During an annual Gurmat Samagam held in memory of Panth Sewak Bhai Surinderpal Singh Tharua at Gurdwara Sahib, Urban Estate (Phase 3), Patiala, Bhai Mandhir Singh of Panth Sewak Jatha Doaba shared his insights with the Sikh sangat.

He reflected on Bhai Surinderpal Singh Tharua’s contribution to the Sikh struggle and his efforts to revive and reorganize Sikh initiatives after the decline of the Sikh movement of the 1980s and 1990s. Bhai Mandhir Singh also spoke about the qualities of Sikh leadership, explaining how true leadership naturally evolves from the Sikh masses and gains their recognition. He expressed concern over deviations in this natural process in present times, particularly with the influence and distortion brought by social media.

Addressing the changing international landscape and regional dynamics in South Asia, Bhai Mandhir Singh referred to the recent regime change in Nepal and noted that India appears increasingly worried about these developments. He further highlighted specific areas in which Sikhs should remain cautious and vigilant in light of these geopolitical shifts.
