Kartarpur corridor was opened on 9 November 2019. It paved the way for the Sikh community to visit one of the most important religious shrines without a visa. There are approximately 150 million Sikhs around the world, out of which around 120 million are living in India. The other countries having the Sikh community are Afghanistan, Pakistan, UK, Canada, and USA. However, the origin of the Sikh religion in Punjab, which was divided into Indian Punjab and Pakistani Punjab in 1947 at the time of independence of the sub-continent from British rule. The partition of Punjab has divided many Sikh families between Pakistan and India. Due to political rivalry, among Pakistan and India, has adversely affected the Sikh community. Some of the family members have never met in the last 72 years and few of them have already expired already.
While Sikh, Muslims and other religions lived together for centuries, especially in Punjab, and enjoyed complete harmony as the language and cultures are identical. But after partition, in 1947, the rivalry between Pakistan and India kept them separated for 72 years. With the opening of this Corridor, the Sikhs community in India becomes the most beneficiary and they are grateful for the gesture of goodwill by Pakistan.
The Kartarpur Corridor connects between Pakistan and India, the Sikh shrines of Dera Baba Nanak Sahib (located in Punjab, India) and Gurdwara Darbar Sahib (in Punjab, Pakistan). The corridor is intended to allow religious devotees from India to visit the Gurdwara in Kartarpur, 4.7 kilometers from the Pakistan-India border, without a visa.
The Corridor was first proposed in early 1999 by the prime ministers of India and Pakistan, Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Nawaz Sharif, respectively, as part of the Delhi–Lahore Bus diplomacy. On 26 November 2018, the foundation stone was laid down on the Indian side and after two days, on 28 November 2018, the foundation stone on the Pakistani side was laid down by Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan. The corridor along with all its allied services and amenities was completed in a record time frame. The corridor was completed for the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev on 12 November 2019. As a special to mark the 550th birth anniversary, the Government of Pakistan has waved the fee amounting to US Dollars 20 for three days. It has created a huge good-will.
The corridor has not only connected the Sikh community on both sides of the border but also opened a new chapter of religious tourism in Pakistan. There are many other religious sites in Pakistan, which belongs to Hindus or Sikhs religion and may attract devotees and visitors in thousands of thousands in number. Kartarpur corridor is just a beginning, if it goes smoothly, many new sites will be open to Hindus and Sikhs as well.
This will also generate an opportunity for economic activities and enhance people to people contact. Promote harmony and understanding between the two hostile nations. In fact, Kartarpur Corridor is a message of Peace and Prosperity.
Pakistan is a peace-loving nation and a very responsible state. Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan is well matured, visionary leader. He said on this occasion “Pakistan believes that the road to the prosperity of the region and bright future of our coming generation lies in peace”, adding that “Pakistan is not only opening the border but also their hearts for the Sikh community”. The Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, compared the decision to go ahead with the corridor by the two countries to the fall of the Berlin Wall, saying that the project may help in easing tensions between the two countries.
Previously, pilgrims from India had to take a bus to Lahore to get to Kartarpur, which is 125 km journey although people on the Indian side of the border could physically see Gurdwara Darbar Sahib Kartarpur on the Pakistani side. An elevated observation platform had also been constructed on the Indian side, where people use binoculars to get a good view.
Indian Prime Minister Modi has thanked PM Imran Khan for his good-will gesture. It is hoped that India will reciprocate in the same manner and provide an opportunity to the People of Pakistan and Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan to thanks Indian Prime Minister Modi.

WHEN WILL THE SIKHS AWAKEN ? THEY ARE BY RACE AND DNA CLOSER TO PAKISTAN AND AFGHANISTAN – AND NOT BECAUSE NANAK GAINED SALVATION VIA MARDANA OR THAT NANAK’S CHOLA WAS ENGRAVED WITH KORANIC AYATS !
Did Nanak coin the word “Khalsa” ? How did it come about ? Sikhs were hoodwinked by the Bania/Brahmin verminage,to DEFEND HINDOO SO CALLED ATROCITIES by the Mughals (As the story goes)
If so, then why did Sikh Gurus die for the Brahmins and allow them to steal and forge sikh scriptures, as well as,place idols in the Takht and the Golden Tempke , besides their priests in the Temple ?
Is it because a bulk of Sikhs being Hindoo converts and resident in a Hindoo Nation failing to form their Nation – suffered from the Osmosis of the Hindoo and the Effect of Hindoo Transcendence
POSIT NO,1
This is what the Granth says about the HINDOO ELITE !
Sample the love for the Brahmins in Granth
You may stand and recite the Shaastras and the Vedas, O Siblings of Destiny, but these are just worldly actions. “Filth cannot be washed away by hypocrisy”, O Siblings of Destiny; the filth of corruption and sin, “is within you”. (Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Ang 635)
O Pandit, O religious scholar, “your filth shall not be erased”, even if you read the Vedas for four ages. (Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Ang 647)
The Pandits, the religious scholars, and the silent sages, reading and studying the Vedas, have grown weary. The Messenger of Death “hovers over their heads”; they are ruined by the deceit within themselves. ||7|| (Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Ang 1277)
Under what compulsions did the Sikh theologians and clergy get hoodwinked by the Brahmins ? And if so,does that explain the current state of the Sikhs (pre and post Bluestar) ?
POSIT NO.2
Y did the Khala wage war on the Mughals ? The Granth EXTOLS “ALLAH”
What is the significance iof the word Allah in the Granth ? Why does it appear more often than the aggregate of all Hindoo Gods ? Is it a Quasi Islamic faith minus halal and circumcision and funeral rites ?
But the Granth Sahib itelf says “Pray to Allah”, the word Allah comes more often, than Limpet Rama ! SO Y DID THE KHALSA WAGE WAR ON THE MUGHALS ? WHO MANIPULATED OR BEGUILED THE SIKG GENBERALS AND “GURUS” ? Is it so easy to beguile a Sikh ?
THE PROOF FROM THE GRANTH ! dindooohindoo
ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU:SIREE RAAG, FIRST MEHL, FIRST HOUSE, ASHTAPADEES:

POSIT NO.3
Y did Tegh Bahdaur say to Aurangzeb that he was a Hindoo ?
Tin te sun Siri Tegh Bahadur
Dharam nibaahan bikhe Bahadur Uttar bhaniyo, dharam hum Hindu
Atipriya ko kin karen nikandu Lok parlok ubhaya sukhani
Aan napahant yahi samani Mat mileen murakh mat loi
Ise tayage pramar soi Hindu dharam rakhe jag mahin
Tumre kare bin se it nahin
– Guru Tegh Bahadur’s reply to Aurangzeb’s ordering him to embrace Islam.
(In response, Shri Tegh Bahadur says, My religion is Hindu and how can I abandon what is so dear to me? This religion helps you in this world and that, and only a fool would abandon it. God himself is the protector of this religion and no one can destroy it.)
Did he say that he was a Hindoo ? Nanak never said so ! So then Y did Tegh Bahadur ? When Gobind Singh destroyed idols,temples and kings who prayed to idols – why did Tegh Bahadur stand up for the Brahmin/Bania – and SAY TO AURANGZEB,”THAT HE WAS A HINDOO” ?
That is the question !
Did Tegh Bahadur not know that Brahmins would USE his last words,to build their thesis that Sikhs are Hindoos – and so it is stated,in the Indian Constitution
THE INDIAN CONSTITUTION RECKONS SIKHS AS “HINDOOS”,in line with the words of Tegh Bahadur. This is also recorded by EU historians !
It is the Brahmin/Bania who partitioned Punjab,stole the waters of Punjab,poisoned the land of Punjab, planned and led Blue star ,completely corrupted the state of Punjab,placed idols in the Golden Temple and FLOODED the state of Punjab with DRUGS !
Y ?
It is simple ! The Brahmins/Bania/Pandits NEVER TRUSTED THE SIKHS – not even NANAK !They always saw the Sikhs and Sikhism, as a THREAT (as it is the ANTI-THESIS OF HINDOOISM) and so,they beguiled and manipulated the Sikhs,to fight against the Mughals – KNOWING THAT NEITHER SIDE WILL BACK DOWN.
This is called ROMAN ROULETTE – like the one played by Josephus,in the cave of Galilee !
Who conned the son of Nanak to be a Udaasi ? What are these semi naked Udaasis – if not a derivative of Aghoris and Jains ? When Nanak was under the influence of Mardana,his OWN SON was a UDAASI ?
How did that occur ?
Y are the Sikhs NOT USING THEIR CRANIUM ?
Blue star was planned by North Indian Brahmins and executed by SOUTH INDIAN BRAHMINS OF THE INDIAN ARMY
The genocide of Sikhs in Punjab – was planned by North Indian Brahmins and OVERSEEN BY A GOAN CATHOLIC IPS OFFICER AND A SIKH (KPS GILL)
See the Planning and the Contrast !
All the Sikh Gurus and their women and kids were killed – due to the SPYING AND INTEL INPUTS AND LIES/CALUMNY SPREAD BY BRAHMINS/PANDITS AND BANIAS.In 3 cases,the Gurus were sawed and tortured by BRAHMINS/PANDITS.
But the Sikhs still do NOT get it ?
What went wrong with the Sikhs ?
POSIT NO.4
Sample the deeds of Gobind Singh – the SON of Tegh Bahadur
ਮਨਮ ਕਸ਼ਤਨਮ ਕੋਹੀਯਾਂ ਬਤ ਪਰਸਤ ॥
ਕਿ ਓ ਬਤ ਪਰਸਤੰਦ ਮਨ ਬਤ ਸ਼ਿਕਸਤ ॥95॥
I have killed the hill Rajas (kings) who were bent on mischief. They were stone idol worshippers, I am the breaker of idols and I worship the one Lord (Zaffarnama, Guru Gobind Singh Ji)
SIKHS WAFFLE AND APOLOGISE FOR THIS VERSE.THEY SAY “IDOLS” DOES NOT MEAN TEMPLE IDOLS – BUT CONVENTIONS AND PRACTICES,LIKE SATI ETC.
THAT IS PURE TRASH ! GOBIND SINGH DESTROYED TEMPLES AND BROKE IDOLS – JUST LIKE JESUS ABD ABRAHAM.AND ALSO,JUST LIKE GHAZNI AND GHORI AND AURANGZEB ! IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO !
BUT SIKHS DO NOT ADMIT IT ? Y ?
ALL THE SACRED SITES OF THE SIKHS ARE IN PAKISTAN AND THEIR DNA AND GENEAOGY IS FROM THE REGION OF PAKISTAN,KHORASAN,PERSIA AND TURKEY.
WHEN WILL THE SIKHS AWAKEN ?
