A WINDOW TO THE PAST
The SDBBS is very proud to have crossed an important milestone in its history. It is its 75th anniversary, or the Platinum Jubilee, which was celebrated in 1998 with great enthusiasm by all our members and well-wishers. It is heartening to note that the torch lit in 1923 by the small immigrant community which started the SDBBS is still burning bright and unswerving in its principal mission of upholding the Vedic traditions and values. Whilst SDBBS looks with pride by celebrating its 75th anniversary, let us go back in time to relive some of its past achievements, through this photo gallery.
Many of Sabha's records were lost during the World War II but the earliest available photograph dates back to 1928.
