[Reader-list] God Just Left the Gurdwara

[Pukhraj Singh]

A vignette of emotions, centered on a perverse ritual being practiced
in a 350-year old Sikh seminary. How a search for the origins of
“Chauthey Paurey Wale”, a spiritually sanctioned cussword for the
low-caste Sikhs, also unearthed the true story of a folk hero, Bidhi
Chand Chhina, in a village so old that it’s said to be the birthplace
of Shiva. The mutiny of a renouncer that was Bidhi Chand and the
lingering doubts it left about the politics of the Gurus.

A travelogue from the heart of darkness of Punjab. A deluded activist
recounting the privations suffered that firmed his opinion on the
“smug-faced leftists with kindling eye”.
