There are thousands of
religious sites all over the world that lie within the borders of the
other nations. But the Sikh nation has more sites than any other. But some
of the sites are near the borders. A few of these that immediately come to
mind are as under
-
Sheikh Brahm's Mazar in District
Amritsar, Punjab
This is right on the Indo-Pak border but within Indian Territory. The
Govt of India h ad been allowing pilgrims from Pakistan to visit
this shrine every thursday but when the Sikhs intensified their
demand of corridor to Kartarpur and Pakistan whose territory was to be
visited agreed. The Govt of India disallowed further visit by Pakistani
pilgrims. We all feel very sorry for that.
-
Chimliyal In RSPura of the Jammu Sector.
This again is on the border but in the J&K state within the Indian
territory. Indian Govt had been partially allowing Pakistani nationals
to pay their obeisance to the shrine. But was later stopped in view of
Kartarpur Corridor demand. Now when the peace process has been
intensified this year the Govt allowed Pakistanis to visit it.

passengers bridge the divide
In fact it were the Sikhs first to demand a free passage without any
visa or passport but unfortunately the Sikhs don't have a strong lobby
in Delhi to help them.
