Bathinda derives its name from the district headquarters city of Bathinda, which is of great antiquity. According to Khalifa Muhammad Hassan, author of History of Patiala, its ancient name was Bikramgarh. Bhatinda was changed to Bathinda to conform to the phonetical expression as locally pronounced. According to Henry George Raverty, Bathinda was known as Tabarhindh (Labb-ut-Twarikh). The earliest mention of Tabarhindh occurs in the Jami-Ul-Hakayat written about 607 Hijri or 1211 AD.

I was on a trip to Golden Temple - Sri Harmandar Sahib (Amritsar, Punjab) recently. Below is one of the few pictures I took while in Golden Temple. The scene above gives definition to the title of this blog post. There is no religion or cast at this holy place, all are equal. Do give your comments on this post.
