550th Birth Anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev Ji (1469-2019).
Nankana Sahib is the most important
religious site for the Sikh religion. It is located about 91 km (57
mi) west of Lahore and about 75 km (47 mi) east of Faisalabad. The Nankana Sahib Gurdwara, a site
sacred to Sikhs, is inscribed on one side of the coins with the
words ‘550th birthday celebrations’ and ‘Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji’
embossed on the edges. The other side illustrates Pakistan’s emblem,
a crescent and a star, with ‘Islamic Republic of Pakistan’ etched in
Urdu. According to officials, the 550 rupees coin will be available
to pilgrims at the Kartarpur Sahib, along with postal stamp worth Rs
8.
The goodwill gesture is part of the initiatives by Pakistan to
promote interfaith harmony ahead of the 550th birth anniversary
celebrations of Guru Nanak and the opening of Kartarpur Corridor.
Prime Minister Imran Khan will formally inaugurate the corridor on
09 November 2019, which would allow Sikh pilgrims from India
visa-free travel to Gurdwara Kartarpur Sahib – one of Sikhism’s
holiest pilgrimage sites. Pakistan and India signed the much-awaited
Kartarpur agreement last week in a rare act of cooperation between
the two sides in these tense times. The peace corridor will allow
around 5,000 Sikh pilgrims to visit the shrine every day.
This week, Pakistan’s premier laid the foundation stone for a
university in Nankana Sahib district, named after Guru Nanak.
“Setting up of an educational institution is the best way to pay
homage to Baba Guru Nanak because education is the key to nations’
success,” Imran Khan said in his speech.
The Sikh community around the world welcomed the initiative and
expressed its appreciation for Pakistan and PM Imran Khan on social
media. “This kindness of yours speaks a lot about your vision for
Pakistan and world,” wrote Jeevanjot Brar while thanking the
premier. “Thanks and respect from the bottom of our hearts,” read
another comment by Jas Singh. Many were interested in buying the
coin to add to their collection and insisted that Pakistan
government to make it available online.
Pakistan is home to some of the holiest Sikh sites and Gurdwara
Darbar Sahib Kartarpur is believed to have been built on the site in
Pakistan’s Narowal district where Guru Nanak breathed his last in
the 16th century. The opening of religious passage would connect
Pakistan’s Kartarpur with Dera Baba Nanak shrine in India’s
Gurdaspur district and actualise decades-old wish of the Sikh
community.
Guru Nanak (15 April 1469 – 22 September
1539) was the founder of Sikhism and the first of the ten Sikh
Gurus. His birth is celebrated worldwide as Guru Nanak Gurpurab on
Kartik Pooranmashi, the full-moon day in the month of Katak,
October–November.

Subject:
40 Years of Afghan Refugee in Pakistan (1980-2020).
Note:
Forty years ago in
1979, the Soviet forces (Now Russia) invaded Afghanistan. It created
Soviet-Afghan War, which lasted for 9 years (December 24, 1979 –
February 15, 1989). As a consequence, a large number of Afghan
refugees crossed the border into Pakistan seeking refuge from the
ravages of war. Their influx started through Torkham border as
millions of Afghan refugees entered our country. To this day, the
security situation in Afghanistan remains unstable. Throughout these
forty years the people of Pakistan have been generously hosting
Afghan refugees; making this the largest protracted refugee crisis
under the mandate of United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
