Jad heard of the book when it came out In 92, but I didn’t bother to get a copy of the same sinee I no longer held Khus want in high regard after having read some of the disparaging remarks (their only culture is agriculture) and sick jokes he had been making en the Sikh community.
Khushwant hasn’t changed. Bleeding ‘wound needs nursing not more sprinkling ‘of salt and that is what he has done best in his book. He calls Bhinderwala anti Sikh in his book, using his logic BAL Thackeray. And his goons are also anti Hindu, they ‘should also be eliminated by the Indian government He calls Khalistan support. Rs Jaunties, one of their leaders in Punjab S.S. Mann rabid, Akali Sikh politicians of Punjab donkeys and heen the people of Punjab deserve the kicks of donkeys and yet he has all the praise for Indira and Rajiv past because she appointed him as a MP. (Since he couldn’t get elected). To ‘use some misguided Sikhs for her personnel political gains. It is to be recalled that it was Khushwant who made the remark on Rajiv that this airline pilot is going to make an ass of him after he became the P.M. soon after Indira’s assassination.
He even had the nerve to dedicate ‘this book to Zail, (former appointed president of India also by Indira) who remained silent to her decision to attack and desecrate the most sacred shrines of the Sikhs Golden Temple.
If that was not enough hurniliation for the Sikhs. Zail then agreed to decorate the Indian army officers involved in this carnage for the successful mission of eliminating Sant Bhinderwala. Bhinderwala alleged crimes he was harboring terrorists escaping state terrorism in this institution before the botched ‘army Bluestar operation. Indian army of two million plus could not arrest them; they had to plan and launch an attack with tanks and artilleries to. Get 200 of his comrades fighting with AK47 guns and or obsolete stengun. He considers Zail Singh and himself to be the self-appointed spokespersons of the Sikh community and hence the right to vote for Akandh Bharat (United India) on their behalf. If these two wise guys had the respect of the Sikhs, then why they had to hide in their homes to protect themselves from the very community of 18 million they chimes be representing after the Golden Temple attack? Quite obviously they were government “cha-chas” and they had done considerable damage to the Sikh community, hence they wore tar gated by the militants, Zail died after having suffered fatal} injuries in arca acct dent two years back. Khushwant is right Sikhs militants should not waste their bullet on this 80 year old sox starved Budha’, Jet him die on his own of AIDS. Just because he has written few books on Sikh history in English does not make him the final authority on the Sikhs. Khushwant ‘is nobody as far as the Sikhs are concerned, He will be soon forgotten even by the Hindus since his purpose has been served, like they dumped KPS Gill, Zail, Buta, Bamala, Rode, Darbara and the list goes one for traitors. Even Russia was able to retain traitors in Afghanistan before they were all kicked out with the American help and the country was given back tq the natives to run, So it is not a deal if India is involved in similar sinister evils and designs to destabilize the Sikhs and milk Punjab.
Arrogant Kushwant says, “Those who want Khalistan, can have it Ecuador, they can have it in the South Pole but they will not have it in India.” Reply to that Did Gandhi makes Hindustan in Durban, South Africa? Why he had to return to India to make one? For the same reasons, Sikhs shall make Khalistan out of Punjab; the historical places to which no community ‘on earth can claim more rights. ‘These places are the birth rights for every Sikh and we shall have them back if God willing, one day very soon, If Palestinians can get their country back from the Israelis, so can we.
Punjab has been plundered enough, to please the Maharajahs in Delhi. The state has been deliberately left out in industrial development on the pretext that it is bordering state, a lame excuse. If so many small European countries can coexist peacefully and enjoy various linguistic, Cultural and economic rights, s0 can us. Enough abuse of the innocent unemployed Sikhs for cannon fodder, we shall employ them all in our industries, when Khalistan is liberated from the yolks of Hind Sarkar. Unscrupulous and power hungry Gandhis had failed to honor any of their commitments to Punjab, demands which are considered s0 very basic in Western democracies, they have all been foot dragging from Indira, Rajiv to Chander Shekhar to N Rao. Rao among them was the most cunning, who got a bargain of life time from Beant Singh without having to give in an inch towards Punjab’ s political aspiration , He had Beant and KPS Gill kill thousands of the alleged Sikhs supporters of Khalistan in Punjab in the name of containing alleged terrorism. What more could he ask from his loyal servants? Why should they now give in to the Sikhs when there is no one left to negotiate from a position of strength in Punjab or now that Nin) have Been rendered impotent”?.
It will be naive of the Sikhs to believe that the Hindus have any intentions in prosecuting thousands of butchers involved in the Sikh massacre following Indira’s death, it has been 12 years since that event and most of the criminal evidence has been destroyed since then. The only solution lies in educating the Sikh community for an independent Khalistan, no matter how small it is. Very soon we may not even get this because of the explosive rate of Indian population growth. We are already seeing millions of migrant workers from Bihar and U.P; settle in Punjab, who will very soon tilt the tide in favor of the Hindus. We are only 18 million as compared to the Indian population of 950 million and compared to 350 million populations of Muslims in West Pakistan. Odds are against us and will not get any better. We need to get economically stronger and invest in industries in Punjab to reduce the dependency on other Indian states, It can be done but with a lot of hard ‘work. Japan has done it, Korea is doing in they are no bigger than Punjab.
