Qisse on Sacrifice

"Whenever oppression

reaches its zenith within a society, a figure invariably emerges who sacrifices their life, thereby establishing a precedent of martyrdom against that tyranny. Contextualizing this within Punjab, instances of self-sacrifice are manifold. While foreign invaders and despotic rulers historically subjected the local populace to atrocities, every era simultaneously witnessed the rise of defiant, revolutionary individuals. These souls set aside personal interests to embrace martyrdom. From the epoch of the Sikh Gurus to the era of the freedom struggle, Punjab boasts a vast and profound lineage of individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice."
