Jago....

Well i thought i would let you all know that my punjabi is getting a little bit better ;), or atleast i think it is ha! i just got in one of those moods to listen to the "Immortal SHaheedi" albums... and one of my Fav songs on the 2nd album is "Jago" by Tigerstyle. well some how over the course of listening to this song like a milllion of times i was able to figure out what was going on.... this song is about a Jago... Jago was, from my understanding, is a Dance done at a Lady's Sangeet its supposed to be welll wishes and friends Gather and Sing and Dance.

So well cleverly Tigerstyle used it in a different light... "click on the extended" its a long one.. Ha

This whole song Tigerstyle, speaks bout all the Sikhs that came from the Various Parts of Punjab, during the Operation BLuestar, and the Anti Sikh Riots... the real sweet parts have to be when they would Label off a Region of Punjab, then they would give a description of what each part did, ie Ludiana, Patiala..... the song starts off with...
Koam de Ago Dhaaram de Agay GurSikhiMukh Bianeyaa which ROUGHLY means, "By Putting their Religion, Sikhi, first, these men have become Gurmukhs which mean Men of God."

then one of the last verse inthe song is this one..

Biant Singh Satwant Singh Nahoo Jaan Pichan Dragee....
Biyant Singh Nah Karkay Jago Pistol Dai Vich PAyee Hai Ohn Jago Aieea....
Bindra Ayee Bindrawale Santa De Haon Di Bolaiaa - Jago by Tigerstyle
Which Roughly Means "Biant Singh and Satwant Singh, didn't fear death.... Biant Singh Stood infront, and answered the "Jago", and shoot bullets in to Indira Ghandi, with his pistol.." granted it wasn't the "right" thing for Biant Singh, but then again if you look at the story about you'll see. for those of you who don't know who Mehtab Singh is..

They had hung their hair loose behind their necks (as the Pathans do). Entering Harminder Sahib they tethered their horses to the berry tree and went inside with the sacks on their shoulders. They saw that Massa Ranghar was sitting on a bed smoking hubble bubble (hookah), prostitutes were dancing and wine was flowing freely. They placed the sacks under the bed and said, "We have come to pay the revenue." When Massa Ranghar bent to feel the sacks, Mehtab Singh cut his head in a flash and put it in a sack after empting it of the potsherds. Sukha Singh made short work of the company of Massa Ranghar. Having finished their work with the speed of lightening, the Singhs mounted their horses and were out of sight in no time." Full Article

The Mughal cheif, had descrated the Golden Temple, much like Indira Ghandi did, and well Mehtab Singh Kill the Muhgal Cheif, Sikhs say it was a good thing.. but when Biant and Satwant Singh Do it, its not.... i dont get that logic Ha...
aite i'm gonna do this thesis peace
