The Strength of a Sister #InspireASister


 
Bibi Kamaldeep Kaur (Sister of Bhai Rajoana Jee)

Quote from Sarbjit Singh of Rajoana TV.

"Bibi Kamaldeep Kaur has also been an inspiration with a lot of resolve and strength. She has been the only link between Bhai Rajoana Jee and the rest of the world.

A message, especially for my sisters, who see the Sikh Freedom Movement as quite masculine, we see people with guns and ammunition but we forget behind these great souls are amazing, strong women who have accomplished so much! Furthermore, even recently in our very life time, some like Bibi Kamaldeep Kaur are an inspiration, showing us how strong a woman can be!

If you look at Shaheed Jaspal Singh Jee, somebody who was made Shaheed during the protests against Bhai Sahib's execution; when he was laying there on the day of his funeral, his mother and sister didn't have white chunnia on (which is what we normally do as a cultural thing as a mark of respect). Instead they had kesri on which meant we are still part of this movement.

It is really important to look at these women and especially for my sisters who can draw strength from people like Bibi Kamaldeep Kaur. She is a victim of this system. She has lost a brother, a sister and her parents were tortured, yet she still continues with complete resolve.

A big THANK YOU to Bibi Kamaldeep Kaur."
