![]() Photo: The two installations at the chowk. But we (Tarksheel Society) have so far not deliberated over this issue,” the society’s executive member Bhura Singh Meghma Sarja from Bathinda told The Wire. My personal opinion is that this aircraft could have been installed somewhere else as it really contradicts the thought of Bhai Ghanaiya. Members of Punjab’s Tarksheel Society (rationalists’ society) were also taken by surprise when asked for their opinion on the presence of these contradictory symbols at the same site. “Bhai Ghanaiya chowk is a monumental crossing and every such crossing should ideally uphold the spirit of the monumental personality,” he further explained. “When I saw the MiG there for the first time, along with friends, all from the artistes ‘mandal’, we discussed this dichotomy for 15-20 minutes while travelling through that place,” he said. Both aesthetically and historically, it is sheer nonsense,” said Gurpreet, a well-respected painter and activist of the Sobha Singh Memorial Artistes Society in Punjab. “Raising the MiG, that killed so many people, parallel to the Bhai Ghanaiya chowk is so contradictory. This comes as a surprise to any commuter with knowledge of the historical importance of Bhai Ghanaiya’s efforts to quench the thirst of dying and injured enemies during the Mughal-Sikh war period of the early 18th century, 160 years earlier than the concept of the Red Cross that came into being in 1863. The airframe of the decommissioned fighter plane, which killed many people including its own pilots in crashes, stood three times the size of Bhai Ghanaiya’s statue. We look to peacefully live our lives by our own morals and build our religion for our future generations.Bathinda: By-passing Bathinda at the Bhai Ghanaiya chowk (roundabout) on the city outskirts, one can now spot the airframe of an MiG 21 fighter plane in a take-off position, facing the monumental statues of Bhai Ghanaiya and the injured Mughal soldiers gulping water from his goat-skin vessel (a war scene from the 1704 Anandpur Sahib battle). We honour our the Germanic Gods and Goddesses as our ancient kin, (the gods of the various Germanic Tribes) and live our lives by the Nine Noble Virtues. We honour the laws in the lands where we exist and we honour a person right to believe in whatever religion they choose. We are a diverse people we exist in all walks of life. We will also live with those consequences and take that responsibility. These are OUR symbols, and only we will dictate how they will be displayed and how they are going to be used. Listing any of our sacred symbols in this manner is absolutely unacceptable, trying to list it, as heathen symbols co-opted by racists is an attempt by The Anti-Defamation League to discriminate against Heathens since Christian, Moslem, and Jewish holy symbols are all used by their own racists ( such as the Christian KKK, the Jewish Kach Movement, and the Muslim Nation of Islam, among many other groups) but are not included on their lists.Īsatru is not a religion based upon fear or hate, and we have an in-defiable right to use ALL of our ancient sacred symbols without being associated with fear and racial prejudice. Our sacred symbols represent that which is best in each and every one of us and what our people are, they are our strength, and our protection which empowers our us as a people to have the willingness to stand, no matter what the odds are because in the end we will overcome ALL detriments placed before us. The Anti-Defamation League’s decision to list the Thors Hammer, Valknot, and certain runic symbols as Neo-Nazi or generic racist symbols is an insult to our people. These lies have been proven to be false time and time again. To further their goals these organizations lie to law enforcement officials, they lie to the media, and they lie to many of the people that they represent. Some of these groups have gone out of their way to bring dishonor to our people and our religion. In the past few years these groups have focused on our ancient ancestral religion Asatru. ![]() For these groups to survive they must continually find more racists to justify their own existence. ![]() Unfortunately, there presently exists multiple groups of people and government sponsored organizations who believe it is their job to save the world from racists. Our symbols have existed for many millenia free from any conatations of fear and racial hatred. ![]()
