Despite the Indian army’s occupation of the Sikh Nation, Punjab, the Sikhs appear to be increasingly determined to stand up to the brutal, terrorist regime of Hindu India, now led by V.P. Singh. Amongst the brutalities, there have been staged encounters often resulting in killings of innocent Sikh youths. Those’ who protest the atrocities committed by the various law enforcing agencies of India and state sponsored militant groups like Black Cat Commandos, Shiv Sena, and Rashtriya Swayam Seva (Sangh), are also killed in such encounters. The activities of these agencies also include manmade floods, the use of chemical warfare in the Mund area of Punjab, and the sealing of the Punjab Pakistan border with electrified barbed wire.
Perhaps this is because India’s calculations are based on lies, prosecutions, persecutions, black laws, and the inhumane treatment of its non Hindu citizens (WSN Aug 17, 1990). Sikhs in their teens are far more daring than Hindu India’s professional army men equipped with modern weaponry. Since the time of Operation Blue star and the commencement of an undeclared war on the Sikh nation in June 1984, the Indian army and paramilitary forces have butchered more than 100,000 Sikhs. Yet, the army of Hindu India have reached nowhere in subjugating the Sikhs. Dilgeer (WSN10th August, 1990) said that Hindu India bribed and/or bought several writers, including academics, journalists, and newspaper publishers, in India and abroad alike (see WSN 6th July, 1990) to create misunderstanding, and to disrupt the lives of Sikhs living in Punjab and elsewhere in the world.
This plan was so systematically engineered that it is one of the fragments of the psychological warfare often used between enemies. Activities in foreign countries, especially in Canada, involve conspiracies against Sikhs (Kashmiri and McAndrew. 1989. Soft Target). And the disruption of holy congregations (WSN 3rd August, 1990) in the United States, U.K. and other places. Agents and/or hired hands from among Sikhs, are actively engaged in penetrating Sikh organizations and Gurdwaras.
The Indian administration is directly or indirectly aiding several groups in propagating rumors about the Sikh way of life, as prescribed by the Sikh Gurus. These rumors function in diverting the attention of Sikhs from the Akal Takht, the Seat of Sikh Polity, as it should be, to other foci. The net result of such diversion is a reduction of the community’s strength such that it antagonistically affects the Khalsa Panth (the sovereign state of Khalsa, not a state of the pure as misinterpreted by the Hindu India’s administrations). Hence, the groups which are responsible for creating the diversions are successful in misleading the Sikh community by introducing the nation that religion is different from politics. This is against the very basic principles of the Khalsa Panth.
It must be understood by peace loving people and also by the so called moderate Sikhs, a term invented by the Indira Gandhi to divide the Sikhs as much as possible, that the Sikhs and non Hindus have no place in Hindu India. Hindu India’s history is marked by betrayals, prosecutions, persecutions, torture and inhumane treatment of citizens since its independence from British rule; he betrayed the Sikhs in order to prevent them from obtaining a state where their language, culture, religion, and heritage could flourish: he denied them basic fundamental rights based on the Sikh way of life; and he failed to recognize the Sikhs as a separate culture and community. Nehru’s administration forced Hindu laws on the Sikhs and his administration unsuccessfully planned to declare war on the Sikh nation on 4th July, 1955 (Dilgeer WSN 10th August, 1990).
In frustration, his administration executed a plan that resulted in a helicopter crash in which several top ranking Sikh army generals were killed in the Jammu and Kashmir area in 1963, including Lt. Gen Bikram Singh, and a graduate of the Sandhurst Military College, U.K. Mr Nehru had personal dislike for Lt. Gen Bikram Singh. As a result of step motherly treatment of the Nehru and Indira Gandhi administrations, Master Tara Singh, the Akali Dal leader, made his assessment that the KhaIsa Panth (the Khalsa Brotherhood) was in danger or the (Khalsa) “Panth khatre vich hai”.
Unfortunately Sikh parliamentarians and politicians Sardar Swaran Singh, Sardar Surjit Singh Majithia, Sardar Hukam Singh, Sardar Partap Singh Kairon, Dr. Gopal Singh Dardi and others, did not take notice of the situation expressed by Master Tara Singh, as they were brought out with either cabinet posts or similar patronage appointments. It was only from the era of Sardar Darshan Singh Pheruman’s martyrdom (Kashmiri and McAndrew 1989) and, later, the vision of Sant Jamail Singh Bhindranwale that Sikh masses became aware of the sinister designs of the Hindu Empire of Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi and now VP Singh. What option remains for the Sikhs in Hindu India? Only slavery.
Since VP Singh assumed office, an attempt on the life of Sikh leader, Sardar Simranjit Singh Mann, MP has been made. Jathdar Jagdev Singh Khudian, MP a close associate and friend of Sardar Mann was killed by agents of RAW functioning under VP Singh. Bhai Harmandir Singh Sandhu, a Sikh youth leader and close associate of Sant Bhindranwale, and a staunch supporter of an independent Sikh homeland, was assassinated in January 1990, by the Hindu India administration. Other prominent Sikh leaders and youths killed in staged encounters were Bhai Sukhwant Singh Akanwali, Bhai Avtar Singh Brahma, Bhai Jugraj Singh, Sardar Baldev Singh Ghuman, Bhai Bhupinder Singh Kooner, a Canadian citizen who was visiting Punjab (Indo Canadian Times, 17th August 1990). The Sikh nation is under siege.
India is persecuting Sikhs in Punjab and elsewhere because should the Sikhs succeed in breaking the fragile Indian union, other minorities would surely follow, such as the people of Assam.
Hindu India resolves around one simple notion: Hindu (people), Hindi, Hindustan. The Indian union (the land of Hindus Hindustan) is only for the Hindus and their Hindi language. Under this notion, the Sikhs, Christians, Muslims, Dalits, Schedule castes and other non Hindu citizens are not welcome in Hindu India. The undeclared war on the Sikh nation, the three wars imposed on Pakistan, a recent attack by the Indian army on a Pakistan’s military post (WSN, 17th August 1990) raping of Roman Catholic nuns (WSN 17th August 1990; The Globe and Mail’s photograph of demonstration by 12,000 nuns in New Delhi) are ample proof that non Hindu cannot live safely in Hindu India. Consequently, it is appropriate for citizens of Punjab to pursue a course of action that will preserve the honours, dignity, integrity and Sikh way of life. The Sikhs will realize their culture and religion are not endangered when no one will again attempt to attack them as has been happening since 15th August 1947, the time when the Sikhs became slaves of Hindu India.
The Sikhs will have to decide whether they would like to raise their children according to Sikh traditions or ignore them as Hindu India has been doing (The Edmonton Journal) 31st December, 1989). Furthermore, whether Sikhs would like to ensure that their homeland is free from AIDS or favor becoming its victim, like Hindu India and the other states of this artificial entity, must be considered (The Edmonton Journal, 12th August, 1990). The Sikh leadership has to remember that their homeland will continue to produce 70% of the total wheat and 50% of the rice that Hindu India consumes to feed its hungry masses. The Sikh leadership has to decide whether it will let the Hindu regimes of tomorrow humiliate their pride by helplessly watching as basic principles of their faith are eroded. I am sure that when they will consider the importance of the above questions, the Sikh nation will come up with the solution, being that the only alternative for the Sikhs is to continue their struggle to liberate their homeland from the slavery of Hindu India. To this end, the Sikh leadership must request help from the peace loving and democratic countries of the world, such as the United States, UK, Canada, Australia, Israel, and Pakistan, under the auspices of the United Nations. I strongly believe that under the present situation of international political tension, the peace loving countries will enjoy the warm friendship and never ending trust of an ally, to be known as the Republic of Khalistan (the sovereign homeland) to preserve the interests of peace loving people around the world.
