HINDU, SIKH OR SUFI?

Posted on June 17, 2018 Posted By: Amardeep Singh Categories: Sikh Legacy in Pakistan

Beauty of Sindh (Pakistan) lies in its inclusiveness of faiths. Hindu temples reflect Hinduism, Sikhism and Sufism inside the same premises.

    This is incredible Amardeep! What a find! We are Bhagnaris too and my parents had to leave at the time of the partition. Just amazing to see that there are still folks that are speaking Bhagnari and some of the older folks may still remember the community from then. We are truly all connected by IkOankar.

      Great news hope all Bhagnari’s both sides join together to get back our heritage culture traditions.??
