The venerable Sant Baba Iqbal Singh Ji was born on May 1, 1926 in village Bharial Lahri, Tehsil Pathankot, District Gurdaspur (now Pathankot) to father Sanwal Singh Ji and mother Gulab Kaur Ji. Baba Ji had two elder brothers Bhai Daulat Singh Ji and Bhai Harbans Singh Ji and an elder sister. From very childhood, he was inclined towards deep devotion to the Eternal Lord and used to go in the forests for recitation of the Divine Name without informing anyone at home. He would very often join the company of the saintly and divine people and get blessed by listening to their discourses about the Eternal Lord. While learning from his teacher of history in 6th Grade about the daughter and son of Emperor Ashoka remaining unmarried and propagating Buddhism, Baba Ji made a resolve to dedicate his life towards serving humanity and propagate Sikhi. Although his family later forced him several times to get married, he remained steadfast in his resolve. Being afraid of the British rule, when his family didn’t allow him to become Amritdhari (get him initiated into the Khalsa fold with Amrit), he went on a hunger strike to persuade his family; and then got blessed by Amrit at Akal Takht Sahib, Amritsar. He passed Grade VIII from Government School, Dina Nagar and Grade X from Government High School, Gurdaspur. His mother passed away while he was in Grade X. But due to his state of devotion towards the Eternal Lord, he accepted the Divine Will and didn’t shed a single tear. After matriculation, he completed B.Sc. Agriculture from Khalsa College, Lyallpur. Later, at the time of Partition of the country, when Punjab Agriculture University Ludhiana had not been established, the government temporarily started Agriculture College in Khalsa College, Amritsar.

Niranjan Singh Mehta, who came to be known as Sant Teja Singh Ji later, was born to Bhai Ralla Singh and Ram Kaur at Balowali village (in Pakistan) on 14 May 1877. Bhai Ralla Singh was a medical doctor working in Central Jail, Lahore. Sant Teja Singh Ji passed his postgraduate studies with distinction and followed it up with a degree in law. He then went to Harvard University in the United States for further studies. At the centre of his world was an abiding respect for his mentor a belief that education has to holistically blend science with spirituality in order to make the world a better place to live in. Sant Teja Singh Ji established the Kalgidhar Trust, Baru Sahib in 1963 to spread the message of universal brotherhood.

Sant Attar Singh Ji, the most widely known and respected Sant in modern times, was born at Cheema, a village in the erstwhile Jind State (now in Sangrur district of Punjab, India) on 28 March 1866. His advocacy of education for the girl-child, and blending education with spirituality show his sense of foresightedness. Even a century back, he knew that mere scientific education would only lead to destruction, and education of the girl-child would result in the whole family getting educated. Towards that end, he first set up a school for girls in 1906. He did that even before establishing a school for boys and Akal Degree College at Mastuana, Punjab. Eventually he established a chain of schools and colleges. He also took part in several educational conferences motivating others to establish many more schools and colleges. Such was his goodwill and popularity as a messenger of Universal Brotherhood and Oneness, he was personally invited by Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya to lay the foundation stone of the Banaras Hindu University on 24 December 1914.

This article aims to demonstrate the need for Israeli and Palestinian extremists to be removed from power and for the UN to be restructured so that there is peace between Israel and Palestine. The construction of peace can only happen in the Palestine region if the Jewish people in Israel and throughout the world, as well as the Palestinians, politically repel the extremists who exercise power in their territories and establish governments that seek conciliation between the Jewish and Palestinian peoples. It can be said that there is only one solution to the conflict between Palestine and Israel: on the one hand, Israel needs to accept the constitution of the Palestinian State, seek a fair and negotiated solution regarding Jerusalem and the fate of Palestinian refugees and end the settlements Jews in the West Bank and, on the other, Palestinians need to recognize the State of Israel because neither Palestinians nor Israelis can impose their will on each other. Neither the right-wing extremists who govern Israel nor the Palestinian extremist groups will be able to impose their will by force of arms in Palestine. It is unlikely that the conflict between Palestinians and Jews will be resolved today because existing international institutions are not capable of building a negotiated solution to the conflict between these two peoples and between Israel, Iran and the Arab countries. This means that there is an urgent need to restructure the international system to resolve the conflict between Israel and Palestine, between Russia and Ukraine and all international conflicts that may occur in the future. The time has come for humanity to promote the construction of world peace and to exercise control over its destiny. To achieve these objectives, it is urgent to restructure the UN with a view to transforming it into a democratic government of the world that constitutes the only means of survival for the human species.
