The wounds of the Sikhs are routinely gouged open and salt sprinkled on them. This time it was a direct affront to the Sikh religion again. Two Jalandhar and one Delhi gurdwaras were attacked by Hindu mobs and the holy Sri Granth Sahib desecrated and brut. This utter disregard for the religion, and sentiments of the Sikhs will cost India dearly. The chances of parting as friends, though always remote, can be totally written off. The Sikhs are furious.
The procession carrying the damaged Guru Granth Sahibs was over 10 miles long despite Jalandhar being under curfew. Time and again, with such massive public displays of their solidarity with the cause of the nationalists, every Sikh is crying out for Khalistan.
The happenings in Delhi last week should be an eye opener for Chandra Shekhar, Rajiv Gandhi or whoever is, or will be at the helm of affairs in fascist Hindu India, Sikhs and Kashmiri Muslims are no longer alone against the Brahmanical demons. The Muslims and Dalits, rudely awakened by what happened in Ayodhya and following the Mandal commission fiasco, joined the Sikhs in a peace march in Delhi last week. The marches were stoned by mobs and fired upon by the police. All pretenses are slowly being dropped and the Brahmins’ animosity and hatred are out in the open.
India’s mix of religions, languages and castes has never been so volatile and deadly as today. It led to the fall of V P Singh who ham-handedly tried to project himself as the savior of the Muslim ‘minority. The Babri Mosque is going to be demolished sooner than later. This must drive the Muslims to stand up and fight or be exterminated. The battles lines for a civil war have been drawn.
The Muslims, Sikhs and Dalits thrown together in their terrible oppression are gradually realizing that they have more in common with each other than their tormentor, Brahmanical Hindu society. Realisation is growing among other minorities, especially tribals like the Jharkhand Adivasis, Mizos and Nagas that the time to end the days of their worst ever exploitation is now. The chaos in India is bound to grow before it disintegrates. And disintegrate it certainly will.
Chandra Shekhar, the opportunist who made a desperate grab for power, already has both his feet planted firmly in two boats. He says he would like the Hindus to build their temple in Ayodhya as he is a proud Hindu but, without hurting Muslim religions sentiments. He goes on to say Hinduism is a superior religion.
Even as Sikh Shrines and the holy Guru Granth Sahib were being desecrated, Chandrashekhar was saying he was willing to talk to the Sikh militants if they would abide by the Constitution of India.
In his preoccupation with schemes and plans to become the prime minister, it seems Mr Chandra Shekhar missed out on much of the action in Punjab over the past decade. Such an offer has been made a dozen times and rejected. Which Constitution do these leaders speak of and swear by that bundle of trash which has been amended 80 times in half as many years to oppress the minorities? The Sikhs did not even endorse that garbage when it was first shown to them shortly after the British left India.
Thousands are dying at the behest of those who were put in power for protect the people. While the world is steadily progressing, the Brahmins are steadily sinking into the filthy cesspool that they have made India into. While talking of unity in diversity, the bloodsucking politicians exploited this diversity in their power games of divide and rule. The deadly merry-go-rounds had to stop sometime. The price has to be paid.
