CHANDIGARH, Punjab—To promote the life values and philosophy of ninth Sikh master Sri Guru Teg Bahadur Ji, the Language Department of Punjab has begun efforts to publish several books in commemoration of the 400th Parkash Purab of Sri Guru Teg Bahadur Ji.

These books also include the book commemorated to the great martyrdom of Chaar Sahibzaades named Shaheedan-e-Wafa which was penned by Hakeem Yogi Allah Yaar Khan. This book is being reprinted due to its high demand.
Similarly, other books including “Sri Guru Teg Bahadur Ji” penned by Kapurthala’s king Daljit Singh, Dr. Navratan Kapur’s book, and a newly written book by Amarjit Kaur are also being published.
The Language Department is also publishing a special edition of the magazine “Jan-Sahit” commemorated to the ninth Sikh master Sri Guru Teg Bahadur Ji.
