Banda Singh Bahadur’s understanding and interpretation of the concept of sovereignty

Gurtej Singh, IAS & IPS (formerly)

Fragments clinging to fragments may have made it possible for Lucretius to identify objects, to “know and name them.” But slicing history into neat portions and trying to understand it fragment by fragment is perhaps not the best method of doing so. The Guru himself indicated that the effort of ten Nanaks has to be looked upon as inspired by unity of thought when he laid down the doctrine that all Nanaks in their ten human forms were to be regarded as one single Guru. The non-acceptance of the thesis is the single element that has marred understanding of the true import, purpose, direction and content of Sikh history. The tendency to interpret events in isolation, to consign them to carefully crafted niches, has marred the appreciation of the contribution of Banda and his companions. On account of this, ever since his sudden appearance on the Punjab scene and his equally dramatic exit from the world, Banda Singh Bahadur has remained an enigmatic figure defying comprehension. To add to it, even the conventional sources of history have not been properly mined to yield information about him and his work in the six years of intense activity allotted to him by history. The total disorientation of modern historians regarding the ethos of the Sikh movement, has taken its own toll. This has rendered them incapable of drawing conclusions from the clear messages emanating from the period. The expressive symbolism and rich imagery, that has fortunately been passed down fully intact, has not been adequately interpreted. This includes very expressive legends on the coins and official seal of the period, graphic description of Banda’s battles, new trends in the exercise of sovereign power, rather broad hints about hitherto unheard of power relationships in society and the palpable sympathy for the lowly and the abandoned sections as depicted in many contemporary documents that survive. Not the least is the spiritual inspiration of the movement that nudged everything rationally inexplicable into the realm of reality. Difficulties and mental reservations that impeded the objective assessment of Banda and his times also deserve mention. Contemporary Muslim historians use language that indicates the total frustration and shock at the enormity of unfolding events. Despite the intense admiration for Banda, which they expressed in equally intense hatred, they aligned themselves with the Mughal state which they further

identified closely with Islam and wrote from the perspective of rulers and their faith. Their influence has corrupted the vision of modern historians like Syad Muhammad Latif. Taking his cue from them, Latif, tried to weave the private purpose of demonising Banda with the presentation of history. The contemporary Hindu historians are conspicuous by their absence. Those of the later period (except perhaps Ganesh Das Wadhera) surrendered to the convenient dynastic ambitions of the Sikh rulers and the imperialistic demands of the British. The natural reluctance of patronage seekers to annoy people in authority for the sake of propagating the truth has not been pronounced in this part of the world. The Sikhs themselves had no use for the self-denying theory of polity propounded by the Guru and practiced by Banda. Rattan Singh Bhangu who alone could appreciate it, unfortunately betrays signs of succumbing to official propaganda unleashed by the state. To this he added a prejudice against Banda for his failure to establish a long lasting State. They chose the easy path of blaming him although the blame lay squarely at the door of those who deserted him at the crucial time. It went unnoticed that the dissenting Sikh leaders had cast away the collective success of the Sikhs in exchange for dreams of personal fulfilment, hoping to pass off desertion as better strategy. The Sikh historians were, clearly not attuned to making an objective assessment of Banda. For the Sikh potentates of the later period Banda was a revealing mirror and therefore an embarrassment. To believe that Banda came with just five arrows, five companions, only twenty-five soldiers and that the legacy of two and a half centuries did not travel with him to the Punjab from Nanded, is to completely go astray. The teachings, the spiritual training and examples set by the Gurus had yielded a plentiful harvest of honourable, autonomous individuals profoundly ‘ignorant of the rules of slavish behaviour’i They had been organised into the close-knit, militarily trained Order of the Khalsa which had been charged with extending God’s domain beyond the self. To those who ignore the magnitude of Banda’s epic performance and its worldwide ramifications, it becomes a mere expression of revenge, an orgy of violence by a vicious character and the macabre play of forces starved for political prominence. To ignore the ameliorating philosophy that Banda and his companions came with is to fall straight into the lap of motivated Mughal news-writers and to be reduced to the level of biased, short-sighted historians like Latif. Banda’s supposed deviation from the path of the Guru, also appears to be a fall-out of the sustained propaganda of the Mughal state. The strategy appears to have been finalised by Aurangzeb who assigned a pacifist role to the earlier Gurus. He is already on record as having asked Guru Gobind Singh

[I am before the public again after a brief interval. This was necessitated by several factors. I had gone to Thailand for about two weeks. Thereafter, I had to attend two important seminars at Punjabi University, Patiala. For one of them I was required to write a paper.The paper I wrote is presented below. I hope it will be of some use to those keen to know about Sikh polity and about Banda Singh Bahadur.]

to adopt the pacifist ways of the elders of his faith, He asked Wazir Khan to remind the Guru to avoid the trappings of political power and to shun deviation from the path of “other recluses and his own ancestors.”ii Banda was accused of having become the head of the ‘harmless sect’ of Nanakpanthis by ‘deception,’ of ‘collecting malcontent around him’ and of persuading them by ‘misrepresentation and deception to light the fires of discontent in Hindustan, the Punjab and the world.’ He was supposed to have ‘defiled the places of worship’ to have raised ‘the sword of oppression.’iii This official propaganda was fully or partially imbibed by later historians in varying degrees according to their persuasions. Latif finds Banda’s “policy (to be) directly opposed to Nanak and Govind Singh –.” He thereafter finds it safe to characterise him as a “wild beast -- a monster—(with) blood-thirsty propensities.”iv His conclusion is based on the perception that Banda’s revolution was merely a ‘Muslim-Sikh conflict.’v H. R. Gupta’s bold attempt to project Banda’s struggle as a Hindu led, Hindu supported “nationalist movement” appears untenable.vi Ahmed Shah Batalvi understood that the Guru administered amrit to Banda before bringing him to join the Khalsa at his camp in Nanded.vii Banda’s ‘revolt’ was characterised as the ‘Khalsa revolt.’viii Fugitives, who represented to the emperor to implore intercession, identified Banda as a ‘Sikh of the Guru.’ Banda used the Sikh terminology in addressing strangers. To him everyone was a ‘Singh.’ He urged the Hindus and the rulers of the hills to merge with the Khalsa. There is strong contemporary evidence that Banda was a follower of the Udasi order ‘founded’ by Baba Sri Chand son of Guru Nanak. This would make him fully aware of the Sikh mission and tenets even before he met the Guru. He always invited his visitors to take the pahul and to join the Khalsa.ix Several persons received the Khalsa pahul from him. The three prominent persons who accepted his invitation were Dindar Khan son of Jalal Khan Rohilla a minor ruler, Mir Nasiruddin a news-writer and Chhajju a Jat from Panjwar. He himself presided over the religious ceremonies of initiation.x Banda’s state papers bear ample evidence of their origin in the Sikh establishment. At Amritsar, Banda invited young men to embrace Sikhi, promising remission of land revenue and other rewards. Thereupon the people of Majha joined the Khalsa.xi Ganda Singh quotes a dated Punjabi manuscript to affirm that not only was Banda strictly following the instructions laid down in the Guru Granth but was also meticulously following the direction of Guru Gobind Singh.xii This evidence is sufficient to characterise Banda’s political undertaking as a revolution led by the Khalsa. Banda’s struggle was not against the Muslims or Islam as he himself stated in one of his official pronouncements.xiii He had to overcome a grave provocation to make this declaration of intent. The pronouncement came within months of the general order of extermination issued against the Sikhs by the emperor.xiv He was waging a war to empower the ordinary people. He aimed at establishing a state which was not faith specific. It belonged to all who lived within its territories. This makes him the head of a ‘People’s Republic.’ The most important institution that sustained the medieval state was the army. He recruited his

army from amongst the Sikhs as well as the Muslims. xv It possibly had a sprinkling of Hindus also though that cannot be readily ascertained as a fact. The ‘low-caste’ people who joined Banda were living on the fringes of Hindu society and had no love for it and readily became an integral part of the Society of the Khalsa by accepting the pahul. The ideological basis as well as the sheer enormity of the political strife needs to be fully imbibed. It was noticed as early as 1723 by the author of the Ibratnama that the happenings had been of an extraordinary nature and had constituted a formidable event.xvi Somewhat exaggerating the initial stages of the campaign, Asrar-e-Samadi, would have us believe that the Sikhs had defeated every noble of the empire.xvii They had defeated the Governor of Sarhind, the Faujdar of Ambala (Latif, 278) as also the Governor of Jalandhar. Muhammad Qasim, a contemporary and an eye-witness, is aghast at the “exiling of persons of status.” He finds the occurrences “strange, astonishing things that defy imagination.”xviii Latif quotes Iradat Khan, a contemporary, who appears to discern the deep ideological conflict that “determined to shake to very basis the true religion of Islam.”xix The politically conscious Mughal subjects decided that the happenings merited immediate declaration of jehad against the Sikhs.xx The Hindu subjects, not wanting to be left behind in patriotic fervour, liberally financed the jehadis. Description of the ‘holy warriors’ is available. All kinds of people, “learned men, mystics, scholars and pious men” who perceived a threat to the “pure community and the luminous Muslim law” made a common cause with the Lahore administration, put together a “godly army—a divine army.”. For the same author, Banda was an “anarchist.”xxi Ostensibly, a handful of “badly armed peasants,”xxii volunteers, without the means of fighting even a pack of dacoits, arrayed themselves against the most powerful empire of the times that had been ruling over them for eight centuries. The empire fielded, “Wazir Khan’s artillery, Mughal cavalry and cohorts of volunteer Muslim ghazis” against them.xxiii Even then the Sikh intervention did not prove to be a Quixotic venture, like charging at a windmill. Banda and his companions appear to have been fully determined and amply equipped morally and intellectually to establish a new kind of a polity (a people’s republic) to replace the ‘unjust and oppressive’ medieval Mughal state. They had carefully cultivated ideas and had fully worked out the proposition that they sought to implement. The coin, with profoundly meaningful inscription was struck immediately.xxiv The wording of the official seal was finalised without delay. At the very outset, the monarchical tendencies were discouraged. Banda appointed administrative functionaries. The concept of more than one person jointly governing an area was initiated. All notions of heredity were done away with and symbols of royalty were abandoned. Banda claimed no status higher than that of a leader without a specific territory to govern directly – assuming almost the position of a constitutional head of modern times. His model was copied copiously by the Sardars and misaldars of the early misal period. They dispensed with kingship, became indifferent to territorial possessions and abandoned the hereditary principles. Express consent of the governed became necessary to claim

3


dominion over a territory.xxv Ranjit Singh, popularly considered an absolute ruler, had to keep up appearances of abiding by Banda’s ideal.xxvi Leadership among Sardars went by merit and not by hereditary succession.xxvii

Objective of the Gurus is clear from their pronouncements, conduct and the nature of the institutions that they established. They sought to bring about a total change in the human character, the environment and the mode of governance. Though India was the centre of their activity, their concerns transcended borders and ignored barriers of all kind. They aimed at so arranging the spiritual, social, economic, political and psychological environment of human habitats so as to bring about a tension free and peaceful society in which human beings lived in perfect harmony, enjoyed an honourable existence enabling them to make limitless spiritual progress. The ever increasing desire to take humankind on that road becomes more and more pronounced with every successor Guru. Banda gives priority to the mission stipulated by the Guru when he emphatically announces in one of the few documents still in existence: ‘I have brought into existence the idyllic age of Truth (satyug).’xxviii If this element is missed in the making of Banda and the original nature of polity he created is ignored, the historian is likely to end up without a proper frame of reference in which to place his life and achievements. Integral to the understanding of Banda’s concept of sovereignty is also the interpretation of the emblems of authority used by him, Also relevant is the language of the state papers, the inscriptions on the official seal and the coins struck by him. These need to be understood in the context of the Sikh movement of which he was the most prominent political leader. It is not enough to attribute his style of exercising political authority to his being “unique, unpretentious and selfless” as has been done by one of our greatest historians.xxix The inscription on the official seal as reported to Bahadur Shah on July 6, 1710,xxx that is within about thirty-six days of the assumption of sovereign power, reads, ‘the manifest and the un-manifest glory of Guru Nanak (lies in insisting that) the True Lord Himself is the King in the spiritual world as also in the temporal.’ This sentiment finds ample support in the bani of Guru Granth.xxxi Banda is thereby repudiating the conventional theory of sovereignty and is promulgating a new doctrine whereby the sovereign power inheres in God and by derivation vests with the people. He follows up the pronouncement by abolishing monarchy. The Sikh political leaders of the misl period belonged to or at least were descendants in interest of those who had deserted Banda. Even then they had to tread cautiously in the matter of defying Banda’s political formulation. Later on Ranjit Singh had to wage a heavily veiled ideological war of sorts to scuttle the theory and to pave the way for hereditary succession. An attempt may be made to understand the legends on Banda’s coins and the official seal. One on the coin appears to state the general approach of the Khalsa Order, ‘the Sikhs assert that the central import of the doctrine of Nanak bears fruit in both the worlds. By the Grace of the True Master, victory belongs to Guru Gobind Singh, the King of Kings.’xxxii The one on the seal is more specific and relates to the business of the government ‘Victory flows effortlessly

to the concepts of power relationships and the management of resources, formulated by the ever victorious Guru, Nanak, Gobind Singh.’xxxiii His letter to the Khalsa of Jaunpur may be translated as follows:xxxiv God is 1. (May you always) behold victory!xxxv It is the order of the True Master that the Sarbat Khalsa of Jaunpur be saved by the Guru. For redeeming the (human) birth, contemplate upon the Guru and repeat his name. You are the Khalsa of the respected Akalpurakh (the Immortal Being). Wear five weapons on seeing this order and be immediately seen in the presence. Abide by the code of conduct of the Khalsa: do not consume any cannabis, tobacco, opium, poppy husk, alcohol or intoxicant. Do not eat fish or onions. Shun extra-marital affair and do not steal. I have provided for the ‘age of Truth’ to prevail. Maintain mutual affection. The Guru shall reach out to him who obeys my direction to conform to the Khalsa code of conduct. The date is the 12th of Poh, the 1st year. Lines: ten. [December 12, 1710 CE] In the above letter and legends Banda is conveying that he is a supporter of a new revolutionary theory of polity and favours a complete change in the political, economic and social relationships. The legend on Banda’s seal of office implies: triumph attends upon Guru Nanak’s and Gobind Singh’s formulations that generously dispense political power and resources (means of subsistence).’ This, he believes, is the import of the central doctrine of the faith of the Guru grounded in the Will of the Immortal Being. The basic postulates impinging upon the primary human concerns are to be translated into workable principles benefiting the entire humankind under the guidance of the strictly disciplined and fully armed (and therefore, sovereign) Khalsa. This, he claims, is capable of transforming all kinds of human relations that are henceforth to be based on complete tolerance and mutual understanding. Such a world, he feels, is so radically different from the one in existence that it can be described as the ‘age of Truth’ or a revolutionary era wherein human affairs are regulated strictly according to Truth (justice) leading to the elimination of conflict. He believes that implementing these postulates is the purpose of life, the very goal of spiritual striving. In the other letter to the congregation of Bhai Rupa, he specifically promises ‘everlasting felicity’ (nihal hovega) to those who would give armed support to the sovereignty of the common people initiated by him. At the earliest the Sikh administration dismissed the oppressive revenue collectors, the very face of the Mughals to the people. They overturned the Zamindari system,xxxvi the cornerstone of the Mughal administration. It changed the mode of revenue collection, making it more humane. This fact alone continued to draw a large number of adherents to the society of the Khalsa that led the Sikh movement until it permanently overthrew the Mughal state at the end of the 18th century. At the centre of Banda’s scheme of governance were the ordinary people whose express consent in respect to their governors became necessary for the first time in history. Besides drawing high officials from amongst them, the

4


administration was required to integrate their concerns with the philosophy of governance and the policy of the state. Political and administrative power was used to elevate the humble and to empower the lowest amongst the low. Since it was the people’s government, persons of humble origins were appointed to prestigious posts neglecting the aristocratic and the supposedly high born individuals.xxxvii Consequently came about a revolutionary change in the power relationship, thus earning for the Sikh people the epithet of “topsy-turvy sect” from Warid writing in 1734.xxxviii The basic principles of polity then propagated remained in vogue until the very end of Ranjit Singh’s rule. Far reaching reforms did not remain confined to politics and administration only. A complete change was brought about in the social relations. Centuries old prejudices were eliminated and religious injunctions emanating in the ancient scriptures were rendered inoperative.xxxix Gupta projects Banda as a “great reformer,” who “broke down the barriers of caste.”xl All accounts agree that Banda and his companions exhibited extreme bravery in the grossly unequal battles they fought.xli They without doubt believed that they were a people charged by their Guru with bringing the fire of liberty, the warmth of human dignity and the supreme comfort of honourable existence to the people of the world. After their Guru, they were the first promoters of self-rule. They took up the serious business with missionary zeal and on expectation of the ultimate reward: that of supreme spiritual satisfaction (achieving the state of ‘nihal’ or eternal bliss). A glimpse of the captured Sikh soldiers has been afforded to us by history. Their demeanour, their morale under extreme stress and in the face of certain death betrays the mettle of highly spiritualised voluntary soldiers leading a liberation struggle. It sees them mocking their captors and executioners.xlii They stood by their convictions to the end and their pride in the loftiness of their cause was not diminished.xliii A foreign Embassy present in Delhi found it “remarkable” that the Sikhs underwent their fate with equanimity and that none apostatised from their religion.xliv “Before execution an offer was made to spare their lives if they could become Musalman. None volunteered to do so.”xlv A newly married young man, the only son of a widow was inspired to adopt the Sikh way on seeing the suffering of the captives. He was pardoned on the intercession of his mother and wife who claimed that he was not a Sikh. He declined to avail the reprieve,xlvi Whosoever he was, this young man appears to have had a better understanding of the Sikh faith and the purpose of Banda. His sacrifice was symbolic. There is little doubt that he wished his example to find many takers. Even Latif feels compelled to acknowledge the fortitude of Banda and his companions in extremely trying circumstances.xlvii Such loftiness of spirit is not the equipment of a people motivated by mundane considerations. The reaction betrays a people more divinely inspired than highly motivated in the mundane sense. They claimed to be God’s army and supported their claim with their conduct. Assessment of Banda’s role, contribution and importance in history

The high minded Banda was one of the noblest idealists thrown up by the Sikh movement in the post-Guru period. His life is but a philosophical treatise that the Guru ‘wrote’ to preserve his vision of ideal human society of the future thereby recording the contribution of the Sikh movement to the slowly emerging new world civilisation of the Guru’s conception. His emphasis on making the people’s concern the basis of political action, his insistence on drawing no distinction between citizens on the basis of religion, rank or caste, his stress on the importance of the individual and above all his successful attempt at organising the world’s first people’s party for political action, of rooting it in non-denominational popular ideology and of accepting it as the true essence of spiritual striving, is remarkable by any standards of any age. He is the greatest person of modern times; in fact, his career bids good-bye to the dark ages and ushers in the modern times. If a Mozart of the future ever composes a symphony depicting his career, it will have the most elevating effect on the human spirit. He must be regarded as a remarkable man who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the noblest of any culture of any region of any age. In their martyrdom which they courted so enthusiastically, Banda and his companions immortalised themselves, not only as the champions of people’s causes but also placed themselves amongst the most pure minded of martyrs. Together they make the most awesome seven hundred that the world has ever seen and constitute a befitting tribute to their Guru. They did not ride “into the valley of death” mindlessly and in pursuance of an erroneous mortal command but consciously chose to fulfil a spiritual purpose. To somexlviii believers in the largely Judeo-Christian concept of millennialism, which also finds reflection in Islamic thought, Banda proposed a revolutionary solution to all the spiritual, personal, social and political predicaments of humankind. Muslim chroniclers of Banda are also apparently overwhelmed by the salvationary content of his assignment. They unwittingly cast him into the role of a Mahdi. The spontaneity, the egalitarian character, the total revolution it brought about in power relations, the firm grounding in spiritualism and the intense desire to establish an idyllic socio-political order dreamt of by some of the greatest benefactors of humankind, all combine to characterise Banda’s effort as an expression of an aspect of “progressive millennialism.” 1 Asrar-e-Samadi, (tr.)

Such is the intensity of his nationalistic fervour that he brushes aside the need to cite a source for this branch of ‘evidence,’ thereby risking his own reputation as a historian. Against ample available evidence he pits his bare assertion that Banda did not receive pahul. He represents even Guru Gobind Singh, who pulled him out

5


of complete obscurity to the centre stage of history, of conspiring against Banda to prevent his becoming popular among the Sikhs. In his opinion, Tara Bai inspired him at least as much as the Guru. For him Malerkotla was spared from ravage, not by the Guru’s blessing, but on the intervention of one Kishan Das Bania a fictitious character. Gupta even assigns a language (Hindvi) to Banda that supposedly charmed the Hindus into supporting him. History of the Sikhs, vol.ii, (1978), Munshiram Manoharlal Publishers Pvt. Ltd., Delhi.1992, pp. 8, 4, 7 and 3. He exaggerates the welcome that Banda received in the ‘Haryana’ region, whereas it is known; “it was not surprising that in some areas the zamindars apparently Jats, who had supported Banda were unable to accept pahul, turned against the Sikhs. Towards the south-east of Sirhind, in the plains of Ambala, Thanesar and Karnal, Banda’s success was transient. In 1712 only seventeen persons of the entire non-Muslim population of Thanesar could be identified as Sikhs. Fourteen of them were willing to become Muslims to avoid torture and death.” Muzafar Alam, The Crisis of Empire in Mughal North India, Oxford University Press, Delhi, 1997, p. 154; Rattan Singh Bhangu goes to the extent of saying that the Hindu recipients of Banda’s military favours in the vicinity of Delhi invited and joined the Mughal faujdar of Kaithal in curbing Banda’s insurgency.(See, Sri Gur Panth Parkash, Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee, Amritsar, 1984, p. 132; The Hindus (apparently the Khatris and other trading communities) of Lahore financed the voluntary effort of the Saiyids to fight against the Sikhs. They joined hands with the Muslims in according a welcome to such Mughal forces as could score victories over the Sikhs.

Cit., p. 15 quoting Gian Singh and Yar Muhammad, Dastur-ul-Insha as quoted by Karam Singh. 1 Ganda Singh quotes a Punjabi MS Pothi (dated 1779 CE, p. 292a.) According to it Banda says, “best worship for a king is to be just, is written in the Holy Granth. Those who do not administer justice are cast into hell. – Thus spoke to me the Great Man [Guru Gobind Singh]. If you call yourselves the Sikhs of the Great Man, do not practise sin, adharma and injustice. Raise up true Sikhs and smite those who do un-Sikh like acts. Bear the saying of the Great Man in your hearts,” Ganda Singh, Life of Banda Singh Bahadur, (Reprint), Punjabi University, Patiala, p. 168. An echo of

these instructions imparted to Banda can also be heard in Kesar Singh Chibbar, Bansawalinama Dasan Patshahian ka, (ed.)

SIKHS AND THE REPUBLIC DAY (January 26th, 1950) OF THE "INCORPORATION OF

BRAHMINS-HINDUS" alias the alleged Indian democracy: as Dr Sekhon views it

Dr. Awatar Singh Sekhon

On this fateful day of January 26th, 1950 the Sikh representatives of the 'Landless Sikh Nation, PUNJAB (under the occupation of the 'Brahmins-Hindus' alleged Incorporation since August 15th, 1947)' "rejected" the Indian Constitution 1950, in the Incorporation's parliament called Lok Sabha, In fact, the very document has been 'rejected' twice earlier by the Sikhs before it was adopted in the parliament to govern the ‘Incorporation’. The Sikhs' representatives, gave a crystal clear message to Lok Sabha/parliament, out rightly 'rejected' the Constitution, because it did not meet their aspirations and the Sikh Code of Conduct. Consequently, the Sikh representatives walked out in protest from Lok Sabha. It was the Sikhs' message to the 'Brahmins-Hindus' Incorporation that the "Constitution has nothing to do with the Sikhs; rather it is like committing suicide for the Sikhs if it were accepted". None of the Sikhs elected representavies had signed/endorsed/accepted the Indian Constitution 1950 since it was accepted by the parliament against the wishes of the Sikhs of the 'Landless Sikh Nation, PUNJAB'. This was the 'third' time when the Sikhs' elected representatives 'rejected' the Constitution, in its draft and final forms, in the parliament (i. e., 1948, November 26th, 1949 and 1950). The Sikh representatives who rejected the Constitution were Sardar Hukam Singh and Sardar Bhupinder Singh Maan, both members of the parliament. Subsequently, Sirdar Kapur Singh, ICS, MP, MLA, and the National Professor of Sikhism not only "rejected" it on the fourth time, but also told the Brahmin-Hindu members that 'it is not worth the paper written on it'. He did it on behalf of the Sikhs of their Holy and Historical Homeland, PUNJAB, now the "Landless Sikh Nation" since August 15th, 1947. This was the day when the 'Brahmins-Hindus' Incorporation 'robbed' the Sikhs of PUNJAB, the Sikh Nation, Sikh Raj, of monarch Ranjit Singh, 1799 to March 14th, 1849. The Sikh Raj, PUNJAB, of Monarch Ranjit Singh was the "First Sovereign and Secular" nation of South Asia; whereas, the 'Brahmins-Hindus' had been 'subservient' to the Afghans, Mughals, Sikhs, British, Portuguese, etc., for more than 3,500 years and until the morning hours of August 15th, 1947 until the British Empire's agent granted political power to the class of 'subservient' on a platter. Right after receiving the political power, the Incorporation 'robbed' the 'Sikh Nation, Punjab, made it a colony of the Incorporation. With this the Brahmins-Hindus Incorporation started following 'colonialism' right since August 15th, 1947. That is, the Landless Sikh Nation now became a colony of the Brahmins-Hindus’ imperialism. It should be noted that the Sikh Nation, PUNJAB, as 'annexed' by the British Empire since March 29th, 1849 remained ‘annexed’ until the early hours of August 15th, 1947, i. e., until the political power was handed over to the 'unelected' leaders of the Incorporation. After receiving political reign from the British India’s agent, it became merely a ‘requirement’ to ‘rob’ the Sikh Nation, Punjab, as a colony of the Incorporation. Right after the 'robbery' of the Sikh Nation, PUNJAB (under the

occupation of the 'Incorporation') and making the Sikhs a 'Landless Sikh Nation', the Incorporation's hierarchy consisting of JL Nehru-CL Trivedi-VB Patel, the trio, the prime minister, governor of Punjab and Home Minister of the Incorporation, respectively, issued a secret circular to the District Commissioners of Punjab, ordering them the "Sikhs are a lawless people, they are dangerous to the law-abiding Hindus [including the Brahmins] and they must be dealt with firmly." This was the second back-stabbing of the Sikhs of the 'Landless Sikh Nation', PUNJAB, the Sikh Raj, which has been continuing its "Struggle To Regain Their Sovereignty, Independence and Political power, by peaceful means, from the British Empire, since March 14th, 1849." This was the day when the Sikh Raj/Nation's forces surrendered to the British Empire and 'Not' to any 'Brahmins or Hindus'. The struggle of the Sikhs for their Sikh Nation, Punjab, by the Sikhs has been continuing peacefully, without any interruption, since March 14th, 1849. The Sikhs' struggle is a pain in the neck of the 'Incorporation’. Since the 'robbery by the Incorporation' of the Sikh Nation and declaring the Sikhs a 'lawless people' on October 10th, 1947, the Incorporation failed to fulfill its promises made to the Sikhs in the pre-15th August, 1947 era (see Sekhon AS 2009 in 25 Years After 1984 Assault on Darbar Sahib Laying the Foundation of Khalistan (ed) Dr A S Sekhon ISBN 0-9548929-4-1; a publication of the London Institute of South Asia <www.lisauk.com>. Rather, when seeing that their 'robbery' of the 'Landless Sikh Nation' did not serve their expected results: (i) making them 'Hindus' (neither a religion nor a culture, according to the Hindu, Sikh and Sir VT Rajshekar) in accordance with Article 25 of the Indian Constitution of the 1950's that was 'rejected' by the Sikhs, (ii) killings of Sikhs in the Narela Conference of Akalis, for example, a young man Kaka Inderjit Singh who was 9-year-old (Dilgeer HS and Sekhon AS 1992 ISBN 0-96954-0-5; Sekhon, AS Dilgeer HS 2006 in A WHITE PAPER ON KHALISTAN (A TRUE STORY) THE SIKH NATION , Third Edition, ISBN 0-9695964-8-0; a publication of The Sikh Educational Trust), and (iii) betrayal of the Sikh Nation by a Brahmin, Master Tara Singh, converted to the 'House of Guru Baba Nanak Sahib' (Ram Singh 2009 Betrayal of Sikh Nation by Master Tara Singh ISBN 978-0-9811360-6-6), etc. The Incorporation, according to the author (Dr. Sekhon) found it difficult to ignore the just and rightful demands of the Sikhs of the 'Landless Sikh nation', as promised by the Brahmins-Hindus of the British India Empire. Accordingly, the plans were hatched to (i) exterminate the Sikhs of the 'Landless Sikh Nation, Punjab', by the Incorporation headed by JL Nehru, the architect of the anti-Sikh policies of Incorporation alias the 'Brahmins-Hindus' alleged Indian democracy, (ii) reduce the Sikhs in the Incorporation's armed forces from 36% to less than 1.9%, (iii) hatching a plan to get rid of the senior Sikh generals of the armed forces by the hook or by the crook. The helicopter crash near Kud in the Internationally Disputed Areas of Jammu and Kashmir, which took the lives of

brave Lt. Gen like Bikram Singh, Daulat Singh, Pinto and others in November '64 are a prime example (Sekhon AS 2010 The Sikhs: Sovereignty To Slavery ISBN 0-978-9811360-8-0, (iv) Incorporation's of the early 1970s, especially the pogroms'massacre of Sikhs in 1978 in Amritsar, (v) fake encounter killings of the Sikhs, the Sikh youth in particular (with the notion that Sikhs are criminals and 'No Hindu-Brahmin can be criminal’ in PUNJAB', to cite the least (see Dilgeer HS and Sekhon AS 1992 ISBN 0-9695964-0-5). It must be noted that in the late 1970s, two Brahmins or Pandey brothers carried out successfully the first air piracy of South Asia of an Indian Airlines plane to secure the release of their beloved Congress leader, Indira Gandhi, from imprisonment under the Bhartiya Janta Party’s administration. Later, these criminals (Pandey brothers) were made law-makers (MLA) of the U P Legislative assembly at the recommendation of their leader, Indira Gandhi alias Maimuna Begum (www.krishnajnehru.blogspot.com of 6/8/2009; who says the crime does not pay in the Incorporation?). To suppress and exterminate Sikhs of the 'Landless Sikh Nation, PUNJAB', Indira Gandhi intensified her plans against the Sikhs, deliberate disruption of the ‘law and order’, and slandering of the Sikhs, calling them a 'lawless community' and to call them 'miscreants, terrorists, uncooperative, anti-nationals, including the famous 'Destruction of Air India Flight 182' on June 23rd, 1985, off the western coast of Ireland (Sekhon AS 2010 Int J Sikh Affairs 20(2), 2-7 ISSN 1481-5435). Here are a few examples. To make the Sikhs 'terrorists', the Incorporation's armed, intelligence, foreign missions, including the Research and Analysis Wing under RN Kao, which had its office in India Gandhi's official residence in New Delhi, etc., were employed to wage an 'undeclared' war in the form of "Operation Bluestar" of June, 1984. This undeclared war took a toll of more than 260,000 innocent and unarmed Sikh toddlers, children, youth, male and female folks, and elderly folks between the period of 1st and 6th of June 1984, along with a few ‘saviors’ of the Darbar Sahib Complex who faced a huge armed forces of the ‘Incorporation’. Fo what? The ‘undeclared war’ was to get rid of the Sikhs of the 'Landless Sikh Nation, PUNJAB (under the Incorporation's occupation since August 15th, 1947) and to assimilate the 'Landless Sikh Nation, PUNJAB, into the ‘Incorporation’, once and for all. It is noteworthy that the Sikhs have 'No Constitutional Rights in the Indian Constitution of 1950. The Constitution 'rejected' by the Sikhs' elected representatives in 1948, November 26th, 1949, 1950 and more recently on September 6th, 1965 is indicative of the 'Brahmins and their Hindu followers being the enemies of the Sikhs. The Sikhs did not accept Indira Gandhi's partition of the 'Landless Sikh Nation PUNJAB' into Punjab (attacked by the 'undeclared' war as described and made a 'CONCENTRATION CAMP' in the "Operation Bluestar era in June, 1984), Haryana and Himachal Pradesh as well as other Punjabi-speaking areas surrounding the 'Landless Sikh Nation', against the wishes of the 'Landless Sikh nation, PUNJAB’ in 1966. Additionally, the Incorporation took away the control of the Punjab’s Rivers Water Reservoir, the Bakhra-Nangal Dam, and gave Punjab's waters to the neighboring 'Hindu-Brahmin' states/provinces without any compensation to PUNJAB, the Punjab river waters' by-products (electricity and so on), etc. This has been the Incorporation's heavy handedness. In fact, the 'robbery' of the 'Landless Sikh Nation, Punjab, Khalistan, has been continuing till the day of this writing. The 'Landless Sikh Nation' has been denied any heavy industry, IT industry, schools are without teachers, making the Landless Sikh Nation, PUNJAB, a nation of 'illiterates'. These policies are pursued actively since the 'undeclared war' and making Punjab a 'CONCENTRATION CAMP' permanently, as described above. More than 70,000 agriculture-dependent families

were forced to commit suicide in 6-districts of PUNJAB, and this process has been continuing in the Punjab and other non-Brahmin-Hindu states at the rate of 17,000 families per year. Both the Incorporation and its blessed administration of Prakash (Hanera/Darkness) Sinh Badal, an agent of RAW, have been keeping over 10,000 Sikh youth (now young men and young ladies) in the Incorporation and Punjab's jails, since the 'undeclared' war of June, 1984, waged on the Sikh Nation, PUNJAB. It must be stated that Sardar Balwant Singh Rajoana, Professor Davinder Pal Singh Bhullar (both on death row), Bhai Daljit Singh Bittu and associates are kept deliberately in the Incorporation’s jails. The question arises when the Sikhs of the 'Landless Sikh Nation, PUNJAB, have no Constitutional Rights and the Sikhs have not accepted to-date the Incorporation's Constitution, the Indian Constitution of 1950, then under what Constitutional law have the Sikhs been kept in jails and the Incorporation is out to give capital punishment to Sardar Balwant Singh Rajoana, Professor Bhullar and their fellow citizens of the 'Landless Sikh Nation'? The Brahmins-Hindus' Incorporation has been holding the Sikhs' Holy and historic nation's apex institutions, the Darbar Sahib Complex, Sikhs' Supreme Seat of Polity, The Akal Takht Sahib, and Gurdwaras under its 'Tight Control'. What a democratic sham the Indian democracy is! Also, the ministers at the Darbar Sahib Complex are the ‘cronies’ of their master, Prakash (Hanera/Darkness) Sinh Badal and the Akali Dal-Badal Private Limited, Incorporation. It must be noted by the citizens of the 'Landless Sikh Nation, Punjab, Khalistan' that the 'Brahmins-Hindus' are out to 'swallow' the Sikhs as described by the founder of Sikhism, Baba Guru Nanak Sahib, that: "Mathe Tikka Terrh Dhotti Kakhaii Hath Chhurri Jagat Kasai," which means that these barbarous Brahmin-Hindu butchers of our peaceful world are all out to destroy the Sikhs, Sikh religion (5th largest religion of our world), Sikh culture, Sikh Code of Conduct/Sikh Maryada; along with the non-Brahmin-Hindu nationalities. The last and not the least question is the turbaned Brahmins-Hindus in 'The Sikh Identity'. The Sikhs have to realize that by participating in the Incorporation's so-called election process, under the Indian Constitution of 1950, 'rejected' repeatedly by their elected representatives, what are these turbaned Brahmins-Hindus trying to prove? In the author's view, they all have been 'back stabbing' Sardar Hukam Singh, Sardar Bhupinder Singh Maan, Sirdar Kapur Singh, ICS, MP, MLA and National Professor of Sikhism, and more than 3.4 million (34-lakh, Int J Sikh Affairs 20(2), 24, 2010 ISSN 1481-5435) Sikhs (martyrs) exterminated by the Incorporation since August 15th, 1947. Shame on you the power hungry turbaned 'Brahmins-Hindus' in 'The Sikh Identity'. Shame to the Brahmins-Hindus’ Incorporation and its demoncracy alias democracy, the killers and organizers of the ‘Sikhs genocide, pogroms, etc. The day of January 26th should be regarded as the 'Black day for the Landless Sikh Nation, PUNJAB’, and other non-Brahmins-Hindus' minorities as well. Further, Khalsaji, Gurbani (Sikh Guru Sahibaans’ teachings inscribed in Guru Granth Sahib) says: “Man Maila Such Nirmala Kionka Miliya Jaye, Prabh Mele Tan Mil Rahe Haume Shabad Jalaye.” All these turbaned Hindus-Brahmins have been deceiving the ‘Landless Sikh Nation’, since August 15th, 1947. May the Almighty bless you, the Guru Khalsa Panth alias the Landless Sikh Nation, along with the mankind

The US is all set to make India a global power

Asif Haroon Raja

Holy Quran distinctly spells out that Jews and Christians can never be trusted friends of Muslims. Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) had stated well over 1400 years ago that the entire world of non-Muslims is a single band that works on one frequency. His prediction is coming true when seen in context with present day global geo-political environments. The armies of the whole non-Muslim world have ganged up against the Muslims and are persecuting them since 2001. Even non-Muslim countries which were enmeshed in centuries old enmity and have been drawing blood of each other have forgotten their hostility and have joined hands and picked up cudgels against common enemy. Jewish-Christian alliance against Islam when seen in historical perspective needs no emphasis. Country like India which till 1991 had remained in the forefront of non-aligned movement during the Cold War has made a u-turn on its policy of anti-western imperialism and has got aligned with imperialist USA. This is notwithstanding that Indo-US friendship and collaboration to an extent is restricted to terrorism.

Soon after partition of India in August 1947, India had tilted towards Moscow. This tilt was much to the chagrin of USA. Despite its wooing, India under Nehru dynasty refused to move out of the lap of Moscow and befriend Washington.

Eisenhower, President of USA from 1953 to 1961 had tried to convince Nehru to make India part of anti-communist alliance but failed. He paid an official visit to India in 1959 to somehow convince Indian leadership to join up with USA to contain growing power of China but didn’t solicit encouraging response. John F Kennedy made concerted efforts to pullout India from Soviet camp and to make it stand up against China but couldn’t make any headway. Although India had come fully under the umbrella of USSR, but it never strained its relations with USA the way Pakistan had spoilt its relations with USSR after it joined western defence pacts. Even when India supported Soviet invasion and occupation of Afghanistan in December 1979 and castigated US policies, it didn’t mar Indo-US relations.

The 1965 and 1971 Indo-Pak wars also didn’t cast adverse effects on working relations of India and USA. The US should have ethically provided all out material and moral support to Pakistan since it was its ally and member of SEATO and CENTO. On the contrary, it stopped flow of defence items which were in the pipeline and imposed economic and military sanctions. In the 1971 war, the US gave false hopes to Pakistan that its 7th Fleet was on its way and would come to the rescue of beleaguered Pak military

troops in erstwhile East Pakistan but it never came. Gen Yahya regime naively kept waiting not realizing that a non-Muslim ally would never come to the aid of a Muslim country particularly when it is fighting against a non-Muslim country. Conversely, Soviet Union provided full support to India before and during the war to breakup Pakistan into two halves.

India benefited a great deal from its closeness with USSR in terms of development of its economy and military strength. Moscow became the biggest supplier of arms to India and in expanding its defence industrial base. Indo-Soviet intimacy remained unbroken till the collapse of Soviet Union. Even after India shifted into US lap, their relationship remained cordial. Defence, economic and nuclear deals are still being signed and 70% of Indian forces weaponry is Russian origin. What is however noteworthy is that when the Soviet empire was on deathbed and gasping for breath, India didn’t even wait for its demise. It hastened to abandon the sinking ship and climbed aboard the ship of USA. In order to develop intimate relations with the sole super power which it had been criticizing, India thought it necessary to build relations with Israel and European Union. Indo-US collaboration in various fields nurtured throughout the 1990s.

When India under extremist Hindu party BJP led by Atal Bihari Vajpayee carried two nuclear tests on 11 May 1998 and three more on 13 May, it created a stir in the world. A visible change came in the attitudes of Indian leaders towards Pakistan and they started behaving arrogantly. Temporary economic sanctions were levied by USA and Japan on India to show to the world that USA was evenhanded in its dealings; however sanctions were removed in September 2001 since India was not a Muslim state and was a secular state. One doesn’t have to recount the anger of US leadership when Pakistan conducted similar tests.

India could not have risked carrying out five nuclear tests without tacit understanding of US President Bill Clinton. In fact, nuclear tests led to further warming of Indo-US ties. This was evident from visit of Clinton to India in March 2000 who laid the foundation of Indo-US strategic relationship. It was the first step to make India a regional power and pave its way towards attaining big power status.

9/11 came as God given opportunity for India to become a key country for USA in its dealings with this region. It managed to convince Washington that like USA India was also a victim of terrorism. Israel played its role in assigning

10

a key role to India in future regional affairs particularly in Afghanistan. Afghan adventure lent strength to Indo-US-Israeli nexus. So-called champions of democracy and human rights who had earned the notoriety of worst abusers of human rights decided to sail in one boat and jointly execute the slaughter of Muslims under the guise of terrorism and to attain their common strategic and economic objectives.

In January 2004, Indo-US relationship crossed another milestone in the field of defence collaboration. In 2005, process of joint Indo-US naval exercises commenced. In order to protect US-Israeli commercial interests in Indian Ocean and to keep an eye on activities of Muslim countries, George W Bush declared India as the policemen of Indian Ocean. In this context, it was planned to entrust Indian Navy with the responsibility of protecting sea lanes from Suez Canal up till Singapore.

In April 2005, another Indo-US agreement termed as ‘open sky’ was signed. Purpose behind the deal was to remove all restrictions imposed by Israel and USA and to open avenues for two-way free transactions. Cooperation in the fields of defence, civil nuclear technology, space and high technology were strengthened during the state visit of Indian PM to Washington in July 2005. On the visit of Bush to India in March 2006, tens of defence, economic and trade deals were inked and a commitment for awarding civil nuclear technology given. In December, the US Congress approved the nuclear deal despite knowing that India had not signed CTBT.

Award of civil nuclear deal by Bush Administration was meant to convert India into a global power. IAEA Board of Governors meeting in August 2008 gave a go-ahead signal to Nuclear Suppliers Group to supply nuclear material to India. Barack Obama has now reconfirmed that India has emerged as the regional and global power. Contracts worth $10 billion were signed during his visit to India in November 2010. India has also been given proxy power in Afghanistan against Pakistan. All the three US presidents have played a part in upgrading the standing of India and in projecting it as a counterweight to China.

The US Civil nuclear deal has allowed India the right to reprocess spent nuclear fuel of US origin. Whatever restrictions imposed on transfer of technology was removed by Obama. The US is all set to welcome India in the nuclear club of five and to make it permanent member of UNSC. The US will support India’s admission in four multilateral export control regimes including Nuclear Suppliers Group and Missile Technology Control Regime. All these are clear signs that Washington has made up its mind to make India a global power.

Our leaders are however still convinced that the US is Pakistan’s trusted friend and will not take any direct or indirect step to harm Pakistan’s interests. They seem to have accepted US decision to make India a global power.

Brigadier Asif Haroon Raja

Piare Bhai Sahib Asif Haroon Raja ji,

Aslaam O Alaikum!

I enjoy your write-ups on India alias the ‘Brahmins-Hindus Incorporation’, hereafter termed as the Incorporation. The present one entitled, ‘The U S is all set to make India a global power’. Indeed in the times we are in, one may agree with your title, especially since the state visit to India alias Incorporation’. The incorporation which looks more like a police state than a 'global power'; as referred by the Congressman Dana Rohrabacher of the United States. Congressman said, "as far as the Sikhs and non-Hindu minorities are concerned, India might as well be a Nazi Germany.” There has been a behavior change evident in the relations between the U S and the Incorporation since the visit. Undoubtedly, both the international news media and the state-controlled Incorporation’s news media tried their utmost to raise the image of the latter; unfortunately, relations failed to sustain effectiveness as seen during the days of visit, although they are described cordial in diplomatic terms. There have been many

situations, which are pre-requisite for a country that has 50% hungry mouths or more and to be called a ‘global power' or a country highly anxious to enjoy the status of a global power. Before I put my views on a global power, I would like to invite your attention and the readership as well to consider critically whether a country deserves to be called a global power where the 'Brahmins-Hindus' parliament or Lok Sabha’s business remains virtually stanstill at the time of this writing. Besides, more than 70% parliamentarians, with the criminal records (see The Economist, July 15, 1995) have no trust in each other, seeking answers from the Chief, Council of Minister, the New Delhi administration, Manmohan Sinh (a non-elected member of parliament, but serving the agenda of his Madam Sonia Maino alias Gandhi, the Congress and more so of the Brahmins-Hindus political parties at large), of the Ghotalas or corruption at mass, is mum and speechless, having no tongue to speak or appoint committees or commissions after the committees or commissions. He walks by the state-controlled news media without uttering a word of their concerns or questions. My question here is how could the Incorporation be a 'global power' where the chief of cabinet is a ‘non-elected’ person and has not been elected by the electorates from any corner the global power, so-to-speak. I have been asking questions whether there has been a head of state, prime minister or president, in any democratic country, who is a non-elected of any democratically elected parliament or congress (i. e., the Congress of the United States of America) in our world. As far as the author is concerned, unless he is proven wrong, the head of a democratic


11


institution has to be elected by his/her people. Neither in the history of the U K, USA or any other democratic country, does there appear to be any example in the history of these nations that their chief of state institution was a non-elected person. As far as the Chief, Council of Ministers, of the Incorporation is concerned, the criminal (70%) or non-criminal elected people (MLAs or MPs), a great majority of them are the Brahmins-Hindus (4% and11%), out of a total population of 1.2 billion, have been abusing or even raping the ‘institution of democracy’ of the Incorporation. Under these circumstances, how could the U S and the international news media make the Incorporation a 'global power'?

Indeed, the U S needs a friend in South Asia to do some work(?) or look after its interests. I could agree with this notion, but the Incorporation cannot be trusted for the political matters. The U S desperately needs a so-called friend but it has not to be a 'global power'. The U. S. had friend(s) but, unfortunately, has lost in the global arena; especially in South Asia. How could the U S find a friend now, when their own appointed person, as the President of Afghanistan, Hameed Karzai, has failed to look after the interests of those who appointed him? At the time of this writing, the US knows perfectly well that (i) it has remained unsuccessful to suppress the Afghans, the people remain to be undefeatable in the history of South Asia, and (ii) the U S knows, even its policy makers advised the administration to “Break up the Afghanistan’s neighbor, Pakistan,” from the world map (see National Post 11th September, 2010, FP 21; J Sikh Affairs 20(2), 2010 ISSN 1481-5435), a highly ill-advised proposition; and (iii) remotely to call a person known as 10 – 25% of Pakistan to Washington, DC, highly hated by the people/Awam of Pakistan,. The latter option is not worth considering, or worth the paper to write on it, because whenever this person visits the U S, will ask bluntly, what is for me (to the U S administration) in the author’s opinion? He has nothing to offer to his people, but certainly he would like to have for himself. It is not that the Islamic Republic of Pakistan lacks sincere and highly competent politicians, diplomats, political scientists, and other professionals who will, once again, take their country to play the game in the ‘World Arena of Politics’; even much better than the hopeless and highly corrupt foreign and civil personnel of the Incorporation (Brahmins-Hindus).

The global problems have been created by the Incorporation (a country of more than 50-70% of hungry mouths and more than 70% of its people do not even have toilet facilities and roof on their heads), the dismemberment of Pakistan in 1971, for the introduction of democracy in Afghanistan, problems in the middle-east, etc. Rather than working against the will of the people, it would have been worthwhile to work with the people of some country(ies) and their honest administration to help them, assure them a nice living status, provide shelters, education, health, etc.

The Incorporation cannot provide and unable to provide these amenities since it became sovereign only on August 15th, 1947, following being ‘subservient’ for more than 3,500 years. Since August 15th, 1947, the Incorporation has been committing gross

human rights violations. For example:

1. It has killed more than 3.2 to 3.4 million Sikhs since August 15th, 1947. Besides, it waged an ‘undeclared’ war in the form of a brutal military “Operation Bluestar” of June, 1984 (The Sikhs: Sovereignty To Slavery 2010 ISBN 0-978-0-9811360-8-0). This undeclared war took a toll of no less than 2-million innocent Sikhs and more than 30,000 military personnel of the Incorporation, when it waged the undeclared war on the Sikhs’ holy, religious and historic places like the Darbar Sahib Complex, Amritsar, along with the Supreme Seat of Sikh Polity, Akal Takht Sahib, and every Gurdwara in the ‘Landless Sikh Nation, PUNJAB, Khalistan (under the occupation of the Incorporation and its blessed State administration since August 15th, 1947).

2. The Incorporation made the ‘Landless Sikh Nation, PUNJAB, as a ‘CONCENTRATION CAMP’ in the days of “Operation Bluestar of June, 1984.” There have been more than 8000 to 55,000 Sikhs kept in the high security jails, without trials and cases registered against them, in the Landless Sikh Nation, PUNJAB or outside.

3. More than 500,000 Muslims have been killed by the Incorporation. The reason, every Sikh, Muslim, and non-Brahmin-Hindu is the enemy of the Incorporation (Brahmins-Hindus).

4. More than 12,000 Assamese, 7-sister of Assam, Manipuris, etc., have been exterminated by the military personnel of the Incorporation.

5. Tens of thousand of Dalits have been eliminated by the armed personnel of the Incorporation.

When such genocide (educational, social, political, religious, etc.) have been carried out by the Incorporation, how could the United States, U K, France, China and Russia could grant a permanent seat to the Incorporation, regardless what sort of the political environment prevail in the Security Council of the United Nation?

Further, merely ‘trade relations’ are not a criterion to overlook the ‘Gross Human Rights’ committed by the Incorporation. In fact, finding a permanent peace is far more important than any bilateral/multilateral trade relations or making a country (of hungry mouths) the ‘global power’, so to speak. Any country which wants to be a champion of peace has to work for the betterment of humanity. Thank you. *****

OPEN LETTER:

DR SEKHON WRITES TO THE HON BEN KI-MOON, SECRETARY GENERAL, UNITED

NATIONS ORGANIZATION

Hon Ben Ki-Moon Secretary General United Nations NEW YORK, N Y USA 19th December 2010 The Honorable Secretary General United Nations Organization (UNO) I am writing this 'Open Letter' in response to your statement entitled " India taking necessary measures to protect human rights: Ban Ki-moon, appeared in The Economic Times - "an hour ago", as stated by Mr S J Singh Rana <[email protected]> in the mail received on December 18th, 2010 at 22:51 hrs. Sir Ki-Moon, taking a great notice of the statement prepared for you by some of your assistant(s), it seems that "India is enjoying unnecessary advantage of your statement, as the writer perceives it." India did not exist as a sovereign nation until August 14th, 1947. It existed first as the 'British Trade Company and later as the British India Empire™ up until the British ruler granted their slaves independence to predominantly, divisive, apartheid practicing groups of the Hindu-Brahmins. The unelected 'Brahmins-Hindus' clique of these people was handed over the political power, on a platter, on August 15th, 1947. Then it became the 'Brahmins-Hindus' alleged Indian state, hereafter called the 'Incorporation', which did not include 'The Sikh Raj or Sikh Nation, PUNJAB, the first 'Sovereign and Secular nation' of a Sikh Monarch Ranjit Singh, 1799 to March 14th, 1849 of South Asia (The Sikhs: Sovereignty To Slavery by Dr. Awatar Singh Sekhon ISBN 0-978-0-9811360, August 2010, a publication of The Sikh Educational Trust; International Journal of Sikh Affair 20(2), November Issue, 2010 ISSN 1481-5435. The Sikhs of the sovereign Sikh nation, Punjab, became an "annexed" territory of the British Empire, and it must be noted that the Sikhs of their Sikh Nation, Punjab, (now stands as the Sikh Raj. It must be noted that PUNJAB under the occupation of the Incorporation, since August 15th, 1947 and Punjab of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, since August 14th, 1947) were never part of the 'British India Empire'. The Empire which ruled more than 500 Muslims/Mughal and Hindu kingdoms, as against the "annexed, but not amalgamated" Sikh Nation, Punjab, had been under the administration of the British Empire (from England), for the administrative purpose only. Further, none of the 500 kingdoms ruled by the British India Empire had been 'sovereign and secular', as these Hindu kingdoms were "subservient" to the Afghans, Sikhs, Mughals, British, Portuguese, etc., for more than 3,500 years. After being "subservient™ for more than 3,500 years (see above) and becoming a sovereign state in the world history only on August 15th, 1947 the apartheid practicing, divisive and deceitful ˜Brahmins-Hindus" swallowed the basic human rights of the Sikhs, the 5th largest religion of the world (25 Years After 1984 Assault on Durbar Sahib Laying the Foundation of Khalistan (ed) Dr. Awatar Singh Sekhon ISBN0-9548929-4-1, June 2009, a publication of the London Institute of South Asia www.lisauk.com. With regard to your statement, India taking necessary measures to

protect human rights, I would precisely like to say the following in order to rectify the historical facts of the Incorporation's history, which is being distorted by the "Brahmins-Hindus" masters, since August 15th, 1947 the day the "subservient" unfortunately became the masters of the Incorporation: The Sikh Nation, PUNJAB, of the first "sovereign and secular nation of South Asiaâ" was "swallowed" as a nation, "annexed" to the British Empire, by the Brahmins-Hindus-traders", "robbed" the Sikhs, and made them their slaves right after the independence of the Brahmins-Hindus" of the Incorporation. Seven-weeks after the independence of the Incorporation, the Sikhs were declared a law-less community and dangerous to the law-abiding, deceitful Brahmins-Hindus", and were to be dealt with firmness. The Sikh Nation, PUNJAB (under the occupation of the Incorporation since August 15th, 1947) "rejected" the Incorporation's Indian Constitution 1950, in its draft and final forms, in 1948, November 26th, 1949, 1950 and the September 6th, 1966 in the Incorporation's parliament, called Lok Sabha, by the Sikh Nation, Punjab's elected Sikh representatives, because the Sikh religion was "swallowed" by the Brahmins-Hindus™ maters of the Incorporation. The Sikhs were called the ˜long-haired" Hindus. The latter, i. e., the Hindus-Brahmins, are neither a "religion nor a culture", according to numerous Hindu, academics, JL Nehru (the first prime minister of the Incorporation), and the Sikh academics, Dr. Sukhpreet Singh Udhoke, Dr. Harjinder Singh Dilgeer, Sirdar Gurtej Singh, Professor of Sikhism, along with Sir VT Rajshekar, Editor in Chief, Dalit Voice. The Sikhs' elected representatives who "rejected" the Incorporation's Constitution, in draft and final forms, were Sardar Hukam Singh, Sardar Bhupinder Singh Maan and Sirdar Kapur Singh, ICS, MP, MLA and the National Professor of Sikhism; these all three were the Sikh members of parliament and walked out, in protest, for the "Betrayals of the Brahmins-Hindus" of the Hindus' Congress party. When the Sikh nation, PUNJAB, is under the "occupation of the masters of the Incorporation', their religion“ the Sikh religion“ has been swallowed, Sikhs have no constitutional rights", then under what rule of the Incorporation's law, have the Sikhs been kept as "slaves and prisoners” by the Incorporation, Sir Ben Ki-moon? Besides, the Sikhs’ religious and political institution, i. e., the Darbar Sahib Complex (mistakenly called the Golden Temple Complex), Amritsar (what it used to be the No. 1 Trading Centre during the "annexation" period of the British Empire, the Sikhs' Supreme Seat of Polity and Gurdwaras are heavily infiltrated by the Incorporation's intelligence services, e. g., Intelligence Bureau, Central Intelligence Department, Research and Analysis Wing, police personnel, etc. These institutions are all under the "Tight Control" of the Incorporation. Further, when the Sikhs have no "Constitution rights" in the Incorporation, then why do the Sikhs living outside the Incorporation need "Incorporation's Visa" to visit their holy and historic Homeland, The Sikh nation, PUNJAB? Since August 15th, 1947 the Incorporation alias the Brahmins-Hindus’ India, is the largest democracy of our world, as termed by the stalwarts of the democratic institution and their news media (print, air and television) has killed the Sikhs, Muslims, Dalits, Tamils, Assamese, 7-sister of Assam, Adivaasis or Moolnivasis,

13


Biharis, people of Orrisa state, citizens of the Internationally Disputed Areas of Jammu and Kashmir (IDAJK), etc., in several genocide, fake encounters, pogroms, together with rape, persecution, torture, never seen in the history of mankind: The Sikhs: 3.2 to 3.4 million; Muslims, more than 500,000; Muslims of the IDAJK, more than 120,000, since 1988 (statistics may be confirmed from the Secretary General of the Kashmiri Diaspora [email protected]; Christians, more than 312,500; Tamils, more than 12,000; Assamese and their 7-sister of Assam, more than 15,000; Dalits, tens of thousand (please confirm from www.dalitvoice.com and or Sir VT Rajshekar); Moolnivasis and/or Adivaasis, tens of thousand, etc. NOTE: All these statistics have been provided, in several Memoranda, to the High Commissioner, Human Rights Council, Palace des Nations, Geneva, Switzerland, since 1999. In 1984, the Incorporation waged an "undeclared war" on the Sikh Nation, PUNJAB (under the occupation of the Incorporation), in

the form of a brutal military "Operation Bluestar" of June 1984,

on the citizens of the Sikh Nation, killed more than 250,000 innocent Sikhs (infants, children, male and female folks, elderly), to "exterminate" the Sikhs, who have no "Constitutional and human rights", since August 15th, 1947. There have been more than 10,000 Sikh prisoners in the high Security jails, without charges and trials since the days of an "undeclared war" on the Sikh Nation, PUNJAB. During the times of the "udeclared war" on the Sikh Nation, Punjab, the Sikh Nation had been like a "CONCENTRATION CAMP" in open air in every village of the Sikh nation, PUNJAB, with no hygienic facilities and

other amenities. Sir Ben Ki-moon, you are requested to assess the situation of Sikhs and the situation of the non-Sikh and non-Brahmins-Hindus people, called "minorities" and accepted by the office holders like yourself, Sir. The masters of the Incorporation have been misleading you, Sir. For example, the Incorporation lump the Dalits in non-Brahmins-Hindus. The fact remains that out of a total population of over 1.2 billion hungry mouths, the Dalits are no less than 60-65%. Is the Incorporation not lying and/or misleading? According to certain cyber group and/or readership, would the UN listen to the cries on HUMAN RIGHTS of innocent people and stop appeasing elite nations with their anti-human-rights agenda to suppress right to PEACE/JUSTICE/TRUTH/LIBERTY/DETERMINATION? With best wishes and warmest regards. ***** ENCLOSURES: India taking necessary measures to protect human rights: Ban Ki-moon Economic Times - UNITED NATIONS: India is taking necessary measures to ensure stability, prevent violence and protect human rights in Kashmir , UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has said. What is the proof and credibility of releasing below statements, good for books/news only, when they can't assert in practice e.g. 'ZERO CONVICTED FOR Nov.1984.

Awatar Singh Sekhon

Shaheed-Bilas Saint-soldier Jarnail Singh Khalsa Bhindranwale was the Sikh leader, religious and political, of the 20th century and the man of vision for the Guru Khalsa Panth, House of Baba Nanak, the people of Punjab, the ‘Landless Sikh Nation’, (under the occupation of Brahmin-Hindus ‘Institution’ of the alleged Indian democracy. Hereafter called the ‘Democracy of Propaganda and Hatred’ alias the alleged Indian democracy or the ‘Institution’ since August 15th, 1947). The Hindus-Brahmins are neither a religion nor a culture. Mrs. Manju Qureshi, Chairperson, Women’s Human Rights Organization of Punjab, paid her rich tributes to Sant-Bilas which no Sikh or non-Sikh writer has been able to do that. After the completion of Saint-soldier’s mission of the ‘Struggle for Justice and restoration of the law and order’ for the citizens of Punjab, the Sikhs’ holy and historic homeland, Mrs. Qureshi wrote following the martyrdom of her beloved leader Jarnail Singh Khalsa that ‘I have no shoulder now where I could put my head to cry or who could console and listen me’. These were the sentiments of a lady of the non-Sikh faith. The Sikh Nation will always be grateful to the non-Sikhs like Mrs. Qureshi, Bibi Mumtaz, Pir Budhoo Shah, his Sahibzade and over 400 Mureeds, Gani Khan, Nabi Khan, Punjaba, Gulaba, Nawab of Malerkotla family, Sain Mian Mir and alike. Although the (stupid) Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) of Brahmin autocracy involved in committing the international criminal activities, hijacking of India’s national and international civilian aircrafts (Air India Flight 182, Toronto-Mobtreal-London-Delhi/Bombay in the early morning hours of off the western coast of Ireland on June 23rd, 1985 and planning a foiled plan of ‘exploding Air India aircraft in 1994 in some European country (Hon Kilgour D 1994 Betrayal: The Spy Canada Abandoned). Along with the propaganda machinery of the Brahmin-Hindus alleged Institution of democracy, has been busy is propagating rumors against Shaheed-Bilas Jarnail Singh Khalsa through its master’s (Indira Gandhi alias Maimuna Begum’s administration’s), foreign missions, state-controlled news media (Air waves, TV, news print of the ‘Institution’), hired hands, and producing the state-sponsored books to malign the character and personality of the Shaheed-Bilas, written by the pseudo-authors like KP Gill (the retired Butcher police officer of Punjab) and a criminal AB Vajpayee’s advisor to the Narendra Modi of the Gujara t administration in the ‘Genocide of Muslims’ in 2002-2003; which killed more than 15,000 Muslims of Gujarat), K Brar, J Reibero, and others. None has succeeded to accomplish his/her task or the aims of the Brahmin-Hindus’ Institution. The pseudo-writers of the ‘Institution’ have propagated more lies. Despite all these the character of Shaheed-Bilas Jarnail Singh Khalsa emerges more brilliantly. The only reason is that the RAW, its masters, Brahmin-Hindus autocracy’s foreign missions and pseudo-authors spend their time in covering up their own ‘fabricated lies’; whereas, the truth of the Mission for the Struggle of Justice cannot be suppressed by the Brahmin autocracy alias the alleged ‘Institution’ as the writer perceives it. One of the segments of the ‘Mission for Struggle for Justice of Shaheed-Bilas’ needs to be brought in the public domain, although the information that this writer is going to describe is already in print, but it has either been overlooked, seldom discussed or seen in

print. The information that this writer is going to present is of an ‘undeclared’ war waged on the ‘Landless Sikh Nation, Punjab’, in the form of a brutal armed ‘‘Operation Bluestar’’ of June, 1984 era. Late Sardar Gurnam Singh Tir, an advocate and one of the legal advisors to Shaheed-Bilas Jarnail Singh Khalsa Bhindranwale wrote (in Punjabi/Gurmukhi script) appeared in the Indo-Canadian Times published from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, under the editorship of Tara Singh Hayer in 1980s. It was related to Shaheed-Bilas Jarnail Singh’s conversation with advocate Tir. In December 1983, before “Operation Bluestar” of June 1984 commenced, when Jarnail Singh Khalsa and his supporters shifted from the Guru Nanak Niwas to Akal Takht Sahib. Sardar Tir wrote that ‘he had not seen the Shaheed-Bilas for sometime and he was eager to see him after reaching Amritsar. He left his family at his wife’s sister’s (sister in law’s) residence around 21:00 hrs, and went to Darbar Sahib Complex. There he first paid his respect to Guru Granth Sahib in the Darbar Sahib and then proceeded to see the Shaheed-Bilas. The latter had been walking in a Veranda, but appeared somewhat serious. The moment Shaheed-Bilas saw Tir ji, he exchanged with him the Sikh greetings. The Shaheed-Bilas asked him, where have you been Tir ji? I have been looking forward to your visit. Tir ji replied that I have just arrived in the city, left my family at my sister-in-law’s residence, and then proceeded to the Darbar Sahib to see you and enquire about your wellbeing. The Shaheed-Bilas asked how are the things outside? Tir replied that first you tell me how are things with you and what is going on, as you read the ‘state-controlled’ newspapers and other news media? Tir said that there are two main points of your interest. The Shaheed-Bilas listened Tir attentively. Tir said: first of all, people talk about your moving to Akal Takht Sahib, which the media say that you should not have moved to the Akal Takht Sahib. Second, there appears there is some ‘rift’ between you and Sant Harchand Singh Longowal when you address him as the ‘Dictator (of the Morcha or agitation) for the Sikhs’ demands of Justice and restoration of law and order’, as it reflects some rift between both of you. Shaheed-Bilas asked Tir what would you like to propose? Tir said that here is my suggestions to you: I will never use this word ‘Dictator’ for Harchand Singh Longowal. Now, coming to your first concern, I had been left with no option but to leave the Guru Nanak Niwas. This was merely for the respect of the Guru Khalsa Panth (Dastaar-di-rakhia vaaste). What Shaheed-Bilas meant was, as the writer thinks affirmatively, there were anti-Sikh, pro-RAW, RAW, pro-New Delhi administration’s (NDA) agents and other elements present, which were eagerly looking forward to a clash between the RAW, its hired hands, pro-NDA forces and the Shaheed-Bilas and his supporters. The Shaheed-Bilas avoided this clash amicably and the news headline in the next day’s newspapers brought great disappointment to the anti-Sikh, anti-Darbar Sahib and anti-Sikh Way of Life forces. Tir asked the Shaheed-Bilas: what is next? Shaheed-Bilas replied that it is all up to the father (of the Guru Khalsa Panth), Guru Gobind Singh ji and the Akal Purakh Waheguru ji. However, let me make it clear to you, Tir Sahib: the date for the ‘Indian army’s assault has been set and that is going to happen whether I am sitting here, within the premises of Darbar Sahib Complex, more than 250 miles away from the Darbar Sahib

Complex, or in Madhya Pradesh, or any place outside Punjab. India’s Brahmins-Hindus administration is all set to attack the Darbar Sahib Complex and is all out to destroy it. My presence at the Akal Takht Sahib is only the ‘excuse’ for the NDA to wipe out the Sikhs. Sardar Gurnam Singh Tir writes that ‘how true were the words/calculations of the Shaheed-Bilas Sant Jarnail Singh Khalsa Bhindranwale’! Shaheed-Bilas had every knowledge of the move of the deceitful Indian administration of Indira Gandhi alias Maimuna Begum, who had signed the papers of assault on the Sikhs’ holy and historic Homeland, Punjab in January 1984. Not only that she had assigned the job to make the Sikhs ‘terrorists’ to one of his former federal bureaucrat, MS (Mani Shanker) Iyer, according to Iyer himself (Sikh Bulletin, October-November 2006, p. 11). He had foretold the dates of the army assault on the Darbar Sahib Complex. The assault happened exactly on the same dates, with the exception that the ‘Indian Captain’ of the ship and his troops had to be changed, as they abandoned the ship. This change delayed the real assault by 24-48 hours. Shaheed-Bilas had a committee of ‘advisors’ on military matters, which consisted of the retired generals, commissioned, junior-commissioned and other military personnel’ as well as on the legal matters. Shaheed Major-Gen Shubeg Singh was no fool. He knew perfectly well what the Government of India is all up to as far as the Sikhs are concerned. Besides the staunch and committed supporters, Shaheed-Bilas Jarnail Singh Khalsa Bhindranwale had everything at his finger tips. His supporters of the Guru Khalsa Panth taught a lesson to the Brahmin-Hindus autocracy’s armed forces (army, air force, navy, paramilitary forces, intelligence personnel, etc.) that the Sikhs are not dead yet. They are alive and will struggle to their last breath and drop of blood to ‘Save the honor of the Guru Khalsa Panth’. One Shaheed-Bilas has been martyred, there will be hundreds of thousands more to ‘Regain The Lost Sovereignty, Independence and Political Power of the Sikh Nation, by Peaceful Means’, although the sovereignty of the Guru Khalsa Panth was not his agenda as propagated by the Indira Gandhi alias Maimuna Begum’s administration. The Struggle for Sikhs’ sovereignty has been continuing since March 14th, 1849. The propaganda mechanics and the NDA (a mentally, morally and ethically bankrupt administration), its foreign missions, including (JL Nehru to Manmohan Sinh, March 14th, 1947 to this day of writing) is being carried out without any interruption. The Sikhs have nothing to do with the NDA’S anti-humanity policies.

The Martyrdom of Shaheed Bilas Jarnail Singh Khalsa (Bhindranwale) has inducted far more strength in the on-going “Sikhs’ Struggle for Sovereignty, Independence and political power, by democratic and peaceful means, since March 14th, 1849.” The Guru Khalsa Panth, the ‘Landless Sikh Nation’, Khalistan, Punjab (under the occupation of the Sikhs’ enemy, the alleged Indian democracy, since August 15th, 1947) knows its enemy perfectly well. We, the Sikhs, also know that Harchand Longowal, Gurcharan Tohra, Jaswant Bhullar, Didar Bains of the USA, Professor M S Sidhu, Balwant Singh (Longowal’s Secretary), Prabhu Dayal Singh alias PD Singh, Prakash (Darkness/Hanera) Sinh Badal, the present Chief Minister of Punjab, Jagjit Chohan (deceased), Harpal S Ghuman alias Harjinder Pal Singh Nagra, etc., have been ‘Collaborating’ with the RAW and its Director, RN Kao, against the leadership of Shaheed-Bilas Saint-soldier Jarnail Singh Khalsa, the Sikhs’ man, religious and political leader of the 20th century. The Sikhs will always remember Shaheed-Bilas’ Saint-soldier Jarnail Singh Khalsa’s words “Physical death I do not fear, death of conscience is sure a death.” ***** Further Comments: An ‘undeclared’ war waged in the form of “Operation Bluestar” of June, 1984, on the ‘Landless Sikh Nation, PUNJAB, is indicative of the Brahmins-Hindus NDA’s (New Delhi administration) policies that the NDA would like to ‘swallow’ the Sikhs, as it has been trying unsuccessfully to convert them into the Hindus and their –ism. The Sikhs, if they would like to survive and stop the erosion of the ‘Brahaminisn cum Hindus and their –ism, they have no choice but to stand up, democratically, under an honest leader for the “Sovereignty of their Sikh Nation.” There is no point to raise the slogan of ‘Khalistan Zindabad’ until you (the Sikhs) are sincere like Sant-Bilas Jarnail Singh Khalsa. The so-called leaders, if they are the leaders at all, ‘stop’ misleading the Sikh masses. Have some mercy on the Guru Khalsa Panth, the ‘Landless Sikh Nation’, Punjab, and make your place on the world map, as the ‘Republic of Khalistan’. It is your (Sikhs) choice whether you like the “Sovereignty of the Sikh Nation” or the slavery or ‘subservient’ of the Brahmins-Hindus “Incorporation” against the teachings of the Sikh Guru Sahibaans (Guru Nanak Sahib to Guru Gobind Singh Sahib ji, and thereafter the Guru Granth Sahib ji).

MEMORANDUM

The Hon N. Pillay High Commissioner United Nations High Commission for Human Rights, UN Human Rights Council Palais des Nations, CH 1211 Geneva 10 SWITZERLAND 14th March, 2011 Your Excellency Mrs Pillay,

HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS AND GENOCIDE IN PARTICULAR OF SIKHS IN THEIR HOLY AND HISTORICAL LAND, PUNJAB, AND THE NON-HINDU MINORITIES I IN GENERAL IN PREDOMINANTLY HINDU INDIA

We, the Sikhs of Switzerland, European countries and North America, would like to apprise you, your Excellency, of human rights abuses of the Sikhs and other non-Hindu minorities in India which have taken place since 15th August, 1947. This was the day when the British India authorities transferred political power to the ‘unelected’ Hindu leadership and left the non-Hindu minorities, especially the Sikhs, at the mercy of the majority, the Hindus. Since receiving political power from the British Empire, despite the protest of the Sikhs at large and their leadership for not returning their first sovereign and independent Sikh Raj of South Asia, of their forefathers and monarch, Ranjit Singh (1799-1849). The predominantly Hindu India has exterminated more than 1.4 to 2.3 million Sikhs, more than one million in the decade of 1981-91 (Singh S 1995 The Sikhs in History ISBN 0-96475555-0-5; Dilgeer HS and Sekhon AS 1992 The Sikhs’ Struggle for Sovereignty An Historical Perspective (ed) A T Kerr ISBN 0-9695964-1-3 University of Alberta P O, Edmonton, AB T6G 2S5, Canada; Sekhon AS Dilgeer HS 1999 A White Paper On Khalistan (A True Story) The Sikh Nation (ed) AT Kerr ISBN 0-9695964-8-0; Sekhon AS Dilgeer HS 2002 India Kills the Sikhs, 3rd Ed, ISBN 0-9695964-9-9; Sekhon AS 2005 India’s Genocides of Sikhs, 1981-1991: History Revisited Int J Sikh Affairs 15(2), 28, 2005 (Chief Guest Editor: AT Kerr) ISSN 1481-5435; Sekhon AS 2010 The Sikhs: Sovereignty To Slavery ISBN 978-0-9811360-8-0). Since the brutal military “Operation Bluestar” of June, 1984, more than 260,000 Sikh infants, children, youth, male and female folks have been slaughtered [Int J Sikh Affairs 10(2): 27-29, 2000 ISSN 1481-5435; Sekhon AS 2000 Proc 8th Sikh Edu Conf, Toronto, ON, Sept 23; Walia AS Sudan TS 2001 Genesis of State Terrorism in Punjab.

Likewise, Hindu India has systematically killed other non-Hindu minorities (more than 500,000 Muslims; over 110,000 Kashmiri Muslims of the Internationally Disputed Areas of Jammu and Kashmir since 1988; more than 312,500 Christians; hundreds of thousands of Dalits, adivaasis (aboriginals or Moolnivasi of India), in numerous genocides, pogroms, massacres and staged encounters (25 Years After 1984 Assault on Durbar Sahib Laying Foundation of Khalistan (ed) Dr Awatar Singh Sekhon, June 2009, ISBN 0-9548929-4-1, a publication of London Institute of South

Asia). The most recent examples of state sponsored pogroms are the killings of Sikhs in Chitisinghpora in Kashmir in February, 2000; killings of 6 Sikhs in Kashmir in February, 2001; beheading of a Sikh in Kashmir in March, 2001; destruction of 6 Mosques in Kanpur, U P, and Bhilwara (Asind), Rajasthan (http://www.indianexpress.com<http://www.indianexpress.com/>; 2001; The Hon Edolphus Towns, Member of Congress (MC).

Addressing the House of Representatives, Congress of the United States, the Hon Edolphus Towns, Member of Congress, said on 28th March, 2006 “Sikh activists Kanwarpal Singh Dhami and Dr. Jagjit Singh Chohan (now deceased) were arrested by the Indian Government on charges of sedition. Their crime was to speak in support of a sovereign Sikh Nation, Khalistan . Dr. Chohan also flur the Khalistan’s flag from his residence. When did free speech become a crime in a democracy? The Sikh homeland of Khalistan declared itself independent from India on October 7, 1987.” On 21st March, 2006, in a press release, Dr Gurmit Singh Aulakh, President of the Council of Khalistan, Washington DC, said, “What kind of democracy watches people for demanding freedom? Why don't they watch the Black Cats who have killed thousands of Sikhs under the protection of the Indian government?'' We would like to bring to your notice that the Sikh Nation, Punjab, the 'First Sovereign and Secular' nation of South Asia of monarch Ranjit Singh, 1799 to 14th March, 1849, was 'robbed' by the alleged Indian democracy on 15th August, 1947. The Sikhs' constitutional rights, Sikh religion and Sikh traditions were 'swallowed' in the Indian Constitution 1950, Article 25. The very Constitution 1950 was 'rejected', in the Indian parliament (Lok Sabha), in its draft and final forms, in 1948, 26 November 1949, 1950 and more recently on 6th September 1966. The Sikhs' elected representatives who 'rejected' the Constitution, on behalf of their

18


people or constituents of Punjab, were Sardar Hukam Singh, Sardar Bhupinder Singh Maan and Sirdar Kapur Singh, ICS, MP, MLA and the National Professor of Sikhism. Since their 'rejection of the Indian Constitution 1950', none of the Sikhs' elected representatives has accepted/endorsed/signed the Indian Constitution implemented by the deceitful, divisive, devious and apartheid practicing alleged Indian democracy of the 'Brahmins-Hindus'. It must be considered seriously that under what Constitutional rights, the apartheid practicing alleged Indian democracy has been ruling the 'Sikhs of Punjab (including Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Punjabi-speaking areas of Punjab/Sikh Nation/the Sikh Raj of Ranjit Singh) since 15th August, 1947? The Sikhs of Punjab's story does not end here. Rather it has been continuing, since the Sikh Nation has been under the 'slavery and Tight Control' of the oppressive and suppressive alleged Indian democracy of the 'Brahmins-Hindus', who had been 'subservient' to the Afghans, Mughals, Sikhs, British, Portuguese, etc., for more than 3,500 years. Additionally, the excesses of the Indian forces can be summarized as follows: On 5th November, 1978, the Hindu India police of Delhi fired at a Sikh procession and killed four Sikhs, including the president of the Delhi Akali Party [Sekhon AS and Dilgeer HS 1999, 2006 A White Paper On Khalistan (A True Story) The Sikh Nation (ed) A T Kerr ISBN 0-9695964-8-0]. Acting Mukh-Sewadar, or Chief of Akal Takht Sahib, the Supreme Seat of the Sikh Polity, Amritsar, Singh Sahib Bhai Gurdev Singh Kaunke, was abducted on 20th December 1993, tortured, killed and his body dumped in a canal on 3rd January 1994. On October 27, 1995, the Human Rights activist of the Akali Dal (Badal), Sardar Jaswant Singh Khalra, was killed at the Chhabal police station, Amritsar. His body was thrown into the Harike Canal. A police officer, A. S. Sandhu (supposedly committed suicide), abducted a Sikh religious leader, Charan Singh, tortured him and was made to dispose of his body. Earlier, the same police officer had abducted Charan Singh’s brother and his driver. The latter was killed by tying his legs to two jeeps, which were driven off in opposite directions. A former Punjab administration headed by a corrupt Sikh, Prakash Sinh Badal, attacked the Darbar Sahib Complex (mistakenly known as the Golden Temple Complex) on 7th February, 1998, desecrated its sanctity and deposed, using his state powers, the democratically elected president of the Shiromani Gurdwara Prabhandhak Committee. Shortly thereafter, Badal forcibly removed the Senior Minister or Custodian of Akal Takht Sahib, the Supreme Seat of the Sikh Polity, Bhai Ranjit Singh. The administration of Prakash Sinh Badal, has spent more than 20 million rupees for legal fees to protect the police officers who participated in the genocide of the Sikhs. Voted, under the Constitution of India, which has been ‘rejected by the Sikhs repeatedly’, out of the Punjab’s administration, for his maneuvering, his collision (Badal and associates’) with a Hindu militant and fundamentalist party, the Brahtiya Janata Party (BJP), is back as the Chief of the Punjab administration. Prakash Sinh Badal, is an agent of India’s Research and Analysis Wing (RAW; Gurtej Singh 2000 Chakarvyuh: Web of Indian Secularism ISBN 81-85815-14-3) and a staunch turbaned Hindu in ‘The Sikh Identity’. Prakash Badal has kept his lips ‘sealed’ when the Punjab Legislative Assembly debated the ‘Freedom of Press, news media and the free speech recently (www.rozanaspokesman.com, 8th-13th March, 2008). The freedom of speech and expression, the fundamental human rights in any democracy. This is the clear reflection of the democratic or ‘autocratic’ nature of Mr Badal. His administration and police personnel are abusing the Indian Penal Code Article 188, against Dr Sukhpreet Singh Udhoke of Amritsar. These are a few examples of the democracy of the New Delhi administration (NDA) blessed administration of Prakash

Badal and his Akalis with the BJP, in the Sikhs’ holy and historic Homeland of Sikhs, Punjab. On February 6, 2000, the death of a Dalit youth in police custody in Morinda, Ludhiana, was horrifying. He was killed in cold blood because he objected to police’s drinking session at a public place. This incidence revived memories of the dark period in the history of Punjab when countless innocent young men were killed in false encounters, but police records turned them into ruthless terrorists. A mother of six sons, Bibi Jaswant Kaur, lost her husband in 1987. Three of her six sons succumbed to tuberculosis. The other three were abducted and killed by Punjab police. One of the three sons, Pragat Singh, 23-yrs-old, was arrested in 1987, kept in captivity for 14 months. After his release police raided his home on 9th September 1988, and shot him dead. The eldest son, Jagir Singh, 25-yrs-old, working as a volunteer in a Taran Taran Gurdwara, was taken by the police and did not return. The youngest son, Mohinder Singh (20-yrs-old) was with the religious man, Baba Charan Singh (see above). He was abducted by the police on 14th June 1991 and died in police custody. Jaswant Kaur has tried all possible avenues to get justice, but has had no luck ([email protected]; March 20, 2001; post #4181; http://www.yahoogroups.com/group/sikhyouth;<http://www.yahoogroups.com/group/sikhyouth>). Even outside India, Sikhs are continued to be harassed by the Indian government and its allies, according to the Hon Edolphus Towns, MC (Extensions of Remarks - February 27, 2001). Miscreants stormed a church and ransacked the premises while a spiritual meeting and prayers were in progress in Hyderabad, A P (www.burningpunjab.com; 24th March, 2001). A group of men killed their rape victim, a mother of seven, in the village of Singana and then gouged out the eyes of two witnesses in India's lawless eastern state of Bihar, the Press Trust of India reported Thursday (February 8, 2001; AFP). The rapists then used the woman's sickle to hack her to death. They then attacked four labourers who witnessed the crime. Since 1998, Christian missionaries including one from Australia (Father Graham Stains), his 8- & 10-yr-old sons, and Roman Catholic nuns, have been killed, burnt alive or raped by the Hindu fundamentalists. The burning, destruction and demolishing of the Houses of God of the non-Hindu minorities, the Sikh Gurdwaras, Churches and Mosques, looting and desecrating of the holy and historical places of the non-Hindu minorities are the modus operandi of successive Indian administrations and state-sponsored hoodlums (Hon John T Doolittle, MC India Coalition Partner Threaten To Engulf Country In Violence, House of Representatives, July 27, 2000, The US Congress; Hon Edolphus Towns, MC July 27, 2000. Christian Persecution in India, House of Representatives, The US Congress). Militant Hindu hoodlums in Uttarpara, West Bengal, attacked a train carrying Sikh pilgrims and the Sikh Holy scriptures, Guru Granth Sahib, in June, 2001. The Hindu hoodlums stoned the Sikh pilgrims, burned the Holy Scriptures, and tried to set fire to the train (Press Release: Council of Khalistan. Train Attack Is Wake-Up Call for Sikh Nation, June 27, 2001< [email protected]>). In an affidavit filed on 28th August, 2000, by Mr Sartaj Singh, resident of Kathua, Jammu and Kashmir (under the occupation of Indian administration), Internationally Disputed areas by the United Nations, stated that he was tortured and received painful psychological harassment by the Indian police. The police personnel wanted him to confess for the things, which he never did. The police personnel also wanted him to tell the whereabouts of Neeta alias Ranjit Singh, a freedom fighter, Harbhajan Singh, Gian Singh and Joginder Singh, who are at large. The police personnel wanted him to make a false confession that ‘we all know one another’. Miss Manorama of Manipur was gang raped by the men of the Assam Rifles and was thrown out of the headquarters after

19


mutilating her private parts in July, 2004. More recently (9th February, 2005), a 12-year-old girl was allegedly raped by a constable of the force in central Assam’s Karbi Anglong district, triggering protests from women’s organizations. In a blatant violation of human rights, the district police today tortured a Dalit youth to death after he refused to accept his involvement in a theft case (Jalandhar, February 6’ tibruneindia.com). The World Kashmir Diaspora Alliance reports that "since the Indian forces occupation, more than 195,000 innocent Kashmiris have been killed; more than 110,000 have disappeared, and the latter have been killed by the invader's troops or they have been languishing in Indian jails with no information to their families. In the last three months, the death toll the ongoing Kashmiri unrest is 96, as another youth Yasir Rafiq Sheikh, a cousin of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front chief, Muhammad Yasin Malik, succumbed to his injuries on late Wednesday night inflicted by the Indian personnel and kept in a New Delhi hospital. Additionally, at least 10 persons were injured by the alleged CRPF firing on protesters in Sopur. For the last six days Kashmir is under curfew round the clock ([email protected], 18th September, 2010)." The above are only a few of the hundreds of thousands of cases we would like to bring to your kind attention, your Excellency. We hereby request you to dispatch a fact finding mission to India to assess in depth the crimes committed against humanity by armed and law-enforcing agencies in ‘uniforms’ and bring the criminals before the International Court of Justice in the same way as the U N has done to punish the criminals of the Rwanda and Serbia massacres in 2000; S. Milosevic of Serbia in July 2001; the former Serb police chief, Steven Todorovic, who pleaded guilty for torturing, murdering and sexually assaulting Muslims and Croats (National Post, 1st August, 2001, p A11); and Radislav Krstic for the Srebrenica genocide of Muslims in 1995 (National Post, August 3, 2001, p A3). The UN tribunal has taken a landmark decision recently to include “sex torture as a war crime” (National Post, February, 23, 2001). Also, the UN Secretary-General (former), His Excellency Kofi Annan’s interview (Time, 4th September, 2000) will be welcomed by the justice-loving peoples of our civilized world that “those who commit crimes and those who watch as bystanders are equally responsible for the crime taking place.” What we have brought to your attention, your Excellency, is just the ‘tip of the iceberg’ of human rights abuses, religious persecution(s), rapes, humiliation, dehumanization and crimes committed by the state-sanctioned armed personnel of what our civilized world terms as the “largest democracy” in the world, India. A leading magazine has pointed out “India is ruled by rascals.” “Many Indians silently witness their country’s unlawful events. Several members of the ruling party’s youth wing have in the past been charged with rapes and kidnapping. Officials respond that all parties have their thugs. Politicians use thugs to capture polling booths and stuff ballot boxes (The Economist, 15th July, 1995, p. 26).” According to the Hon Dana Rohrabacher, for the Sikhs, Kashmiri Muslims, and other minorities “India might as well be Nazi Germany” (Press Release: Council of Khalistan, Washington DC; June 27, 2001 < [email protected]>). Another Sikh, Devinder Pal Singh Bhullar, is about to be put to death in India for a crime even India admitted he didn't commit (Hon Edolphus Towns, MC. Proc House of Representatives, Washington DC, 18th March, 2003). Manmohan Singh, the present Chief, Council of Ministers and not an elected ‘Member of Parliament’ of India, supposed to be an honest and clean person delivered his state address before the “World Conference on Human Rights Delegates in Vienna, Austria, on 24th June (14 to 25th June), 1993. He, then Finance Minister of the PV Rao administration, said that “ he being Sikh finds no abuses of Human Rights of Sikhs much less any minorities in India.” Another person. Shahabuddin, Manmohan Singh’s

colleague of the Islamic faith, said the same of Muslims of India. Abuses of Human Rights in the Sikhs’ holy and historic Homeland, Punjab, Khalistan (under the Brahmins-Hindus autocracy’s occupation, have been taking place, since 15th August, 1947). Manmohan Singh’s statement was ‘refuted’ in the strongest possible words by the human rights and peace-loving citizens (delegates) of North America and elsewhere. Your Excellency, following the execution of “Operation Bluestar” of June, 1984 (An undeclared war on the Sikh Nation, Punjab by the Indian armed forces, according to Sekhon (2009 ISBN 0-9548929-4-1), “Operation Bluestar, June 1984”. according to reliable sources, every village of the Sikhs’ holy and historic homeland, Punjab, was turned into “Concentration Camp.” ’ Open air’ jails were established outside every village of Punjab. These jails were covered by the barbed wires, in the heat of June – August months, when the usual temperatures in Punjab are 47 C or more, had been under the supervision of the Indian armed personnel, were no less than the concentration camps of Adolf Hitler’s times in the Nazi Germany. These ‘open air’ barbed wire concentration camps/jails were used to prison the Sikhs indiscriminately regardless or gender and age. Sanitary facilities were virtually not existent. This reflects the treatment of Indira Gandhi and her administration of the Brahmins autocracy to the Sikhs,” Bibi Manjit Kaur Dakha (1992): Manjit Kaur Dakha and her husband sought political asylum in the United States after being tortured by the Indian armed personnel. Mrs. Dakha, her father, and her 6-mo-old daughter (Bhaghel Kaur) were tortured mercilessly, given repeated death threats, and her child was made to sit on a colony of ants by the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF). The daughter and father were made to beat each other with clubs. Sardar Surinder Singh Fauji (a retired army personnel), of Fatehabad, Tehsil: Khadur Sahib of Amritsar district of Punjab, has been physically, mentally and psychologically tortured by Punjab police since May 27, 1986. Valuable household articles stolen by the police personnel from his residence have not been returned. Despite his writing to the Prime Minister (PV Rao), Home Minister of India (SB Chawan), Chief Justice, Supreme Court of India, Chief Justice, Punjab and Haryana High court, and the Senior Session Judge, Amritsar, there was no relief from the police excesses. More than 35 Sikh youth, including Kanwarpal Singh Bittu and Sarbjit Singh Ghuman of the Dal Khalsa, in police custody. Similarly, Jagtaar Singh Hawara, his wife and other family members are humiliated (by putting cigarettes and tobacco in his mouth), tortured and harassed by the Punjab and Delhi police (www.panthic.org 17th July, 2005). Another Sikh leader, Daljit Singh Bittu, President, Panch Pradhani, and thousand of Sikh youth are in jails, without trials and crimes. A human rights lawyer and prominent Sikh nationalist Harpal Singh Cheema, after spending eight years in a California jail, whom Judge Dana Keener determined Singh did not pose a threat to national security. The Hon judge stopped short of granting him full asylum, but forbade the then-INS from deporting the couple. Indeed, she noted that Singh “is widely perceived as a moderate and a voice for reason (Camille T Tairara, Editor, New America Media, News Feature, Aug 07, 2006). To escape atrocities and persecution during custody of the Indian law-enforcing personnel until 1992, Mr Cheema and his wife sought asylum in the United States in1993 (www.news.ncmonline.com/news/views_article.htmal? Mr Cheema is separated from his wife and son. Both mother and son are too scared to return to India. In the mid 2007, Sardar Simranjit Singh Mann, President, Shromani Akali Dal (Amritsar), Sardar Daljit Singh Bittu, the then Vice President, SAD-Amritsar, and Dr Sukhpreet Singh Udhoke were arrested, tortured and harassed by the Punjab police personnel and charged for the ‘treason against the Indian union’ for their peaceful demonstrations and free expression against the heavy

20


handedness of the state personnel. In the alleged Indian democracy, the basic rights of citizens, i. e., free speech, are violated. Dr Udhoke’s publication was ceased and he was arrested. Recently, in the second week of February, 2010, the Punjab police killed 13 youth in Ludhina district of Punjab, while they were participating in the Birthday celebrations of Shaheed-Bilas Saint-soldier Jarnail Singh Khalsa, Punjab’s political and religious leader of the 20th century (www.rozananaspokesman.com). A mass Grave of Sikhs killed in November 1984 has been discovered after 26 years in village Hondh-Chillar, District Rewari, Haryana.The village was inhab ited by several Sikh families and onNovember 02, 1984 in an organized and well planned attack,the entire village was burnt along with the Sikh populationand Gurudwara.The village consisting of torched houses, a burnt Gurudwaraand s cattered human bones have now been discovered (www.punjabspectrum.com, 17th February, 2011).

It is learned from highly reliable sources that the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) had been operating at least four deep pans of boiled oil to kill alive the Sikh youth in Amritsar in the post-undeclared war on the occupied Sikh Nation, under the consent of the then administration of India.

Recently, in the second week of February, 2010, the Punjab police killed 13 youth in Ludhina district of Punjab, while they were participating in the Birthday celebrations of Shaheed-Bilas Saint-soldier Jarnail Singh Khalsa, Punjab’s political and religious leader (www.punjabspectrum.com, February 21, 2011).

16th SESSION OF THE UN: HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL, ROOM XXII BRIEFING ON HUMAN

RIGHTS OF DEPRIVED MINORITIES, MARCH 9th, 2011


Sponsor: Liberation

Chair: Dr Charles Graves, Secretary General, Interfaith International, Geneva, SWITZERLAND

Speakers: Sagger Z, Dipmony, Dr Awatar Singh Sekhon (Canada), Tamil Delegate (Centre for Human Rights Europe)

Time: 15:00 - 17:00 Hrs

Date: Tuesday, March 9th, 2011

Dr. Awatar Singh Sekhon's Presentation on behalf of the Sikh Nation, PUNJAB (under the occupation of the alleged Indian democracy of the Brahmins-Hindus, since 15th August, 1947)

SUBJECT: Human Rights Abuses and the Situation of Sikhs in Their Holy and Historic Homeland PUNJAB, Since August 15th, 1947.

Introduction: The Sikh Raj, Punjab, the first 'Sovereign and Secular' nation of South Asia, has been "Struggling To Regain its Sovereignty, Independence and Political power, by peaceful means, since March 14th, 1849. This was the day when the forces of the Sikh Nation surrendered its sovereignty to the British Empire." At the same time, the Sikhs struggle for sovereignty began of the fateful day of March 14th, 1849. The Sikhs' struggle for sovereignty has been going on to the day of this presentation and it will continue, by peaceful means until the day the Sikh Nation reclaims its lost sovereignty.

Briefly, the Sikh Nation, Punjab, was 'robbed' right after the 'unelected' Brahmins-Hindus clique received political power from the then British agent. The next gift by the ruling clique of the alleged Indian democracy was presented to the Sikhs 7-week following their independence by issuing a state circular bearing the signatures of JL Nehru - CL Trivedi -VB Patel, which indicated that the 'Sikhs are lawless people, dangerous to the law-abiding Hindus and be dealt with firmly. This was the day of October 10th, 1947 when the Sikhs of their Holy and Historic homeland, PUNJAB, were made 'slaves' of the Brahmins-Hindus.

The Sikhs were denied their political and religious rights in the Constitution of India passed in 1950. The Constitution which was 'rejected' by the Sikhs elected representatives to the Indian parliament/Lok Sabha in its draft and final forms. The Sikhs' representatives were Sardar Hukam Singh, Sardar Bhupinder Singh Maan and Sirdar Kapur Singh, ICS, MP, MLA and National Professor of Sikhism (all members of parliament). Since its 'rejection', none of the Sikhs representatives to the parliament has accepted/signed/endorsed the Indian Constitution 1950.

In 1966, the Sikhs motherland, Punjab, the Sikh Nation, was further

divided into Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh, by Indira Gandhi alias Maimuna Begum against the wishes of Sikhs.

To exterminate the Sikhs and to find a permanent relief from the Sikhs' problems and demands, Indira Gandhi's administration of New Delhi waged an 'undeclared' war on the Sikhs, by suspending all means of communication and transportation measures in the form of a brutal military "Operation Bluestar" of June, 1984. Since this 'undeclared' war, the Punjab,Sikh Nation, is no less than a 'Concentration Camp'.

Professor Devinder Pal Singh Bhullar, Bhai Daljit Singh Bittu, President, Panch Pradhani, a faction of Akali Dal-Amritsar, his associates, Bhai Balwant Singh Rajona, Dilawar Singh Hawara, along with Afzal Guru of the Internationally Disputed Areas of Jammu and Kashmir (IDA:JK) have been kept in the high security jails of the Brahmins-Hindus alleged democracy. Also, languishing in the high security and others jails of Punjab and alleged Indian democracy are more than 10,000 Sikh prisoners (male, female, youth and children), without charges and trials (www.punjabspectrum.com February 21st, 2011).

I would like to inform you, the ladies and gents, that just about 10-day ago, mass graves of Sikhs killed in two villages of Haryana in 1984 genocide of Sikhs, have been located in the village Hondh-Chillar of the Rewari district and in another village of Gurgaon district, Haryana.

Since August 15th, 1947, more than 3.4 million Sikhs have been killed in numerous genocide, pogroms, staged encounter killings, etc.; more than 500,000 Muslims in general; more than 200,000 Muslims of the IDA:JK since 1988; more than 312,500 Christians; more than 15,000 Tamils since 1990s; 15,000 citizens of Assam and 7-sister of Assam since 1990s; hundreds of thousand Dalits; hundred of thousand Adivaasis or Moolnivasis; several thousand citizens of Orissa, Bihar and Rajasthan; leaving aside the rapes, humiliation, persecution, atrocities, etc.

Punjab's natural resources are deliberately denied to the people of Punjab. There has been no heavy industry and IT industry in the Punjab of the Sikhs.

Pollution of the Punjab River Waters is 15 to 30-times higher than the internationally acceptable standards. Punjab's farmers are loaded with debts and they have been committing suicide.

The Sikhs' apex religious and political institutions (the Darbar Sahib Complex commonly and mistakenly called the Golden Temple Complex, Supreme Seat of Sikh Polity, The Akal Takht Sahib, and other gurdwaras) are under the 'Tight Control' of the New Delhi administration (NDA) and Punjab's Akali Dal-Badal's administrations.

22


Police, intelligence, para-military and armed forces, along with the NDA and Akali Dal-Badal administrations, are highly corrupt.

Mr. Chairman, Dr. Graves, ladies and gentlemen, I could go on and on, but under the time limitation, I have no choice but to conclude my presentation. The conclusion is that the 'minimum acceptable solution for the Sikhs is the "Sovereignty of the Sikhs Nation, Punjab," from the slavery of the 'Brahmins-Hindus, which includes the Punjab of August 15th, 1947 consisting of Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, and punjabi-speaking areas associated with Punjab and Chandigarh as well. It must be noted that the Punjabi language, script Gurmukhi, is the language of the Sikhs only, as the 'Brahmins-Hindus' of Punjab have 'disowned' their mother tongue in the census of 1966.

Discussion of Dr. Sekhon's Presentation:

The first question from the audience was fired by a gentleman from IDA: JK by saying Dr. Sekhon, what is the Punjab's present

situation as compared to the days of post-undeclared war of June, 1984?

Answering the question, Dr. Sekhon said this question could be answered from two views: the Brahmins-Hindus alleged Indian democracy’s viewpoint, and (ii) the Sikh Nation, Punjab's point of view. As far as the former (the Brahmins-Hindus' administration) is concerned, "everything is fine, normal and no problems exist in Punjab. From the Sikh nation's point of view, the Indian administration notoriously is a 'liar'. The Sikh Nation, Punjab's situation is 10-times worst today that what had been during the 'undeclared' of 1984 as discussed above. Further, the Sikhs do not trust the Brahmins-Hindus politicians, who have been professional liars.

Additionally, Dr. Sekhon said that the Prime Minister, Manmohan Sinh, of India is an 'unelected' person, he has not been elected from any electoral constituency of the parliament of India. There has not been any other example in the history of the democratic (presidential or the British system of democracy) countries where an unelected' person has been the Chief, Council of Ministers of a given country. This Manmohan Sinh has been abusing the democratic system of India, if that is democratic at all.

Chair: Dr G N Fai

Time: 15:00 - 17:00 Hrs

Date: March 15th, 2011

Making his quick comment, in view of the time limitation, Dr. Sekhon said to the Chair and audience that According to the Ho.n Congressman Dana Rohrabacher, who said in the House of Representatives of the United States, "As far as the Sikhs, Muslims and other non-Hindu minorities are concerned, India is a Nazi Germany to them."

Dr. Awatar Singh Sekhon's Participation in the Discussion Period of the Following:

SELF-DETERMINATION IN JAMMU AND KASHMIR

ROOM XXII DATE: MARCH 15th, 2011 CHAIR: BARRISTER A MAJID TRAMBOO TIME: 13:00 - 15:00 HRS PARTICIPANTS: Altaf Hussein Wani, Professor ZAYAS, and FIVE MORE Participating in the discussion, Dr. Sekhon addressed to the Chair that it is an opportunity and honor to be part of the discussion on the subject of the Self-Determination in the Internationally Disputed Areas of Jammu and Kashmir (IDA:JK) occupied by the largest democracy of our world, India, so to speak. First, Chair should not term Altaf H Wani's presentation as full of emotions. Mr. Chairman, when a massive rape of children, daughters, sisters and mothers is carried out by the armed personnel of the barbarian Brahmins-Hindus' alleged democracy IDA:JK), only a stone-hearted person could control his/her emotions. Pardon me for my expressions that Mr. Wani did not deliver his

presentation emotionally. Rather when such humiliation of the female sex is carried out massively, no person with due respect to the female sex, can remain 'stone-hearted', silent and without emotions. Mr. Chairman, I myself know what could be the humiliation, as I have gone through with my children, daughters. sisters and mothers in the time of an 'undeclared' war on the Sikh Nation, PUNJAB, Khalistan (under the occupation of the 'Brahmins-Hindus' alleged Indian democracy), in June, 1984, in the form of a brutal military "Operation Bluestar" of June, 1984, and in 1980s and 1990s. In fact, such humiliations are the 'modus operandi' of the barbarian Brahmins-Hindus, ever since the time Ashoka the great laid down his state's arms. The barbarians saw it the best opportunity and they 'exterminated' the followers of Buddhism (see Bali Ram Lahori's title, published from the Ambadekar Centre, Wolverhampton in 1990s). Secondly, Mr. Chairman, the process of Self-Determination is very simple, if one believes in it. If it is beating around the bush, as the Brahmins-Hindus alleged Indian democracy has been doing for over 63-years. I can cite two examples of 'referendum or 'Self-Determination'; twice in the French Canada (Province of Quebec) and once in Puerto Rico. In both these referenda, the French

AGENDA ITEM 4

General Debate

March 15th, 2011

Room XX

Delivered by Dr. Awatar Singh Sekhon Mr. President The Human Rights Council provides an opportunity to the society organizations to draw attention of the council to the situations of non-Hindu minorities' concerns. I would like to discuss the increasing influence of extremist Hindu-Brahmin organizations in Indian politics that have endangered the future of India as a 'federation'. Today, the Indian state is on the brink of being taken over by the Hindu militants and fundamentalists. The world community is aware that extremist organizations like the BJP (Bhartiya Janta Party) and its sister right wings have been given free hand to incite violence. The Government of India has failed to check their violent activities, to say the least. Swami Aseemanand, a leader of militant organization called RSS (Rashtriya Swamsewak Sangh), recently confessed to a special court in India about his involvement in several terror attacks against Muslims. It also included assault on the Samjauta Express train in 2007, that runs betwee n India and Islamic Republic of Pakistan. In that very incident, more than 60 innocent lives were

lost and burnt to death. This is one of the examples of increasing militancy and extremism in the Indian society, which is being patronized by the politicians of their parties. According to latest leak, Rahul Gandhi, top leader of the ruling part of India, believes that the bigger threat to India is due to radicalism that has mushroomed from the fundamentalist Hindu parties. This mushroom phenomenon creates religious tension and political confrontation with the Muslim community in particular and others in general. The same fears have been expressed by a number of other non-Hindus parties. Mr. President The government of India has a critical role to check the violations, if it does want to curb the role of the Hindu fundamentalists and militants, to protect the human rights of the minorities. In closing, I appeal to the council and its members to outlaw all right wing political parties which use and promote the agenda of violence and hatred. I thank you, Sir.

GETTING BACK THE BUDDHA GAYA

Sona Kanti Barua

Hindu fundamentalists and its Indian Government (largest democracy of the world), took over Buddhagaya Management Committee and they confiscated Buddhists rights in administrating the Mahabodhi Temple of the Buddhagaya, Bihar, India. Regrettably, it has been brought to our attention that there occurred serious sacrilegious acts (1) by King Sasanka (606-637) of Bengal (Gaur) who cut the Mahabodhi Tree of the Buddhagaya and removed Buddha statues and established a Siva lingam in the Mahabodhi Temple where Lord Buddha was enlightened 2555 years ago. According to the Indian Government Buddhagaya Act 1949, cutting Siva lingam through the prolonged litigation which has owned the front land of the Main Buddha Statue by Hindu priests in the Mahabodhi Temple and Buddhists could not pay respects to the Buddha in front of the Main Buddha statue. Everyday Hindu priests pray to the hole of the Siva Lingam and owned the front land of the Main Buddha Statue of the Mahabodhi Temple. (2) Later greedy Brahmin priests did not convert themselves into Buddhism but they made him a prophet of the God Visnu for political and social reasons and added in the Ramayana Ayodhya chapter verse no. 32, “Buddha is like a thief, know the Buddha to

be an atheist.” (3) Hindu fundamentalists took over thousands of Buddhist temples including (a) Jagannath Temple, Puri, Orissa and (b) Tirupati Balaji Temple. The Government of India has violated our Buddhists rights in creating the Hindu Management Committee in Buddhagaya where the Lord Buddha attained his supreme enlightenment 2,555 years ago. Hindu fundamentalists took over the holiest pilgrimage the Mahabodhi Temple (of the Buddhagaya) in the Buddhist world. It is remarkable that the triumph over prejudice and ignorance is a triumph for us all. Non-Buddhists should not interfere into the Indian minority. Buddhists religious freedom in the Buddhagaya management Committee in Bihar, India. Every religion is good without violence

Resolutions adopted during the 18 W.F. B. (World Fellowship of Buddhists), General Conference in Taiwan, dated October 27 - November 2, 1992; (i) ”Where as, the Buddhagaya Management Committee is now headed by a Hindu (the magistrate of Gaya District), and a committee of eight persons of whom four are Hindus;” (ii) Whereas, this is a very painful situation concerning a sacred religious place of one religious community being controlled

Canadians decided affirmatively, during the administrations of late want'. In the elections, Puerto Ricans sent a message Right Honourable Pierre Elliott Trudeau and Right Honourable Jean through their elections that "we would like to be the part of the U S," Chretien (Governments of Canada headed by Right Honourable and the U S lawmakers accepted the wishes of the Puerto Rican Pierre Elliott Trudeau and Right Honourable Jean Chretien, people. The matter had been decided by a majority vote.respectively), to be the part of Canada. That is all Mr. Chair. I wish you and the people of the IDA: JK all the In the latter case, the United States mandate to rule Puerto Rico was best and success to fulfill your dreams of the destiny of your people. I expiring, but the Puerto Ricans wanted to be the part of the US or be do not have ground to believe, however, that the apartheid-loving governed by the United States. In this case, the U S lawmakers asked Brahmins-Hindus of the alleged Indian democracy would give the the Puerto Recans that either 'you control your destiny by yourself or chance of 'Self-Determination' to the IDA:JK, because of the sincerity the people of Puerto Rico must vote on the question as to what they of the apartheid practicing 'Brahmins-Hindus' of the administration.

by a group of people belonging to a different faith whose avowed goals are detrimental to the interests of the other religion; (iii) Whereas, in the legitimate struggle of the Indian Buddhists to put an end to the sacrilege (Siva linga) that is being perpetrated at the sacred Buddhist site of Buddha Gaya, a historic duty and responsibility is cast upon the rest of the world’s Buddhist community to extend its fullest support, morally, financially, materially and vocally toward this cause; (iv) Whereas, we express our grateful thanks to the Venerable Japanese Bhikkhu Sangha (Buddhist Monks/rquote Council), including the Most Venerable Nagarjun Shurai Sasai for espousing the sacred cause of the Indian Buddhists from many parts of the globe assembled in Taiwan for the 18 nosupersub General Conference of the W.F.B., express our complete solidarity with the Indian and Japanese Buddhists to preserve the sanctity of Buddha for Buddhists; (v) therefore, Let it be resolved that the WFB Efforts immediately to galvanize international opinion in relevant international organizations to address the plight of the Buddhist community at Buddhagaya, further resolved that the WFB make an appropriate demarche/demands on the Indian Government to guarantee the management of Buddhagaya by Indian Buddhists.” In the Bodhgaya Management Committee “misuse of non-Buddhist Members power creates this problem. The non-Buddhists and Brahmins members should understand that.” “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood (Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights).” There is no common sense of human rights in Brahmanism and the Hindu society. There is a tragedy of caste system in the Hindu society. There are many Hindus who wish to convert into Buddhism. Brahmin priests ”tumultuous legacy of caste & livelihood system makes their followers captives of their faith. Lord Buddha taught them non-violence, love, wisdom and compassion. In India 2600 years ago after attained the supreme enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, Lord Buddha declared, “May all beings be happy.” “He added anti-clericalism of Brahmins caste system of Indian society is a movement that opposes religious interference into public and political life and more generally the encroachment of religion in the citizen’s lives.” The Buddha did not believe in Brahmin’s philosophy of division of mankind. He founded the Path of Universal Peace (Buddhism) to preach a way of life and inspired to attain spiritual enlightenment irrespective of castes, color, and religions. Whereas after India regained political independence from the British, the Government of Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru took the wheel of Buddha’s Dharma (Ashok chakra) on the national flag, the official seal of the government contains Ashokan symbols of the beating of drums of righteousness in all four quarters of the world symbolized by the roaring lions facing the directions and surmounted by the sacred wheel of the Buddha. At that time Indian Government made certain changes and gave representation to Buddhists to protect, control, maintain and develop the world Buddhists “most sacred place of Buddha Gaya for the benefit of Buddhist worship. ” Greed (several Brahmin priests or every fundamentalists of any religion) and hatred (several Hindu and Brahmin rulers & fanatic of any faith) are enemies of mankind. Buddhists have no freedom in the Hindu society relating to Buddha’s Four Noble Truths, Eightfold Path and the Supreme Enlightenment of the Buddha. Hindu leaders (R.R.S & Vishwa Hindu Parisad) including Mr. L.K. Advani made the Buddha as their God but there is no altar for the Buddha in Hindu temples, offices and homes. Moreover Hindu leaders confiscated Buddhist identity from the Buddhist community. No Hindu temple celebrates the Buddha Puja (worship) and Buddha Jayanti at home and abroad. But Hindu leaders demand the Buddha as their God. In hate speech cases against anti-Buddhists the context of about the

activities of political minds of rulers and priests Brahmins who was started Brahmanism to absorb the Buddhism of Indus Civilization (Miscellany on the Buddha (Buddhavamsa, History of Buddhas in Pali languages and Buddhism, M ohenjodaro and Harappa Cities by Swapan Kumar Biswas, 1999, 390 pages ). Nazi leaders like Indra (Hindu God who destroyed Buddhism in the Indus civilization) and the Sankarayacharyas and several kings and rulers took pride in demolishing the Buddhist images aiming at the total eradication of the Buddhist culture, traditions, heritages and civilization. Every Buddhist culture Hindus leaders modified into Hinduism in India. All Buddhists are Hindus in India. Are Burmese, Chinese, Japanese, American, Thai, and Tibetan Hindus of India? There are misconceptions in Hindu idea relating to Buddhism. Hindus neither control Sikh temples nor Jain temples. History repeats; misuse of religions makes a war. As the UNESCO explained, “Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that defenses of peace must be constructed.” There is an inquiry into causes and consequences of deprivation of Buddhists in India through the historical documents. Misuse of the religion of Brahmins, once made brutal cleansing of Buddhists in Indus civilizations (Mohenzodaro & Harappa) and Buddhist Temples were destroyed in India between 830 AD and 966 AD. Now what is happening in the secular India in the name of religion? Buddhists and peace loving people all over the world will have been shocked upon reading the news of “Monks question outsiders’ control over Bodh Gaya temple” in the South Asian Observer of Toronto, dated August 04, 2006 where we heard the voice of the Oppressed Buddhists made an Outcry who are deprived of religious rights in India. Where there is humanity, there is religion. Whereas this is a very painful situation concerning the sacred Buddha Gaya of world Buddhists’ holiest religious place being controlled by a group of non-Buddhists (Hindus) whose avowed goals are detrimental to the interests of the other religion. In spite of the fact that Buddhism is the national religion of Asian countries (Thailand, Burma, Laos, Sri Lanka, Burma, Japan, Korea, Tibet, China, Mongolia, Bhutan, (Sikkim was took over by India, Vietnam, etc. All other religions are given equal opportunity for their followers to practice their respective beliefs. More importantly, all religions in Thailand and other Buddhist countries are given adequate protection against any abuse or disrespect to any reason or objects of reverence. Under the penal code, any of the following acts against any religion is punishable by law: any act, by any means whatever, to an object or a place of reverence of any community in a manner likely to insult the religion Whoever causes any disturbance at any assembly law fully engaged in the performance of religious worship or religious ceremonies. Whoever dresses or uses a symbol showing that he is a Buddhist monk or novice, ascetic or clergymen of any religion unlawfully in order to make another person believe that he is such person. As an example, above articles in the Thai law indicate at least how the Thai code of law sincerely support the spirit of tolerance and understanding towards other religious groups. To repeat, this despite the fact that Buddhism is regarded as the Thai national religion. What is more noteworthy is also that the Thai Monarch, although a Buddhist , nevertheless is Buddhistically, the upholder of all religious groups in the kingdom. Do not all these instances reflect Thai Buddhists’ spirit of tolerance, sympathy and understanding towards whoever and whatever is different from Buddhist or Thai government principles? From the Buddhist standpoint, Hindu fundamentalists they have themselves sunk so low that we have to pity them and pray, with a compassionate sprit, that they understand they are doing so at their own spiritual peril, and thus stop doing so in the Mahabodhi Temple of Buddhagaya. Therefore, let it be resolved that the Indian

25


Buddhist community exert all efforts immediately to galvanize international opinion in relevant international organizations including UNESCO to address the plight of Buddhist community at Buddhagaya. Further resolved that world Buddhists make an

appropriate demarche on the Indian Government to guarantee the management of Buddha Gaya (Bodhgaya) by Indian Buddhists soon. * The author is the President, Indo-Canadian Buddhist Council of Toronto

NEWS, VIEWS, SHORT ARTICLES, ETC.

Kashmiris and Sikhs observe Indian Republic Day as Black Day

Habib Yousafzai

Spokesperson (World Kashmir Diaspora Alliance)

The Kashmiris and Sikhs demonstrated, on January 29, 2011, in

front of the Pearson Convention Centre, 2638 Steeles Ave E.

Brampton, Ontario, where the Indian Government's personnel have

been celebrating the 'Brahmins-Hindus' alleged Indian democracy's

62nd Republic Day. All walks of life including children, woman

and elders participated in the event. The participants were

protesting against gross human rights violations, persecution,

terrorism, atrocities, etc., which are being committed in the alleged

Indian democracy, since its inception. In addition to gross

violations of human rights, the Indian administration has been

committing genocide of non Hindu minorities (the Kashmiris,

Sikhs, Muslims, Assamese, Manipuris, Adivaasis, Dalits,

Christians, etc.) have been committed in the highly anti-non-

Brahmins-Hindu minorities in the name of being a democratic

nation, since 15th August, 1947. The overview of the presentation

done by the Kashmiri and Sikh leaders was as follows:

Farooq Siddiqi (Pappa Sahib) termed the Indian repression much

worse than enacted by the dictatorial regimes of the Arab World

and asked the world to take notice of the simmering anger in

Kashmir before it is too late. The new generation of Kashmiris is

extremely angry and frustrated as India continues its relentless

military repression. The world must take notice and convince India

to address the just demands of self determination before a Kashmiri

revolution topples everything and engulfs the whole region.

Questioning the rationale of Pakistan’s Kashmir policy, Papa said,

“It is quite confusing that the Pakistani Government claims to

support Kashmiris’ right to self determination but engages India on

Kashmir in a bilateral framework that does not recognize Kashmiris

as a party”.

Dr. Azrab Khan commented that more than 200,000 Kashmiri

citizens have been killed since 1988; more than 500,000 Muslims

in general; more than 3.4 million Sikhs; 15,000 Assamese and 7-

sister of Assam; more than 312,500 Christians; hundreds of

thousands of Dalits, etc. Who says that the Indian state is a

democratic state? Rather, the Indian claim of being a democratic

republic is a hoax, as it continues to commit atrocities on Non-

Hindu minorities, the Kashmiris and Sikhs in particular.

Khawaja Rafiq said that Justice Qadri of the Gujarat High court is

on record when he said "Indian state failed to protect the lives of

Muslims of Gujarat state, under Article 14 of the Indian

Constitution.”

Ajit Singh Sahota said since 15th August, 1947, including the

Indian constitution of 1950, Indian democracy has failed

appallingly to protect human life since it became an independent

state, predominantly ruled by the 'Brahmins and high caste Hindus'.

Sardar Balkar Singh reiterated that the Sikhs have no Constitutional

right according to the Indian Constitution of 1950, Article 25. He

said Sonia Gandhi and L K Advani are enemies of Sikhs, and other

minorities’ i.e., the fundamentalists and militants castes of the

'Brahmins and Hindus'. Fifty years later we are saying Master Tara

Singh and Baldev Singh were traitors and despite the fact the

British were recognizing three nations Sikh, Muslim and Hindus

who will have veto power in the decision but their offer was

ignored. He also added that we do not have to wait another 50 years

in making the decision. Why not declare now that the 'unelected'

Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh and Parkash Singh Badal, are

traitors, of the Sikhs and human rights violators, along with a real

hurdle in the freedom of the 'Landless Sikh Nation, PUNJAB,

Khalistan'.

Bhupinder Singh Dhillon said in Punjab (Khalistan), over 50,000

Sikhs have been languishing in Indian jails without any charge;

with prime examples of Sardar Daljit Singh Bittu, President, Panch

Pradhani, Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana, Bhai Dilawar Singh,

Professor Devinder Pal Singh Bhullar and their close associates,

These Sikh freedom fighters are in jails under bogus charges.

Mr Ayub Qureshi a veteran Kashmiri leader affirmed that we shaall

not sleep until our nation is free.

26


Mr. Habib Yousafzai specifically mentioned “we would like to let

the world know that we are determined to no longer live under

the occupation of the Indian government as we are not a part of it

and never have been. He demanded that the Indian government

must cease its illegal occupation on Kashmir, because it has failed

to protect the life of its citizens. He further condemned the New

Delhi administration for asking the State Governments, police and

soldiers to use “oppressive tactics” for suppressing the will of

Kashmiris and other non-Brahmins-Hindus, specifically the Sikhs

of Punjab, citizens of Assam and its 7-sister, etc.” He further

cautioned to the Indian government, “Treat us (Kashmiris) in such

a way that in case we see each other again as neighbors, you can

face us.”

The participants who also addressed the protestors were Shahjahan

Khan, Javed Khan, Qammar khurshid, Zahid Hussain, and Noushad

Hussain. The demonstration was concluded with the decision that

the "peaceful struggle will continue on until India quits Kashmir

and Khalistan."

WHEN IT COMES TO THE SIKHS, IT IS THE GENOCIDE, INJUSTICE, SIKH RELIGION, THE SIKH WAY OF LIFE, OR

THEIR SOVEREIGNTY?

Dr. Awatar Singh Sekhon Since August 15th, 1947 the Sikhs have lost almost everything in their lives what it is needed for their very survival. First of all, the Sikhs lost their Sikh Nation, Holy and Historic Homeland, PUNJAB, the Sikh Nation what it used to be the 'First Sovereign and Secular Nation' of South Asia. This was the Sikh Nation, PUNJAB, of monarch Ranjit Singh, 1799 to March 14th, 1899. Let us go a little further, there has been a historical evidence, which many a Sikh would not like to even mention it, because it had been the so-called Sikhs' leader, a Brahmin turned to a Khatri (Malhotra) and then became a member of the 'House of Baba Guru Nanak Sahib (the founder of the Sikh Religion)', a leader of the Sikhs' Akali Party, and who came with the contacts of a Baniya named MK Gandhi (the person who insulted the 10th Master of the Sikhs, who revealed the 'Khalsa Panth or Guru Khalsa Panth. The Baniya MK Gandhi insulted the 10th Master by calling him with the passing the derogatory remarks/language) and a Brahmin, JL Nehru. This master Tara Singh 'devoid' of the teachings of Guru Granth Sahib, had more than a million of Sikh killed in a genocide before August 15th, 1947. On August 15th, 1947 the friend and follower of a Gujrati Baniya and a Kashmiri Brahmin (MK Gandhi and JL Nehru), 'swallowed' the Sikh Nation, Punjab. On October 10th, 1947, these two friends and supporters of Master Singh declared through a state circular the "Sikhs are lawless people and are dangerous to the law-abiding Hindus-Brahmins." Did the Sikhs remember these words and act in terms of what is in store for them in the era post- October 10th, 1947 period? Since August 15th, 1947 more than 3.4 million Sikhs of the 'Landless Sikh Nation, PUNJAB, Khalistan, have been killed in numerous genocide, pogroms, fake-encounter killings of Sikh youth, Sikh females have been humiliated in the 1978 massacre of Sikhs in Amritsar, an 'undeclared' war in the form of a brutal military "Operation Bluestar" of June, 1984, 1980s, 1990s, together with the genocide of the Sikh culture by the 'Bollywood Movie Industry's Bikni Culture' and under the 'ulterior motives' adopted by the Hindu-Brahmin fundamentalists and militants. The so-called Sikh politicians, if they are the politicians at all, jathedars/band leaders appointed by the State administration of the Sikhs' Holy and Historic Homeland, etc., have turned bootlickers/Chapliachuts of the 'Brahmins-Hindus' alleged Indian Institution of democracy. Has any professionals, politicians, the Sikh youth followers of the Bollywood's Bikni Culture paid any attention to their quickly deteriorating Sikh Culture, Sikh Religion, Sikh politicians, Sikh academia, Sikh professionals, Sikhs of the armed forces, etc? No, not at all. Under the promotional programs, everything is 'fine, be happy with the consumption of alcohol, drugs, filthy songs in the

name of entertainment and cultural programs, etc. The Sikh youth, you need not to think about your future. We, the Brahmins-Hindus will take care of you, to destroy you and uproot you. The bootlickers of the Brahmins-Hindus are taking you away from educating you. In essence, your enemy will make you a culture-less entity, devoid of everything which makes you a person to fit in the society of the 'Brahmins-Hindus' and its main stream as we, the Brahmins did in the Devdasi culture (a taboo) of our Hindu temples. You, the Sikh youth, have been made the victims of the 'Brahmins-Hindus' Educational System, prescribed, watched and executed carefully by the 'Brahmins-Hindus' Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) networks. And by the time you come to your senses (or open up your eyes), it would have been too late, or you have missed the boat. We, the Brahmins-Hindus, will never let you to come to your senses. This is our policy, the Sikh youth, if you try to understand it. This will continue to destroy the Sikh Culture, your religious institutions, reading, reciting, and making your future plans for your uplift, based on the 'reading and reciting your Holy Scripture, Guru Granth Sahib ji, the compilation of the teachings of the Sikh Guru Sahibans, from Guru Baba Nanak Sahib to Sahib Guru Gobind Singh ji', should you come to your senses from our (Brahmins-Hindus) ulterior motives. Until you, the Sikhs, realize that you belong to the 'House of Guru Baba Nanak Sahib alias Guru Khalsa Panth', the Brahmins-Hindus would have a 'Tight Control' on your life as we the Brahmins-Hindus have already having your apex institution under our 'Tight fist', using your turbaned Brahmins-Hindus in 'The Sikh Identity'. Until you, the Sikh youth, realize that the 'Brahmins-Hindus' are neither a culture nor a religion, and all out to 'swallow' the Sikh Religion. Until your soul compels you that you need to know your Sikh History from the Sikh point of view. The Sikh History from the Sikh point of view will never be allowed to be read, practiced and learned by you. That is what our plans are to destroy your 'religion and culture'. The Sikh religion which is the 5th largest religion of the world. Many of the Sikh Diaspora have formed their groups, professional outfits, Simran Sewa, Law Societies, etc., to tackle the Genocides, human, religious rights, gross human rights of the Sikhs and non-Hindu-Brahmin minorities. Good for you, the Sikh professionals of the Sikh Diaspora. But do not forget, you will never succeed until you know your own history, i. e., The Sikh History from the Sikh Point of view. Please do not forget the so-called Sikh politicians or the turbaned 'Brahmins-Hindus' in 'The Sikh Identity' will never let you succeed until you have fulfilled the primary requirements to 'Read, recite and understand your own Holy Scripture, Guru Granth

Sahib ji'. Further, you professionals, always write under your messages that 'Please send your donations/contributions' for the work you have been doing by spending your precious time in engaging yourself in the "Gross Human Rights violations, genocide, fake-encounters of your community, The Sikh Diaspora," you have to ask and you are required in accordance with the Sikh Way of Life, where is your 'Daswand or Tith, or at least one-tenth of your income that is required to be spent on the house you belong to, i. e., the 'House of Guru Baba Nanak Sahib or the Guru Khalsa Panth'? You need not to answer this question to anyone, simply have to ask yourself; but to ask yourself only. Simply, my dears, by saying 'Maya Mastani Ho gayi hai, Tuhaada Dafter Band Ho giya hai; Khalsa ji, Paise (monetry) di madad karo, Singho. The people who have been a 'part' in prolonging the "Sikhs' Struggle to Regain Their Lost Sovereignty, Independence and Political power of the 'Sikh Nation, PUNJAB, ever since they Lost their Struggle (the Sikhs) on the fateful day of March 14th, 1849." Answerable to the "Sikhs' Struggle of Sovereignty by peaceful means," are Master Tara Sinh, Fateh Sinh, Chanan Sinh, Pratap S Kairon, the Majithias of Amritsar, Prakash Sinh Badal (an agent of the RAW), Badal-Akalis Private Limited Incorporation, Badal and his 'joe boys and joe girls', jathedars and the Sikh youth, for whom you have been fighting their cases of genocide - the Sikh Diaspora professional. Indeed, the money is needed, but not for those who 'Do Not' have the Road Map for the Sikh Nation, the Sikhs' Sovereignty. The latter is the 'Life line for the Sikhs' Survival'. My dears (Sikhs) do not forget that what you need and what will your devotion should be for the 'Sikhs' Sovereignty, nothing less than the Sovereignty'. With due respect to the Sikh professional lawyers, you have attained your expertise in the field of law, international law, but you need to have a 'big' heart to know which you have no choice but to come to the grip of your enemy's motives that the Indian Constitution 1950 was 'rejected' in the Indian parliament repeatedly in 1948, November 26th, 1949, 1950 and more recently on September 6th, 1966, by the Sikh representatives to the Lok Sabha (Sardar Hukam Singh, Sardar Bhupinder Singh Mann and Sirdar Kapur Singh, ICS, MP, MLA and the National Professor of Sikhism, on behalf of their electorates of the 'Landless Sikh Nation, PUNJAB, Sikh Nation, Khalistan; presently under the occupation of the Brahmins-Hindus' Indian State. None of the Sikh members of parliament has accepted/signed/endorsed the Indian Constitution). With best wishes and warmest regards, my dear Sikh youth who have been anxiously working to break the chains of the "Brahmins-Hindus' slavery. Please always remember that (i) the Sikhs had their Sikh Nation on the world map until the British Empire took over from the Sikhs, (ii) the 'Brahmins-Hindus had been 'subservient' for more than 3500 years and up until the morning hours of August 15th, 1947 (iii) the Sikh Nation under the British Empire was "annexed'" to the British Empire for the administration purposes only, (iv) please do not forget to read "Betrayal of Sikh Nation” By Master Tara Singh With British Document of Transfer of Power 1947. Written and Compiled by Ram Singh (UK), Second Edition, August 2009, ISBN 978-0-9811360-6-6; the Indian Constitution 1950's Article 14A, which provides protection to its every citizen, has been rendered 'ineffective' not only once, twice,

three times but several times to 'eradicate' the Sikhs and Muslims in particular and the non-Brahmin-Hindu minorities in general.

KASHMIRIS & NON-BRAHMINS-HINDU MINORITIES FATE MUST BE DECIDED NOW

Habib Yousafzai, Spokesperson, World Kashmir Diaspora Alliance (WKDA)

On behalf of the WKDA in particular and non-Brahmin-Hindu minorities in general (especially the Sikhs of the 'Landless Sikh Nation, Sikh Raj, Punjab, Khalistan, Christians, Assamese including their 7-sisters, Tamils, Dalits, Adivaasis, etc.), I am bound to make a statement that the time has come when the right of 'Self-Determination', promises given before August 15th, 1947 and unfulfilled promises be carried out to the non-Brahmin-Hindu minorities people who have been laying their lives to control their destiny and their future generations as 'Sovereign' people of Kashmir, Punjab, Assam, Christians, Dalits, Adivaasis, etc. This is the time when the 'Brahmins-Hindus' barbarous acts must immediately be stopped, bloodshed must be stopped, as enough blood of Kashmiris and other minorities have been 'sucked' by the 'Brahmins-Hindus' monsters in the 'Brahmins-Hindus alleged Indian democracy, since August 15th, 1947. I am leaving the persecution, prosecution, terrorism, gross human rights violations, genocide, humiliation, dehumanization, fake-encounter killings, etc. of the Kashmiri and non Kashmiri people (see above) aside. The non-Brahmins-Hindus people of the alleged Indian democracy, hereafter called the 'Institution of barbarous killings”, must be freed and saved from further loss of human lives at the hand of armed institutions of the alleged Indian democracy.

Since August 15th, 1947 more than 200,000 Kashmiri citizens have been killed ( since 1988); more than 500,000 Muslims in general; more than 3.4 million Sikhs; 15,000 Assamese and 7-sister of Assam; more than 312,500 Christians; hundreds of thousands of Dalits, etc. Who says that the Indian state is a democratic state? Rather, the Indian claim of being a democratic republic is a hoax, as it continues to commit atrocities on Non-Brahmin-Hindu minorities, the Kashmiris and Sikhs in particular. The United Nations must pay attention that it has failed to carry out 1948's resolution of the Security Council to carry out 'Self-Determination' in the Indian-occupied Internationally Disputed Areas of Jammu and Kashmir.

The Honorable Sir, how long the people of Kashmir, Sikhs of Punjab, Assamese, Cgristians, Dalits, Adivaasis, Tamils, etc., have to suffer? The time is now let the people to be 'Sovereign', who have been struggling for their 'Sovereignty' since August 15th, 1947 and long before August 15th, 1947.

The Barbarism of the armed personnel of the 'Institution of the Brahmins-Hindus' must stop immediately.

KHALSA COLLEGE, AMRITSAR, SIKH INSTITUTIONS & THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE SIKHS" HOLY AND

HISTORIC HOMELAND, PUNJAB, SIKH NATION, KHALISTAN (under the occupation of the alleged Indian

democracy, since August 15th, 1947): HOW LONG WOULD YOU, THE SIKHS, TOLERATE HUMILIATION BY THE

"Brahmins-Hindus' democracy?"


Sirdar Gurmit Singh Khalsa ji

AUSTRALIA

Piare Vade Bhai Sahib ji, Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh! I am writing further than what I wrote to you this morning on the "Sikh Institutions and the their Holy and Historic Homeland, PUNJAB, SIKH NATION, KHALISTAN, which are under the 'Tight Control' of the alleged 'Institution of Brahmins-Hindus' democracy, hereafter called the 'Institution'. Since August 15th, 1947 the Sikhs' homeland has been under the gross human rights violations, genocide, staged-encounter killings of the Sikh youth, political, educational, social and religious genocide, along with an 'undeclared' war in the form of a brutal military "Operation Bluestar" of June, 1984, along with 1978's genocide of the Sikhs in Amritsar, under the Akali administration headed by Prakash (Hanera/Darkness) Sinh Badal and his head-haunchos. It was none else but Hanera Sinh Badal who had joined the Hindus Congress and later became an Akali, to enjoy political power in the Sikhs' Holy and Historic Homeland, Punjab. It was no one else but Hanera Sinh Badal, who with the blessings of Indira Gandhi alias Maimuna Begum of the New Delhi administration (NDA), who created the 'law and order' problem in Punjab and put the blame of everything on the Sikhs' only religious and political leader of the 20th century, Shaheed-Bilas Saint-Soldier Jarnail Singh Khalsa (Bhindranwale). It was no one else but the clique of Hanera Sinh Badal and his cohorts like Gurcharan Tohra, Harchand Longowal, Balwant Ramoowalia, Surjit Barnala, etc., who branded the Sikh youth and the Sikh leader and his staunch supporters and followers as 'terrorists, radicals, fundamentalists, etc., to say the least. It was no one else but Hanera Sinh Badal and his cohorts who gave a 'green signal' to the NDA to wage an 'undeclared' war on the Sikh Nation, PUNJAB. It was no one else but Hanera Sinh Badal and cohorts who made the Sikh Nation, PUNJAB, a 'CONCENTRATION CAMP' in the days of "Operation Bluestar" of June, 1984. It was no one else but Hanera Sinh Badal and his cohorts who had given a 'green signal' to make the Sikh Nation, PUNJAB, an arena of the Sikh youth killings, using the Butcher Sikh police Chief, KP Gill and associates. The KP Gill and company and the CPRF (Central Police Reserve Force) had been keeping four deep pans of 10x12 feet of boiling oil to use to

torture and kill Sikh youth by the thousands in number in Amritsar. One of the torture victims was Bhai Gurdev Singh of the Jalandhar district. Along with the above, initiated Sikh females were tortured in mass, massively raped, but the Guru Khalsa Panth must keep its head high that the Sikh females did not give in. What I have described above are not the 'HUMILIATION' of the Sikhs, males and females, by the butchered turbaned police officers, turbaned politicians of Punjab and the NDA, then what else it was? Would anyone give me the definition of 'Humiliation' than what I have described from time to time on the humiliation of the Sikhs, Sikhs' institutions, Guru Khalsa Panth's humiliation, since August 15th, 1947. What Bhai Ranjodh Singh ji has said a little over 24-h ago, that the "hands which reach for the desecration of the Dastaar (Turban) of a Sikh, must be 'chopped off'. Bhai Ranjodh Singh ji is damn right as to how the Sikhs are humiliated. The only answer to the Sikhs' problem of humiliation, genocide, stealing the PUNJAB RIVER WATERS, Punjab's by-products of the River waters, polluting the River Waters, forcing the Punjab's farmers to commit suicide, re-storing deteriorated 'Law and Order' situation, curb the corruption, from bottom to top, is nothing less than the "SOVEREIGNTY OF PUNJAB." The Sikhs have no relationship with the 'Brahmins-Hindus' of the NDA. Punjab's Brahmins-Hindus disowned their 'Mother, the Punjabi tongue/Language' in the census of 1960s. Guru Baba Nanak Sahib, the founder of Sikhism or the Sikh Religion says in the Sikhs' Holy Scripture: Guru Granth Sahib ji: "Mathe Tikka Terrh Dhotti Kakhaii Hath Chhurri Jagat Kasai," means that the 'Brahmin is the Butcher of this peaceful world'. Only 'Sovereignty of Sikhs' can protect the Sikhs from the Brahmins-Hindus' humiliation. Sovereignty of the Sikhs is the solution of all problems of the Sikhs. Sooner or later the Sikhs will reclaim their Sovereignty of their Holy and Historic land, PUNJAB, SIKH NATION, KHALISTAN. The Punjab of post- August 15th, 1947, i. e., the partition of 1947. Last but not the least, those my brothers and sisters who think that Manmohan Sinh, Chief, Council of Minister, NDA, Amrandir of Patiala will resolve the 'Dastaar' problem, I would like to comment that 'please do not beat around the bush'. Best wishes and warmest regards. Thank you.

Book Reviews

Open Secrets-India’s Intelligence Unveiled by Maloy Krishna Dhar (2005) [552P] ISBN: 81-7049-240-8

www.manaspublications.com

Reviewer: K Singh

M.K. Dhar a Bengali Brahmin of East Pakistani extraction tells his

tale of 29 years of serving in the India’s Intelligence Bureau while

being a field operator. Armed with a degree in Journalism Dhar

joined the Indian Police service in 1965. He eventually got inducted

into the Intelligence Bureau (IB) based on his professional service.

Chapter 1-9:

Dhar in these several chapters weaves all his little spy stories while

stationed in the North-East, from Darjeeling to Nagaland. Spying is

no simple art and does require a person to lock away the conscience

since information is bartered with dire consequences. The Hindu

‘holy texts’ contain a character called ‘Nardmuni’ in their fairy tale

stories. Nardmuni is a spy who collects information and dispenses

misinformation. Dhar’s job is exactly that and in his own words he

performs it with aplomb. Fortunately the only folks, who can judge

his work now, will be readers like me. It is clear from the Dhar’s

writings that he is rabidly biased against the Muslims and few other

minorities. He thinks he is very honest because he apparently never

accepted a bribe, but honesty also means carrying out other deeds

without deceit, which Dhar conveniently ignores. Every

unimaginable trick has been used by Dhar to misuse information

against small defenseless minorities to ultimately dominate them. I

had found the ordinary Naga home more civilized and polished

than any Hindu home even in the cities like Delhi and

Calcutta….[Page 152] These very same Nagas who are more

cultured than the Hindus as per Dhar are being killed because their

human rights are being trampled on and they want freedom from

the domineering Indian government. Unfortunately for the Hindus

there is no such focused social machinery…….The Arya Samaj and

the RSS have failed in this crucial field of unifying the Hindu

society….[Page 152] Dhar at least acknowledges this fact even

though he is an avid follower of the same organizations.

Chapter 10:

The word Hindu is a geopolitical description and not a religious

marker….[Page 163]

congregate at Anandpur on March 30, 1699. On this day, he laid down religion. Sikhism believes in one God, formless, Omni present, it is the foundations of Khalsa. Sahib Guru Gobind Singh Ji initiated the the master and protector of humanity. The Guru Sahib also advised Sikhs by administering Amrit, prepared in a steel bowl mixing the his followers that he who kills his daughter, the Khalsa shall not deal drinking water with the crystallized sugar known as Patashas in with him. Punjabi, string with a double-edged sword, called Khanda, reciting The 10th Master, Guru Gobind Singh Sahib, has also blessed you with Gurbani inscribed in Guru Granth Sahib, the Holy Scripture of the the five K's and you will observe as a pledge of your dedication to the Sikhs. The initiation took place first to five volunteers who offered Sovereign Sikh Nation (religion+the Sikh politics). These 5-Ks are:themselves to sacrifice their lives for their Guru Sahib. These five Kash: Hair unshorn representation of saintlinessinitiated are called “the five beloved ones”(Panj Piare). Following Kangha: A comb to keep hair clean and untangled.their initiation, Guru himself requested to the 'five beloved one' to Karrah: An iron/steel bracelet protects the forearm in combat.administer him the Amrit, so that he could become like them and Kachhera: Underwear (special under garment)'Revealed the Khalsa'. The five beloved ones were Bhai Daya Singh, Kirpan: is made of metal and mistakenly called as sword or sharp Bhai Dharam Singh, Bhai Himmat Singh, Bhai Mohkam Singh, and knife (to be used for self-defence) only the Dastaar (Turban) as Bhai Sahib Singh. inscribed in Guru Granth Sahib: "Sabat Surat Dastaat Sira" which In the five hour Revelation of Khalsa Day Parade, the writer noted means a Sikh's Identity is not complete without covering his/her head exemplary discipline shown by the Sikh participants. All sorts of food with a Dastaar/scarf (for females) or Chuni.

These are not only tenets of the Sikh religion but makes you feel to be and sweets were distributed free to everyone. The event had been a 'sovereign' nation also, as the Guru blessed his Sikhs to concluded exactly what I expressed, in accordance with the teaching be'sovereign'. Your fight for freedom started the day the Tenth master of Sikh religion, its tenets and the Sikh Way of Life. The Tenth Guru revealed the Khalsa Panth and this fight/struggle will continue until Sahib recited rallying slogans of Khalsa belongs to God; victory nation becomes a 'Sovereign Sikh nation, Khalistan'. It should be belongs to the Almighty (Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki freed from the Indian-occupation. The flag of Khalistan/Sikh Fateh). He named the Sikh males as “Singh” (lion/prince), and Nation/PUNJAB of 15th August, 1947 will be waving equal to the designated his followers collectively as Khalsa (the Sovereign flags of other free nations. Please do not forget my dear brothers, nation). My sisters you know more than me about the Sikhism, but I sisters and Sikh youth that the Punjab of monarch Ranjit Singh, 1799 maintain that Sikhism is the only religion wherein women are to 14th March, 1849, was the first 'Sovereign and Secular' nation of regarded at par to men. Not only men, women were also initiated into South Asia.Khalsa and given the title of “Kaur” (princess). The Sikh religion

does not discriminate on the basis of caste, color, or creed, and, also does not believe in rituals of any kind; as such, it is casteless, classless

30


Dhar has to re-read his religious history to realize that the word

Hindu as per the Urdu dictionary means some of the following;

chor, daku, lootera (thief, robber, crook). All those practicing

Brahminical customs were labeled ‘Hindu’ by the Mughal

conquerors based on their observations. The pronunciation of the

word Sindu to Hindu is a farce.

Chapter 11:

I must make it clear that none of the top Naga underground leaders

I met was ‘paid agent’ of the IB…..Cultivation of such ‘friendship’,

however, was appreciated by the IB and the Government of India.

Such friendship ‘is an intelligence gathering procedure’, otherwise

known as diplomatic engagement……[Page 173]

Nagas at various times as admitted by Dhar saved his life and were

extremely respectful towards his family, yet Dhar used the

‘intelligence’ he gathered, against the same people who gained his

trust. Even prostitutes have more integrity!

Chapter 12:

I had often fought wars against them. But those wars were related

to national security. These were not directed against the people of

the states. I think I helped the process of integration by using the

tools of subversion. Conversion, and equalization of our mutual

perspectives on vital national and local tribal issues……[Page 187]

When a group whose distinctive features, customs, religion,

language and everything else is completely alien to the ruler, the

ruled will want freedom and liberty as it is but natural. To forcibly

mainstream a group by railroading them is height of chicanery,

racism and outright injustice. Nagas have been fighting for self rule

for over 60 years and many genocides have been committed against

a helpless race all in the name of India’s national integration,

thanks to ‘satans’ like Dhar.

Chapter 13;

The IB unit was reeking with corruption and nepotism. The caste

configuration of the top management was 100% brahminical and

the youngest of them had already earned reputation as a freelance

boozer and womanizer……[Page 188]

The bane of India has always been the overt and covert control of

all government machinery by the cunning Brahmins who have their

tentacles into every facet of the social fabric with a lopsided

predominance in all the civil services throughout India, considering

that they barely make up 3.5% of the total Indian population.

Chapter 14:

He refused to recognize the fact that an intelligence operative is

required to kiss even a venomous cobra……[Page 203]

The reality is that men like Dhar are the king cobras of modern day

India and claim to be as holy as the cobras strung around the neck

of the Hindu ‘god’ Shiva! The venom spread by Dhar ruined the

lives of thousands of innocents instead of saving many as he

claims.

Chapter 15:

I derived satisfaction out of the facts that I had done whatever I

could do to establish the Intelligence Bureau as a respected wing of

the government of India in Sikkim….I had succeeded in

penetrating almost all segments of the Sikkimese society. The

politicians and the people had started looking up to the IB unit as

an independent window to Delhi….In my perception it was no

mean an achievement…..[Page 227]

An independent sovereign country is invaded and taken over by

force completely illegally by India. Later every trick in Nardmuni’s

tool belt is used to break down a uniquely cohesive society so it’s

pliable for the Brahmin masters in Delhi for which Dhar is patting

himself on the back.

Chapter 16:

I also suggested creation of a separate unit for training IB officers

in the tenets of Islam, and shaping them up as ‘real

Muslims’……[Page 231]

This is exactly how the Indian government got hardened Hindu

criminals a reprieve by teaching, training and actually made them

look like ‘Sikhs’ and then sending them to Punjab to murder

innocents so that in the eyes of the public, Sikhs would be blamed

as terrorists. State sponsored terrorism at its best played out in the

open killing fields of Punjab for over a decade and people like Dhar

are responsible for the deaths of over a quarter million innocent

Sikhs.

Chapter 17:

After a month’s prodding I was accosted by a tall and burly Jat

police inspector at my Faridkot House office…..He had just

managed a posting at a coveted police station in central Delhi after

defraying an awesome expenditure of Rupees 500,000. he got it

because he was the highest bidder. His collections were yet to equal

the expenditure incurred by him. “You tell me sir,”…...”Is it fair to

drag me out of that police station at this stage? Should I not earn at

least an additional 1,500,000?”….[Page 244]

The above practice of paying bribes to for a coveted posting in

order to make more money is simply the norm across India, also up

and down the police hierarchy. Nothing moves without greasing the

palms anywhere. So it is strange that Dhar claims to be a saint.

31


My painstaking research and intelligence penetration had

succeeded in identifying over four union ministers and over two

dozen members of the Parliament who were on the payrolls of the

KGB operatives….But the most surprising area of penetration of

the KGB was the Ministry of Defense and those layers of the

Armed Forces, which were responsible for procurement of military

hardware. My list of these galactic stars did not amuse the bosses

and I was advised to ‘secure’ those information in my

archive….[Page 248-249]

Rampant graft among the Members of Parliament and top Generals

is common but hushed up most of the time except for a rare

occasion when one particular person has too many enemies within.

Even The Minister of Defense George Fernandes was caught red

handed on video accepting massive bribes by the ‘Thelaka’

investigative team of journalists and yet nothing happened to him

since the rot stems right to the very top.

Chapter 18:

On the eve of the Asiad ’82, I was present in one of the security

related meetings taken by a cabal member of Rajiv…..The

representatives of the RAW and IB pressed for strict movement

controls on the Sikhs traveling to Delhi from other Indian locations,

especially Panjab……I felt blanket harassment and humiliation of

the Sikhs we would simply push the moderates to the lap of

Bindranwale, who had already started screaming for ‘Khalistan’, a

separate homeland for the Sikhs…..In one of the meetings Rajiv

even spoke in favor of using ‘terrorizing tools to destroy the

terrorists’…..[Page 275]

It is amazing to see how educated spies like Dhar are narrow

minded, with a limited vision like their leaders with blinders on and

a peanut for a brain. Sant Jarnail Singh never asked for a Khalistan

and thrusting lies onto someone without proof is ridiculous but

what would Dhar know about integrity and the truth as a double

dealer of lies! Further Rajiv Gandhi was directly responsible in

aiding and abetting the Hindu terrorists who killed over 20,000

innocent Sikhs in and around Delhi alone in Nov 1984, not to

mention the other 250,000 murdered by him and his henchmen in

Punjab.

Indian identity of certain social practices is necessarily not of

Hindu origin, though my RSS friends tend to identify ‘Indian-ness’

with Hinduism……[Page 287]

Dhar is a contradiction just like his faith but on occasion does come

out with sensible statements.

Chapter 19:

I had at my disposal one home based and two Canada based Indian

staff running the well stocked but badly indexed library, reading

room and in bring out the ‘India News’, weekly bulletin prepared

and printed in the Mission……[Page 291]

Practically all Indian newspapers in Canada were under the direct

or indirect control of the RAW & IB so that they could continue

their disinformation campaign indefinitely.

A couple of important Sikh separatists who had committed heinous

crimes in India had found safe haven in Canada……Talvinder

Singh Parmar…..[Page 292]

Dhar again conveniently omits that some of the men he mentions

were agents groomed by his own office to carry on their activities

on behalf of the Indians to malign the Sikhs.

Chhatwal advised me to prioritize my task in the following fashion;

penetration of a few selected gurdwara; cultivations of a few

identified targets amongst the most vocal section in the Sikh

community; penetration of the Punjabi print and electronic media

and control of the print and electronic media operated by the non-

Sikh segments…..;creation of a few clandestine human assets in the

‘lumpen’ segment of the Sikh workforce in Canada…..; to reach

out to the Indian community with saturated supplies of audio and

video cassettes on current affairs in India and specially filmed…..to

target the mainstream Canadian print and electronic media…..to

generate a few friends amongst the Canadian Members of

Parliament…….[Pages 293-294]

These very key points mentioned by Dhar and carried out, are in

place till today in Canada, USA and the UK in a very big way. Like

Dhar mentions, practically every major gurdwara in the western

hemisphere has Indian agents relaying a weekly report to RAW.

The shocking part never mentioned by Dhar is that he was also

involved in the intricate masterminding and downing of the Air

India plane because of which he was transferred out in July 1987

due to severe pressure from the Canadian government. Maybe Dhar

forgot to talk to the Director of Safety of Air India in Mumbai in

1985 who has a completely different story to tell than the one Dhar

enjoys repeating.

At two Punjabi language newspapers editors were ready games to

cooperate with a view to isolating the mad fringe in the Sikh

community and putting to an end……[Page 296]

Anyone could be bought to redirect misinformation on a soft target

such as the Canadian Sikhs. It is precisely the mad Hindu fringe in

the top echelons of the Indian government which committed

genocide on the Sikhs between 1984-1998 and therefore murdering

innocents Sikhs and others on a plane was a piece of cake for them

32


The delicate task was related to selling the Indian version of the

Sikh imbroglio and to convince the Canadian leadership that India

was a victim of Sikh terrorism….[Page299]

The deadly misinformation campaign was carried out by all the

Dhars at the Indian government’s disposal with unlimited financial

resources but not with any finesse at all, instead through a vicious

Goebels style propaganda. The ‘soft target’ was penetrated very

successfully thereby ruining the reputation of one of the most

upstanding Faith groups in the last few centuries.

We had developed friendship with the troubleshooter, dirty

manipulator and corrupt person, as his critics and a section of the

media severally described Dhawan. He could do anything, I was

ready to concede, but I never believed that he could be part of the

conspiracy that killed Indira Gandhi……[Page 302]

Indira Gandhi the Satanic Durga goddess had planned the

‘holocaust’ of the Sikhs at the end of 1984 all across India code-

named “Operation Shanti”. R.K.Dhawan her special assistant knew

everything including who Indira Gandhi slept with; therefore it is

very likely he found out her diabolical plan and in a pre-emptive

strike, instigated the Sikh bodyguards to kill her and then had them

killed immediately thereafter. Dhavan killed literally two birds with

one stone. Its macabre; but Dhawan maybe the savior of the Sikhs

because without him many millions would have been brutally

murdered by Indira Gandhi. A super spy like Dhar cannot pretend

not to know that, unfortunately his super soft corner for the mighty

Durga and her assistant has put blinders on his grey matter.

Chapter 20:

The West was not yet ready to appreciate the pains of terrorism,

because they were yet to be hit by the fanatics. Canadian attitude

had undergone some change after the Sikh militants downed the

Air India flight, in which hundreds of Canadian citizens had

perished……[Page 310]

It is strange that Dhar can pretend to feel sympathy for the

primarily Sikh passengers and yet charge Sikhs of being the guilty

party in killing unarmed Canadians. Even the pilot was a Sikh. If

Dhar is so, sure how come no Canadian-Sikh has been ever charged

for the heinous crime till today? If Dhar is so clean, the entire

diplomatic team operating in and around 1985 could voluntarily

offer to be debriefed or be grilled Indian style by the CSIS and

there is no question the real truth would come out as to who are the

real culprits behind this deadly conspiracy to blowup the Air India

plane.

The Bofors deal was concluded when Rajiv held the defense

charge, like his mother did the HDW deal was struck…..the

complicated maze of transfer and retransfer of the kickback amount

only wrapped Rajiv up in…………[Page 313]

Rajiv Gandhi popularized the ten percent concept. The Gandhi clan

is not powerful because of their brains, but the fact that they have

made hundreds of millions in kickbacks. Thanks to Indira and

Rajiv, in India today a bribe is known as a “Gandhi”!

The slogan ‘gali gali mein shor hai Rajiv Gandhi chor hai’ (there is

noise in the lanes that Rajiv Gandhi is a thief) is ascribed to the

prominent RSS activist……[Page 317]

Even public humiliations were not enough to ruffles the feathers of

a rhino skinned scoundrel like Rajiv Gandhi.

To some of my colleagues ‘operation’ meant generating actionable

information and associate with the police to physically eliminate

the terrorists. On a number of occasions innocent youths were

picked up in police style and mercilessly interrogated. They often

disappeared; killed and dumped in isolated and mass

graves……[Page 320]

Dhar admits that men from the Intelligence Bureau were culpable

and directly responsible for the mass murder of thousands of Sikhs,

yet personally feigns innocence.

Chapter 21:

I preferred the peace route to the ‘elimination route’ as I firmly

believed that terrorism in Punjab did not grow overnight. It resulted

from political intransigence and indulgence in competitive

fundamentalism by two historically inimical forces: the Congress

and the Akali Dal…….[Page 324]

It is tough to believe a professional liar! Any terrorism in Punjab

was a direct creation of Indira Gandhi and her Congress Party with

the help of Dhar’s gracious offices to spread murder and mayhem

with the help of Hindu criminals dressed as Sikhs. The various long

lingering economic grievances are not even mentioned, which was

the real reason for the Sikhs to fight for their rights as a last resort

after ‘many years of peaceful protests’. If Sikhs were really blood

thirsty terrorists as described by Dhar there would be no Hindus left

in Punjab especially after the state sponsored pre-planned Sikh

Genocide of 1984 and thereafter.

Chapter 22:

However I do not hate the people of Pakistan, who are even now

made to believe that religion is the beast arrak or Soma Rasa

intoxicant, which is toughest crazy glue……Indians, specially the

Hindus, tend to transform even immediate history to mythology. At

a spin of a coin they replace the idols of their gods by the idols of

politicians like Indira and Rajiv…..They tend to burn their women

and worship them as goddesses. Similarly they are adept in

demonizing the people they do not like…[Page345]

33


Dhar is an enigma who speaks from both sides of the mouth, a

typical Brahmin trait. He intensely hates Muslims yet he claims the

opposite. Som Rasa is ‘liquor’ which is mentioned in all the oldest

Hindu Vedic texts, because the writers of those texts were well

intoxicated while writing the hate literature, which is the

foundation of all Hindu ideology. There lies the conundrum, which

is yet to be understood thoroughly by others.

A little before the November 1989 polls….I should meet Lal

Krishna Advani, the BJP president. We met twice…..I was

impressed by the white haired and mustached leader and sharpness

exhibited by him. He was too ahead of most other Sangh Parivar

leaders I happened to meet….But he gave me to understand that his

views on secularism….It coincided with my views…..[Pages 373-

374]

Dhar in his own words is of the same mindset as the fiery

hatemonger L.K.Advani. If such hate filled Brahmin spies fill the

intelligence agencies of India what chance of freedom or justice

does the ordinary citizen who happens to be of a minority faith

have?

Chapter 23:

The wily Uttar Pradesh Brahmin considered himself more

competent than the Sindhi refugee and aspired for the top slot once

the Sangh Parivar succeeded in increasing its kitty from 86 to 200.

Murli Manohar wanted his own man to lead the IB, an organization

that could virtually open up the treasure trove of intelligence to

him…….[Page 378]

Brahmins have always survived for the last 3,000 years through

controlling the levers of power by deceit and chicanery to keep

their blood sucking apparatus afloat in perpetuity.

Chapter 24:

Their Hindu roots were much deeper than the egalitarian preaching

of the Gurus and artificial efforts by certain leaders to project

Sikhism as altogether a new faith….[Page 383]

Dhar does not know the meaning of honesty and ethics at all. The

Sikh Faith has rejected all the founding pillars of Brahminism

outright. The practice of the Sikh Faith is completely different to

Hinduism’s polytheistic arcane mumbo-jumbo rooted in fairytales.

Here again Dhar in patently biased against the Sikh Faith not only

out of ignorance but also out of sheer hate.

From mythological and historical times the upper caste Hindus

have treated the lower castes as gutter creatures…..[Page 391]

Dhar admits the apartheid against their own kind within the Hindu

faith yet questions the Sikh Faith where everyone is treated equally

and where there are no mind numbing ritualistic (Hindu) shackles

of medieval times.

The Hindu society suffered and still suffers from the worst type of

apartheid type segregation….The anti-Mandal agitation was far

from a spontaneous response against reservation for the backward

castes….it was handled ….the large amounts of money that was

spent on the agitation came from the dark chambers of the Indira

Congress party….[pages 391-392]

Again Dhar admits the harsh realities of the Hindu faith he reveres

and peels a few of the covers off the highly corrupt Indira Gandhi,

the high priest of treachery and intrigue.

A Hindu backlash was on the cards and the Sangh Parivar simply

took advantage of the tottering political edifices……..to revive the

Indian-ness, which believed in Hindu supremacy……[Page 395]

The rabidly fascist ideology of the Sangh Parivar, RSS, and BJP is

akin to the Nazi hate ideology perpetuated by these groups across

India. It’s a top down poisoning of the common Hindu mind rather

than a grass roots uprising of ultra nationalism. The common Hindu

is too timid a creature to think for himself. The slavery under the

Mughals for the last 1,000 years is proof enough. Now that

Brahmin Puppeteers have inhaled power for the first time, instead

of being wise and benign rulers they have not been able to control

their latent rage of being ruled by Muslim kings for 800+ years, and

are venting their hate in various ways.

Chapter 25;

There was this Bannu (not his real name), a turbaned Sikh from

Punjab who wanted an ambassadorial assignment anywhere in the

world that hosted an Indian Mission. He was ready with fat money

bags and strong recommendation from Chandraswami as well as

Simaranjit Singh Mann…He opened up his mind and a briefcase to

offer me a tidy sum of rupees 200,000…..He promptly closed the

bag and later bagged the ambassadorial assignment to an African

country after liberally contributing to the funds of the Prime

Minister and the union Minister of State for home Affairs….. [Page

404]

Dhar is honest for once, as there has only been one turbaned Sikh

posted in Africa during Dhar’s tenure and that has been the

infamous ambassador ‘Pannu’ who served in West Africa in the

early 90’s and made a grand fortune bartering deals between the

African politicians and the sleazy Indian businessmen to stash away

millions and built himself a palatial home in Chandigarh.

Interestingly enough, Dr. Sohan Singh had maintained a discreet

contact with Indira Congress through one of his sons, a member of

the Indian Administrative Service, and through the family of Sardar

Swaran Singh…..Dr. Sohan Singh had established a vast network

34


amongst the civil servants and elite members of the civil society…..

[Page 412].

Amusingly, one of the best covert agents of the IB & RAW was Dr.

Sohan Singh Boparai, a wanted man on top of RAW’s list-publicly,

yet he was not killed by the Indian Government. Instead he is

comfortably living in Chandigarh today, even though he had been

called the biggest terrorist leader of his time. Furthermore this

Indian government’s super agent sent one of his henchmen, one

Amarjit Singh (probably not his real name) to the US in and around

1990 to garner support for the cause of Khalistan by opening a

office in the Washington D.C. under the name of Khalistan Affairs

Center. This particular Amarjit Singh’s public claim has always

been that Dr. Sohan Singh had sent him to espouse the cause of

Khalistan in the US and is still in business. It is rather strange that

he is not on any wanted list by the Indian authorities therefore the

readers have to decipher whether all this is organized by RAW or

not!

Chapter 26:

The audio and video tapes rattled my emotional attachment to the

Hinduvata protagonist organizations. The February meeting tapes

disillusioned me. The contents proved beyond a doubt that the high

priests of hatred had helped the Sangh Parivar to adopt a strident

Hinduvata program soon after the assignation of Indira

Gandhi….proved beyond a doubt that they had drawn up the

blueprint of the Hinduvata assault in coming months and

choreographed the praylaya nritya (dance of destruction) at

Ayodhya in December 1992, that had disfigured the India I

knew….The RSS,BJP,VHP and the Bajranj Dal leaders present in

the meeting amply agreed to work in a well orchestrated

manner…..to the best of my knowledge these highly sensitive tapes

were consigned to the archives of the Intelligence Bureau [Pages

434 & 436]

These criminals should be rotting behind bars for life, instead they

are still spewing their hatred all over India while the incriminating

tapes have been dumped deep into oblivion.

Chapter 27:

KPS.Gill’s ruthless operations did not remain confined to legal

policing. The police, military, and intelligence agencies perpetrated

murder, rape, looting, inhuman torture and amassing wealth like

their terrorist counterparts did……[Page 438]

Dhar has spilled the beans on the barbarities committed in the name

of law and order by the ‘Butcher of Punjab’namely KPS.Gill. The

Governor of Punjab (Sharma) who died in a plane crash had over

rupees 20 Crores [5 Million Dollars] stashed in his house. Over

41,000 cash bounties were paid to the various police departments to

murder innocent Sikhs. The ‘terrorist counterparts’ Dhar is alluding

to were his own ‘cats’, state sponsored criminals trained to

assassinate and not, the ordinary Sikhs as he is trying to project.

Chapter 28:

Personally I rated Rao as one of the worst hunter-gatherers of the

Indian politics. His alleged corrupt practices had fattened his own

pocket and not the party coffers. His scholarly slough did glitter but

like that of a black cobra……[Page 445]

P.V.Narasimha Rao the Prime Minister of India personally made

over 25,000-Crore [1.3 Billion Dollars] during his tenure. His son

today is not only the richest man in Andhra Pradesh but the largest

private financier. Gluttony knows no bounds in Indian politics.

Every Indian Prime Minister has been for sale at the right price

and Dhar’s concern about national security is simply hysterical!

It’s on record that the largest secret Swiss bank account holders in

the world are Indians, mostly politicians and businessmen as of

2009.

Chapter 29:

Hindu unity and not belligerence can help strengthening the secular

edifices of the country…..Hindu consciousness can at best unify the

Hindu society and strengthen the building blocks of the

nation……[Page 459]

Dhar must be deluded while intoxicated with the Soma (liquor)

Rasa! Hindu unity is an oxymoron, incase he has not woken up to

that harsh fact. Hinduism has lived and thrived on complete

disunity of society, as that is one of its two pillars namely, ‘caste’.

If you take away caste a Hindu is technically not a Hindu anymore.

Therefore Hinduism or Sanatana Dharam itself must be thrown into

the dustbin of history for India to reinvigorate and unite.

Chapter 30:

The video tape and about 70 still snaps that my boys had managed

to capture constituted vital evidence of the act of vandalism at

Ayodhya by shiv sainiks and presumably the tsunami-affected

devotees of Lord Rama…They agreed with me that the Shiv Sena

volunteers launched the initial attack on the mosque……[Page 470]

Even with overwhelming evidence on camera that the leaders of all

the various Hindu terrorist groups were directly responsible for the

destruction of a Muslim Mosque and murder of hundreds of

Muslims, nothing happened to these leading Hindu criminals.

Chapter 31:

But who cares for the truth in a nation where the national slogan is

Satyameva Jayate (only truth shall be victorious)? Slogans are tools

of mass hypnosis. These are not grains of truth!......[Page 475]

35


How true! The truth in India is of the same style as the dark lord

Krishna who subverted and flouted every norm-ethic to win a war

in the fairy tale Mahabharata.

Chapter 32:

But my elder son, who graduated from the Indian Institute of

Management (IIM), Ahmedabad, in 1994…..suddenly decided to

join the Reliance group rather than opting for a US

multinational……[Page 489]

Due to Dhar’s relationship and his senior position in the IB the

Ambanis made sure his son got a job therefore it was very much a

transactional proposition. In fact due to Dhar’s guilt he had his son

leave the Ambanis ultimately. Who is he kidding!

Chapter 33:

Like any tool of the government the CBI served its masters

faithfully, often to the constraints of constitutional liberty and legal

propriety…….[Page 492]

The end game of the IB, RAW, CBI, etc is simply being a pliable

tool in the hands of the dirty politicians who use the entire

apparatus for massive monetary and other ruthless gains but rarely

for genuine national interests at least in the Indian context.

Chapter 34:

The mention of the name of a son of the Prime Minister in an IB

report had sent panic waves. It had complicated the political

situation for Narasimha Rao, who was already besieged by Harshad

Metha and share market scandal…….[Page 507

The Prime Minister of India’s son was directly involved in the

selling of ultra important secrets and after breaching national

security all the politicians came out unscathed. Such is the beauty

of the ultra corrupt ‘holy’ India.

I too was used in big way by the masters of the day to sabotage the

law and order and weaken the constitution. In retrospect I feel we

are not the real public servants, we are the servants of the public

representatives, most of whom manipulate the system to acquire the

status of statesmen…….[Page 514]

Dhar does portray the reality. But the question does arise, why

Dhar a supposedly upright honest man did not have the guts to

resign from such a corrupt system, which he now condemns in

retrospect. Further why is he, still collecting a pension from that

same corrupt system!

Chapter 35:

At least 50% of the human resources are dedicated to their

profession……Like all other government departments rest of the

50% human resources are utilized in questionable manner…….The

IB are suborned to the political interests of the party in power and

the Prime Ministers and Home Ministers…..It can do better id freed

from the clutches of the politicians….I am not an investigator and

cannot produce evidences of personal corruption against any

politician – be it, Indira, Rajiv, Rao, Laloo Yadav……except

P.V.Narsimha Rao. It is unfortunate that India was saddled with a

man who was transformed from a teacher to a toshkana (treasure

chest) manager…..Making the intelligence and investigative

agencies accountable to the elected Parliament under appropriate

Act. After 57 years of independence a time has come to liberate the

intelligence and Investigation Establishments from the stranglehold

of petty and visionless politicians……[Pages 518-519]

Dhar does acknowledge the serious corruption within his own IB

and all other organizations without sullying himself personally. The

problem is one cannot work in a sewer without getting pretty dirty

yourself and come out looking clean. In the final analysis Dhar

exhorts the citizens of India to make all these agencies completely

accountable to the public rather than the current status quo of being

only accountable to the Prime Minister and Home Minister and

none else. He makes a valid point.

Though Dhar bemoans being a minor intelligence operator, he is

just a small cog in a giant wheel which actually helps the

Brahminical monsters trample and suck the blood of other smaller

vermin and ultimately all the citizens.

Maloy Krishna Dhar is in contradiction of sort; not very different

from most other typical Brahmins of modern India. If one reads all

the old Brahmin texts, from the Rig Veda to the modern day

Bhagvad Gita you will find literature from the most vile to the

sublime. Contradictions abound in the thousands, as in the same

text, holy pronouncements are found in complete contradiction to

each other. Further Brahmins do not believe based on their

religious books, in what the rest of the world considers ethical,

moral conduct based on honesty. Furthermore based on their texts

every civil and human right has been trampled upon with

absolutely no compunction. Keeping that in context it becomes

easier to understand Dhar’s mindset as to how he says different

things at different times and has a poor understanding of honest

ethical conduct. The IB is simply packed with ravenous hyenas

trading their wares to the highest bidder whenever the opportunity

arises, which happens to be a daily occurrence. The book does shed

light on the psyche, deviousness and cunning nature of the

Brahmins at the helm of power. In the end Dhar had to make

money upon retirement and what better way than to use his

experiences as a sleuth to write a potboiler novel, filled with half

baked information by which he is trying to convince the reader that

36


it is all the gospel truth. The reader has to take his ‘truth’ with a

pinch of salt and remember too much salt will slowly kill you.

Regretfully, I have to say that you 'do not' deserve to use the prefix 'Dr' before your name unless you answer the following questions, even asked before several times. It becomes necessary for you since you have started using <[email protected]>, in addition to your own space in the Charhdikala weekly, published from Vancouver, B C, Canada: 1. What degree do you have which entitles you to use the prefix of Dr before your name. Please make it clear once and for all whether you are a Ph D, MD, D Litt, D Law, DVM or what? Which institution/university/country granted and entitled you to use the prefix of 'Dr'? 2.

What is the 'status of your living in the United States of America, although your name first surfaced in the Canadian weekly newspapers as the 'Spokesman/spokesperson, Panthic Committee of Dr Sohan Singh (Boparai), who is now living in Chandigarh, PUNJAB (called Union Territory)'? 4. I believe we first met face to face, when you were coming from the World Sikh Organization (now closed), Washington, DC, with your friend Rajwant Singh, a Dentist by profession. At this time, we met before or near the Press Club Building, if you recall. 5. Please correct me if I am wrong that Dr Sohan Singh, the then Chairman, Panthic Committee of Dr Sohan Singh had asked you 'who appointed the Spokesperson of the Panthic Committee'? I believe this information had been published in Indo-Canadian Times of the British Columbia, while Sardar Tara Singh Hayer was alive. 6. Until you clarify the above, no one cares what you publish

Dr Sekhon Responds to Sardar Swarn Singh<[email protected]>

Sardar Swarn Singh ji,

Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh!

Please forgive me if you do not like my saying that "By staying in a 'Brahmins-Hindus Congress Party of the alleged Indian democracy, Amarinder of Patiala is abdicating his responsibilities to the 'Huse of Baba Guru Nanak Sahib'. Going to the the Darbar of Akalpurakh and the Supreme Seat of Sikh Polity, The Akal Takht Sahib, and paying his visit to the Darbar Sahib Complex, is purely his personal matter. It would be his 'biggest' mistake to expect a 'Siropao' from the 'House of Guru Nanak Sahib. He is going there for his personal concerns, and not to do any kindness on the Khudawand Bakhshinda. Please correct me in my perceptions, if I am wrong, that 'Amarinder is far more loyal to the 'Brahmins-Hindus' Congress, including Bibi Prineet Kaur of Patiala, than the 'Guru Khalsa Panth'. Please ask him at point blank whether he is more loyal to his Madam Sonia Gandhi alias Sonia Maino (a Christian) or not, than the 'House of Guru Nanak Sahib' in the areas of the Sikh affairs, including the Sikhs' Sovereignty, Independence and

Political power. I can assure you either his lips will be 'tightly closed' on your question or he will just ignore on what you have asked to him. Further, when we go to Gurdwara Sahib or Darbar Sahib Complex, we go to pay our respect to the Guru, without any expectations of 'Siropao or the Robe of honour'. These are the qualities of today's Sikh leaders' expectations under the 'slavery of the Brahmins-Hindus'. A Sikh, initiated or uninitiated, has to be honest to his 'Maalik, Khasam, or his guide'. Here the guide is 'Guru Granth Sahib' and not any Tom, Dick or Harry, like the weakling jathedars. Sardar Sahib ji, there is no point to 'Beat around the bush', for any Sikh. The Guru Khalsa Panth has suffered enough since 15th August, 1947, because of the Sikh leadership of a covert Tara Singh and his traitor buddies, and other turbaned Sikh leaders in 'The Sikh Identity'.

RAVEENA AULAKH of Toronto Star dated 3rd May, 2010

Staff Reporter

Thirty seconds before his Punjabi radio show ended, Gurvinder Dhaliwal asked organizers of the Sikh New Year's parade in Surrey, B.C., the standard wrap-up question: “Any message for the people?” Many know the now-infamous answer: “All are welcome except for Ujjal Dosanjh and Dave Hayer. And if they show up, they are responsible for their own safety.” Both Dosanjh, a Liberal MP, and Hayer, a member of the British Columbia legislature, are Sikhs and vocal critics of separatist extremism. That remark and subsequent threats on Facebook sparked a heated debate among Canada's 300,000 Sikhs, nearly half of whom live in Ontario. Dosanjh's warning that extremism among a tiny minority of Sikh separatists is on the rise in Canada only fanned the flames. Bitter arguments have broken out on radio shows, online and in ethnic newspapers. This all comes mere weeks before the 25th anniversary of the June 23, 1985, Air India bombing — Canada's worst mass murder — and on the heels of meetings between Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Singh has expressed concern about growing support by Canadian Sikhs for militants in India. Most Sikhs worldwide long ago abandoned the notion of Khalistan, a separate Sikh state. But community leaders here acknowledge evidence that separatism is festering in Canada, believed to have the largest Sikh diaspora in the world. Some fear that extremist views offering a distorted view of what happened in Punjab years ago are influencing second-generation Sikh immigrants. No one wants to talk openly about these suspicions, said Baldev Mutta, executive director of Punjabi Community Health Services in Brampton. But he has counselled worried parents, like those of an 18-year-old Brampton girl who seemed a changed person after she attended a religious retreat near Cambridge last summer.

“She told her parents that they were bad Sikhs because they didn't keep their hair and didn't pray every day,” said Mutta. “Within a couple of months, the girl moved out. They haven't seen her since.” Yudhvir Jaswal, host of the Mississauga radio show South Asian Pulse and editor of Mid-Week News Weekly, said impressionable youth are being led astray. “The movement is dead ... long dead in India,” said Jaswal, who left India nine years ago. “But some people, a very tiny minority, have kept it alive here and divided the community.” Others defend the diaspora's right to peacefully campaign for a separate homeland. “What's extremist about advocating for the self-determination of Sikhs in India?” asked Pardeep Nagra, manager of employment equity with the Toronto District School Board. Nagra says he frequently has discussions about a Sikh separate state with young people and hasn't seen any examples of “so-called religious fanaticism.” “I've had some phenomenal debates on (Khalistan),” said Nagra, who last travelled to India more than 25 years ago. “It's so enriching, so engaging.” Some call it the Kingdom of Sikhs. The idea of creating Khalistan, an independent Sikh homeland in India's Punjab region, has its roots in the early 20th century, but gained momentum in the 1970s and 1980s. Growing discontent with an uncaring and corrupt federal government fanned the flames of Sikh nationalism and fundamentalism in Punjab. In the early '80s, hundreds of youth took up arms in retaliation over perceived discrimination, led by the charismatic Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale. With his followers, he occupied the Golden Temple in Amritsar. In June 1984, the Indian army stormed the temple in a clash that killed Bhindranwale and hundreds of others, including ordinary devotees caught in the crossfire. The assassination of Indian

41


president Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards that October caused a violent backlash, in which mobs systematically burned Sikh homes and businesses and killed thousands. Between the late '70s and early '90s, thousands of Sikhs, many involved in the push for a homeland, immigrated to the U.S., England and Canada. In India, the movement for a separate state largely evaporated in the early 1990s after it lost support of a majority of Sikhs, who were tired of the senseless violence. But some Sikh temples here continue to display framed photos of Sikh extremists, including Talwinder Singh Parmar — accused of being the mastermind behind the bombing of Air India Flight 182, in which 329 people were killed. At some prayer halls, saffron banners are hung proclaiming ‘Khalistan is Our Homeland.' Sikh prayers are held on birthdays of so-called “martyrs.” It is not unusual for members of a diaspora to be frozen in the past, said Myer Siemiatycki, a professor in immigration settlement studies at Ryerson University. The diaspora often has left the homeland, in part, driven out by a sense of political unhappiness with the status quo,” he said. Though politics change in the homeland, those who flee can harbour guilt feelings about leaving and “develop a more extreme hardline political outlook.” Siemiatycki said he can also see Canadian-born Sikh youths, particularly those struggling with a sense of identity, embracing Sikh nationalism. Ranjodh Singh, a 19-year-old University of Toronto student who attended last weekend's Sikh New Year's parade, spoke to the Star about his own pride in his heritage. “My parents' generation may have given up on Khalistan but mine hasn't. Sikhs all over the world want it, including those in India. We'll campaign for it always ... peacefully, of course.” The room is stacked with papers and books: on shelves, on the couch, on the floor. Uday Singh, his grey beard flowing to his chest, sits in the centre on a large white cushion and remarks: “We will not rest until we get our land.” At 87, Singh is probably Khalistan's oldest supporter in Canada. A former math professor at Laurentian University in Sudbury, he wrote the book Waning and Waxing of the Khalistan Movement, which he believes cost him his Indian passport. For years, he has run a weekend school in Rexdale, near the Sikh temple, where he teaches young people Punjabi, and Sikh history and culture. Singh, who says Sikhs have “never ebbed so low as we do now under the cursed Hindu rule” in India, won't say what exactly he teaches. “That's between my students and me.” Though he says he and his wife survive on a meagre pension, he admits to having sent money to Inderjit Singh Reyat, the only person convicted in the Air India bombing. Singh calls him “our Nelson

Mandela. He is not guilty of sins that he is in jail for.” Other alleged Sikh militants killed in India whose photos are on temple walls are “our heroes ... If they killed some people, it's excusable. I would kiss the earth below where the photos are hung,” says Singh, who lives in Caledon. Singh, who immigrated in 1961, hasn't been back to India in 30 years, but says Sikhs are still repressed there. That is why the “movement of Khalistan is still alive. We won't rest till we get it.” It is people like Singh who are keeping the hope of Khalistan alive in Canada, said Gurdev Mann, president of the North York Sikh temple. “They are misleading youngsters and giving them wrong information. It scares me — what they teach at these places,” said Mann. Giving wall space to photos of alleged martyrs and celebrating their birthdays also creates fissures in the community, he added. “These are divisive activities.” Harvans Jandali, president of the Ontario Sikh and Gurdwara Council, which administers at least a dozen temples in the Toronto area, argued the photos have been hanging on temple walls since 1984 and have no impact on people who come to worship. “But whenever someone has tried to remove them, there has always been a bitter fight. I like to avoid (fights).” Photos of alleged militants at Sikh temples is a non-issue, agreed Guelph's T. Sher Singh, co-founder of Spinning Wheel, a Sikh-related film festival. “I have no interest in Khalistan and I don't support it all. I've said it publicly that these people are all a bunch of idiots ... but I will fight till the end for the right of people to be stupid as long as they don't break the law.” Dosanjh was savagely beaten in 1985 for speaking out against Sikh extremism by a suspected member of the International Sikh Youth Federation, a banned terrorist group. In an interview with the Star, he reiterated how the “young and second generation of my community are being trained in hate and violence. They are fed hate, lies and fanaticism ... myths of history, not real history, and if you do that 15,000 miles away and you have no contact with reality, you will continue to perpetuate these myths.” Dosanjh, who has been branded a “rat” and “scumbag traitor” on Web postings, said the case of the Toronto 18 and Muslim extremism should be a warning to Canadians who think talk of Sikh nationalism is insignificant. “If we continue like this, there will be demand for a Khalistan in this country,” he said. Meanwhile in Surrey, Dhaliwal, who hosts his own program on Sher-E-Punjab radio station, still can't believe the whole brouhaha was triggered by his show. “I never thought it would get so big,” he said. “I was shocked by the (parade) organizer's answer, but in my mind there was no threat, ever. This has been blown out of proportion.”

The Fundamental Pillars of Democracy: EXPRESSION OF OPINION, FREE SPEECH AND

Reaction of Surrey’s Mayor, Dianne Watts, Premier Gordon Campbell of British Columbia, Ujjal Dosanjh, a Controversial Member of Canadian Parliament (presently a Liberal but formerly the defeated leader of the New Democratic Party of B C and the Premier of British Columbia), and a MLA David Hayer at Surrey’s Vaisakhi (Revelation of Khalsa) parade, showing a float of Sikh

Martyrs and raising the flag of Khalistan is not justified, but immaturity of the politicians also.

According to CBC’s report, Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts says the city will review the status of the annual Sikh Vaisakhi parade after

42


a controversial float was included in the event Saturday, the 17th April, 2010. More than 100,000 people attended the ‘Revelation of Khalsa’ parade and festival in the Vancouver suburb, but Watts said she was disappointed the parade included a float honoring Sikh separatists and extremists as martyrs. What an unfortunate statement of the Mayor of Surrey, who gets elected on the Sikh votes also. The float featured the flag of Khalistan, the independent Sikh state that the Sikhs want to carve out of India's Punjab state. Mayor Dianne Watts’ statement is virtually ‘devoid’ of the history of one of the segment of her town. The Sikhs are never cessations or separatists, as she thinks or she has been advised to be. To rectify her statement, she needs to interact with her one of the largest communities of the Town of Surrey.According to Dr. Gurmit Singh Aulakh, President of the Council of Khalistan declared its independence from India on October 7, 1987, but the Sikhs have been “Struggling to regain their surrendered sovereignty, independence and political power, from the day they surrendered their sovereignty of the ‘First Sovereign and Secular nation of South Asia’, i. e., 14th March, 1849. In fact, India has been occupying the Sikhs’ Holy and Historic Homeland, PUNJAB (divided on 14/15th August, 1947), against their will by posting more than four hundred thousand (400,000) troops to suppress and oppress the Sikh nation, PUNJAB, since 15th August, 1947. The photos of people shown on the float were in fact the heroes of the Sikh Nation who were mercilessly butchered by the alleged Indian forces, in brutal military “Operation Bluestar” of June, 1984. The very brutal military operation is also known as ‘An Undeclared War on the Sikh Nation, PUNJAB’. The writer feels that freedom is a God given birth right, granted to every human being. If the Sikhs are demanding Khalistan, because of the deceits of the Indian administrations since 15th August, 1947, their demand is not only genuine but justified; because the Sikhs are seeking to restore their lost sovereignty. Instead of condemning the Indian government for the atrocities it is committing against the Sikhs, the democratically elected leaders listed above translate the Sikh struggle for freedom into extremism, siding with the policies of a foreign administration and abdicating their responsibilities from the ‘Historical Truth’.

The United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted in 1948, in Article 19, says that:

Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers. Freedom of speech is the concept of the inherent human rights to voice one's opinion publicly, without fear of censorship or punishment, the principles which lack in the Indian democracy since its inception. "Speech" is not limited to public speaking and is generally taken to include other forms of expression. The right is preserved in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and is granted formal recognition by the laws of most nations. As matter of fact, Sikhs have contributed a lot towards the Canadian economy. They are honest, hardworking, peace loving and law abiding people. In order to conceal the truth, the Indian government and a handful of politicians have been spreading false rumors about the Sikhs. Who guides them for spreading these rumors against the Sikhs, it is anybody’s guess. The concealment of the killing of over 250,000 Sikhs since 1984 and more than 52,000 Sikhs being held as prisoners without trial and cases, according to a report by the Movement Against State Repression (MASR), deliberately agitates their Sikh brothers in Canada in particular, and outside India in general. The Canadian government is, therefore, requested to kindly appraise the situation in the context that Indian authorities and their missions and/or hired hands, who have been chasing the Sikhs in Canada. This is exponentially worse in the Indian controlled Punjab (Khalistan under occupation since August 15th1947 the day India gained freedom from Britain). Kirpan, not the sword, dagger or a sharp knife, is the emblem and one of the tenets of the Sikh religion, which is worn purely as a religious symbol by an initiated Sikh. Besides, to celebrate Vaisakhi day is also mandatory in the Sikh religion similarly as Christmas for Christians, Eid for the followers of Islam or Yom Kippur for the followers of the Jewish faith.
