JAGDEESH SINGH -Contact Details & Brief Profile

This is me, jagdeesh singh, during the 700 year HOMECOMING anniversary of WILLIAM WALLACE, in Lanark September 2005.  

I have a passion for history, and great and inspiring deeds of past heroes, bravehearts and men and women of action, who have shaped history and made sacrifices to preserve what is good and overthrow what is bad  - governmental, imperial, social, economic, religious and more.
Marcus Garvey, famous black writer, said: "A person who does not know his history, is like a tree without roots." History doesn't just happen. It is made by unique spirits. History - told and untold - is the story of the unique few who dare to make a stand, and protect what they see as good and oppose what they see as a bad.

We have much to learn from history and its great figures - their efforts, their lives, their sacrifices. History inspires us and gives us appreciation of our present, and prepares and equips us for the future. There is no present without the past.


Alongwith many other activists, I am co-ordinating the next great Scottish-Sikh gathering to celebrate our common history and bravehearts, on Saturday 4th September 2010, 12 - 4pm, at the Smith Art Gallery & Museum, Stirling. We hope you will join us, and be inspired!
This is HARJINDER SINGH, pictured with his son, in the Lanark 2005 WILLIAM WALLACE HOMECOMING PARADE. Harjinder Singh is a prominent Gatka teacher and practitioner, who has dedicated his life to the promotion of the spiritual sword and weapon discipline known as 'gatka' or 'shashtar vidiya', pioneered in 17th century Sikh history. He leads the BABA DEEP SINGH GATKA AKHAARA (Birmingham), which performed the unique Sikh sword combat to a mesmorised Scottish crowd at the 700 year HOMECOMING memorial to William Wallace. The same AKHAARA will again make history in Stirling, when they perform again at the Braveheart event on Saturday 4th September 2010, 12 - 4pm. You can contact Harjinder Singh - 07813488168 | truthjustice8671@aol.com
