes have come to the dress Sikhs wear. These days Sikhs living in Punjab, India have completely different dress. They don't wear turla on the turban and salwar anymore. Ninty percent Sikhs living in western countries are clean shaven. The customs of any community change with the time and place.
They wore Muslim style clothing then I guess
Not only Sikh at last muslims Praying their namaz
Just amazing
All problems this ☪️ondom 🕋 Box
100 saal me kya se kya hogaya yaar 😢
Before partition sikhs and Hindues were in majority in Rawalpindi
What about current rawalpindi ?
@@shaktiprajapati8643Muslims
and you should know sikh and hindu were never native to Rawalpindi
I am from Rawalpindi. Rawalpindi still has a vast sikh heritage. Sikhs were in majority in Old Rawalpindi. Alas they left their own city by the blunder of Master Tara Singh. We miss Sardars in pindi. Wishing all the best for Sardars of Rawalpindi
In 1941 Census, Rawalpindi city had 34% Hindus, 17% Sikhs, 44% Muslims and 02% Christians.
Hindus and Sikhs were together in majority in Rawalpindi city
Blunder of Master Tara Singh?!?! Maybe you need to read history more intently. Try listening to your own Pakistanis like Professor Ishtiaq Ahmed and this young dude having is channel @historysheeter1947
Only A thousand are left today who knows .......
Where is 23% of minorities community of hindus, Sikhs gone ,today only less than 2% exist treated as second class citizens,that's why pakistan is facing its karma . Fanatic nation will face more in future as what they had done in past
Blunder of Jinnah my brother.
Gandhi,Nehru aur Jinah ne Punjab ke 10lakh log Marva diye 😢 tbah kr diya punjab ko
I think this is Raja Bazara and Dengi khoi jamia masjid.
🙏✊🖖🙏
Lahore, Rawalpindi, Sialkot, Faislabad (Llyalpur) all cities belonged to India and especially Sikhs while Sindh belonged to Hindu India - All what Nehru's the snake handed over to Pakistan.
I am from Pakistan,I am happy to live in Sikh empire 😊
All these were muslim majority cities and support centres of the partition violence. Nehru had no option after rawalpindi riots
are these Lindus in the comments going to ignore the fact that the Sikh presence in the Pothohar Region does not predate the 19th century before Ranjit Singh's invasion? oh right yeah I forgot it doesn't suit their narrative
and will you ignore the fact that before muslim rule the land was a dharmic land? or do you think islam was always there.
@@Mirza7385 are you gonna ignore the fact that Muslims are not native to Rawalpindi in the first place?
What right those colonial criminals got to divide India into two parts ?
@@sathishkumarkanaparthy1569 which India ???
We are not Indians
Thanks to UK for dividing us forever ❤
Apna ghar chhodne me Hindu Sikkhon ki bahaduri ?
Chup bhaeeye bhenchod, tujhe kya pata. Jin par biti, unse puchh, madarchod brahman.
Angrejon ka kiya tha partition, US ka paisa laga tha hathyaron par jo Indian muslims ko diye gaye.
Tere pure khandaan ko jab tere samne kaata jayega aur maa bheno ke sth zabardasti ki jayegi, tab tu wha baithke Tali bajayega na gawar. H@rami suar ke l¥de.
