Arching across the shoulders in a retro, dual-tone print is the Gurmukhi script "ਸਿੰਘ ਸੂਰਮੇ" (Singh Soorme).
THE FIGURES
This graphic archives the unbending iron of the Panth's defence, uniting the most feared and revered figures of the Sikh resistance.
At the centre stands Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Bhindranwale, the spearhead of the Sikh awakening who resurrected the conscience of the nation. Standing to his side is Bhai Surinder Singh Sodhi. Sant Ji’s most trusted defender and the legendary marksman whose absolute loyalty struck fear into the state apparatus.
Flanking them are the legendary enforcers and generals of the armed struggle:
Bhai Amrik Singh Ji, the visionary President of the AISSF and the intellectual architect of the movement.
General Manbir Singh Chaheru, the founding commander of the Khalistan Commando Force (KCF) who organized and formalized the Panth's retaliation.
Bhai Gurjant Singh Budhsinghwala, the fearless chief of the Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF) who waged an unrelenting, unapologetic war against oppression.
They are the scholars, the saints, and the soldiers who chose to defend the sovereignty of the Panth against the full might of an empire.
THE MANIFESTO
The text anchoring the bottom of the piece is our brand’s core thesis on Shaheedi. It reads:
"Some paths demand everything. When faith needs defenders, lions rise to strike fear into the hearts of tyrants. This is why empires tremble when warriors choose truth over breath. History shows that those who walk this path may obtain a physical death, but their truth lives forever."
ਸਿੰਘਾਂ ਦਾ ਲਹੂ ਕਦੇ ਠੰਡਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੁੰਦਾ
(The blood of a Singh never runs cold)
ਜਦੋਂ ਧਰਮ ਦੀ ਰਾਖੀ ਦਾ ਸਵਾਲ ਆਵੇ
(When the question of defending the faith arises)
ਅਸੀਂ ਮਰਦੇ ਨਹੀਂ, ਸਿਰਫ਼ ਸ਼ਹੀਦ ਹੁੰਦੇ ਹਾਂ
(We do not die, we only become martyrs)
The front of the hoodie features a classic Ankhila Youth Club emblem.
