Dear Editor
Apropos the article “The Fifth Veda” by Sardar Harchand Singh on page 5 of your esteemed paper of June 26, 1987, I regret to note that the learned writer has not revealed the name of “a Sikh professor from a university in Punjab” who “put forward the idea that Sri Guru Granth Sahib of the Sikh people is the fifth Veda”.
Later in the article it is mentioned, “Celestial Song” has received a warm welcome from a section of Sikh scholars and intellectuals”.
Who are these “Sikh scholars and intellectuals” that the learned writer is worried about?
He has knocked the nail on the head when the pro Sikh writer poses the two questions at the end of his article.
The Sikhs in India have been a slave nation since 1849. The last five generations born in India have been under foreign political domination, the worse being Hindu political and social domination since 1947. The so-called “Sikh scholars and intellectuals” to whom Sardar Harchand Singh refers, have been nurtured in an atmosphere that was dominated by Sikh leadership in the Punjab that had sold its birthright for a bowl of porridge. They have lived under a Constitution which in its Article 25 defines the word Hindu to include Jainis, Buddhists and Sikhs.
I would plead with writers like Sardar Harchand Singh to write on the dire need for freedom and liberty for our people. They have to be rescued from the Hindu Brahmin yoke. We should not bother about “barking dogs” sent out by the Indian Hindu government to undermine the morale of Sikhs living outside Hindu India.
The call of the hour is to boost: the morale of our freedom fighters that have placed their heads on their palms and are facing the military terror of the Hindus led by Rajiv Gandhi.
Pandit Nehru wrote Article 25 of the Constitution to wipe out the separate identity of the Sikhs. Mrs. Gandhi destroyed the Akal Takht and gave the Sikhs a bloody nose, Rajiv Gandhi masterminded) the slaughter of the Sikhs in New Delhi in November, 1984, and the Hindus raped our women in broad daylight aided and abetted by the Hindu police. The Sikh police were confined to barracks on the orders of Rajiv Gandhi after two members of the police force dispatched his mother.
Let us educate our brethern living outside India to beware of the conspiracy of the Hindu government to use our own kind who has sold their souls to spread anti Sikh propaganda among the unwary Sikhs.
O my Sikh brethem, hang together, or you will be hanged! one by one.
