Kartarpur Sahib Heritage

Preserving the Soul of a Shared Land

Jeevay Sanjha Punjab

“Documenting the vanishing, educating the living, and bridging the hearts of East and West Punjab.”

The Foundation

A Shared Heart,
A Divided Map.

 

Punjab is more than a geography; it is a rhythm of shared language, Sufi wisdom, and centuries of collective memory. Since the partition, these threads have been pulled thin, but they have never broken.

“Our work is to find those threads—the songs, the scripts, and the stories—and weave them back together for the next generation.”

Our Methodology

The Three Pillars of Preservation

 
01

Oral History Archive

We record the firsthand accounts of the 1947 generation, preserving the dialects, memories, and personal stories of a land before it was divided.

02

Heritage Mapping

Locating and documenting neglected historical sites—Gurdwaras, Mandirs, and Havelis—to ensure that physical history is not erased by time.

The Race Against Time

The Last Witnesses

“Every time an elder passes away, a library burns to the ground.”

Our primary mission is to record the memories of those who lived in a united Punjab. These stories are the only remaining bridges to a history that books cannot capture—the smells, the sounds, and the spirit of a shared home.

Our Shared Vision

A Borderless
Cultural Archive.

 

“We envision a future where the partition of land is not a partition of the heart.”

Our vision is to build the world’s most comprehensive digital repository of Punjabi heritage—a space where history is preserved in its original script, where every village tells its story, and where the next generation can cross the border through memory and language.

Preservation

Safeguarding the last oral testimonies and crumbling heritage sites.

Education

Bridging the Shahmukhi-Gurmukhi divide through memory.
