[divya]

Kashmir will be alive and open this Diwali. Opposition from minority groups has led Syed Ali Shah Geelani to announce a day's grace on November 5 in his 10-day schedule of protests and hartals to coincide with Barack Obama's India visit.

Geelani said the decision to drop protests was taken after many delegations of minorities approached him.

Hmmm..for celebrating Diwali,minorities must get permission from the Old Caliph of Kashmir.....

Says volumes about the freedom they have in their own country.

Just think what would have happened if Mulsims have to take permission from Bajrang Dal for celebrating Ramzan.

1737

An important Sikh event associated with Diwali is the martyrdom of the elderly Sikh scholar and strategist Bhai Mani Singh in 1737. Bhai Mani Singh was the Granthi (keeper/reader of Sikh scripture) of Harmandir Sahib (popularly known as the Golden Temple). He transcribed the final version of Guru Granth Sahib dictated to him by Guru Gobind Singh in 1704.

Bhai Mani Singh assumed charge of Harmandir Sahib's management in 1708. In 1737, he received permission from Zakariya Khan, the then Mughal governor of Punjab, to hold a religious gathering of the Khalsa for celebrating Diwali for a large tax of 5000 Rupees. He expected to put together the required sum from contribution made by the Sikhs who would assemble that day. But on discovered Zakariya Khan's plot to kill the Sikhs during the gathering, he sent out messages warning them not to turn up for the meeting. As a result the tax could not be paid and Zakariya Khan ordered Bhai Mani Singh's execution at Lahore.
