Preet Lari
, a Punjabi language magazine, once published in four languages,was founded by Gurbakhsh Singh in 1933 and the word means Love LInk.It seeks to link people of all races, nations and ages through reasonable, loving and positive thinking aimed at the general good of all.
His son Navtej Singh joined him and brought in a feeling for the oppressed.The times were those that promised to bring equality of opportunity for everyone.Navtej Singh became a voice for the oppressed and the underdogs of the world.His sweet concern touched many a heart and they dared to dream.He died quiet young at the age of 56, of cancer. To the surprise of all, Navtej Singh’s second son, Sumeet Singh,then 27,a young story writer and avid reader of Kafkian and the then contemporary Indian literature took on the mantle and was in a sense an early postmodernist,drawing on all pre-modern traditions as well, to stand up for abiding values of human beings and projecting the humane spirit in all its variety and glory.Sumeet Singh was done to death at the young age of 30 at the hands of fanatics killing in the name of what they said was their religion.
Poonam Singh, his widow and later married as custom allowed and encouraged to Rati Kant Singh, a young brother of Sumeet’s, have been editing and publishing this magazine for the last 26years now. They were assissted by many sections of society as were eager to see the values passed on by generations well established for the future generations too.
Preet Lari TRUST ,a public trust, was made in 1995 and its Founder Chairperson was P H Vaishnav, a retd,. civil servant who was otherwise a non Punjabi, a Gujrati by birth, but had chosen to live and die in Punjab.The other trustees were Dr Man Singh Nirankari(now late),Mrs Santosh Balraj Sahni, Mrs Mohinder Navtej Singh and Mrs Poonam Singh.

So thanx to ratikant bhaji who advice me to achieve targate in life -Journalist bawa sidhu
Blog z get-up is very good…but it seems that you are busy and feel it difficult to spare time to maintain it properly…your replies are short…..It z great to continue this sort of blog in the days of ” almost anarchy” in every feild….Time is changed from the days of Respected Darji and Navtej….
should not some stories/article from Darji as well as Navtej be shared on this blog?? Or sm article from old issues of Preetlarhi??
That is a very good idea indeed. We hope to have some help with managing that.
Is there any way I can access the archives from the years 1940 to 1946 of Preetlari Magazine?
Much obliged.
Please remain in touch. We have digitised available issues. They should be online in the near future.
