Mianwali (Indo-Pak international border), March 14: Since ages various
shrines devoted to Sufi saints have played a major role in promoting
communal harmony regardless of their
religion.
Pir Baba Sheikh Bramhs Daragah at the Indo-Pakistan international border
near Mianwali Village in Khemkaran is one such Sufi shrine that has always
brought
Hindus and
Muslims close to each other irrespective of their residence being on
either side of the border.
Villagers here say that Pir Baba Sheikh Bramh was a disciple of Guru Nanak
Dev, the first Sikh Guru.
Thousands of devotees from India and Pakistan converge here to offer their
obeisance at Pir Baba Sheikh Bramhs Dargah on every Thursday, the day
devoted to Gurus. But the sight evokes emotion when one looks at the deep
reverence with which people wait for their turn.
