Dear Supporter,
Together we have raised awareness on Kartarpur Sahib's heritage and ecological destruction asking for its preservation for almost five months now. It is heartening to see more support pouring in from different walks of life. Anyone supporting this cause in which ever way they best can is creating awareness amongst more people and strengthening our voice.
We thank writer Haroon Khalid to have written so beautifully in support of Nature preservation as a true tribute to Baba Nanak. His article is worth a read and share.
Haroon writes-
"While the establishment of the corridor is a remarkable feat, particularly in the context of current India-Pakistan relations, the damage to nature in the process of its development is disquieting.
Several photographs of uprooted trees near the Kartarpur Gurdwara have been circulated on social media, eliciting strong reactions from people across the world. These people argue that while the construction of the corridor will potentially bring people together, which is an essential feature of Guru Nanak’s religious philosophy, its development must not end up damaging nature, which Nanak celebrated throughout his poetry.
Nature has a particular significance in Guru Nanak’s philosophy...
While it is important to commemorate his legacy through his gurdwaras, it is also essential to follow his philosophy and partake in his celebration of nature. Destroying nature to build the Kartarpur Corridor is no way to celebrate Guru Nanak."
Haroon Khalid is the author of four books including Imagining Lahore and Walking with Nanak.
