EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures a devastating moment in history - the fire that engulfed the Sikh Temple in March 1981. Standing outside the damaged temple on Nithsdale Road, Pollokshields, Glasgow is Gurder Virhia, the dedicated General Secretary of this sacred place of worship. The image serves as a reminder of both tragedy and resilience within the Sikh community. The flames may have ravaged their physical space, but they could not extinguish their unwavering faith and determination to rebuild. Gurder Virhia's presence exudes strength and courage as he surveys the aftermath of destruction. Dressed in traditional Sikh clothing with his turban proudly adorning his head, he represents not only his own personal commitment but also symbolizes unity among BAME (Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic) communities during challenging times. In this snapshot from Scotland's past, we witness how religion can serve as an anchor for individuals facing adversity. It reminds us of the power that places of worship hold in people's lives - providing solace, guidance, and a sense of belonging. As we reflect upon this photograph from Memory Lane Prints' collection by Daily Record, let it be a testament to human resilience and interfaith solidarity amidst trials faced by marginalized communities throughout history.
