"There is no fear without struggle" Bill Sorro

THERE is a world filled with fear

IS it always going to be this way?

NO telling what will happen next

FREEDOM has to come from within

WITHOUT believing in ourselves

The road ahead
Most cannot see, this
Dangerous, invisible, uncontrollable
Thing to fear
In our hearts we know
the way to imagine a
World that
Is new, just, peaceful, united, supported
The road won't be smooth
Death is seeking us still
Of many roads, we'll choose one
Our lofty aspirations proof that
Dreams can be made real

Pash (9 September 1950 - 23 March 1988) was the pen name of Avtar Singh Sandhu, one of the major poets of the Naxalite movement in the Punjabi literature of the 1970s. He was killed by Khalistani extremists on 23 March 1988. His strongly left-wing views were reflected in his poetry.

Pash was born as Avtar Singh Sandhu in 1950 in a small village called Talwandi Salem in Jalandhar district of Punjab, in a middle class farmers family. His father Sohan Singh Sandhu was a soldier in the Indian army who also composed poetry as a hobby. Pash grew up in the midst of the Naxalite movement, a revolutionary movement waged in Punjab against the landlords, industrialists, traders, etc. who control the means of production. This was in the midst of the Green revolution which had addressed India's problem of famine using high yield crops, but had also unconsciously led to other forms of inequities in Punjab.

In 1970, he published his first book of revolutionary poems, Loh-Katha ( Iron Tale), at the age of 18. His militant and provocative tone raised the ire of the establishment and a murder charge was brought against him. He spent nearly two years in jail, before being finally acquitted. In 1972, the 22 year old started a On acquittal, he became involved in Punjab's Maoist front, editing a literary magazine, Siarh ( The Plow Line). He became a popular political figure on the left during this period, and was awarded a fellowship at the Punjabi Academy of Letters in 1985. He toured the United Kingdom and the United States the following year; while in the U.S., he became involved with the Anti-47 Front, opposing Sikh extremist violence. His words had a great influence on the minds of the people.

In the beginning of 1988 Pash was in Punjab for the renewal of his visa from the United States. A day before leaving for Delhi, however, he was gunned down by Indian politicians along with his friend Hans Raj on the well in his village on 23 March 1988.

Khilre Hoey Varkey was posthumously published in 1989 after his death, followed by his journals and letters. A selection of his poems in Punjabi, Inkar, was published in Lahore in 1997. His poems have been translated in many languages including other Indian languages, Nepali and English. Poems written by Paarsh are popular in India, especially in Punjab and North India. Recitations of his poems are often carried out, especially on the weekends close to his death anniversary.

Sab Ton Khatarnaak

One of Pash's most popular and often cited poems is titled ਸਬ ਤੋਂ ਖ਼ਤਰਨਾਕ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ ਸੁਪਨਿਆਂ ਦਾ ਮਰ ਜਾਣਾ। सबसे ख़तरनाक होता है हमारे सपनों का मर जाना (Sabse Khatarnak hota hai hamare sapnon ka mar jaana - meaning: The most dangerous thing is the demise of our dreams).

In 2005, this poem was included in NCERT's Hindi book for 11th standard.

THE GREATEST gift we have brings

GLORY IN ourselves, because

LIVING LIES in the energy we have

NOT IN the material possessions we have

EVER FALLING is a lesson

BUT Instead we get down,

RISING EVERY TIME is a must that we cannot fail

WE FALL so we can learn

Storytelling is how we preserve the heartbeat of a person, memory, moment"

STORYTELLING brings traditions to life

IS a way to make sure traditions, customs and people are alive

HOW we tell the story is our on way to respect

WE must never forget that we all have something to say

PRESERVE our values

THE way we choose to share it, is unique

HEARTBEAT is life

OF A generation that must make their mark

PERSON to person storytelling is intimate and vulnerable way to communicate

MEMORY of an act of kindness is powerful

MOMENTs of silence bring inner-peace

Quiero hacer contigo lo que la primavera hace con los cerezos

I want to do to you what Spring does to the cherry tree

Quiero estar en tus brazos
Hacer lo que nos agrada, es que
Contigo siento un calor delicioso
Lo precioso tu olor
Que penetra mi ser
La noche, el dia, todo nuestro
Primavera?, ni me he fijado, contigo siempre es un verano caribenho
Hace cuanto que me tocaste
Con tus labios?
Los minutos son eternos
Cerezos, expliquenle que lo necesito aqui conmigo

Humility  is the only soil in which the graces root.

BlUshing is the color of virtue.

We Must speak with all the humility that is appropriate, but we must speak.

WIthout humility, there can be no humanity.

No Labor however humble, is dishonoring.

I will study and get ready and someday my chance will come.

To become truly great, one has to stand with people, not above them.

You shouldn't gloat about anything you've done; You ought to keep going and find something better to do.
