Recent events particularly the result of elections in Punjab was neither unexpected nor inevitable for those who know and understand the Sikh psyche, but for those i.e. the communal minded, wishful thinkers and want to be thought of as fair and superior than minorities in India, it was.

It has sent chills down the back of spineless communal Hindus, who in their utter ignorance and suffering from dillusions of grandeur (a psychological disorder) believed that they really, with the help of criminals like Rajiv Gandhi, who used tactics practiced by Hitler, such as mass murders, (these mass murders were planned, approved and carried out by direct orders of Rajiv, Ray and Reberio) rape and extra judicial killings of innocent Sikhs could beat them into submission. That is the dream that cowards dream. Today however we need to talk about Mr. V.P. Singh and the questions we need to ask of those who think and would have us believe that he should be looked at as the next Mr. Clean, Mr. Honest and Mr. Trustworthy, are:

First is he not one of them? A Hindu that is! Can we ever trust Hindus again?

Secondly is there a Hindu alive whose voice can be heard, and has the guts to stand up for the truth and the rights of any minority and condemn their genocide in a country where the chauvinistic majority takes pride in shameful slogans like Hindi Hindu and Hindustan, in a so called Secular state? (Actually they should call it the Hindhushaitan).

Thirdly, has V.P. Singh announced the release of innocent Sikhs wasting away under less than humane conditions and without any charges against them, in various hell holes they call prisons?

Fourth, has Mr. V.P. Singh announced reinstatement of conscientious objectors who left their barracks to protest the destruction and desecration of our most revered place of worship the Golden Temple?

Fifth, has Mr. V.P. Singh agreed to the demands put forth by the Punjab Human Rights Organization, The PHRO?

Sixth, has Mr. V.P. Singh agreed to allow Amnesty International to conduct their investigation into Thousands of extra judicial murders and disappearances?

Seventh, has Mr. V.P. Singh started an investigation against Congress I gundas like H.K.L. Bhagat, Jagdish Titler, Rajiv Gandhi, and his cronies and all others mentioned in various reports on riots of 1984?

Eighth, has Mr. V.P. Singh ordered to put those government employees under protective custody such as ex-Governor Ray and’ ex-Police Chief Reberio, who have publically admitted authorizing formation: of death squads paid and protected by the government of India to kill innocent Sikhs?

Ninth, has Mr. V.P. Singh ordered immediate dismissal of current I.P.S. officers (class 1 officers), such as KPS Gill, Izhar Alam and Gobind Ram and scores of other SSP’s and DIG’s who are responsible for extra judicial killings, disappearances and death by extreme torture of innocent Sikhs in police custody?

Finally has Mr. V.P. Singh got the courage to go against the wishes of communal and extremist Hindu party like the BJP with whom he shares political power and who (BJP) in turn is supported by the Hindu Thug and Villainous organizations such as the SHIV SENA, THE RASHTRIA HINDU PRI. SHAD and the like?

Judging from the current events it can be safely said that it will take more than what Mr. V.P. Singh has to offer to solve the issues of Human Rights Violations and other matters that have tarnished India’s image in the world community and has put her integrity in permanent jeopardy.

Frankly speaking the majority doesn’t seem to yield to the ideals of fairness and equality on their own. Unless they are given some good counseling to make them understand, in fact what they can really hope to cling on to in the long run, the doom that is lurking around the corner will befall sooner than they expect.

Their stupidity, greed and lust for power lead to the partition of India in 1947, today it has laid the foundation for the same scenario to be repeated, now it is a matter of time and time alone! The only question that needs to be answered at present is that, not whether it will happen, BUT WHEN.
