After Operation Bluestar and the carnage in Delhi and other cities in 1984 it became clear to all self-respecting Sikhs that the time to part ways with the unscrupulous and deceitful Hindus had come, the treachery had begun long before the British left in 1947.
Today, the Sikh youth has taken upon itself the challenge to free our motherland, Khalistan. Thousands have died and many more thousands are willing to lay down their lives rather than live under the heel of Hindu fascism which now flaunts its face openly in Kashmir and Punjab.
After 1,000 years of Muslim domination and 300 years under the British, the new found power won in great part by the Sikhs has made the Hindus giddy. The Hindu is behaving like the Ravanna of his own mythology and if he does not sit down to takes stock soon, he will fall.
It is time the so called politicians in Punjab shook themselves up. There are several black chapters in Sikh history where our ‘generals’ and ‘leaders’ have sold us into virtual slavery for personal gain. The blood of our youth is upon their hands. Any compromise today would mean our leaders were party to the genocide India is committing in Punjab.
Many pseudo-intellectuals mislead the people to preserve their petty business interests or jobs or even pensions. Their greed and guilt has made them blind to the sacrifice of the so called rustic who has not only given away material things but has given away his sons for the cause.
Akali leaders at various times have launched morchas with tremendous mass support. This is the time for the final morcha for freedom. For five long years our freedom fighters have carried on a valiant struggle against seemingly insurmountable odds alone. The leaders all this while have been negotiating hard to believe deals with Delhi. If they are to persist in being millstones around our necks they will sink alone. The Sikh nation knows now how to cast them off. While they are not expected to pick up guns neither are they expected to compromise? If they cannot defend their people and speak up for them then they should step aside.
Many were under a mistaken notion that things would get better with VP Singh and Devi Lal in power. They are no better than Indira Gandhi and her son Rajiv. The very mention of Khalistan makes any Hindu leader balk. See what that alleged champion of the Sikhs Ram Jethmalani is out to do.
Prior to 1984, autonomy, river waters, Chandigarh was the main issues. Today they have paled into insignificance. Everywhere the shackles of oppression are being cast off. In Europe, South Africa and even Central America. The Sikhs too shall succeed in their endeavors. That is the only demand of the Sikhs—sovereignty.
