Sir Who killed former Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi why and what is the lesson? There were also questions raised about Sikh militants who had recently put out a Hit List of politicians from the Congress Party but Mr. Gandhi was not known to be on that list (The New York Times May 22,1991.) The Times reported further Investigators in Tamil Nadu suspect that a Tamil Nationalist Suicide squad possibly Tigers of Tamil Eelam could have been involved. This separatist group trained by Indian Intelligence agencies under Indira 3. Ironic as it may be but it is quite probable that Rajiv fell victim to his own mother’s Machiavellian and bloody conspiracies. Anyway one point is abundantly clear that no Sikh had anything to do with this assess in a Nehru’s have regarded the Prime Minister ship of India as a family fief In 1975 the courts of the land found Prime Minister Indira Gandhi—mother of Rajiv—guilty of electoral malpractice and declared her election null and void. The courts further barred her from contesting any election holding any electoral office including the prime minister ship for next five years. This spelled possible end of the fiefdom. So she chose to abrogate the rule of the law rather than bowing to the law of the land. She clamped down emergency rule all over India. Subsequently she along with her son Sanjay carried out a brutal rule over India. Devoid of the ballot people took to the bullet. Almost all of the presently active militant groups were born during this dark period either out of state patronage or terrorism. Since then hundreds of thousands of people have been treated inhumanely dishonored gang raped burnt alive orphaned or widowed throughout India especially in Assam Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir Indira Gandhi was assassinated by her Sikh body guards who could not tolerate brutalization of his fellow Sikhs anymore What will any Kurd do to Saddam Hussain? What would any Jew do to Hitler? On assuming office Rajiv engineered and sustained holocaust against Sikhs He continued malicious maneuvering to overthrow the opposition state Governments within India and destabilize small neighboring countries around India. The suspected assassin is a product of such policies.

It is high time that the continuing oppression against Sikhs of Punjab Muslims of Kashmir Christians of Nagaland and low caste Hindus should be stopped. These policies of the upper echelons led to centuries of slavery in the past and are now leading to dismemberment of India Only viable solution is a common economic market of constituting States of India on the pattern of Eoupean Economic Common Market.
