How can we deal with the two extreme emotions encompassing the 1984 Ghallughara (anti-Sikh pogroms) and Bandi Chor Divas (Freedom Day), within the same week? Let us turn to the Guru to reflect and respond. Harinder Singh takes us on his journey from darkness to light in a six and a half minute video produced by Sikh Research Institute (SikhRI) entitled "Realizing Freedom." Darkness (ignorance) feeds hatred and revenge. Light (wisdom) demands love and justice. Let us light more than symbolic candles today. SikhRI continues to do this worldwide; can you help us light the fire in the gut? SikhRI is a nonprofit, mission driven organization dedicated to progress as individuals and communities through education. Our workshops, presentations and retreats have directly touched the lives of more than 320,000 people in the eight years since we were founded. Additionally, our work reaches out to tens of thousands more through appearances on television, radio and our presence online and in print.

The Sikh Research Institute recognizes its ethical responsibility to promptly correct any factual small or large errors. Please get in touch with us via email to request a correction if you have identified a mistake.
