Based in Bhikhiwind (Tarn Taran, Punjab), the Sandhu family stood as an unyielding bulwark against terrorism throughout the 1980s and 1990s, surviving over 40 armed attacks and fierce sieges by Khalistani terror outfits. In October 2020, Comrade Balwinder Singh Sandhu was martyred after his security was abruptly withdrawn, and Jagdish Kaur continues to fight relentlessly for justice, truth, and national integration. Gulshanbir Goraya is brother of Jagdish Kaur. 00:00 - Intro to Sandhu family 08:22 - Jagdish Kaur: SFI Roots & Marriage in 1988 12:42 - 1980s Bhikhiwind: Rapes, Extortion & Defying Terror 17:40 - First Attack (Jan 1990) & Refusing to Flee 19:25 - Building the 3-Storey Bulletproof Bunker 22:28 - 30 Sept 1990: 200 Terrorists Attack with Rocket Launchers 27:10 - Family Repels 6-Hour Siege with 45 Guns 33:15 - Toddler Gagandeep Filling Ammo During Gunfights 40:20 - Bunker Searchlights & Night Watch Rosters 45:40 - Rejecting Surrender & Refusing Compromise 53:40 - Oct 2020: Murder at School Office 01:00:00 - Fighting SSP's "Personal Enmity" Cover-up 01:05:00 - Sarabjit Singh vs Sandhu Family: State Neglect 01:12:00 - High Court Battle for Family Security 01:18:00 - School Hit: Firing on Gagandeep in 2025 01:30:15 - Brutal Torture of Punjab Police Constables 01:40:00 - True Sikh Ideology vs Extremism 01:43:16 - 4 Shaurya Chakras at Rashtrapati Bhavan 01:47:15 - Remembering Comrade Balwinder & Final Message
