Downtown Squamish was flooded with people in celebration of the 16th annual Sikh Parade on June 17.
In 1704, the combined forces of the Mughals and the Hill Chieftains raised conflict against the tenth Guru of the Sikh traditions, Guru Gobind Singh Ji.
He included in the Adi Granth, the compositions of both Hindu and Muslim saints which he considered consistent with the teachings of Sikhism and the Gurus.
The parade celebrates the martyrdom of the fifth Guru and takes place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in downtown Squamish.
The martyrdom of the fifth master of the Sikhs, Guru Arjan Dev Ji , in the hands of the cruel and bigoted Mughal regime on 13 Jeth 1606 (30 May 1606) falls on 26 May by the western calendar this year.
