Jindbari/Nangal/Una, October 11 (Rajvir Chopra):- The birth of a daughter brings happiness and the sound of laughter to a home, but not everyone chooses to share that joy with the entire community. Kamal Sandhu Tony, a resident of Jindbari, made the birth of his daughter, Viraj Sandhu, memorable by organising a Sufi musical evening and conveying a beautiful message to society: a daughter is not merely a responsibility for a family, but the joy of its home, peace for its heart and one of life’s most precious blessings. By celebrating his daughter’s birth as a festival, Kamal Sandhu Tony set an example whose message extends beyond a musical gathering to influence social attitudes.
Hundreds of people attended the event organised to celebrate the birth of Viraj Sandhu and congratulated the family. The entire atmosphere was filled with happiness, warmth and enthusiasm. At the programme held late on Sunday evening, Sant Shri Keshwanand Maharaj attended as the chief guest, while Sufi singer Balli Bains enthralled the audience with his outstanding performances. His singing created such a captivating atmosphere that those present were immersed in the melodious world of music. Each performance added to the splendour of the event and made the celebration of the daughter’s birth even more memorable.
The most significant aspect of the event was not merely the Sufi music or the large gathering, but the sentiment behind it. In a society where differences are still made between daughters and sons in some places, celebrating a daughter’s birth in this manner sends a powerful message. A father turning his daughter’s arrival into a joyful celebration is also an inspiration for families that remain bound by outdated thinking. The celebration of Viraj Sandhu’s birth shows that the arrival of a daughter is no less than a festival and that every positive step taken to welcome her can inspire new hope for social change.
Those present at the event included Rajiv Kumar, chairman of the governing body of the Shri Keshwanand Ji Maharaj Sewa Trust; vice-chairman Kamal Singh; secretary Sunil Kumar; treasurer Manoj Kumar; chief preacher Sukhwinder Singh; executive members Harmeet Singh and Shashipal; and other prominent personalities.
Kamal Sandhu Tony’s initiative conveyed a message amid the celebrations that emotions express more than words can. The Sufi evening organised to celebrate the birth of Viraj Sandhu became more than a family function; it turned into a meaningful effort dedicated to the dignity of daughters, equality and a positive attitude towards them. By opening the doors of happiness to welcome his daughter, one father also inspired the hundreds of people who joined the celebration to carry the message forward: daughters are not a burden but the pride of a family. Their arrival brightens not only a home but life itself.
