Inspiring Punjab with the legacy of Jaswant Singh

Dear Donor,

We are days away from Sept. 6th, when in 1995, Shaheed Jaswant Singh Khalra would be abducted by the government machinery of Punjab to be disappeared forever - like the twenty-five thousand civilians he estimated to have been illegally killed and mass-creamted by the state in those dark years. 

It is heartening to know that the youth in Punjab is receiveing 'The Valiant / ਮਰਜੀਵੜਾ ' or  #JSKTheBook as we call it on social media, with much enthusiasm, learning about the life and legacy of our hero as well as about the 20th century Punjab's conditions that led to his ultimate sacrifice. And we have, You, to thank for it. 

Your donation has allowed us to print thousands of copies in Punjab, and to donate a good portion of them to libraries free of cost. We have also provided free and subdized copies to youth at the Farmers Protest.

Please read what a young lady from Bathinda, who read the book in the Giani Ditt Singh Library, has to say: 

"While narrating the life-story of Punjab's courageous warrior, Jaswant Singh Khalra, this book touches each fold of Punjab's history, capturing an ocean in a pitcher.
Any one longing to know Punjab's history, should start with this book. Any student of human rights and related discipline must read this book and know how this 'Valiant' set an example by giving his own life to protect the rights of others to live." - Rajwant Kaur Cheema 

"ਇਹ ਕਿਤਾਬ ਪੰਜਾਬ ਦੇ ਸੂਰਬੀਰ ਯੋਧੇ 'ਜਸਵੰਤ ਸਿੰਘ ਖਾਲੜਾ' ਦੀ ਜਿੰਦਗੀ ਨੂੰ ਬਿਆਨ ਕਰਦੀ ਹੋਈ, ਪੰਜਾਬ ਦੇ ਇਤਿਹਾਸ ਦੇ ਹਰ ਮੋੜ ਨੂੰ ਛੂਹਕੇ ਕੁੱਜੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਸਮੁੰਦਰ ਨੂੰ ਬੰਦ ਕਰਦੀ ਹੈ। ਪੰਜਾਬ ਦੇ ਇਤਿਹਾਸ ਨੂੰ ਪੜ੍ਹਨ ਦੇ ਹਰ ਇੱਕ ਚਾਹਵਾਨ ਨੂੰ ਸ਼ੁਰੂਆਤ ਇਸ ਕਿਤਾਬ ਤੋਂ ਕਰਨੀ ਚਾਹੀਦੀ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਮਨੁੱਖੀ ਅਧਿਕਾਰਾਂ ਵਰਗੇ ਵਿਸ਼ਿਆਂ ਦੇ ਵਿਦਿਆਰਥੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਇਹ ਕਿਤਾਬ ਲਾਜ਼ਮੀ ਪੜ੍ਹਨੀ ਚਾਹੀਦੀ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਕਿਸ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਇਸ ਯੋਧੇ ਨੇ ਮਨੁੱਖੀ ਅਧਿਕਾਰਾਂ ਦੀ ਰਾਖੀ ਕਰਦਿਆਂ ਆਪਣੀ ਜਾਨ ਵਾਰ ਕੇ ਇੱਕ ਵੱਖਰੀ ਮਿਸਾਲ ਕਾਇਮ ਕੀਤੀ।"
-ਰਾਜਵੰਤ ਕੌਰ ਚੀਮਾ
