Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa
Waheguru Ji ke Fateh!
Independence is independent in itself that can never be bargained for it is the ultimate truth of man. That links man to mankind and his god.
When human events take a certain course it becomes necessary for a group of people to disband themselves politically with whom they may be associated. To call upon the laws of nature that entitles them on this earth a decent respect and opinions of mankind and when a nation reaches that point of understanding. It impels them to separation.
All men on this earth are created equal and are endowed by their creator certain unalienable rights. Among them life liberty and pursuit of happiness. In order to secure these rights governments are instituted and elected. But when a form of government becomes destructive to these ends and along trains of abuses a design to reduce a community by absolute despotism it is their right and is their duty to throw off such government to provide new guards for their future security such has been the patient sufferance of the Sikhs. Such is now the necessity which constrains them to separate themselves as a new nation.
In order to prove this let facts be submitted to the candid world. The government of India has refused to exercise laws that safe guard the rights of the Sikhs not only in Punjab.
But the rest of India and has repeatedly suspended civil liberties and human nights of the Sikhs. The Indian government has repeatedly killed young men in false police encounters. And has had multitude of armed forces and has Set them out to the villages of Punjab to harass our people and loot and destroy their property. The Indian government has made mockery of the judicial system by imprisoning thousands of innocent Sikhs without trial who still rot in Indian jails to this day
The Indian government at the inception of independence refused to give the same rights to the Sikhs as other states. But even the rights of a duly elected government by the people for the people has also been denied to the Sikhs
They themselves have abdicated Punjab from the Union of India by waging war against its citizen They have plundered the fields of Punjab ravaged our villages and destroyed the peaceful existences of the people of Punjab.
The government of India at this very point in time is transporting large armies into Punjab to complete the works of death desolation and tyranny already begun circumstances of cruelty. Paralleled in the dark ages and totally unworthy any government of a civilized nation.
At every stage of oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms of a gursikh and our repeated petitions had been only answered by repeated injury A government whose character is marked by every act which may define a tyrant is unfit to be a ruler of a free people.
We had appealed to their since of justice as brethren who fought arm in arm gave more than their share for the freedom of India and who were promised a glory in its independence. But all those appeal fell on deaf ears. It had then become necessary for the Sikhs to reach the only decision that of announcing their separation from the Union of India. And call for a Declaration of Independence of a New Nation under god Khalistan. And to this pledge every Sikh living and breathing must Swear his and her allegiance For sadh sangat ji I leave you with these last words. Independence itself is independent because it is the ultimate truth of man which links man to mankind and his god. Hear well this truth my dear sadh Sangatji for the speech I have just given you was written for a different nation but the circumstances and the injustices were no different than that of the Sikhs today those people where the 13 colonies of this great nation which you Proudly belong today.
Let it be that a 100 years from now some young teenager of another proud nation upon this earth can speak of the Sikhs Declaration for Independence for Khalistan Destiny belong to those who takes it Future belongs to those who shape it.
