Banda Singh Bahadur’s understanding and interpretation of the concept of sovereignty
Gurtej Singh, IAS & IPS (formerly)
[I am before the public again after a brief interval. This was
necessitated by several factors. I had gone to Thailand for
about two weeks. Thereafter, I had to attend two important
seminars at Punjabi University, Patiala. For one of them I was
required to write a paper.
The paper I wrote is presented below. I hope it will be of some
use to those keen to know about Sikh polity and about Banda
Singh Bahadur.]
Fragments clinging to fragments may have made it possible
for Lucretius to identify objects, to “know and name them.”
But slicing history into neat portions and trying to
understand it fragment by fragment is perhaps not the best
method of doing so. The Guru himself indicated that the
effort of ten Nanaks has to be looked upon as inspired by
unity of thought when he laid down the doctrine that all
Nanaks in their ten human forms were to be regarded as one
single Guru. The non-acceptance of the thesis is the single
element that has marred understanding of the true import,
purpose, direction and content of Sikh history. The tendency
to interpret events in isolation, to consign them to carefully
crafted niches, has marred the appreciation of the
contribution of Banda and his companions.
On account of this, ever since his sudden appearance on the
Punjab scene and his equally dramatic exit from the world,
Banda Singh Bahadur has remained an enigmatic figure
defying comprehension. To add to it, even the conventional
sources of history have not been properly mined to yield
information about him and his work in the six years of
intense activity allotted to him by history. The total
disorientation of modern historians regarding the ethos of
the Sikh movement, has taken its own toll. This has rendered
them incapable of drawing conclusions from the clear
messages emanating from the period. The expressive
symbolism and rich imagery, that has fortunately been
passed down fully intact, has not been adequately
interpreted. This includes very expressive legends on the
coins and official seal of the period, graphic description of
Banda’s battles, new trends in the exercise of sovereign
power, rather broad hints about hitherto unheard of power
relationships in society and the palpable sympathy for the
lowly and the abandoned sections as depicted in many
contemporary documents that survive. Not the least is the
spiritual inspiration of the movement that nudged everything
rationally inexplicable into the realm of reality.
Difficulties and mental reservations that impeded the
objective assessment of Banda and his times also deserve
mention. Contemporary Muslim historians use language that
indicates the total frustration and shock at the enormity of
unfolding events. Despite the intense admiration for Banda,
which they expressed in equally intense hatred, they aligned
themselves with the Mughal state which they further
1
identified closely with Islam and wrote from the perspective
of rulers and their faith. Their influence has corrupted the
vision of modern historians like Syad Muhammad Latif.
Taking his cue from them, Latif, tried to weave the private
purpose of demonising Banda with the presentation of
history. The contemporary Hindu historians are conspicuous
by their absence. Those of the later period (except perhaps
Ganesh Das Wadhera) surrendered to the convenient
dynastic ambitions of the Sikh rulers and the imperialistic
demands of the British. The natural reluctance of patronage
seekers to annoy people in authority for the sake of
propagating the truth has not been pronounced in this part of
the world. The Sikhs themselves had no use for the self-
denying theory of polity propounded by the Guru and
practiced by Banda. Rattan Singh Bhangu who alone could
appreciate it, unfortunately betrays signs of succumbing to
official propaganda unleashed by the state. To this he added
a prejudice against Banda for his failure to establish a long
lasting State. They chose the easy path of blaming him
although the blame lay squarely at the door of those who
deserted him at the crucial time. It went unnoticed that the
dissenting Sikh leaders had cast away the collective success
of the Sikhs in exchange for dreams of personal fulfilment,
hoping to pass off desertion as better strategy. The Sikh
historians were, clearly not attuned to making an objective
assessment of Banda. For the Sikh potentates of the later
period Banda was a revealing mirror and therefore an
embarrassment.
To believe that Banda came with just five arrows, five
companions, only twenty-five soldiers and that the legacy of
two and a half centuries did not travel with him to the
Punjab from Nanded, is to completely go astray. The
teachings, the spiritual training and examples set by the
Gurus had yielded a plentiful harvest of honourable,
autonomous individuals profoundly ‘ignorant of the rules of
slavish behaviour’i They had been organised into the close-
knit, militarily trained Order of the Khalsa which had been
charged with extending God’s domain beyond the self. To
those who ignore the magnitude of Banda’s epic
performance and its worldwide ramifications, it becomes a
mere expression of revenge, an orgy of violence by a vicious
character and the macabre play of forces starved for political
prominence. To ignore the ameliorating philosophy that
Banda and his companions came with is to fall straight into
the lap of motivated Mughal news-writers and to be reduced
to the level of biased, short-sighted historians like Latif.
Banda’s supposed deviation from the path of the Guru, also
appears to be a fall-out of the sustained propaganda of the
Mughal state. The strategy appears to have been finalised by
Aurangzeb who assigned a pacifist role to the earlier Gurus.
He is already on record as having asked Guru Gobind Singh
International Journal of Sikh Affairs 21(1), June 2011
to adopt the pacifist ways of the elders of his faith, He asked
Wazir Khan to remind the Guru to avoid the trappings of
political power and to shun deviation from the path of “other
recluses and his own ancestors.”ii Banda was accused of
having become the head of the ‘harmless sect’ of
Nanakpanthis by ‘deception,’ of ‘collecting malcontent
around him’ and of persuading them by ‘misrepresentation
and deception to light the fires of discontent in Hindustan,
the Punjab and the world.’ He was supposed to have ‘defiled
the places of worship’ to have raised ‘the sword of
oppression.’iii This official propaganda was fully or partially
imbibed by later historians in varying degrees according to
their persuasions. Latif finds Banda’s “policy (to be) directly
opposed to Nanak and Govind Singh –.” He thereafter finds
it safe to characterise him as a “wild beast -- a monster—
(with) blood-thirsty propensities.”iv His conclusion is based
on the perception that Banda’s revolution was merely a
‘Muslim-Sikh conflict.’v
H. R. Gupta’s bold attempt to project Banda’s struggle as a
Hindu led, Hindu supported “nationalist movement” appears
untenable.vi Ahmed Shah Batalvi understood that the Guru
administered amrit to Banda before bringing him to join the
Khalsa at his camp in Nanded.vii Banda’s ‘revolt’ was
characterised as the ‘Khalsa revolt.’viii Fugitives, who
represented to the emperor to implore intercession, identified
Banda as a ‘Sikh of the Guru.’ Banda used the Sikh
terminology in addressing strangers. To him everyone was a
‘Singh.’ He urged the Hindus and the rulers of the hills to
merge with the Khalsa. There is strong contemporary
evidence that Banda was a follower of the Udasi order
‘founded’ by Baba Sri Chand son of Guru Nanak. This
would make him fully aware of the Sikh mission and tenets
even before he met the Guru. He always invited his visitors
to take the pahul and to join the Khalsa.ix Several persons
received the Khalsa pahul from him. The three prominent
persons who accepted his invitation were Dindar Khan son
of Jalal Khan Rohilla a minor ruler, Mir Nasiruddin a news-
writer and Chhajju a Jat from Panjwar. He himself presided
over the religious ceremonies of initiation.x Banda’s state
papers bear ample evidence of their origin in the Sikh
establishment. At Amritsar, Banda invited young men to
embrace Sikhi, promising remission of land revenue and
other rewards. Thereupon the people of Majha joined the
Khalsa.xi Ganda Singh quotes a dated Punjabi manuscript to
affirm that not only was Banda strictly following the
instructions laid down in the Guru Granth but was also
meticulously following the direction of Guru Gobind
Singh.xii This evidence is sufficient to characterise Banda’s
political undertaking as a revolution led by the Khalsa.
Banda’s struggle was not against the Muslims or Islam as he
himself stated in one of his official pronouncements.xiii He
had to overcome a grave provocation to make this
declaration of intent. The pronouncement came within
months of the general order of extermination issued against
the Sikhs by the emperor.xiv He was waging a war to
empower the ordinary people. He aimed at establishing a
state which was not faith specific. It belonged to all who
lived within its territories. This makes him the head of a
‘People’s Republic.’ The most important institution that
sustained the medieval state was the army. He recruited his
2
army from amongst the Sikhs as well as the Muslims. xv It
possibly had a sprinkling of Hindus also though that cannot
be readily ascertained as a fact. The ‘low-caste’ people who
joined Banda were living on the fringes of Hindu society and
had no love for it and readily became an integral part of the
Society of the Khalsa by accepting the pahul.
The ideological basis as well as the sheer enormity of the
political strife needs to be fully imbibed. It was noticed as
early as 1723 by the author of the Ibratnama that the
happenings had been of an extraordinary nature and had
constituted a formidable event.xvi Somewhat exaggerating
the initial stages of the campaign, Asrar-e-Samadi, would
have us believe that the Sikhs had defeated every noble of
the empire.xvii They had defeated the Governor of Sarhind,
the Faujdar of Ambala (Latif, 278) as also the Governor of
Jalandhar. Muhammad Qasim, a contemporary and an eye-
witness, is aghast at the “exiling of persons of status.” He
finds the occurrences “strange, astonishing things that defy
imagination.”xviii Latif quotes Iradat Khan, a contemporary,
who appears to discern the deep ideological conflict that
“determined to shake to very basis the true religion of
Islam.”xix The politically conscious Mughal subjects decided
that the happenings merited immediate declaration of jehad
against the Sikhs.xx The Hindu subjects, not wanting to be
left behind in patriotic fervour, liberally financed the jehadis.
Description of the ‘holy warriors’ is available. All kinds of
people, “learned men, mystics, scholars and pious men” who
perceived a threat to the “pure community and the luminous
Muslim law” made a common cause with the Lahore
administration, put together a “godly army—a divine
army.”. For the same author, Banda was an “anarchist.”xxi
Ostensibly, a handful of “badly armed peasants,”xxii
volunteers, without the means of fighting even a pack of
dacoits, arrayed themselves against the most powerful
empire of the times that had been ruling over them for eight
centuries. The empire fielded, “Wazir Khan’s artillery,
Mughal cavalry and cohorts of volunteer Muslim ghazis”
against them.xxiii Even then the Sikh intervention did not
prove to be a Quixotic venture, like charging at a windmill.
Banda and his companions appear to have been fully
determined and amply equipped morally and intellectually to
establish a new kind of a polity (a people’s republic) to
replace the ‘unjust and oppressive’ medieval Mughal state.
They had carefully cultivated ideas and had fully worked out
the proposition that they sought to implement. The coin,
with profoundly meaningful inscription was struck
immediately.xxiv The wording of the official seal was
finalised without delay. At the very outset, the monarchical
tendencies were discouraged. Banda appointed
administrative functionaries. The concept of more than one
person jointly governing an area was initiated. All notions of
heredity were done away with and symbols of royalty were
abandoned. Banda claimed no status higher than that of a
leader without a specific territory to govern directly –
assuming almost the position of a constitutional head of
modern times. His model was copied copiously by the
Sardars and misaldars of the early misal period. They
dispensed with kingship, became indifferent to territorial
possessions and abandoned the hereditary principles.
Express consent of the governed became necessary to claim
International Journal of Sikh Affairs 21(1), June 2011
dominion over a territory.xxv Ranjit Singh, popularly
considered an absolute ruler, had to keep up appearances of
abiding by Banda’s ideal.xxvi Leadership among Sardars
went by merit and not by hereditary succession.xxvii
Objective of the Gurus is clear from their pronouncements,
conduct and the nature of the institutions that they
established. They sought to bring about a total change in the
human character, the environment and the mode of
governance. Though India was the centre of their activity,
their concerns transcended borders and ignored barriers of
all kind. They aimed at so arranging the spiritual, social,
economic, political and psychological environment of
human habitats so as to bring about a tension free and
peaceful society in which human beings lived in perfect
harmony, enjoyed an honourable existence enabling them to
make limitless spiritual progress. The ever increasing desire
to take humankind on that road becomes more and more
pronounced with every successor Guru. Banda gives priority
to the mission stipulated by the Guru when he emphatically
announces in one of the few documents still in existence: ‘I
have brought into existence the idyllic age of Truth
(satyug).’xxviii If this element is missed in the making of
Banda and the original nature of polity he created is ignored,
the historian is likely to end up without a proper frame of
reference in which to place his life and achievements.
Integral to the understanding of Banda’s concept of
sovereignty is also the interpretation of the emblems of
authority used by him, Also relevant is the language of the
state papers, the inscriptions on the official seal and the
coins struck by him. These need to be understood in the
context of the Sikh movement of which he was the most
prominent political leader. It is not enough to attribute his
style of exercising political authority to his being “unique,
unpretentious and selfless” as has been done by one of our
greatest historians.xxix The inscription on the official seal as
reported to Bahadur Shah on July 6, 1710,xxx that is within
about thirty-six days of the assumption of sovereign power,
reads, ‘the manifest and the un-manifest glory of Guru
Nanak (lies in insisting that) the True Lord Himself is the
King in the spiritual world as also in the temporal.’ This
sentiment finds ample support in the bani of Guru Granth.xxxi
Banda is thereby repudiating the conventional theory of
sovereignty and is promulgating a new doctrine whereby the
sovereign power inheres in God and by derivation vests with
the people. He follows up the pronouncement by abolishing
monarchy. The Sikh political leaders of the misl period
belonged to or at least were descendants in interest of those
who had deserted Banda. Even then they had to tread
cautiously in the matter of defying Banda’s political
formulation. Later on Ranjit Singh had to wage a heavily
veiled ideological war of sorts to scuttle the theory and to
pave the way for hereditary succession.
An attempt may be made to understand the legends on
Banda’s coins and the official seal. One on the coin appears
to state the general approach of the Khalsa Order, ‘the Sikhs
assert that the central import of the doctrine of Nanak bears
fruit in both the worlds. By the Grace of the True Master,
victory belongs to Guru Gobind Singh, the King of
Kings.’xxxii The one on the seal is more specific and relates
to the business of the government ‘Victory flows effortlessly
3
to the concepts of power relationships and the management
of resources, formulated by the ever victorious Guru, Nanak,
Gobind Singh.’xxxiii
His letter to the Khalsa of Jaunpur may be translated as
follows:xxxiv
God is 1. (May you always) behold victory!xxxv
It is the order of the True Master that the Sarbat Khalsa of
Jaunpur be saved by the Guru. For redeeming the (human)
birth, contemplate upon the Guru and repeat his name. You
are the Khalsa of the respected Akalpurakh (the Immortal
Being). Wear five weapons on seeing this order and be
immediately seen in the presence. Abide by the code of
conduct of the Khalsa: do not consume any cannabis,
tobacco, opium, poppy husk, alcohol or intoxicant. Do not
eat fish or onions. Shun extra-marital affair and do not steal.
I have provided for the ‘age of Truth’ to prevail. Maintain
mutual affection. The Guru shall reach out to him who obeys
my direction to conform to the Khalsa code of conduct. The
date is the 12th of Poh, the 1st year. Lines: ten. [December
12, 1710 CE]
In the above letter and legends Banda is conveying that he is
a supporter of a new revolutionary theory of polity and
favours a complete change in the political, economic and
social relationships. The legend on Banda’s seal of office
implies: triumph attends upon Guru Nanak’s and Gobind
Singh’s formulations that generously dispense political
power and resources (means of subsistence).’ This, he
believes, is the import of the central doctrine of the faith of
the Guru grounded in the Will of the Immortal Being. The
basic postulates impinging upon the primary human
concerns are to be translated into workable principles
benefiting the entire humankind under the guidance of the
strictly disciplined and fully armed (and therefore,
sovereign) Khalsa. This, he claims, is capable of
transforming all kinds of human relations that are henceforth
to be based on complete tolerance and mutual understanding.
Such a world, he feels, is so radically different from the one
in existence that it can be described as the ‘age of Truth’ or a
revolutionary era wherein human affairs are regulated
strictly according to Truth (justice) leading to the
elimination of conflict. He believes that implementing these
postulates is the purpose of life, the very goal of spiritual
striving. In the other letter to the congregation of Bhai Rupa,
he specifically promises ‘everlasting felicity’ (nihal hovega)
to those who would give armed support to the sovereignty of
the common people initiated by him.
At the earliest the Sikh administration dismissed the
oppressive revenue collectors, the very face of the Mughals
to the people. They overturned the Zamindari system,xxxvi the
cornerstone of the Mughal administration. It changed the
mode of revenue collection, making it more humane. This
fact alone continued to draw a large number of adherents to
the society of the Khalsa that led the Sikh movement until it
permanently overthrew the Mughal state at the end of the
18th century.
At the centre of Banda’s scheme of governance were the
ordinary people whose express consent in respect to their
governors became necessary for the first time in history.
Besides drawing high officials from amongst them, the
International Journal of Sikh Affairs 21(1), June 2011
administration was required to integrate their concerns with
the philosophy of governance and the policy of the state.
Political and administrative power was used to elevate the
humble and to empower the lowest amongst the low. Since it
was the people’s government, persons of humble origins
were appointed to prestigious posts neglecting the
aristocratic and the supposedly high born individuals.xxxvii
Consequently came about a revolutionary change in the
power relationship, thus earning for the Sikh people the
epithet of “topsy-turvy sect” from Warid writing in
1734.xxxviii The basic principles of polity then propagated
remained in vogue until the very end of Ranjit Singh’s rule.
Far reaching reforms did not remain confined to politics and
administration only. A complete change was brought about
in the social relations. Centuries old prejudices were
eliminated and religious injunctions emanating in the ancient
scriptures were rendered inoperative.xxxix Gupta projects
Banda as a “great reformer,” who “broke down the barriers
of caste.”xl
All accounts agree that Banda and his companions exhibited
extreme bravery in the grossly unequal battles they fought.xli
They without doubt believed that they were a people charged
by their Guru with bringing the fire of liberty, the warmth of
human dignity and the supreme comfort of honourable
existence to the people of the world. After their Guru, they
were the first promoters of self-rule. They took up the
serious business with missionary zeal and on expectation of
the ultimate reward: that of supreme spiritual satisfaction
(achieving the state of ‘nihal’ or eternal bliss).
A glimpse of the captured Sikh soldiers has been afforded to
us by history. Their demeanour, their morale under extreme
stress and in the face of certain death betrays the mettle of
highly spiritualised voluntary soldiers leading a liberation
struggle. It sees them mocking their captors and
executioners.xlii They stood by their convictions to the end
and their pride in the loftiness of their cause was not
diminished.xliii A foreign Embassy present in Delhi found it
“remarkable” that the Sikhs underwent their fate with
equanimity and that none apostatised from their religion.xliv
“Before execution an offer was made to spare their lives if
they could become Musalman. None volunteered to do
so.”xlv A newly married young man, the only son of a widow
was inspired to adopt the Sikh way on seeing the suffering of
the captives. He was pardoned on the intercession of his
mother and wife who claimed that he was not a Sikh. He
declined to avail the reprieve,xlvi Whosoever he was, this
young man appears to have had a better understanding of the
Sikh faith and the purpose of Banda. His sacrifice was
symbolic. There is little doubt that he wished his example to
find many takers. Even Latif feels compelled to
acknowledge the fortitude of Banda and his companions in
extremely trying circumstances.xlvii Such loftiness of spirit is
not the equipment of a people motivated by mundane
considerations. The reaction betrays a people more divinely
inspired than highly motivated in the mundane sense. They
claimed to be God’s army and supported their claim with
their conduct.
Assessment of Banda’s role, contribution and importance in
history
4
The high minded Banda was one of the noblest idealists
thrown up by the Sikh movement in the post-Guru period.
His life is but a philosophical treatise that the Guru ‘wrote’
to preserve his vision of ideal human society of the future
thereby recording the contribution of the Sikh movement to
the slowly emerging new world civilisation of the Guru’s
conception. His emphasis on making the people’s concern
the basis of political action, his insistence on drawing no
distinction between citizens on the basis of religion, rank or
caste, his stress on the importance of the individual and
above all his successful attempt at organising the world’s
first people’s party for political action, of rooting it in non-
denominational popular ideology and of accepting it as the
true essence of spiritual striving, is remarkable by any
standards of any age. He is the greatest person of modern
times; in fact, his career bids good-bye to the dark ages and
ushers in the modern times. If a Mozart of the future ever
composes a symphony depicting his career, it will have the
most elevating effect on the human spirit. He must be
regarded as a remarkable man who could stand shoulder to
shoulder with the noblest of any culture of any region of any
age. In their martyrdom which they courted so
enthusiastically, Banda and his companions immortalised
themselves, not only as the champions of people’s causes
but also placed themselves amongst the most pure minded of
martyrs. Together they make the most awesome seven
hundred that the world has ever seen and constitute a
befitting tribute to their Guru. They did not ride “into the
valley of death” mindlessly and in pursuance of an erroneous
mortal command but consciously chose to fulfil a spiritual
purpose.
To somexlviii believers in the largely Judeo-Christian concept
of millennialism, which also finds reflection in Islamic
thought, Banda proposed a revolutionary solution to all the
spiritual, personal, social and political predicaments of
humankind. Muslim chroniclers of Banda are also
apparently overwhelmed by the salvationary content of his
assignment. They unwittingly cast him into the role of a
Mahdi. The spontaneity, the egalitarian character, the total
revolution it brought about in power relations, the firm
grounding in spiritualism and the intense desire to establish
an idyllic socio-political order dreamt of by some of the
greatest benefactors of humankind, all combine to
characterise Banda’s effort as an expression of an aspect of
“progressive millennialism.”

Hari Ram Gupta’s attempt to pass off hearsay as evidence
does not appear to work. Such is the intensity of his
nationalistic fervour that he brushes aside the need to cite a
source for this branch of ‘evidence,’ thereby risking his own
reputation as a historian. Against ample available evidence
he pits his bare assertion that Banda did not receive pahul.
He represents even Guru Gobind Singh, who pulled him out
International Journal of Sikh Affairs 21(1), June 2011
of complete obscurity to the centre stage of history, of
conspiring against Banda to prevent his becoming popular
among the Sikhs. In his opinion, Tara Bai inspired him at
least as much as the Guru. For him Malerkotla was spared
from ravage, not by the Guru’s blessing, but on the
intervention of one Kishan Das Bania a fictitious character.
Gupta even assigns a language (Hindvi) to Banda that
supposedly charmed the Hindus into supporting him. History
of the Sikhs, vol.ii, (1978), Munshiram Manoharlal
Publishers Pvt. Ltd., Delhi.1992, pp. 8, 4, 7 and 3. He
exaggerates the welcome that Banda received in the
‘Haryana’ region, whereas it is known; “it was not surprising
that in some areas the zamindars apparently Jats, who had
supported Banda were unable to accept pahul, turned against
the Sikhs. Towards the south-east of Sirhind, in the plains of
Ambala, Thanesar and Karnal, Banda’s success was
transient. In 1712 only seventeen persons of the entire non-
Muslim population of Thanesar could be identified as Sikhs.
Fourteen of them were willing to become Muslims to avoid
torture and death.” Muzafar Alam, The Crisis of Empire in
Mughal North India, Oxford University Press, Delhi, 1997,
p. 154; Rattan Singh Bhangu goes to the extent of saying
that the Hindu recipients of Banda’s military favours in the
vicinity of Delhi invited and joined the Mughal faujdar of
Kaithal in curbing Banda’s insurgency.(See, Sri Gur Panth
Parkash, Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee,
Amritsar, 1984, p. 132; The Hindus (apparently the Khatris
and other trading communities) of Lahore financed the
voluntary effort of the Saiyids to fight against the Sikhs.
They joined hands with the Muslims in according a welcome
to such Mughal forces as could score victories over the
Sikhs. Muzafar Alam, The Crisis of Empire in Mughal North

Ganda Singh quotes a Punjabi MS Pothi (dated 1779 CE, p.

is to be just, is written in the Holy Granth. Those who do not
administer justice are cast into hell. – Thus spoke to me the
Great Man [Guru Gobind Singh]. If you call yourselves the
Sikhs of the Great Man, do not practise sin, adharma and
injustice. Raise up true Sikhs and smite those who do un-
Sikh like acts. Bear the saying of the Great Man in your

Patiala, 1969, p. 24; Both Bhangu and Ahmed Shah Batalvi,
agree that the governed people had an important say in who
would rule over them.
The more the matter is probed, the more it reveals that
every notion associated with hereditary kingship was
deliberately thrown overboard. Ahmed Shah Batalvi,
mentions the similar example of Nawab Kapur Singh who
was a supreme leader but had no territory under his own
governance, p. 45. There were territories that belonged to no
one in particular but collectively to all. Bhangu mentions the
Malwa country in that context. (Both Bhangu and) Batalvi,
p. 38 point out Amritsar as another such area. In imitation of
Banda’s arrangement, there were areas that were ruled
jointly by several Sardars. For instance Lahore was ruled
jointly by three Sardars, p. 37. Kanheyias and Ramgarhias
jointly ruled territories for many years. Multan was ruled
International Journal of Sikh Affairs 21(1), June 2011

Lehna Singh. After its conquest, Kasur was divided into four
parts; two went to the Bhangis, and one each to Ramgarhiyas
and Kanheyias p. 55. Ranjit Singh “refrained from setting up
institutions which might appear monarchical. In the first
public Darbar held for the purpose of raj tilak in 1802, Ranjit
Singh declared that his government will be styled ‘Sarkar

The terminology ‘Degh Tegh’ appears to have been in
common use at Banda’s time. It was perhaps used to connote
concepts governing the power relations in a polity and the
distribution of resources. A contemporary Persian work,
Asrar-i-Samadi, p. 9, affirms that these are ‘twin’ concepts
and have been in vogue from ‘time immemorial.’ The
context in which the author uses it makes it further clear that
these are related to the function of the state. This translation
has been attempted in that light.

The term fateh darshan appears to have been better
understood by Irvine, Later Mughals, p. 110. It has to be
read as the desire of a general in the field to hope and pray

SIKHS AND THE REPUBLIC DAY (January 26th, 1950) OF THE "INCORPORATION OF
BRAHMINS-HINDUS" alias the alleged Indian democracy: as Dr Sekhon views it
Dr. Awatar Singh Sekhon
th
On this fateful day of January 26 , 1950 the Sikh representatives of
the 'Landless Sikh Nation, PUNJAB (under the occupation of the
'Brahmins-Hindus' alleged Incorporation since August 15th, 1947)'
"rejected" the Indian Constitution 1950, in the Incorporation's
parliament called Lok Sabha, In fact, the very document has been
'rejected' twice earlier by the Sikhs before it was adopted in the
parliament to govern the ‘Incorporation’. The Sikhs'
representatives, gave a crystal clear message to Lok
Sabha/parliament, out rightly 'rejected' the Constitution, because it
did not meet their aspirations and the Sikh Code of Conduct.
Consequently, the Sikh representatives walked out in protest from
Lok Sabha. It was the Sikhs' message to the 'Brahmins-Hindus'
Incorporation that the "Constitution has nothing to do with the
Sikhs; rather it is like committing suicide for the Sikhs if it were
accepted". None of the Sikhs elected representavies had
signed/endorsed/accepted the Indian Constitution 1950 since it was
accepted by the parliament against the wishes of the Sikhs of the
'Landless Sikh Nation, PUNJAB'. This was the 'third' time when
the Sikhs' elected representatives 'rejected' the Constitution, in its
draft and final forms, in the parliament (i. e., 1948, November 26th,
1949 and 1950). The Sikh representatives who rejected the
Constitution were Sardar Hukam Singh and Sardar Bhupinder
Singh Maan, both members of the parliament. Subsequently, Sirdar
Kapur Singh, ICS, MP, MLA, and the National Professor of
Sikhism not only "rejected" it on the fourth time, but also told the
Brahmin-Hindu members that 'it is not worth the paper written on
it'. He did it on behalf of the Sikhs of their Holy and Historical
Homeland, PUNJAB, now the "Landless Sikh Nation" since
August 15th, 1947. This was the day when the 'Brahmins-Hindus'
Incorporation 'robbed' the Sikhs of PUNJAB, the Sikh Nation, Sikh
Raj, of monarch Ranjit Singh, 1799 to March 14th, 1849. The Sikh
Raj, PUNJAB, of Monarch Ranjit Singh was the "First Sovereign
and Secular" nation of South Asia; whereas, the 'Brahmins-Hindus'
had been 'subservient' to the Afghans, Mughals, Sikhs, British,
Portuguese, etc., for more than 3,500 years and until the morning
hours of August 15th, 1947 until the British Empire's agent granted
political power to the class of 'subservient' on a platter. Right after
receiving the political power, the Incorporation 'robbed' the 'Sikh
Nation, Punjab, made it a colony of the Incorporation. With this the
Brahmins-Hindus Incorporation started following 'colonialism'
right since August 15th, 1947. That is, the Landless Sikh Nation
now became a colony of the Brahmins-Hindus’ imperialism. It
should be noted that the Sikh Nation, PUNJAB, as 'annexed' by the
British Empire since March 29th, 1849 remained ‘annexed’ until
the early hours of August 15th, 1947, i. e., until the political power
was handed over to the 'unelected' leaders of the Incorporation.
After receiving political reign from the British India’s agent, it
became merely a ‘requirement’ to ‘rob’ the Sikh Nation, Punjab, as
a colony of the Incorporation.
Right after the 'robbery' of the Sikh Nation, PUNJAB (under the
7
the first South Asian Edition) 1998.256-8; see also John
Keay, India A History, Perennial, London 2004, pp. 361,

the references pertaining to millennialism. - Author)
occupation of the 'Incorporation') and making the Sikhs a 'Landless
Sikh Nation', the Incorporation's hierarchy consisting of JL Nehru-
CL Trivedi-VB Patel, the trio, the prime minister, governor of
Punjab and Home Minister of the Incorporation, respectively,
issued a secret circular to the District Commissioners of Punjab,
ordering them the "Sikhs are a lawless people, they are dangerous
to the law-abiding Hindus [including the Brahmins] and they must
be dealt with firmly." This was the second back-stabbing of the
Sikhs of the 'Landless Sikh Nation', PUNJAB, the Sikh Raj, which
has been continuing its "Struggle To Regain Their Sovereignty,
Independence and Political power, by peaceful means, from the
British Empire, since March 14th, 1849." This was the day when
the Sikh Raj/Nation's forces surrendered to the British Empire and
'Not' to any 'Brahmins or Hindus'. The struggle of the Sikhs for
their Sikh Nation, Punjab, by the Sikhs has been continuing
peacefully, without any interruption, since March 14th, 1849. The
Sikhs' struggle is a pain in the neck of the 'Incorporation’.
Since the 'robbery by the Incorporation' of the Sikh Nation and
declaring the Sikhs a 'lawless people' on October 10th, 1947, the
Incorporation failed to fulfill its promises made to the Sikhs in the
pre-15th August, 1947 era (see Sekhon AS 2009 in 25 Years After
1984 Assault on Darbar Sahib Laying the Foundation of Khalistan
(ed) Dr A S Sekhon ISBN 0-9548929-4-1; a publication of the
London Institute of South Asia <www.lisauk.com>. Rather, when
seeing that their 'robbery' of the 'Landless Sikh Nation' did not
serve their expected results: (i) making them 'Hindus' (neither a
religion nor a culture, according to the Hindu, Sikh and Sir VT
Rajshekar) in accordance with Article 25 of the Indian Constitution
of the 1950's that was 'rejected' by the Sikhs, (ii) killings of Sikhs
in the Narela Conference of Akalis, for example, a young man
Kaka Inderjit Singh who was 9-year-old (Dilgeer HS and Sekhon
AS 1992 ISBN 0-96954-0-5; Sekhon, AS Dilgeer HS 2006 in A
WHITE PAPER ON KHALISTAN (A TRUE STORY) THE SIKH
NATION , Third Edition, ISBN 0-9695964-8-0; a publication of
The Sikh Educational Trust), and (iii) betrayal of the Sikh Nation
by a Brahmin, Master Tara Singh, converted to the 'House of Guru
Baba Nanak Sahib' (Ram Singh 2009 Betrayal of Sikh Nation by
Master Tara Singh ISBN 978-0-9811360-6-6), etc. The
Incorporation, according to the author (Dr. Sekhon) found it
difficult to ignore the just and rightful demands of the Sikhs of the
'Landless Sikh nation', as promised by the Brahmins-Hindus of the
British India Empire. Accordingly, the plans were hatched to (i)
exterminate the Sikhs of the 'Landless Sikh Nation, Punjab', by the
Incorporation headed by JL Nehru, the architect of the anti-Sikh
policies of Incorporation alias the 'Brahmins-Hindus' alleged Indian
democracy, (ii) reduce the Sikhs in the Incorporation's armed forces
from 36% to less than 1.9%, (iii) hatching a plan to get rid of the
senior Sikh generals of the armed forces by the hook or by the
crook. The helicopter crash near Kud in the Internationally
Disputed Areas of Jammu and Kashmir, which took the lives of
International Journal of Sikh Affairs 21(1), June 2011
brave Lt. Gen like Bikram Singh, Daulat Singh, Pinto and others in
November '64 are a prime example (Sekhon AS 2010 The Sikhs:
Sovereignty To Slavery ISBN 0-978-9811360-8-0, (iv)
Incorporation's pogroms of the early 1970s, especially the
'massacre of Sikhs in 1978 in Amritsar, (v) fake encounter killings
of the Sikhs, the Sikh youth in particular (with the notion that Sikhs
are criminals and 'No Hindu-Brahmin can be criminal’ in
PUNJAB', to cite the least (see Dilgeer HS and Sekhon AS 1992
ISBN 0-9695964-0-5). It must be noted that in the late 1970s, two
Brahmins or Pandey brothers carried out successfully the first air
piracy of South Asia of an Indian Airlines plane to secure the
release of their beloved Congress leader, Indira Gandhi, from
imprisonment under the Bhartiya Janta Party’s administration.
Later, these criminals (Pandey brothers) were made law-makers
(MLA) of the U P Legislative assembly at the recommendation of
their leader, Indira Gandhi alias Maimuna Begum
(www.krishnajnehru.blogspot.com of 6/8/2009; who says the crime
does not pay in the Incorporation?). To suppress and exterminate
Sikhs of the 'Landless Sikh Nation, PUNJAB', Indira Gandhi
intensified her plans against the Sikhs, deliberate disruption of the
‘law and order’, and slandering of the Sikhs, calling them a 'lawless
community' and to call them 'miscreants, terrorists, uncooperative,
anti-nationals, including the famous 'Destruction of Air India Flight
182' on June 23rd, 1985, off the western coast of Ireland (Sekhon
AS 2010 Int J Sikh Affairs 20(2), 2-7 ISSN 1481-5435). Here are a
few examples. To make the Sikhs 'terrorists', the Incorporation's
armed, intelligence, foreign missions, including the Research and
Analysis Wing under RN Kao, which had its office in India
Gandhi's official residence in New Delhi, etc., were employed to
wage an 'undeclared' war in the form of "Operation Bluestar" of
June, 1984. This undeclared war took a toll of more than 260,000
innocent and unarmed Sikh toddlers, children, youth, male and
female folks, and elderly folks between the period of 1st and 6th of
June 1984, along with a few ‘saviors’ of the Darbar Sahib Complex
who faced a huge armed forces of the ‘Incorporation’. Fo what?
The ‘undeclared war’ was to get rid of the Sikhs of the 'Landless
Sikh Nation, PUNJAB (under the Incorporation's occupation since
August 15th, 1947) and to assimilate the 'Landless Sikh Nation,
PUNJAB, into the ‘Incorporation’, once and for all. It is
noteworthy that the Sikhs have 'No Constitutional Rights in the
Indian Constitution of 1950. The Constitution 'rejected' by the
Sikhs' elected representatives in 1948, November 26th, 1949, 1950
and more recently on September 6th, 1965 is indicative of the
'Brahmins and their Hindu followers being the enemies of the
Sikhs. The Sikhs did not accept Indira Gandhi's partition of the
'Landless Sikh Nation PUNJAB' into Punjab (attacked by the
'undeclared' war as described and made a 'CONCENTRATION
CAMP' in the "Operation Bluestar era in June, 1984), Haryana and
Himachal Pradesh as well as other Punjabi-speaking areas
surrounding the 'Landless Sikh Nation', against the wishes of the
'Landless Sikh nation, PUNJAB’ in 1966.
Additionally, the Incorporation took away the control of the
Punjab’s Rivers Water Reservoir, the Bakhra-Nangal Dam, and
gave Punjab's waters to the neighboring 'Hindu-Brahmin'
states/provinces without any compensation to PUNJAB, the Punjab
river waters' by-products (electricity and so on), etc. This has been
the Incorporation's heavy handedness. In fact, the 'robbery' of the
'Landless Sikh Nation, Punjab, Khalistan, has been continuing till
the day of this writing. The 'Landless Sikh Nation' has been denied
any heavy industry, IT industry, schools are without teachers,
making the Landless Sikh Nation, PUNJAB, a nation of 'illiterates'.
These policies are pursued actively since the 'undeclared war' and
making Punjab a 'CONCENTRATION CAMP' permanently, as
described above. More than 70,000 agriculture-dependent families
8
were forced to commit suicide in 6-districts of PUNJAB, and this
process has been continuing in the Punjab and other non-Brahmin-
Hindu states at the rate of 17,000 families per year.
Both the Incorporation and its blessed administration of Prakash
(Hanera/Darkness) Sinh Badal, an agent of RAW, have been
keeping over 10,000 Sikh youth (now young men and young ladies)
in the Incorporation and Punjab's jails, since the 'undeclared' war of
June, 1984, waged on the Sikh Nation, PUNJAB. It must be stated
that Sardar Balwant Singh Rajoana, Professor Davinder Pal Singh
Bhullar (both on death row), Bhai Daljit Singh Bittu and associates
are kept deliberately in the Incorporation’s jails. The question
arises when the Sikhs of the 'Landless Sikh Nation, PUNJAB, have
no Constitutional Rights and the Sikhs have not accepted to-date
the Incorporation's Constitution, the Indian Constitution of 1950,
then under what Constitutional law have the Sikhs been kept in jails
and the Incorporation is out to give capital punishment to Sardar
Balwant Singh Rajoana, Professor Bhullar and their fellow citizens
of the 'Landless Sikh Nation'?
The Brahmins-Hindus' Incorporation has been holding the Sikhs'
Holy and historic nation's apex institutions, the Darbar Sahib
Complex, Sikhs' Supreme Seat of Polity, The Akal Takht Sahib,
and Gurdwaras under its 'Tight Control'. What a democratic sham
the Indian democracy is! Also, the ministers at the Darbar Sahib
Complex are the ‘cronies’ of their master, Prakash
(Hanera/Darkness) Sinh Badal and the Akali Dal-Badal Private
Limited, Incorporation.
It must be noted by the citizens of the 'Landless Sikh Nation,
Punjab, Khalistan' that the 'Brahmins-Hindus' are out to 'swallow'
the Sikhs as described by the founder of Sikhism, Baba Guru
Nanak Sahib, that: "Mathe Tikka Terrh Dhotti Kakhaii Hath
Chhurri Jagat Kasai," which means that these barbarous Brahmin-
Hindu butchers of our peaceful world are all out to destroy the
Sikhs, Sikh religion (5th largest religion of our world), Sikh culture,
Sikh Code of Conduct/Sikh Maryada; along with the non-Brahmin-
Hindu nationalities.
The last and not the least question is the turbaned Brahmins-Hindus
in 'The Sikh Identity'. The Sikhs have to realize that by
participating in the Incorporation's so-called election process, under
the Indian Constitution of 1950, 'rejected' repeatedly by their
elected representatives, what are these turbaned Brahmins-Hindus
trying to prove? In the author's view, they all have been 'back
stabbing' Sardar Hukam Singh, Sardar Bhupinder Singh Maan,
Sirdar Kapur Singh, ICS, MP, MLA and National Professor of
Sikhism, and more than 3.4 million (34-lakh, Int J Sikh Affairs
20(2), 24, 2010 ISSN 1481-5435) Sikhs (martyrs) exterminated by
the Incorporation since August 15th, 1947. Shame on you the
power hungry turbaned 'Brahmins-Hindus' in 'The Sikh Identity'.
Shame to the Brahmins-Hindus’ Incorporation and its demoncracy
alias democracy, the killers and organizers of the ‘Sikhs genocide,
pogroms, etc.
The day of January 26th should be regarded as the 'Black day for
the Landless Sikh Nation, PUNJAB’, and other non-Brahmins-
Hindus' minorities as well.
Further, Khalsaji, Gurbani (Sikh Guru Sahibaans’ teachings
inscribed in Guru Granth Sahib) says: “Man Maila Such Nirmala
Kionka Miliya Jaye, Prabh Mele Tan Mil Rahe Haume Shabad
Jalaye.” All these turbaned Hindus-Brahmins have been deceiving
the ‘Landless Sikh Nation’, since August 15th, 1947.
May the Almighty bless you, the Guru Khalsa Panth alias the
Landless Sikh Nation, along with the mankind

environments. The armies of the whole non-Muslim world
have ganged up against the Muslims and are persecuting
them since 2001. Even non-Muslim countries which were
enmeshed in centuries old enmity and have been drawing
blood of each other have forgotten their hostility and have
joined hands and picked up cudgels against common enemy.
Jewish-Christian alliance against Islam when seen in
historical perspective needs no emphasis. Country like India
which till 1991 had remained in the forefront of non-aligned
movement during the Cold War has made a u-turn on its
policy of anti-western imperialism and has got aligned with
imperialist USA. This is notwithstanding that Indo-US
friendship and collaboration to an extent is restricted to
terrorism.
Soon after partition of India in August 1947, India had tilted
towards Moscow. This tilt was much to the chagrin of USA.
Despite its wooing, India under Nehru dynasty refused to
move out of the lap of Moscow and befriend Washington.
Eisenhower, President of USA from 1953 to 1961 had tried
to convince Nehru to make India part of anti-communist
alliance but failed. He paid an official visit to India in 1959
to somehow convince Indian leadership to join up with USA
to contain growing power of China but didn’t solicit
encouraging response. John F Kennedy made concerted
efforts to pullout India from Soviet camp and to make it
stand up against China but couldn’t make any headway.
Although India had come fully under the umbrella of USSR,
but it never strained its relations with USA the way Pakistan
had spoilt its relations with USSR after it joined western
defence pacts. Even when India supported Soviet invasion
and occupation of Afghanistan in December 1979 and
castigated US policies, it didn’t mar Indo-US relations.
The 1965 and 1971 Indo-Pak wars also didn’t cast adverse
effects on working relations of India and USA. The US
should have ethically provided all out material and moral
support to Pakistan since it was its ally and member of
SEATO and CENTO. On the contrary, it stopped flow of
defence items which were in the pipeline and imposed
economic and military sanctions. In the 1971 war, the US
gave false hopes to Pakistan that its 7th Fleet was on its way
and would come to the rescue of beleaguered Pak military
9
troops in erstwhile East Pakistan but it never came. Gen
Yahya regime naively kept waiting not realizing that a non-
Muslim ally would never come to the aid of a Muslim
country particularly when it is fighting against a non-Muslim
country. Conversely, Soviet Union provided full support to
India before and during the war to breakup Pakistan into two
halves.
India benefited a great deal from its closeness with USSR in
terms of development of its economy and military strength.
Moscow became the biggest supplier of arms to India and in
expanding its defence industrial base. Indo-Soviet intimacy
remained unbroken till the collapse of Soviet Union. Even
after India shifted into US lap, their relationship remained
cordial. Defence, economic and nuclear deals are still being
signed and 70% of Indian forces weaponry is Russian origin.
What is however noteworthy is that when the Soviet empire
was on deathbed and gasping for breath, India didn’t even
wait for its demise. It hastened to abandon the sinking ship
and climbed aboard the ship of USA. In order to develop
intimate relations with the sole super power which it had
been criticizing, India thought it necessary to build relations
with Israel and European Union. Indo-US collaboration in
various fields nurtured throughout the 1990s.
When India under extremist Hindu party BJP led by Atal
Bihari Vajpayee carried two nuclear tests on 11 May 1998
and three more on 13 May, it created a stir in the world. A
visible change came in the attitudes of Indian leaders
towards Pakistan and they started behaving arrogantly.
Temporary economic sanctions were levied by USA and
Japan on India to show to the world that USA was
evenhanded in its dealings; however sanctions were removed
in September 2001 since India was not a Muslim state and
was a secular state. One doesn’t have to recount the anger of
US leadership when Pakistan conducted similar tests.
India could not have risked carrying out five nuclear tests
without tacit understanding of US President Bill Clinton. In
fact, nuclear tests led to further warming of Indo-US ties.
This was evident from visit of Clinton to India in March
2000 who laid the foundation of Indo-US strategic
relationship. It was the first step to make India a regional
power and pave its way towards attaining big power status.
9/11 came as God given opportunity for India to become a
key country for USA in its dealings with this region. It
managed to convince Washington that like USA India was
also a victim of terrorism. Israel played its role in assigning
International Journal of Sikh Affairs 21(1), June 2011
a key role to India in future regional affairs particularly in
Afghanistan. Afghan adventure lent strength to Indo-US-
Israeli nexus. So-called champions of democracy and human
rights who had earned the notoriety of worst abusers of
human rights decided to sail in one boat and jointly execute
the slaughter of Muslims under the guise of terrorism and to
attain their common strategic and economic objectives.
In January 2004, Indo-US relationship crossed another
milestone in the field of defence collaboration. In 2005,
process of joint Indo-US naval exercises commenced. In
order to protect US-Israeli commercial interests in Indian
Ocean and to keep an eye on activities of Muslim countries,
George W Bush declared India as the policemen of Indian
Ocean. In this context, it was planned to entrust Indian Navy
with the responsibility of protecting sea lanes from Suez
Canal up till Singapore.
In April 2005, another Indo-US agreement termed as ‘open
sky’ was signed. Purpose behind the deal was to remove all
restrictions imposed by Israel and USA and to open avenues
for two-way free transactions. Cooperation in the fields of
defence, civil nuclear technology, space and high technology
were strengthened during the state visit of Indian PM to
Washington in July 2005. On the visit of Bush to India in
March 2006, tens of defence, economic and trade deals were
inked and a commitment for awarding civil nuclear
technology given. In December, the US Congress approved
the nuclear deal despite knowing that India had not signed
CTBT.

Brigadier Asif Haroon Raja
Piare Bhai Sahib Asif Haroon Raja ji,
Aslaam O Alaikum!
I enjoy your write-ups on India alias the ‘Brahmins-Hindus
Incorporation’, hereafter termed as the Incorporation. The present
one entitled, ‘The U S is all set to make India a global power’.
Indeed in the times we are in, one may agree with your title,
especially since the state visit to India alias Incorporation’. The
incorporation which looks more like a police state than a 'global
power'; as referred by the Congressman Dana Rohrabacher of the
United States. Congressman said, "as far as the Sikhs and non-
Hindu minorities are concerned, India might as well be a Nazi
Germany.” There has been a behavior change evident in the
relations between the U S and the Incorporation since the visit.
Undoubtedly, both the international news media and the state-
controlled Incorporation’s news media tried their utmost to raise
the image of the latter; unfortunately, relations failed to sustain
effectiveness as seen during the days of visit, although they are
described cordial in diplomatic terms. There have been many
10
Award of civil nuclear deal by Bush Administration was
meant to convert India into a global power. IAEA Board of
Governors meeting in August 2008 gave a go-ahead signal
to Nuclear Suppliers Group to supply nuclear material to
India. Barack Obama has now reconfirmed that India has
emerged as the regional and global power. Contracts worth
$10 billion were signed during his visit to India in
November 2010. India has also been given proxy power in
Afghanistan against Pakistan. All the three US presidents
have played a part in upgrading the standing of India and in
projecting it as a counterweight to China.
The US Civil nuclear deal has allowed India the right to
reprocess spent nuclear fuel of US origin. Whatever
restrictions imposed on transfer of technology was removed
by Obama. The US is all set to welcome India in the nuclear
club of five and to make it permanent member of UNSC.
The US will support India’s admission in four multilateral
export control regimes including Nuclear Suppliers Group
and Missile Technology Control Regime. All these are clear
signs that Washington has made up its mind to make India a
global power.
Our leaders are however still convinced that the US is
Pakistan’s trusted friend and will not take any direct or
indirect step to harm Pakistan’s interests. They seem to have
accepted US decision to make India a global power.

situations, which are pre-requisite for a country that has 50%
hungry mouths or more and to be called a ‘global power' or a
country highly anxious to enjoy the status of a global power.
Before I put my views on a global power, I would like to invite
your attention and the readership as well to consider critically
whether a country deserves to be called a global power where the
'Brahmins-Hindus' parliament or Lok Sabha’s business remains
virtually stanstill at the time of this writing. Besides, more than
70% parliamentarians, with the criminal records (see The
Economist, July 15, 1995) have no trust in each other, seeking
answers from the Chief, Council of Minister, the New Delhi
administration, Manmohan Sinh (a non-elected member of
parliament, but serving the agenda of his Madam Sonia Maino alias
Gandhi, the Congress and more so of the Brahmins-Hindus
political parties at large), of the Ghotalas or corruption at mass, is
mum and speechless, having no tongue to speak or appoint
committees or commissions after the committees or commissions.
He walks by the state-controlled news media without uttering a
word of their concerns or questions. My question here is how could
the Incorporation be a 'global power' where the chief of cabinet is a
‘non-elected’ person and has not been elected by the electorates
from any corner the global power, so-to-speak. I have been asking
questions whether there has been a head of state, prime minister or
president, in any democratic country, who is a non-elected of any
democratically elected parliament or congress (i. e., the Congress
of the United States of America) in our world. As far as the author
is concerned, unless he is proven wrong, the head of a democratic
International Journal of Sikh Affairs 21(1), June 2011
institution has to be elected by his/her people. Neither in the history
of the U K, USA or any other democratic country, does there
appear to be any example in the history of these nations that their
chief of state institution was a non-elected person. As far as the
Chief, Council of Ministers, of the Incorporation is concerned, the
criminal (70%) or non-criminal elected people (MLAs or MPs), a
great majority of them are the Brahmins-Hindus (4% and11%), out
of a total population of 1.2 billion, have been abusing or even
raping the ‘institution of democracy’ of the Incorporation. Under
these circumstances, how could the U S and the international news
media make the Incorporation a 'global power'?
Indeed, the U S needs a friend in South Asia to do some work(?) or
look after its interests. I could agree with this notion, but the
Incorporation cannot be trusted for the political matters. The U S
desperately needs a so-called friend but it has not to be a 'global
power'. The U. S. had friend(s) but, unfortunately, has lost in the
global arena; especially in South Asia. How could the U S find a
friend now, when their own appointed person, as the President of
Afghanistan, Hameed Karzai, has failed to look after the interests
of those who appointed him? At the time of this writing, the US
knows perfectly well that (i) it has remained unsuccessful to
suppress the Afghans, the people remain to be undefeatable in the
history of South Asia, and (ii) the U S knows, even its policy
makers advised the administration to “Break up the Afghanistan’s
neighbor, Pakistan,” from the world map (see National
Post 11th September, 2010, FP 21; J Sikh Affairs 20(2), 2010 ISSN
1481-5435), a highly ill-advised proposition; and (iii) remotely to
call a person known as 10 – 25% of Pakistan to Washington, DC,
highly hated by the people/Awam of Pakistan,. The latter option is
not worth considering, or worth the paper to write on it, because
whenever this person visits the U S, will ask bluntly, what is for me
(to the U S administration) in the author’s opinion? He has nothing
to offer to his people, but certainly he would like to have for
himself. It is not that the Islamic Republic of Pakistan lacks sincere
and highly competent politicians, diplomats, political scientists, and
other professionals who will, once again, take their country to play
the game in the ‘World Arena of Politics’; even much better than
the hopeless and highly corrupt foreign and civil personnel of the
Incorporation (Brahmins-Hindus).
The global problems have been created by the Incorporation (a
country of more than 50-70% of hungry mouths and more than
70% of its people do not even have toilet facilities and roof on their
heads), the dismemberment of Pakistan in 1971, for the
introduction of democracy in Afghanistan, problems in the middle-
east, etc. Rather than working against the will of the people, it
would have been worthwhile to work with the people of some
country(ies) and their honest administration to help them, assure
them a nice living status, provide shelters, education, health, etc.
11
The Incorporation cannot provide and unable to provide these
amenities since it became sovereign only on August 15th, 1947,
following being ‘subservient’ for more than 3,500 years. Since
August 15th, 1947, the Incorporation has been committing gross
human rights violations. For example:
1. It has killed more than 3.2 to 3.4 million Sikhs since August 15th,
1947. Besides, it waged an ‘undeclared’ war in the form of a brutal
military “Operation Bluestar” of June, 1984 (The Sikhs:
Sovereignty To Slavery 2010 ISBN 0-978-0-9811360-8-0). This
undeclared war took a toll of no less than 2-million innocent Sikhs
and more than 30,000 military personnel of the Incorporation, when
it waged the undeclared war on the Sikhs’ holy, religious and
historic places like the Darbar Sahib Complex, Amritsar, along
with the Supreme Seat of Sikh Polity, Akal Takht Sahib, and every
Gurdwara in the ‘Landless Sikh Nation, PUNJAB, Khalistan (under
the occupation of the Incorporation and its blessed State
administration since August 15th, 1947).
2. The Incorporation made the ‘Landless Sikh Nation, PUNJAB, as
a ‘CONCENTRATION CAMP’ in the days of “Operation Bluestar
of June, 1984.” There have been more than 8000 to 55,000 Sikhs
kept in the high security jails, without trials and cases registered
against them, in the Landless Sikh Nation, PUNJAB or outside.
3. More than 500,000 Muslims have been killed by the
Incorporation. The reason, every Sikh, Muslim, and non-Brahmin-
Hindu is the enemy of the Incorporation (Brahmins-Hindus).
4. More than 12,000 Assamese, 7-sister of Assam, Manipuris, etc.,
have been exterminated by the military personnel of the
Incorporation.
5. Tens of thousand of Dalits have been eliminated by the armed
personnel of the Incorporation.
When such genocide (educational, social, political, religious, etc.)
have been carried out by the Incorporation, how could the United
States, U K, France, China and Russia could grant a permanent seat
to the Incorporation, regardless what sort of the political
environment prevail in the Security Council of the United Nation?
Further, merely ‘trade relations’ are not a criterion to overlook the
‘Gross Human Rights’ committed by the Incorporation. In fact,
finding a permanent peace is far more important than any
bilateral/multilateral trade relations or making a country (of hungry
mouths) the ‘global power’, so to speak. Any country which wants
to be a champion of peace has to work for the betterment of
humanity. Thank you.

OPEN LETTER:
DR SEKHON WRITES TO THE HON BEN KI-MOON, SECRETARY GENERAL, UNITED
NATIONS ORGANIZATION
Hon Ben Ki-Moon
Secretary General
United Nations
NEW YORK, N Y
USA
19th December 2010
The Honorable Secretary General
United Nations Organization (UNO)
I am writing this 'Open Letter' in response to your statement
entitled "
India taking necessary measures to protect human rights: Ban Ki-
moon, appeared in The Economic Times - "an hour ago", as stated
by Mr S J Singh Rana <sjsrana@yahoo.com> in the mail received
on December 18th, 2010 at 22:51 hrs.
Sir Ki-Moon, taking a great notice of the statement prepared for
you by some of your assistant(s), it seems that "India is enjoying
unnecessary advantage of your statement, as the writer perceives
it." India did not exist as a sovereign nation until August 14th,
1947. It existed first as the 'British Trade Company and later as the
British India Empire™ up until the British ruler granted their slaves
independence to predominantly, divisive, apartheid practicing
groups of the Hindu-Brahmins. The unelected 'Brahmins-Hindus'
clique of these people was handed over the political power, on a
platter, on August 15th, 1947. Then it became the 'Brahmins-
Hindus' alleged Indian state, hereafter called the 'Incorporation',
which did not include 'The Sikh Raj or Sikh Nation, PUNJAB, the
first 'Sovereign and Secular nation' of a Sikh Monarch Ranjit
Singh, 1799 to March 14th, 1849 of South Asia (The Sikhs:
Sovereignty To Slavery by Dr. Awatar Singh Sekhon ISBN 0-978-
0-9811360, August 2010, a publication of The Sikh Educational
Trust; International Journal of Sikh Affair 20(2), November Issue,
2010 ISSN 1481-5435. The Sikhs of the sovereign Sikh nation,
Punjab, became an "annexed" territory of the British Empire, and it
must be noted that the Sikhs of their Sikh Nation, Punjab, (now
stands as the Sikh Raj. It must be noted that PUNJAB under the
occupation of the Incorporation, since August 15th, 1947 and
Punjab of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, since August 14th,
1947) were never part of the 'British India Empire'. The Empire
which ruled more than 500 Muslims/Mughal and Hindu kingdoms,
as against the "annexed, but not amalgamated" Sikh Nation,
Punjab, had been under the administration of the British Empire
(from England), for the administrative purpose only. Further, none
of the 500 kingdoms ruled by the British India Empire had been
'sovereign and secular', as these Hindu kingdoms were
"subservient" to the Afghans, Sikhs, Mughals, British, Portuguese,
etc., for more than 3,500 years.
After being "subservient™ for more than 3,500 years (see above)
and becoming a sovereign state in the world history only on August
15th, 1947 the apartheid practicing, divisive and deceitful
˜Brahmins-Hindus" swallowed the basic human rights of the Sikhs,
the 5th largest religion of the world (25 Years After 1984 Assault
on Durbar Sahib Laying the Foundation of Khalistan (ed) Dr.
Awatar Singh Sekhon ISBN0-9548929-4-1, June 2009, a
publication of the London Institute of South Asia www.lisauk.com.
With regard to your statement, India taking necessary measures to
12
protect human rights, I would precisely like to say the following in
order to rectify the historical facts of the Incorporation's history,
which is being distorted by the "Brahmins-Hindus" masters, since
August 15th, 1947 the day the "subservient" unfortunately became
the masters of the Incorporation:
The Sikh Nation, PUNJAB, of the first "sovereign and secular
nation of South Asiaâ" was "swallowed" as a nation, "annexed" to
the British Empire, by the Brahmins-Hindus-traders", "robbed" the
Sikhs, and made them their slaves right after the independence of
the Brahmins-Hindus" of the Incorporation.
Seven-weeks after the independence of the Incorporation, the Sikhs
were declared a law-less community and dangerous to the law-
abiding, deceitful Brahmins-Hindus", and were to be dealt with
firmness.
The Sikh Nation, PUNJAB (under the occupation of the
Incorporation since August 15th, 1947) "rejected" the
Incorporation's Indian Constitution 1950, in its draft and final
forms, in 1948, November 26th, 1949, 1950 and the September 6th,
1966 in the Incorporation's parliament, called Lok Sabha, by the
Sikh Nation, Punjab's elected Sikh representatives, because the
Sikh religion was "swallowed" by the Brahmins-Hindus™ maters
of the Incorporation. The Sikhs were called the ˜long-haired"
Hindus. The latter, i. e., the Hindus-Brahmins, are neither a
"religion nor a culture", according to numerous Hindu, academics,
JL Nehru (the first prime minister of the Incorporation), and the
Sikh academics, Dr. Sukhpreet Singh Udhoke, Dr. Harjinder Singh
Dilgeer, Sirdar Gurtej Singh, Professor of Sikhism, along with Sir
VT Rajshekar, Editor in Chief, Dalit Voice. The Sikhs' elected
representatives who "rejected" the Incorporation's Constitution, in
draft and final forms, were Sardar Hukam Singh, Sardar Bhupinder
Singh Maan and Sirdar Kapur Singh, ICS, MP, MLA and the
National Professor of Sikhism; these all three were the Sikh
members of parliament and walked out, in protest, for the
"Betrayals of the Brahmins-Hindus" of the Hindus' Congress party.
When the Sikh nation, PUNJAB, is under the "occupation of the
masters of the Incorporation', their religion“ the Sikh religion“ has
been swallowed, Sikhs have no constitutional rights", then under
what rule of the Incorporation's law, have the Sikhs been kept as
"slaves and prisoners” by the Incorporation, Sir Ben Ki-moon?
Besides, the Sikhs’ religious and political institution, i. e., the
Darbar Sahib Complex (mistakenly called the Golden Temple
Complex), Amritsar (what it used to be the No. 1 Trading Centre
during the "annexation" period of the British Empire, the Sikhs'
Supreme Seat of Polity and Gurdwaras are heavily infiltrated by the
Incorporation's intelligence services, e. g., Intelligence Bureau,
Central Intelligence Department, Research and Analysis Wing,
police personnel, etc. These institutions are all under the "Tight
Control" of the Incorporation.
Further, when the Sikhs have no "Constitution rights" in the
Incorporation, then why do the Sikhs living outside the
Incorporation need "Incorporation's Visa" to visit their holy and
historic Homeland, The Sikh nation, PUNJAB?
Since August 15th, 1947 the Incorporation alias the Brahmins-
Hindus’ India, is the largest democracy of our world, as termed by
the stalwarts of the democratic institution and their news media
(print, air and television) has killed the Sikhs, Muslims, Dalits,
Tamils, Assamese, 7-sister of Assam, Adivaasis or Moolnivasis,
International Journal of Sikh Affairs 21(1), June 2011
Biharis, people of Orrisa state, citizens of the Internationally
Disputed Areas of Jammu and Kashmir (IDAJK), etc., in several
genocide, fake encounters, pogroms, together with rape,
persecution, torture, never seen in the history of mankind:
The Sikhs: 3.2 to 3.4 million; Muslims, more than 500,000;
Muslims of the IDAJK, more than 120,000, since 1988 (statistics
may be confirmed from the Secretary General of the Kashmiri
Diaspora yousafzai49@gmail.com; Christians, more than 312,500;
Tamils, more than 12,000; Assamese and their 7-sister of Assam,
more than 15,000; Dalits, tens of thousand (please confirm from
www.dalitvoice.com and or Sir VT Rajshekar); Moolnivasis and/or
Adivaasis, tens of thousand, etc.
NOTE: All these statistics have been provided, in several
Memoranda, to the High Commissioner, Human Rights Council,
Palace des Nations, Geneva, Switzerland, since 1999.
In 1984, the Incorporation waged an "undeclared war" on the Sikh
Nation, PUNJAB (under the occupation of the Incorporation), in
the form of a brutal military "Operation Bluestar" of June 1984,
on the citizens of the Sikh Nation, killed more than 250,000
innocent Sikhs (infants, children, male and female folks, elderly),
to "exterminate" the Sikhs, who have no "Constitutional and human
rights", since August 15th, 1947.
There have been more than 10,000 Sikh prisoners in the high
Security jails, without charges and trials since the days of an
"undeclared war" on the Sikh Nation, PUNJAB. During the times
of the "udeclared war" on the Sikh Nation, Punjab, the Sikh Nation
had been like a "CONCENTRATION CAMP" in open air in every
village of the Sikh nation, PUNJAB, with no hygienic facilities and

India’s subversive activities in Pakistan using Afghan soil
Asif Haroon Raja*
PM (Prime Minister) Gilani accompanied by Gen Kayani visited
Kabul at a time when a visible thaw has occurred in Pak-Afghan
relations. Karzai has repeatedly expressed his keenness to remove
misgivings and to establish friendly ties with Pakistan since dawn of
2010. He wants Pakistan to play its role in finding an amicable
solution to Afghan problem. While agreeing to establish tension-free
cordial ties, the visitors gave proofs of Afghan and Indian subversive
activities in Balochistan. The hosts were pressed to give an
undertaking that in future the Afghan government would not allow
Indian interference in Balochistan or any other part of Pakistan.
Presence of certain undesirable elements in Afghanistan since the
establishment of Northern Alliance heavy regime of Hamid Karzai
has been the cause of sour relations between the two neighbors.
Afghanistan-Pakistan constructive dialogue is possible only after
Afghan rulers make a solemn pledge that it would not allow Afghan
soil to be used by India for launching covert operations
againstPakistan.
While Pakistan has always vied to maintain cordial and tension free
relations with Afghanistan and has never tried to exploit its land lock
handicap, successive regimes in Kabul have traditionally treaded
hostile path towards Pakistan and have remained inclined towards
India. Pakistan's softness towards Afghanistan has stemmed from
commonality of religion and centuries old cultural ties. It was only
13
other amenities.
Sir Ben Ki-moon, you are requested to assess the situation of Sikhs
and the situation of the non-Sikh and non-Brahmins-Hindus people,
called "minorities" and accepted by the office holders like yourself,
Sir. The masters of the Incorporation have been misleading you,
Sir. For example, the Incorporation lump the Dalits in non-
Brahmins-Hindus. The fact remains that out of a total population of
over 1.2 billion hungry mouths, the Dalits are no less than 60-65%.
Is the Incorporation not lying and/or misleading?
According to certain cyber group and/or readership, would the UN
listen to the cries on HUMAN RIGHTS of innocent people and
stop appeasing elite nations with their anti-human-rights agenda to
suppress right
to PEACE/JUSTICE/TRUTH/LIBERTY/DETERMINATION?
With best wishes and warmest regards.

ENCLOSURES:
India taking necessary measures to protect human rights: Ban Ki-
moon
Economic Times - UNITED NATIONS: India is taking necessary
measures to ensure stability, prevent violence and protect human
rights in Kashmir , UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has said.
What is the proof and credibility of releasing below
statements, good for books/news only, when they can't assert in
practice e.g. 'ZERO CONVICTED FOR Nov.1984. GENOCIDE'
of Kashmir Killings or Gujarat Massacre?
during the Taliban rule that Pak-Afghan relations were friendly and
Indian influence had waned.
Afghanistan is currently in deep trouble since it is an occupied country
and ruled by a puppet regime installed by USA. Resistance forces are
engaged in Jihad against occupation forces duly supplemented by US
trained Afghan National Army which is non-Pashtun heavy. Unlike in
1980s when Pakistan was supporting Afghan Mujahideen to push out
occupying Soviet forces, this time Pakistan stands on the side of
occupiers and is acting as the conduit to provide logistic support to
152,000 strong ISAF in Afghanistan.
Pakistan position is very dicey since non-Pashtun Afghans have a
grudge against Pakistan for having helped Taliban in capturing power
in 1996. The Taliban are resentful that Pakistan had ditched them in
their hour of crisis and sided with their enemies. The current regime
friendly to India strongly suspect that Pakistan is assisting Taliban and
hence is hostile to Pakistan. The US-NATO have its own set of
grievances against Pakistan because of which it treats Pakistan less as
an ally and more as an enemy country. Pakistan is up against massive
covert war launched by its adversaries having common objectives
againstPakistan. India having no role in war on terror is having the
best of everything at the cost of Pakistan.
Faced with multiple challenges, Pakistan is still trying to maintain
International Journal of Sikh Affairs 21(1), June 2011
friendly ties with USA, Afghanistan and India. Since Afghanistan is
faced with multiple challenges, Pakistan doesn't want to add to its
woes and is keen to help solve Afghan imbroglio. Stable, friendly and
peaceful Afghanistan is in the overall interest of Pakistan. Despite its
friendly overtures, Afghan government in the tight grip of USA and
India is creating extreme problems for the national security and
internal stability of Pakistan. The Indian Embassy in Kabul and string
of Pakistan specific Indian consulates are involved in training and
launching of terrorists and saboteurs into Pakistan.
India desires that Pakistan should open its land route through Wagah
border to Afghanistan for two-way trade so that it could flood
Afghanistan's markets with Indian goods and thus in the name of
reconstruction grab Afghan market and resources. The Indians know
that they can reach the coveted riches of Central Asia only through the
land route passing through Pakistan and Afghanistan since air
business is unfeasible. India has been making strenuous efforts to
expand its influence in Afghanistan since 2002. Governed by this
strategy, it has been siding with Karzai and now when India has
established itself firmly in Afghanistan, it has become that much easy
for it to carryout subversive activities against Pakistan, particularly
when it enjoys complete blessing of USA. The latter has helped India
in gaining a foothold in Afghanistan and gradually expanding it.
It is unfortunate that today very few recall the huge sacrifices made by
Pakistan in the 1980s when Afghanistan had been forcibly occupied
by Soviet forces and none had come forward to contest Soviet
aggression. Had Pakistan under Gen Ziaul Haq not put Pakistan's
security at stake and not stood up to Soviet challenge and not given full
support to the Mujahideen, Afghanistan would have become a
satellite of Soviet Union dancing to the tunes of Moscow. The latter
had embarked upon massive Sovietization program to shatter
Afghan's Islamic identity, culture, customs, traditions and historical
heritage.
Who doesn't know the pathetic fate of Muslim Central Asian states
which were brutally traumatized and their rich culture and identity
demolished by Russia? But for Pakistan's role, history of the globe
would have been different since Soviet Union would not have

fragmented. It was because of Pakistan's principled stand that it had to
inherit innumerable problems from which it is suffering to this day. In
1980s,Pakistan faced the brunt of KGB-KHAD-RAW-AlZulfiqar
sabotage and subversion for over a decade. Now it is facing CIA-
RAW-RAAM-Mossad-MI6 covert war as well as drone war since
2004.
It is an undeniable fact that Karzai regime has offered Afghan soil to
anti-Pakistan intelligence agencies to indulge in cross border
terrorism against Pakistan. The saboteurs, arms, ammunition,
explosives and funds are all being funneled into Pakistan from
Afghanistan to aid anti-Pakistan forces in Balochistan and FATA,
which are fighting security forces and indulging in acts of terrorism.
This inflow is not possible without the active collusion of Afghan
government. How is it possible to barge into someone else's house
through your house without your permission?
The security situation of Pakistan has aggravated to such an alarming
extent that it is no more possible to tolerate Afghanistan's collusion in
subversive activities in Pakistan. The people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
and Balochistan who have suffered the most on account of cross
border terrorism from Afghanistan are writhing in agony. They are
blaming provincial governments for failing to provide them security
and for their docility towards adversaries of Pakistan. Their pent up
anger has reached a boiling point which may spin out of control
anytime.
It has been seen that despite all our goodwill and cooperative gestures,
Karzai regime has continued to maintain a hypocritical attitude
because of which our efforts have proved fruitless. It is high time that
our rulers should come out of their mode of one-sided appeasement
and convey firmly to Karzai regime to stop allowing Afghan soil as a
launching pad for India to harm Pakistan. We should also review our
Afghan policy without further loss of time. If we continue with our
policy of ignoring unconcealed foreign interference particularly in
Balochistan, it would embolden Indians to continue with their dual
policy of extending a hand of friendship as well as stabbing us in the
back.

THE SIKH LEADER (Religious and Political) OF THE 20th CENTURY:
SHAHEED-BILAS SAINT-SOLDIER JARNAIL SINGH KHALSA (BHINDRANWALE),
February 12th, 1947 –June 6th,1984
Awatar Singh Sekhon
Shaheed-Bilas Saint-soldier Jarnail Singh Khalsa Bhindranwale
was the Sikh leader, religious and political, of the 20th century and
the man of vision for the Guru Khalsa Panth, House of Baba
Nanak, the people of Punjab, the ‘Landless Sikh Nation’, (under the
occupation of Brahmin-Hindus ‘Institution’ of the alleged Indian
democracy. Hereafter called the ‘Democracy of Propaganda and
Hatred’ alias the alleged Indian democracy or the ‘Institution’ since
August 15th, 1947). The Hindus-Brahmins are neither a religion
nor a culture. Mrs. Manju Qureshi, Chairperson, Women’s Human
Rights Organization of Punjab, paid her rich tributes to Sant-Bilas
which no Sikh or non-Sikh writer has been able to do that. After the
completion of Saint-soldier’s mission of the ‘Struggle for Justice
and restoration of the law and order’ for the citizens of Punjab, the
Sikhs’ holy and historic homeland, Mrs. Qureshi wrote following
the martyrdom of her beloved leader Jarnail Singh Khalsa that ‘I
have no shoulder now where I could put my head to cry or who
could console and listen me’. These were the sentiments of a lady
of the non-Sikh faith. The Sikh Nation will always be grateful to
the non-Sikhs like Mrs. Qureshi, Bibi Mumtaz, Pir Budhoo Shah,
his Sahibzade and over 400 Mureeds, Gani Khan, Nabi Khan,
Punjaba, Gulaba, Nawab of Malerkotla family, Sain Mian Mir and
alike. Although the (stupid) Research and Analysis Wing (RAW)
of Brahmin autocracy involved in committing the international
criminal activities, hijacking of India’s national and international
civilian aircrafts (Air India Flight 182, Toronto-Mobtreal-London-
Delhi/Bombay in the early morning hours of off the western coast
of Ireland on June 23rd, 1985 and planning a foiled plan of
‘exploding Air India aircraft in 1994 in some European country
(Hon Kilgour D 1994 Betrayal: The Spy Canada Abandoned).
Along with the propaganda machinery of the Brahmin-Hindus
alleged Institution of democracy, has been busy is propagating
rumors against Shaheed-Bilas Jarnail Singh Khalsa through its
master’s (Indira Gandhi alias Maimuna Begum’s administration’s),
foreign missions, state-controlled news media (Air waves, TV,
news print of the ‘Institution’), hired hands, and producing the
state-sponsored books to malign the character and personality of
the Shaheed-Bilas, written by the pseudo-authors like KP Gill (the
retired Butcher police officer of Punjab) and a criminal AB
Vajpayee’s advisor to the Narendra Modi of the Gujarat
administration in the ‘Genocide of Muslims’ in 2002-2003; which
killed more than 15,000 Muslims of Gujarat), K Brar, J Reibero,
and others. None has succeeded to accomplish his/her task or the
aims of the Brahmin-Hindus’ Institution. The pseudo-writers of the
‘Institution’ have propagated more lies. Despite all these the
character of Shaheed-Bilas Jarnail Singh Khalsa emerges more
brilliantly. The only reason is that the RAW, its masters, Brahmin-
Hindus autocracy’s foreign missions and pseudo-authors spend
their time in covering up their own ‘fabricated lies’; whereas, the
truth of the Mission for the Struggle of Justice cannot be
suppressed by the Brahmin autocracy alias the alleged ‘Institution’
as the writer perceives it.
One of the segments of the ‘Mission for Struggle for Justice of
Shaheed-Bilas’ needs to be brought in the public domain, although
the information that this writer is going to describe is already in
print, but it has either been overlooked, seldom discussed or seen in
15
print. The information that this writer is going to present is of an
‘undeclared’ war waged on the ‘Landless Sikh Nation, Punjab’, in
the form of a brutal armed ‘‘Operation Bluestar’’ of June, 1984 era.
Late Sardar Gurnam Singh Tir, an advocate and one of the legal
advisors to Shaheed-Bilas Jarnail Singh Khalsa Bhindranwale
wrote (in Punjabi/Gurmukhi script) appeared in the Indo-Canadian
Times published from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, under
the editorship of Tara Singh Hayer in 1980s. It was related to
Shaheed-Bilas Jarnail Singh’s conversation with advocate Tir.
In December 1983, before “Operation Bluestar” of June 1984
commenced, when Jarnail Singh Khalsa and his supporters shifted
from the Guru Nanak Niwas to Akal Takht Sahib. Sardar Tir wrote
that ‘he had not seen the Shaheed-Bilas for sometime and he was
eager to see him after reaching Amritsar. He left his family at his
wife’s sister’s (sister in law’s) residence around 21:00 hrs, and
went to Darbar Sahib Complex. There he first paid his respect to
Guru Granth Sahib in the Darbar Sahib and then proceeded to see
the Shaheed-Bilas. The latter had been walking in a Veranda, but
appeared somewhat serious. The moment Shaheed-Bilas saw Tir ji,
he exchanged with him the Sikh greetings. The Shaheed-Bilas
asked him, where have you been Tir ji? I have been looking
forward to your visit. Tir ji replied that I have just arrived in the
city, left my family at my sister-in-law’s residence, and then
proceeded to the Darbar Sahib to see you and enquire about your
wellbeing. The Shaheed-Bilas asked how are the things outside?
Tir replied that first you tell me how are things with you and what
is going on, as you read the ‘state-controlled’ newspapers and other
news media? Tir said that there are two main points of your
interest. The Shaheed-Bilas listened Tir attentively. Tir said: first of
all, people talk about your moving to Akal Takht Sahib, which the
media say that you should not have moved to the Akal Takht Sahib.
Second, there appears there is some ‘rift’ between you and Sant
Harchand Singh Longowal when you address him as the ‘Dictator
(of the Morcha or agitation) for the Sikhs’ demands of Justice and
restoration of law and order’, as it reflects some rift between both
of you. Shaheed-Bilas asked Tir what would you like to propose?
Tir said that here is my suggestions to you: I will never use this
word ‘Dictator’ for Harchand Singh Longowal. Now, coming to
your first concern, I had been left with no option but to leave the
Guru Nanak Niwas. This was merely for the respect of the Guru
Khalsa Panth (Dastaar-di-rakhia vaaste). What Shaheed-Bilas
meant was, as the writer thinks affirmatively, there were anti-Sikh,
pro-RAW, RAW, pro-New Delhi administration’s (NDA) agents
and other elements present, which were eagerly looking forward to
a clash between the RAW, its hired hands, pro-NDA forces and the
Shaheed-Bilas and his supporters. The Shaheed-Bilas avoided this
clash amicably and the news headline in the next day’s newspapers
brought great disappointment to the anti-Sikh, anti-Darbar Sahib
and anti-Sikh Way of Life forces. Tir asked the Shaheed-Bilas:
what is next? Shaheed-Bilas replied that it is all up to the father (of
the Guru Khalsa Panth), Guru Gobind Singh ji and the Akal Purakh
Waheguru ji. However, let me make it clear to you, Tir Sahib: the
date for the ‘Indian army’s assault has been set and that is going to
happen whether I am sitting here, within the premises of Darbar
Sahib Complex, more than 250 miles away from the Darbar Sahib
International Journal of Sikh Affairs 21(1), June 2011
Complex, or in Madhya Pradesh, or any place outside Punjab.
India’s Brahmins-Hindus administration is all set to attack the
Darbar Sahib Complex and is all out to destroy it. My presence at
the Akal Takht Sahib is only the ‘excuse’ for the NDA to wipe out
the Sikhs. Sardar Gurnam Singh Tir writes that ‘how true were the
words/calculations of the Shaheed-Bilas Sant Jarnail Singh Khalsa
Bhindranwale’! Shaheed-Bilas had every knowledge of the move
of the deceitful Indian administration of Indira Gandhi alias
Maimuna Begum, who had signed the papers of assault on the
Sikhs’ holy and historic Homeland, Punjab in January 1984. Not
only that she had assigned the job to make the Sikhs ‘terrorists’ to
one of his former federal bureaucrat, MS (Mani Shanker) Iyer,
according to Iyer himself (Sikh Bulletin, October-November 2006,
p. 11). He had foretold the dates of the army assault on the Darbar
Sahib Complex. The assault happened exactly on the same dates,
with the exception that the ‘Indian Captain’ of the ship and his
troops had to be changed, as they abandoned the ship. This change
delayed the real assault by 24-48 hours.
Shaheed-Bilas had a committee of ‘advisors’ on military matters,
which consisted of the retired generals, commissioned, junior-
commissioned and other military personnel’ as well as on the legal
matters. Shaheed Major-Gen Shubeg Singh was no fool. He knew
perfectly well what the Government of India is all up to as far as
the Sikhs are concerned. Besides the staunch and committed
supporters, Shaheed-Bilas Jarnail Singh Khalsa Bhindranwale had
everything at his finger tips. His supporters of the Guru Khalsa
Panth taught a lesson to the Brahmin-Hindus autocracy’s armed
forces (army, air force, navy, paramilitary forces, intelligence
personnel, etc.) that the Sikhs are not dead yet. They are alive and
will struggle to their last breath and drop of blood to ‘Save the
honor of the Guru Khalsa Panth’. One Shaheed-Bilas has been
martyred, there will be hundreds of thousands more to ‘Regain The
Lost Sovereignty, Independence and Political Power of the Sikh
Nation, by Peaceful Means’, although the sovereignty of the Guru
Khalsa Panth was not his agenda as propagated by the Indira
Gandhi alias Maimuna Begum’s administration. The Struggle for
Sikhs’ sovereignty has been continuing since March 14th, 1849.
The propaganda mechanics and the NDA (a mentally, morally and
ethically bankrupt administration), its foreign missions, including
(JL Nehru to Manmohan Sinh, March 14th, 1947 to this day of
writing) is being carried out without any interruption. The Sikhs
have nothing to do with the NDA’S anti-humanity policies.

The Martyrdom of Shaheed Bilas Jarnail Singh Khalsa
(Bhindranwale) has inducted far more strength in the on-going
“Sikhs’ Struggle for Sovereignty, Independence and political
power, by democratic and peaceful means, since March 14th,
1849.” The Guru Khalsa Panth, the ‘Landless Sikh Nation’,
Khalistan, Punjab (under the occupation of the Sikhs’ enemy, the
alleged Indian democracy, since August 15th, 1947) knows its
enemy perfectly well.
We, the Sikhs, also know that Harchand Longowal, Gurcharan
Tohra, Jaswant Bhullar, Didar Bains of the USA, Professor M S
Sidhu, Balwant Singh (Longowal’s Secretary), Prabhu Dayal Singh
alias PD Singh, Prakash (Darkness/Hanera) Sinh Badal, the present
Chief Minister of Punjab, Jagjit Chohan (deceased), Harpal S
Ghuman alias Harjinder Pal Singh Nagra, etc., have been
‘Collaborating’ with the RAW and its Director, RN Kao, against
the leadership of Shaheed-Bilas Saint-soldier Jarnail Singh Khalsa,
the Sikhs’ man, religious and political leader of the 20th century.
The Sikhs will always remember Shaheed-Bilas’ Saint-soldier
Jarnail Singh Khalsa’s words “Physical death I do not fear, death of
conscience is sure a death.”

Further Comments:
An ‘undeclared’ war waged in the form of “Operation Bluestar” of
June, 1984, on the ‘Landless Sikh Nation, PUNJAB, is indicative
of the Brahmins-Hindus NDA’s (New Delhi administration)
policies that the NDA would like to ‘swallow’ the Sikhs, as it has
been trying unsuccessfully to convert them into the Hindus and
their –ism.
The Sikhs, if they would like to survive and stop the erosion of the
‘Brahaminisn cum Hindus and their –ism, they have no choice but
to stand up, democratically, under an honest leader for the
“Sovereignty of their Sikh Nation.”
There is no point to raise the slogan of ‘Khalistan Zindabad’ until
you (the Sikhs) are sincere like Sant-Bilas Jarnail Singh Khalsa.
The so-called leaders, if they are the leaders at all, ‘stop’
misleading the Sikh masses. Have some mercy on the Guru Khalsa
Panth, the ‘Landless Sikh Nation’, Punjab, and make your place on
the world map, as the ‘Republic of Khalistan’.
It is your (Sikhs) choice whether you like the “Sovereignty of the
Sikh Nation” or the slavery or ‘subservient’ of the Brahmins-
Hindus “Incorporation” against the teachings of the Sikh Guru
Sahibaans (Guru Nanak Sahib to Guru Gobind Singh Sahib ji, and
thereafter the Guru Granth Sahib ji).

We, the Sikhs of Switzerland, European countries and North
America, would like to apprise you, your Excellency, of human
rights abuses of the Sikhs and other non-Hindu minorities in India
which have taken place since 15th August, 1947. This was the day
when the British India authorities transferred political power to the
‘unelected’ Hindu leadership and left the non-Hindu minorities,
especially the Sikhs, at the mercy of the majority, the Hindus. Since
receiving political power from the British Empire, despite the
protest of the Sikhs at large and their leadership for not returning
their first sovereign and independent Sikh Raj of South Asia, of
their forefathers and monarch, Ranjit Singh (1799-1849). The
predominantly Hindu India has exterminated more than 1.4 to 2.3
million Sikhs, more than one million in the decade of 1981-91

“Sikh activists Kanwarpal Singh Dhami and Dr. Jagjit Singh

on charges of sedition. Their crime was to speak in support of a
sovereign Sikh Nation, Khalistan . Dr. Chohan also flur the
Khalistan’s flag from his residence. When did free speech become
a crime in a democracy? The Sikh homeland of Khalistan declared
itself independent from India on October 7, 1987.” On 21st March,
2006, in a press release, Dr Gurmit Singh Aulakh, President of the
Council of Khalistan, Washington DC, said, “What kind of
democracy watches people for demanding freedom? Why don't
they watch the Black Cats who have killed thousands of Sikhs
under the protection of the Indian government?''
We would like to bring to your notice that the Sikh Nation, Punjab,
the 'First Sovereign and Secular' nation of South Asia of monarch
Ranjit Singh, 1799 to 14th March, 1849, was 'robbed' by the
alleged Indian democracy on 15th August, 1947. The Sikhs'
constitutional rights, Sikh religion and Sikh traditions
were 'swallowed' in the Indian Constitution 1950, Article 25. The
very Constitution 1950 was 'rejected', in the Indian parliament (Lok
Sabha), in its draft and final forms, in 1948, 26 November 1949,
1950 and more recently on 6th September 1966. The Sikhs' elected
representatives who 'rejected' the Constitution, on behalf of their
International Journal of Sikh Affairs 21(1), June 2011
people or constituents of Punjab, were Sardar Hukam Singh, Sardar
Bhupinder Singh Maan and Sirdar Kapur Singh, ICS, MP, MLA
and the National Professor of Sikhism. Since their 'rejection of the
Indian Constitution 1950', none of the Sikhs' elected representatives
has accepted/endorsed/signed the Indian Constitution implemented
by the deceitful, divisive, devious and apartheid practicing alleged
Indian democracy of the 'Brahmins-Hindus'. It must be considered
seriously that under what Constitutional rights, the apartheid
practicing alleged Indian democracy has been ruling the 'Sikhs of
Punjab (including Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Punjabi-
speaking areas of Punjab/Sikh Nation/the Sikh Raj of Ranjit Singh)
since 15th August, 1947? The Sikhs of Punjab's story does not end
here. Rather it has been continuing, since the Sikh Nation has been
under the 'slavery and Tight Control' of the oppressive and
suppressive alleged Indian democracy of the 'Brahmins-Hindus',
who had been 'subservient' to the Afghans, Mughals, Sikhs, British,
Portuguese, etc., for more than 3,500 years.
Additionally, the excesses of the Indian forces can be summarized
as follows:
On 5th November, 1978, the Hindu India police of Delhi fired at a
Sikh procession and killed four Sikhs, including the president of the
Delhi Akali Party [Sekhon AS and Dilgeer HS 1999, 2006 A White
Paper On Khalistan (A True Story) The Sikh Nation (ed) A T Kerr
ISBN 0-9695964-8-0]. Acting Mukh-Sewadar, or Chief of Akal
Takht Sahib, the Supreme Seat of the Sikh Polity, Amritsar, Singh
Sahib Bhai Gurdev Singh Kaunke, was abducted on 20th December
1993, tortured, killed and his body dumped in a canal on 3rd
January 1994.
On October 27, 1995, the Human Rights activist of the Akali Dal
(Badal), Sardar Jaswant Singh Khalra, was killed at the Chhabal
police station, Amritsar. His body was thrown into the Harike
Canal. A police officer, A. S. Sandhu (supposedly committed
suicide), abducted a Sikh religious leader, Charan Singh, tortured
him and was made to dispose of his body. Earlier, the same police
officer had abducted Charan Singh’s brother and his driver. The
latter was killed by tying his legs to two jeeps, which were driven
off in opposite directions.
A former Punjab administration headed by a corrupt Sikh, Prakash
Sinh Badal, attacked the Darbar Sahib Complex (mistakenly known
as the Golden Temple Complex) on 7th February, 1998, desecrated
its sanctity and deposed, using his state powers, the democratically
elected president of the Shiromani Gurdwara Prabhandhak
Committee. Shortly thereafter, Badal forcibly removed the Senior
Minister or Custodian of Akal Takht Sahib, the Supreme Seat of
the Sikh Polity, Bhai Ranjit Singh. The administration of Prakash
Sinh Badal, has spent more than 20 million rupees for legal fees to
protect the police officers who participated in the genocide of the
Sikhs. Voted, under the Constitution of India, which has
been ‘rejected by the Sikhs repeatedly’, out of the Punjab’s
administration, for his maneuvering, his collision (Badal and
associates’) with a Hindu militant and fundamentalist party, the
Brahtiya Janata Party (BJP), is back as the Chief of the Punjab
administration. Prakash Sinh Badal, is an agent of India’s Research
and Analysis Wing (RAW; Gurtej Singh 2000 Chakarvyuh: Web of
Indian Secularism ISBN 81-85815-14-3) and a staunch turbaned
Hindu in ‘The Sikh Identity’. Prakash Badal has kept his lips
‘sealed’ when the Punjab Legislative Assembly debated the
‘Freedom of Press, news media and the free speech recently
(www.rozanaspokesman.com, 8th-13th March, 2008). The freedom
of speech and expression, the fundamental human rights in any
democracy. This is the clear reflection of the democratic or
‘autocratic’ nature of Mr Badal.
His administration and police personnel are abusing the Indian
Penal Code Article 188, against Dr Sukhpreet Singh Udhoke of
Amritsar. These are a few examples of the democracy of the New
Delhi administration (NDA) blessed administration of Prakash
18
Badal and his Akalis with the BJP, in the Sikhs’ holy and historic
Homeland of Sikhs, Punjab.
On February 6, 2000, the death of a Dalit youth in police custody in
Morinda, Ludhiana, was horrifying. He was killed in cold blood
because he objected to police’s drinking session at a public place.
This incidence revived memories of the dark period in the history
of Punjab when countless innocent young men were killed in false
encounters, but police records turned them into ruthless terrorists.
A mother of six sons, Bibi Jaswant Kaur, lost her husband in 1987.
Three of her six sons succumbed to tuberculosis. The other three
were abducted and killed by Punjab police. One of the three sons,
Pragat Singh, 23-yrs-old, was arrested in 1987, kept in captivity for
14 months. After his release police raided his home on 9th
September 1988, and shot him dead. The eldest son, Jagir Singh,
25-yrs-old, working as a volunteer in a Taran Taran Gurdwara, was
taken by the police and did not return. The youngest son, Mohinder
Singh (20-yrs-old) was with the religious man, Baba Charan Singh
(see above). He was abducted by the police on 14th June 1991 and
died in police custody. Jaswant Kaur has tried all possible avenues
to get justice, but has had no luck (jkaurgrewal@yahoo.com;

Even outside India, Sikhs are continued to be harassed by the
Indian government and its allies, according to the Hon Edolphus
Towns, MC (Extensions of Remarks - February 27, 2001).
Miscreants stormed a church and ransacked the premises while a
spiritual meeting and prayers were in progress in Hyderabad, A P
(www.burningpunjab.com; 24th March, 2001).
A group of men killed their rape victim, a mother of seven, in the
village of Singana and then gouged out the eyes of two witnesses in
India's lawless eastern state of Bihar, the Press Trust of India
reported Thursday (February 8, 2001; AFP). The rapists then used
the woman's sickle to hack her to death. They then attacked four
labourers who witnessed the crime.
Since 1998, Christian missionaries including one from Australia
(Father Graham Stains), his 8- & 10-yr-old sons, and Roman
Catholic nuns, have been killed, burnt alive or raped by the Hindu
fundamentalists. The burning, destruction and demolishing of the
Houses of God of the non-Hindu minorities, the Sikh Gurdwaras,
Churches and Mosques, looting and desecrating of the holy and
historical places of the non-Hindu minorities are the modus
operandi of successive Indian administrations and state-sponsored
hoodlums (Hon John T Doolittle, MC India Coalition Partner
Threaten To Engulf Country In Violence, House of
Representatives, July 27, 2000, The US Congress; Hon Edolphus
Towns, MC July 27, 2000. Christian Persecution in India, House of
Representatives, The US Congress).
Militant Hindu hoodlums in Uttarpara, West Bengal, attacked a
train carrying Sikh pilgrims and the Sikh Holy scriptures, Guru
Granth Sahib, in June, 2001. The Hindu hoodlums stoned the Sikh
pilgrims, burned the Holy Scriptures, and tried to set fire to the
train (Press Release: Council of Khalistan. Train Attack Is Wake-
Up Call for Sikh Nation, June 27, 2001< cok@khalistan.com>). In
an affidavit filed on 28th August, 2000, by Mr Sartaj Singh,
resident of Kathua, Jammu and Kashmir (under the occupation of
Indian administration), Internationally Disputed areas by the United
Nations, stated that he was tortured and received painful
psychological harassment by the Indian police. The police
personnel wanted him to confess for the things, which he never did.
The police personnel also wanted him to tell the whereabouts of
Neeta alias Ranjit Singh, a freedom fighter, Harbhajan Singh, Gian
Singh and Joginder Singh, who are at large. The police personnel
wanted him to make a false confession that ‘we all know one
another’.
Miss Manorama of Manipur was gang raped by the men of the
Assam Rifles and was thrown out of the headquarters after
International Journal of Sikh Affairs 21(1), June 2011
mutilating her private parts in July, 2004. More recently (9th
February, 2005), a 12-year-old girl was allegedly raped by a
constable of the force in central Assam’s Karbi Anglong district,
triggering protests from women’s organizations. In a blatant
violation of human rights, the district police today tortured a Dalit
youth to death after he refused to accept his involvement in a theft
case (Jalandhar, February 6’ tibruneindia.com).
The World Kashmir Diaspora Alliance reports that "since the
Indian forces occupation, more than 195,000 innocent Kashmiris
have been killed; more than 110,000 have disappeared, and the
latter have been killed by the invader's troops or they have been
languishing in Indian jails with no information to their families. In
the last three months, the death toll the ongoing Kashmiri unrest is
96, as another youth Yasir Rafiq Sheikh, a cousin of Jammu and
Kashmir Liberation Front chief, Muhammad Yasin Malik,
succumbed to his injuries on late Wednesday night inflicted by the
Indian personnel and kept in a New Delhi hospital. Additionally, at
least 10 persons were injured by the alleged CRPF firing on
protesters in Sopur. For the last six days Kashmir is under curfew
round the clock (bangla-vision@yahoogroups.com, 18th
September, 2010)."
The above are only a few of the hundreds of thousands of cases we
would like to bring to your kind attention, your Excellency. We
hereby request you to dispatch a fact finding mission to India to
assess in depth the crimes committed against humanity by armed
and law-enforcing agencies in ‘uniforms’ and bring the criminals
before the International Court of Justice in the same way as the U N
has done to punish the criminals of the Rwanda and Serbia
massacres in 2000; S. Milosevic of Serbia in July 2001; the former
Serb police chief, Steven Todorovic, who pleaded guilty for
torturing, murdering and sexually assaulting Muslims and Croats
(National Post, 1st August, 2001, p A11); and Radislav Krstic for
the Srebrenica genocide of Muslims in 1995 (National Post, August
3, 2001, p A3). The UN tribunal has taken a landmark decision
recently to include “sex torture as a war crime” (National Post,
February, 23, 2001). Also, the UN Secretary-General (former), His
Excellency Kofi Annan’s interview (Time, 4th September, 2000)
will be welcomed by the justice-loving peoples of our civilized
world that “those who commit crimes and those who watch as
bystanders are equally responsible for the crime taking place.”
What we have brought to your attention, your Excellency, is just
the ‘tip of the iceberg’ of human rights abuses, religious
persecution(s), rapes, humiliation, dehumanization and crimes
committed by the state-sanctioned armed personnel of what our
civilized world terms as the “largest democracy” in the world,
India. A leading magazine has pointed out “India is ruled by
rascals.” “Many Indians silently witness their country’s unlawful
events. Several members of the ruling party’s youth wing have in
the past been charged with rapes and kidnapping. Officials respond
that all parties have their thugs. Politicians use thugs to capture
polling booths and stuff ballot boxes (The Economist, 15th July,
1995, p. 26).” According to the Hon Dana Rohrabacher, for the
Sikhs, Kashmiri Muslims, and other minorities “India might as well
be Nazi Germany” (Press Release: Council of Khalistan,
Washington DC; June 27, 2001 < khalistan@khalistan.com>).
Another Sikh, Devinder Pal Singh Bhullar, is about to be put to
death in India for a crime even India admitted he didn't commit
(Hon Edolphus Towns, MC. Proc House of Representatives,
Washington DC, 18th March, 2003).
Manmohan Singh, the present Chief, Council of Ministers and not
an elected ‘Member of Parliament’ of India, supposed to be an
honest and clean person delivered his state address before the
“World Conference on Human Rights Delegates in Vienna,
Austria, on 24th June (14 to 25th June), 1993. He, then Finance
Minister of the PV Rao administration, said that “ he being Sikh
finds no abuses of Human Rights of Sikhs much less any minorities
in India.” Another person. Shahabuddin, Manmohan Singh’s
19
colleague of the Islamic faith, said the same of Muslims of India.
Abuses of Human Rights in the Sikhs’ holy and historic Homeland,
Punjab, Khalistan (under the Brahmins-Hindus autocracy’s
occupation, have been taking place, since 15th August, 1947).
Manmohan Singh’s statement was ‘refuted’ in the strongest
possible words by the human rights and peace-loving citizens
(delegates) of North America and elsewhere.
Your Excellency, following the execution of “Operation Bluestar”
of June, 1984 (An undeclared war on the Sikh Nation, Punjab by
the Indian armed forces, according to Sekhon (2009 ISBN 0-
9548929-4-1), “Operation Bluestar, June 1984”. according to
reliable sources, every village of the Sikhs’ holy and historic
homeland, Punjab, was turned into “Concentration Camp.” ’ Open
air’ jails were established outside every village of Punjab. These
jails were covered by the barbed wires, in the heat of June – August
months, when the usual temperatures in Punjab are 47 C or more,
had been under the supervision of the Indian armed personnel, were
no less than the concentration camps of Adolf Hitler’s times in the
Nazi Germany. These ‘open air’ barbed wire concentration
camps/jails were used to prison the Sikhs indiscriminately
regardless or gender and age. Sanitary facilities were virtually not
existent. This reflects the treatment of Indira Gandhi and her
administration of the Brahmins autocracy to the Sikhs,”
Bibi Manjit Kaur Dakha (1992): Manjit Kaur Dakha and her
husband sought political asylum in the United States after being
tortured by the Indian armed personnel. Mrs. Dakha, her father, and
her 6-mo-old daughter (Bhaghel Kaur) were tortured mercilessly,
given repeated death threats, and her child was made to sit on a
colony of ants by the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF). The
daughter and father were made to beat each other with clubs.
Sardar Surinder Singh Fauji (a retired army personnel), of
Fatehabad, Tehsil: Khadur Sahib of Amritsar district of Punjab, has
been physically, mentally and psychologically tortured by Punjab
police since May 27, 1986. Valuable household articles stolen by
the police personnel from his residence have not been returned.
Despite his writing to the Prime Minister (PV Rao), Home Minister
of India (SB Chawan), Chief Justice, Supreme Court of India, Chief
Justice, Punjab and Haryana High court, and the Senior Session
Judge, Amritsar, there was no relief from the police excesses.
More than 35 Sikh youth, including Kanwarpal Singh Bittu and
Sarbjit Singh Ghuman of the Dal Khalsa, in police custody.
Similarly, Jagtaar Singh Hawara, his wife and other family
members are humiliated (by putting cigarettes and tobacco in his
mouth), tortured and harassed by the Punjab and Delhi police
(www.panthic.org 17th July, 2005). Another Sikh leader, Daljit
Singh Bittu, President, Panch Pradhani, and thousand of Sikh youth
are in jails, without trials and crimes.

full asylum, but forbade the then-INS from deporting the couple.
Indeed, she noted that Singh “is widely perceived as a moderate
and a voice for reason (Camille T Tairara, Editor, New America
Media, News Feature, Aug 07, 2006). To escape atrocities and
persecution during custody of the Indian law-enforcing personnel

States in1993

scared to return to India.
In the mid 2007, Sardar Simranjit Singh Mann, President,
Shromani Akali Dal (Amritsar), Sardar Daljit Singh Bittu, the then
Vice President, SAD-Amritsar, and Dr Sukhpreet Singh Udhoke

and charged for the ‘treason against the Indian union’ for their
peaceful demonstrations and free expression against the heavy

the basic rights of citizens, i. e., free speech, are violated. Dr
Udhoke’s publication was ceased and he was arrested.
Recently, in the second week of February, 2010, the Punjab police
killed 13 youth in Ludhina district of Punjab, while they were
participating in the Birthday celebrations of Shaheed-Bilas Saint-
soldier Jarnail Singh Khalsa, Punjab’s political and religious leader
of the 20th century (www.rozananaspokesman.com).
A mass Grave of Sikhs killed in November 1984 has been
discovered after 26 years in village Hondh-Chillar, District Rewari,
Haryana.The village was inhab ited by several Sikh families and
onNovember 02, 1984 in an organized and well planned
attack,the entire village was burnt along with the Sikh
populationand Gurudwara.The village consisting of torched
houses, a burnt Gurudwaraand s cattered human bones have now
been discovered (www.punjabspectrum.com, 17th February, 2011).
It is learned from highly reliable sources that the Central Reserve
Police Force (CRPF) had been operating at least four deep pans of
boiled oil to kill alive the Sikh youth in Amritsar in the post-
undeclared war on the occupied Sikh Nation, under the consent of
the then administration of India.

According to the Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), the summons against
Congress have been issued pursuant to a class action lawsuit filed
(SFJ v. Congress (I) SDNY (10 CV 2940)) under Alien Tort
Claims Act (ATCA) and Torture Victim Protection Act (TVPA).

Dr. Awatar Singh Sekhon's Presentation on behalf of the Sikh
Nation, PUNJAB (under the occupation of the alleged Indian
democracy of the Brahmins-Hindus, since 15th August, 1947)
SUBJECT: Human Rights Abuses and the Situation of Sikhs in
Their Holy and Historic Homeland PUNJAB, Since August 15th,
1947.
Introduction: The Sikh Raj, Punjab, the first 'Sovereign and
Secular' nation of South Asia, has been "Struggling To Regain its
Sovereignty, Independence and Political power, by peaceful means,
since March 14th, 1849. This was the day when the forces of the
Sikh Nation surrendered its sovereignty to the British Empire." At
the same time, the Sikhs struggle for sovereignty began of the
fateful day of March 14th, 1849. The Sikhs' struggle for
sovereignty has been going on to the day of this presentation and it
will continue, by peaceful means until the day the Sikh Nation
reclaims its lost sovereignty.
Briefly, the Sikh Nation, Punjab, was 'robbed' right after the
'unelected' Brahmins-Hindus clique received political power from
the then British agent. The next gift by the ruling clique of the
alleged Indian democracy was presented to the Sikhs 7-week
following their independence by issuing a state circular bearing the
signatures of JL Nehru - CL Trivedi -VB Patel, which indicated
that the 'Sikhs are lawless people, dangerous to the law-abiding
Hindus and be dealt with firmly. This was the day of October 10th,
1947 when the Sikhs of their Holy and Historic homeland,
PUNJAB, were made 'slaves' of the Brahmins-Hindus.
The Sikhs were denied their political and religious rights in the
Constitution of India passed in 1950. The Constitution which
was 'rejected' by the Sikhs elected representatives to the Indian
parliament/Lok Sabha in its draft and final forms. The Sikhs'
representatives were Sardar Hukam Singh, Sardar Bhupinder Singh
Maan and Sirdar Kapur Singh, ICS, MP, MLA and National
Professor of Sikhism (all members of parliament). Since
its 'rejection', none of the Sikhs representatives to the parliament
has accepted/signed/endorsed the Indian Constitution 1950.
In 1966, the Sikhs motherland, Punjab, the Sikh Nation, was further
21
divided into Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh, by Indira
Gandhi alias Maimuna Begum against the wishes of Sikhs.
To exterminate the Sikhs and to find a permanent relief from the
Sikhs' problems and demands, Indira Gandhi's administration of
New Delhi waged an 'undeclared' war on the Sikhs, by suspending
all means of communication and transportation measures in the
form of a brutal military "Operation Bluestar" of June, 1984. Since
this 'undeclared' war, the Punjab,Sikh Nation, is no less than a
'Concentration Camp'.
Professor Devinder Pal Singh Bhullar, Bhai Daljit Singh Bittu,
President, Panch Pradhani, a faction of Akali Dal-Amritsar, his
associates, Bhai Balwant Singh Rajona, Dilawar Singh Hawara,
along with Afzal Guru of the Internationally Disputed Areas of
Jammu and Kashmir (IDA:JK) have been kept in the high security
jails of the Brahmins-Hindus alleged democracy. Also, languishing
in the high security and others jails of Punjab and alleged Indian
democracy are more than 10,000 Sikh prisoners (male, female,
youth and children), without charges and trials
(www.punjabspectrum.com February 21st, 2011).
I would like to inform you, the ladies and gents, that just about 10-
day ago, mass graves of Sikhs killed in two villages of Haryana in
1984 genocide of Sikhs, have been located in the village Hondh-
Chillar of the Rewari district and in another village of Gurgaon
district, Haryana.
Since August 15th, 1947, more than 3.4 million Sikhs have been
killed in numerous genocide, pogroms, staged encounter killings,
etc.; more than 500,000 Muslims in general; more than 200,000
Muslims of the IDA:JK since 1988; more than 312,500 Christians;
more than 15,000 Tamils since 1990s; 15,000 citizens of Assam
and 7-sister of Assam since 1990s; hundreds of thousand Dalits;
hundred of thousand Adivaasis or Moolnivasis; several thousand
citizens of Orissa, Bihar and Rajasthan; leaving aside the rapes,
humiliation, persecution, atrocities, etc.
Punjab's natural resources are deliberately denied to the people of
Punjab. There has been no heavy industry and IT industry in the
Punjab of the Sikhs.
Pollution of the Punjab River Waters is 15 to 30-times higher than
the internationally acceptable standards. Punjab's farmers are
loaded with debts and they have been committing suicide.
The Sikhs' apex religious and political institutions (the Darbar
Sahib Complex commonly and mistakenly called the Golden
Temple Complex, Supreme Seat of Sikh Polity, The Akal Takht
Sahib, and other gurdwaras) are under the 'Tight Control' of the
New Delhi administration (NDA) and Punjab's Akali Dal-Badal's
administrations.
International Journal of Sikh Affairs 21(1), June 2011
Police, intelligence, para-military and armed forces, along with the
NDA and Akali Dal-Badal administrations, are highly corrupt.
Mr. Chairman, Dr. Graves, ladies and gentlemen, I could go on and
on, but under the time limitation, I have no choice but to conclude
my presentation. The conclusion is that the 'minimum acceptable
solution for the Sikhs is the "Sovereignty of the Sikhs Nation,
Punjab," from the slavery of the 'Brahmins-Hindus, which includes
the Punjab of August 15th, 1947 consisting of Haryana, Himachal
Pradesh, and punjabi-speaking areas associated with Punjab and
Chandigarh as well. It must be noted that the Punjabi language,
script Gurmukhi, is the language of the Sikhs only, as the
'Brahmins-Hindus' of Punjab have 'disowned' their mother tongue
in the census of 1966.

DATE: MARCH 15th, 2011
CHAIR: BARRISTER A MAJID TRAMBOO
TIME: 13:00 - 15:00 HRS
PARTICIPANTS: Altaf Hussein Wani, Professor ZAYAS, and
FIVE MORE
Participating in the discussion, Dr. Sekhon addressed to the Chair
that it is an opportunity and honor to be part of the discussion on
the subject of the Self-Determination in the Internationally
Disputed Areas of Jammu and Kashmir (IDA:JK) occupied by the
largest democracy of our world, India, so to speak.
First, Chair should not term Altaf H Wani's presentation as full of
emotions. Mr. Chairman, when a massive rape of children,
daughters, sisters and mothers is carried out by the armed personnel
of the barbarian Brahmins-Hindus' alleged democracy IDA:JK),
only a stone-hearted person could control his/her emotions. Pardon
me for my expressions that Mr. Wani did not deliver his
22
situation as compared to the days of post-undeclared war of June,
1984?
Answering the question, Dr. Sekhon said this question could be
answered from two views: the Brahmins-Hindus alleged Indian
democracy’s viewpoint, and (ii) the Sikh Nation, Punjab's point of
view. As far as the former (the Brahmins-Hindus' administration) is
concerned, "everything is fine, normal and no problems exist in
Punjab. From the Sikh nation's point of view, the Indian
administration notoriously is a 'liar'. The Sikh Nation, Punjab's
situation is 10-times worst today that what had been during the
'undeclared' of 1984 as discussed above. Further, the Sikhs do not
trust the Brahmins-Hindus politicians, who have been professional
liars.
Additionally, Dr. Sekhon said that the Prime Minister, Manmohan
Sinh, of India is an 'unelected' person, he has not been elected from
any electoral constituency of the parliament of India. There has not
been any other example in the history of the democratic
(presidential or the British system of democracy) countries where
an unelected' person has been the Chief, Council of Ministers of a
given country. This Manmohan Sinh has been abusing the
democratic system of India, if that is democratic at all.
Making his quick comment, in view of the time limitation, Dr.
Sekhon said to the Chair and audience that According to the Ho.n
Congressman Dana Rohrabacher, who said in the House of
Representatives of the United States, "As far as the Sikhs, Muslims
and other non-Hindu minorities are concerned, India is a Nazi
Germany to them."
presentation emotionally. Rather when such humiliation of the
female sex is carried out massively, no person with due respect to
the female sex, can remain 'stone-hearted', silent and without
emotions.
Mr. Chairman, I myself know what could be the humiliation, as I
have gone through with my children, daughters. sisters and mothers
in the time of an 'undeclared' war on the Sikh Nation, PUNJAB,
Khalistan (under the occupation of the 'Brahmins-Hindus' alleged
Indian democracy), in June, 1984, in the form of a brutal military
"Operation Bluestar" of June, 1984, and in 1980s and 1990s. In
fact, such humiliations are the 'modus operandi' of the barbarian
Brahmins-Hindus, ever since the time Ashoka the great laid down
his state's arms. The barbarians saw it the best opportunity and they
'exterminated' the followers of Buddhism (see Bali Ram Lahori's
title, published from the Ambadekar Centre, Wolverhampton in
1990s).
Secondly, Mr. Chairman, the process of Self-Determination is very
simple, if one believes in it. If it is beating around the bush, as the
Brahmins-Hindus alleged Indian democracy has been doing for
over 63-years. I can cite two examples of 'referendum or 'Self-
Determination'; twice in the French Canada (Province of Quebec)
and once in Puerto Rico. In both these referenda, the French
International Journal of Sikh Affairs 21(1), June 2011
Canadians decided affirmatively, during the administrations of late
Right Honourable Pierre Elliott Trudeau and Right Honourable Jean
Chretien (Governments of Canada headed by Right Honourable
Pierre Elliott Trudeau and Right Honourable Jean Chretien,
respectively), to be the part of Canada.
In the latter case, the United States mandate to rule Puerto Rico was
expiring, but the Puerto Ricans wanted to be the part of the US or be
governed by the United States. In this case, the U S lawmakers asked
the Puerto Recans that either 'you control your destiny by yourself or
the people of Puerto Rico must vote on the question as to what they

Delivered by Dr. Awatar Singh Sekhon
Mr. President
The Human Rights Council provides an opportunity to the society
organizations to draw attention of the council to the situations of
non-Hindu minorities' concerns. I would like to discuss the
increasing influence of extremist Hindu-Brahmin organizations in
Indian politics that have endangered the future of India as a
'federation'. Today, the Indian state is on the brink of being taken
over by the Hindu militants and fundamentalists.
The world community is aware that extremist organizations like the
BJP (Bhartiya Janta Party) and its sister right wings have been
given free hand to incite violence. The Government of India has
failed to check their violent activities, to say the least.
Swami Aseemanand, a leader of militant organization called RSS
(Rashtriya Swamsewak Sangh), recently confessed to a special
court in India about his involvement in several terror attacks
against Muslims. It also included assault on the Samjauta Express
train in 2007, that runs betwee n India and Islamic Republic of
Pakistan. In that very incident, more than 60 innocent lives were

GETTING BACK THE BUDDHA GAYA
Sona Kanti Barua
Hindu fundamentalists and its Indian Government (largest
democracy of the world), took over Buddhagaya Management
Committee and they confiscated Buddhists rights in administrating
the Mahabodhi Temple of the Buddhagaya, Bihar, India.
Regrettably, it has been brought to our attention that there occurred
serious sacrilegious acts (1) by King Sasanka (606-637) of Bengal
(Gaur) who cut the Mahabodhi Tree of the Buddhagaya and
removed Buddha statues and established a Siva lingam in the
Mahabodhi Temple where Lord Buddha was enlightened 2555
years ago. According to the Indian Government Buddhagaya Act
1949, cutting Siva lingam through the prolonged litigation which
has owned the front land of the Main Buddha Statue by Hindu
priests in the Mahabodhi Temple and Buddhists could not pay

This is one of the examples of increasing militancy and extremism
in the Indian society, which is being patronized by the politicians of
their parties. According to latest leak, Rahul Gandhi, top leader of
the ruling part of India, believes that the bigger threat to India is
due to radicalism that has mushroomed from the fundamentalist
Hindu parties. This mushroom phenomenon creates religious
tension and political confrontation with the Muslim community in
particular and others in general. The same fears have been
expressed by a number of other non-Hindus parties.
Mr. President
The government of India has a critical role to check the violations,
if it does want to curb the role of the Hindu fundamentalists and
militants, to protect the human rights of the minorities. In closing, I
appeal to the council and its members to outlaw all right wing

Buddhist temples including (a) Jagannath Temple, Puri, Orissa and
(b) Tirupati Balaji Temple. The Government of India has violated
our Buddhists rights in creating the Hindu Management Committee
in Buddhagaya where the Lord Buddha attained his supreme
enlightenment 2,555 years ago. Hindu fundamentalists took over
the holiest pilgrimage the Mahabodhi Temple (of the Buddhagaya)
in the Buddhist world. It is remarkable that the triumph over
prejudice and ignorance is a triumph for us all. Non-Buddhists
should not interfere into the Indian minority. Buddhists religious

Resolutions adopted during the 18 W.F. B. (World Fellowship of

by a group of people belonging to a different faith whose avowed

Whereas, in the legitimate struggle of the Indian Buddhists to put
an end to the sacrilege (Siva linga) that is being perpetrated at the
sacred Buddhist site of Buddha Gaya, a historic duty and
responsibility is cast upon the rest of the world’s Buddhist
community to extend its fullest support, morally, financially,
materially and vocally toward this cause; (iv) Whereas, we express
our grateful thanks to the Venerable Japanese Bhikkhu Sangha
(Buddhist Monks/rquote Council), including the Most Venerable
Nagarjun Shurai Sasai for espousing the sacred cause of the Indian
Buddhists from many parts of the globe assembled in Taiwan for
the 18 nosupersub General Conference of the W.F.B., express our
complete solidarity with the Indian and Japanese Buddhists to
preserve the sanctity of Buddha for Buddhists; (v) therefore, Let it
be resolved that the WFB Efforts immediately to galvanize
international opinion in relevant international organizations to
address the plight of the Buddhist community at Buddhagaya,
further resolved that the WFB make an appropriate

management of Buddhagaya by Indian Buddhists.”
In the Bodhgaya Management Committee “misuse of non-Buddhist
Members power creates this problem. The non-Buddhists and
Brahmins members should understand that.” “All human beings are
born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with
reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a
spirit of brotherhood (Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights).” There is no common sense of human rights in
Brahmanism and the Hindu society. There is a tragedy of caste
system in the Hindu society. There are many Hindus who wish to
convert into Buddhism. Brahmin priests ”tumultuous legacy of
caste & livelihood system makes their followers captives of their
faith. Lord Buddha taught them non-violence, love, wisdom and
compassion. In India 2600 years ago after attained the supreme
enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, Lord Buddha declared, “May
all beings be happy.” “He added anti-clericalism of Brahmins caste
system of Indian society is a movement that opposes religious
interference into public and political life and more generally the
encroachment of religion in the citizen’s lives.” The Buddha did
not believe in Brahmin’s philosophy of division of mankind. He
founded the Path of Universal Peace (Buddhism) to preach a way
of life and inspired to attain spiritual enlightenment irrespective of
castes, color, and religions.
Whereas after India regained political independence from the
British, the Government of Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru took
the wheel of Buddha’s Dharma (Ashok chakra) on the national flag,
the official seal of the government contains Ashokan symbols of
the beating of drums of righteousness in all four quarters of the
world symbolized by the roaring lions facing the directions and
surmounted by the sacred wheel of the Buddha. At that time Indian
Government made certain changes and gave representation to
Buddhists to protect, control, maintain and develop the world
Buddhists “most sacred place of Buddha Gaya for the benefit of
Buddhist worship. ” Greed (several Brahmin priests or every
fundamentalists of any religion) and hatred (several Hindu and
Brahmin rulers & fanatic of any faith) are enemies of mankind.
Buddhists have no freedom in the Hindu society relating to
Buddha’s Four Noble Truths, Eightfold Path and the Supreme
Enlightenment of the Buddha. Hindu leaders (R.R.S & Vishwa
Hindu Parisad) including Mr. L.K. Advani made the Buddha as
their God but there is no altar for the Buddha in Hindu temples,
offices and homes. Moreover Hindu leaders confiscated Buddhist
identity from the Buddhist community. No Hindu temple celebrates
the Buddha Puja (worship) and Buddha Jayanti at home and
abroad. But Hindu leaders demand the Buddha as their God. In hate
speech cases against anti-Buddhists the context of about the

activities of political minds of rulers and priests Brahmins who was

(Miscellany on the Buddha (Buddhavamsa, History of Buddhas in
Pali languages and Buddhism, M ohenjodaro and Harappa Cities
by Swapan Kumar Biswas, 1999, 390 pages ). Nazi leaders like
Indra (Hindu God who destroyed Buddhism in the Indus
civilization) and the Sankarayacharyas and several kings and rulers
took pride in demolishing the Buddhist images aiming at the total
eradication of the Buddhist culture, traditions, heritages and
civilization. Every Buddhist culture Hindus leaders modified into
Hinduism in India. All Buddhists are Hindus in India. Are
Burmese, Chinese, Japanese, American, Thai, and Tibetan Hindus
of India? There are misconceptions in Hindu idea relating to
Buddhism.
Hindus neither control Sikh temples nor Jain temples. History
repeats; misuse of religions makes a war. As the UNESCO
explained, “Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds
of men that defenses of peace must be constructed.” There is an
inquiry into causes and consequences of deprivation of Buddhists
in India through the historical documents. Misuse of the religion of
Brahmins, once made brutal cleansing of Buddhists in Indus
civilizations (Mohenzodaro & Harappa) and Buddhist Temples
were destroyed in India between 830 AD and 966 AD. Now what is
happening in the secular India in the name of religion?
Buddhists and peace loving people all over the world will have
been shocked upon reading the news of “Monks question outsiders’
control over Bodh Gaya temple” in the South Asian Observer of
Toronto, dated August 04, 2006 where we heard the voice of the
Oppressed Buddhists made an Outcry who are deprived of
religious rights in India. Where there is humanity, there is religion.
Whereas this is a very painful situation concerning the sacred
Buddha Gaya of world Buddhists’ holiest religious place being
controlled by a group of non-Buddhists (Hindus) whose avowed
goals are detrimental to the interests of the other religion.
In spite of the fact that Buddhism is the national religion of Asian
countries (Thailand, Burma, Laos, Sri Lanka, Burma, Japan, Korea,
Tibet, China, Mongolia, Bhutan, (Sikkim was took over by India,
Vietnam, etc. All other religions are given equal opportunity for
their followers to practice their respective beliefs.
More importantly, all religions in Thailand and other Buddhist
countries are given adequate protection against any abuse or
disrespect to any reason or objects of reverence. Under the penal
code, any of the following acts against any religion is punishable
by law: any act, by any means whatever, to an object or a place of
reverence of any community in a manner likely to insult the
religion
Whoever causes any disturbance at any assembly law fully engaged
in the performance of religious worship or religious ceremonies.
Whoever dresses or uses a symbol showing that he is a Buddhist
monk or novice, ascetic or clergymen of any religion unlawfully in
order to make another person believe that he is such person. As an
example, above articles in the Thai law indicate at least how the
Thai code of law sincerely support the spirit of tolerance and
understanding towards other religious groups. To repeat, this
despite the fact that Buddhism is regarded as the Thai national
religion. What is more noteworthy is also that the Thai Monarch,
although a Buddhist , nevertheless is Buddhistically, the upholder
of all religious groups in the kingdom. Do not all these instances
reflect Thai Buddhists’ spirit of tolerance, sympathy and
understanding towards whoever and whatever is different from
Buddhist or Thai government principles?
From the Buddhist standpoint, Hindu fundamentalists they have
themselves sunk so low that we have to pity them and pray, with a
compassionate sprit, that they understand they are doing so at their
own spiritual peril, and thus stop doing so in the Mahabodhi
Temple of Buddhagaya. Therefore, let it be resolved that the Indian

Kashmiris and Sikhs observe Indian Republic Day as Black
Day
Habib Yousafzai
Spokesperson (World Kashmir Diaspora Alliance)
The Kashmiris and Sikhs demonstrated, on January 29, 2011, in
front of the Pearson Convention Centre, 2638 Steeles Ave E.
Brampton, Ontario, where the Indian Government's personnel have
been celebrating the 'Brahmins-Hindus' alleged Indian democracy's
62nd Republic Day. All walks of life including children, woman
and elders participated in the event. The participants were
protesting against gross human rights violations, persecution,
terrorism, atrocities, etc., which are being committed in the alleged
Indian democracy, since its inception. In addition to gross
violations of human rights, the Indian administration has been
committing genocide of non Hindu minorities (the Kashmiris,
Sikhs, Muslims, Assamese, Manipuris, Adivaasis,
Christians, etc.) have been committed in the highly anti-non-
Brahmins-Hindu minorities in the name of being a democratic
nation, since 15th August, 1947. The overview of the presentation
done by the Kashmiri and Sikh leaders was as follows:
Farooq Siddiqi (Pappa Sahib) termed the Indian repression much
worse than enacted by the dictatorial regimes of the Arab World
and asked the world to take notice of the simmering anger in
Kashmir before it is too late. The new generation of Kashmiris is
extremely angry and frustrated as India continues its relentless
military repression. The world must take notice and convince India
to address the just demands of self determination before a Kashmiri
revolution topples everything and engulfs the whole region.
Questioning the rationale of Pakistan’s Kashmir policy, Papa said,
“It is quite confusing that the Pakistani Government claims to
support Kashmiris’ right to self determination but engages India on
Kashmir in a bilateral framework that does not recognize Kashmiris
as a party”.
Dr. Azrab Khan commented that more than 200,000 Kashmiri
citizens have been killed since 1988; more than 500,000 Muslims
in general; more than 3.4 million Sikhs; 15,000 Assamese and 7-

thousands of Dalits, etc. Who says that the Indian state is a

republic is a hoax, as it continues to commit atrocities on Non-

Khawaja Rafiq said that Justice Qadri of the Gujarat High court is

Ajit Singh Sahota said since 15th August, 1947, including the
Indian constitution of 1950, Indian democracy has failed
appallingly to protect human life since it became an independent
state, predominantly ruled by the 'Brahmins and high caste Hindus'.
Sardar Balkar Singh reiterated that the Sikhs have no Constitutional
Dalits, right according to the Indian Constitution of 1950, Article 25. He
said Sonia Gandhi and L K Advani are enemies of Sikhs, and other
minorities’ i.e., the fundamentalists and militants castes of the
'Brahmins and Hindus'. Fifty years later we are saying Master Tara
Singh and Baldev Singh were traitors and despite the fact the
British were recognizing three nations Sikh, Muslim and Hindus
who will have veto power in the decision but their offer was
ignored. He also added that we do not have to wait another 50 years
in making the decision. Why not declare now that the 'unelected'
Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh and Parkash Singh Badal, are
traitors, of the Sikhs and human rights violators, along with a real
hurdle in the freedom of the 'Landless Sikh Nation, PUNJAB,
Khalistan'.

WHEN IT COMES TO THE SIKHS, IT IS THE GENOCIDE, INJUSTICE, SIKH RELIGION, THE SIKH WAY OF LIFE, OR
THEIR SOVEREIGNTY?
Dr. Awatar Singh Sekhon
Since August 15th, 1947 the Sikhs have lost almost everything in
their lives what it is needed for their very survival. First of all, the
Sikhs lost their Sikh Nation, Holy and Historic Homeland,
PUNJAB, the Sikh Nation what it used to be the 'First Sovereign
and Secular Nation' of South Asia. This was the Sikh Nation,
PUNJAB, of monarch Ranjit Singh, 1799 to March 14th, 1899. Let
us go a little further, there has been a historical evidence, which
many a Sikh would not like to even mention it, because it had been
the so-called Sikhs' leader, a Brahmin turned to a Khatri (Malhotra)
and then became a member of the 'House of Baba Guru Nanak
Sahib (the founder of the Sikh Religion)', a leader of the Sikhs'
Akali Party, and who came with the contacts of a Baniya named
MK Gandhi (the person who insulted the 10th Master of the Sikhs,
who revealed the 'Khalsa Panth or Guru Khalsa Panth. The Baniya
MK Gandhi insulted the 10th Master by calling him with the
passing the derogatory remarks/language) and a Brahmin, JL
Nehru. This master Tara Singh 'devoid' of the teachings of Guru
Granth Sahib, had more than a million of Sikh killed in a genocide
before August 15th, 1947. On August 15th, 1947 the friend and
follower of a Gujrati Baniya and a Kashmiri Brahmin (MK Gandhi
and JL Nehru), 'swallowed' the Sikh Nation, Punjab. On October
10th, 1947, these two friends and supporters of Master Singh
declared through a state circular the "Sikhs are lawless people and
are dangerous to the law-abiding Hindus-Brahmins." Did the Sikhs
remember these words and act in terms of what is in store for them
in the era post- October 10th, 1947 period?
Since August 15th, 1947 more than 3.4 million Sikhs of the
'Landless Sikh Nation, PUNJAB, Khalistan, have been killed in
numerous genocide, pogroms, fake-encounter killings of Sikh
youth, Sikh females have been humiliated in the 1978 massacre of
Sikhs in Amritsar, an 'undeclared' war in the form of a brutal
military "Operation Bluestar" of June, 1984, 1980s, 1990s, together
with the genocide of the Sikh culture by the 'Bollywood Movie
Industry's Bikni Culture' and under the 'ulterior motives' adopted by
the Hindu-Brahmin fundamentalists and militants. The so-called
Sikh politicians, if they are the politicians at all, jathedars/band
leaders appointed by the State administration of the Sikhs' Holy and
Historic Homeland, etc., have turned bootlickers/Chapliachuts of
the 'Brahmins-Hindus' alleged Indian Institution of democracy. Has
any professionals, politicians, the Sikh youth followers of the
Bollywood's Bikni Culture paid any attention to their quickly
deteriorating Sikh Culture, Sikh Religion, Sikh politicians, Sikh
academia, Sikh professionals, Sikhs of the armed forces, etc? No,
not at all. Under the promotional programs, everything is 'fine, be
happy with the consumption of alcohol, drugs, filthy songs in the
26
of Punjab, citizens of Assam and its 7-sister, etc.” He further
cautioned to the Indian government, “Treat us (Kashmiris) in such
a way that in case we see each other again as neighbors, you can
face us.”
The participants who also addressed the protestors were Shahjahan
Khan, Javed Khan, Qammar khurshid, Zahid Hussain, and Noushad
Hussain. The demonstration was concluded with the decision that
the "peaceful struggle will continue on until India quits Kashmir
and Khalistan."

you need not to think about your future. We, the Brahmins-Hindus
will take care of you, to destroy you and uproot you. The
bootlickers of the Brahmins-Hindus are taking you away from
educating you. In essence, your enemy will make you a culture-less
entity, devoid of everything which makes you a person to fit in the
society of the 'Brahmins-Hindus' and its main stream as we, the
Brahmins did in the Devdasi culture (a taboo) of our Hindu
temples. You, the Sikh youth, have been made the victims of the
'Brahmins-Hindus' Educational System, prescribed, watched and
executed carefully by the 'Brahmins-Hindus' Research and Analysis

(or open up your eyes), it would have been too late, or you have
missed the boat.
We, the Brahmins-Hindus, will never let you to come to your
senses. This is our policy, the Sikh youth, if you try to understand
it. This will continue to destroy the Sikh Culture, your religious
institutions, reading, reciting, and making your future plans for
your uplift, based on the 'reading and reciting your Holy Scripture,
Guru Granth Sahib ji, the compilation of the teachings of the Sikh
Guru Sahibans, from Guru Baba Nanak Sahib to Sahib Guru
Gobind Singh ji', should you come to your senses from our
(Brahmins-Hindus) ulterior motives. Until you, the Sikhs, realize
that you belong to the 'House of Guru Baba Nanak Sahib alias Guru
Khalsa Panth', the Brahmins-Hindus would have a 'Tight Control'
on your life as we the Brahmins-Hindus have already having your
apex institution under our 'Tight fist', using your turbaned
Brahmins-Hindus in 'The Sikh Identity'. Until you, the Sikh youth,
realize that the 'Brahmins-Hindus' are neither a culture nor a
religion, and all out to 'swallow' the Sikh Religion. Until your soul
compels you that you need to know your Sikh History from the
Sikh point of view. The Sikh History from the Sikh point of view
will never be allowed to be read, practiced and learned by you.
That is what our plans are to destroy your 'religion and culture'. The
Sikh religion which is the 5th largest religion of the world.
Many of the Sikh Diaspora have formed their groups, professional
outfits, Simran Sewa, Law Societies, etc., to tackle the Genocides,

latter is the 'Life line for the Sikhs' Survival'. My dears (Sikhs) do
not forget that what you need and what will your devotion should
be for the 'Sikhs' Sovereignty, nothing less than the Sovereignty'.
With due respect to the Sikh professional lawyers, you have
attained your expertise in the field of law, international law, but
you need to have a 'big' heart to know which you have no choice
but to come to the grip of your enemy's motives that the Indian
Constitution 1950 was 'rejected' in the Indian parliament repeatedly
in 1948, November 26th, 1949, 1950 and more recently on

KASHMIRIS & NON-BRAHMINS-HINDU MINORITIES FATE
MUST BE DECIDED NOW
Habib Yousafzai, Spokesperson, World Kashmir Diaspora Alliance
(WKDA)
On behalf of the WKDA in particular and non-Brahmin-Hindu
minorities in general (especially the Sikhs of the 'Landless Sikh
Nation, Sikh Raj, Punjab, Khalistan, Christians, Assamese
including their 7-sisters, Tamils, Dalits, Adivaasis, etc.), I am
bound to make a statement that the time has come when the right of
'Self-Determination', promises given before August 15th, 1947 and
unfulfilled promises be carried out to the non-Brahmin-Hindu
minorities people who have been laying their lives to control their
destiny and their future generations as 'Sovereign' people of
Kashmir, Punjab, Assam, Christians, Dalits, Adivaasis, etc. This is
the time when the 'Brahmins-Hindus' barbarous acts must
immediately be stopped, bloodshed must be stopped, as enough
blood of Kashmiris and other minorities have been 'sucked' by the
'Brahmins-Hindus' monsters in the 'Brahmins-Hindus alleged
Indian democracy, since August 15th, 1947. I am leaving the
persecution, prosecution, terrorism, gross human rights violations,
genocide, humiliation, dehumanization, fake-encounter killings,
etc. of the Kashmiri and non Kashmiri people (see above) aside.
The non-Brahmins-Hindus people of the alleged Indian democracy,
hereafter called the 'Institution of barbarous killings”, must be freed
and saved from further loss of human lives at the hand of armed
institutions of the alleged Indian democracy.
Since August 15th, 1947 more than 200,000 Kashmiri citizens have
been killed ( since 1988); more than 500,000 Muslims in general;
more than 3.4 million Sikhs; 15,000 Assamese and 7-sister of
Assam; more than 312,500 Christians; hundreds of thousands of
Dalits, etc. Who says that the Indian state is a democratic state?
Rather, the Indian claim of being a democratic republic is a hoax,
as it continues to commit atrocities on Non-Brahmin-Hindu
minorities, the Kashmiris and Sikhs in particular. The United
Nations must pay attention that it has failed to carry out 1948's
resolution of the Security Council to carry out 'Self-Determination'
in the Indian-occupied Internationally Disputed Areas of Jammu
and Kashmir.
The Honorable Sir, how long the people of Kashmir, Sikhs of
Punjab, Assamese, Cgristians, Dalits, Adivaasis, Tamils, etc., have
to suffer? The time is now let the people to be 'Sovereign', who
have been struggling for their 'Sovereignty' since August 15th,

Revelation of Khalsa Day Parade Nagar Keertan, Rexdale, Toronto ,Canada
Habib Yousafzai, Spokesperson, World Kashmir Diaspora Alliance (WKDA), delivered the following on the Revelation of Khalsa Day Parade,
Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

The Revelation of Khalsa (means SOVEREIGN) Day Parade or the
Nagar Keertan in Rexdale, Toronto suburb commencing at 1:30 pm
from Sri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara, 7282 Airport Rd., Malton,
Mississauga, Ontario and culminated approximately at 6:30 pm at
Sikh Spiritual Centre, 9 Carrier Drive, Etobicoke, ON M9V 4B2. A
crowd of more than 200,000 people of all walks of life participated in
this event. One of the floats was displaying a very big poster of
Shaheed-Bilas Saint-soldier Jarnail Singh Khalsa (Bhindranwale).
The Shaheed-Bilas was killed deliberately in an 'undeclared' war
thrusted by the Indira Gandhi administration, in the form of a brutal
military "Operation Bluestar" of June, 1984. Shaheed-Bilas Jarnail
Khalsa warned the Indira Gandhi administration in no uncertain
words that "if the Indian Government invaded and desecrated the
Darbar Sahib complex, the foundation for an independent Sikh state
will be laid down, although he never demanded a Sovereign Sikh
nation, except to improve the deteriorating law and order situation in
PUNJAB under the occupation of the Indian administration since
15th August, 1947.”
The Revelation Day of Khalsa dates back 1699 when the Tenth Master
of Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh Sahib, sent a message to his followers to

28
International Journal of Sikh Affairs 21(1), June 2011
congregate at Anandpur on March 30, 1699. On this day, he laid down
the foundations of Khalsa. Sahib Guru Gobind Singh Ji initiated the
Sikhs by administering Amrit, prepared in a steel bowl mixing the
drinking water with the crystallized sugar known as Patashas in
Punjabi, string with a double-edged sword, called Khanda, reciting
Gurbani inscribed in Guru Granth Sahib, the Holy Scripture of the
Sikhs. The initiation took place first to five volunteers who offered
themselves to sacrifice their lives for their Guru Sahib. These five
initiated are called “the five beloved ones”(Panj Piare). Following
their initiation, Guru himself requested to the 'five beloved one' to
administer him the Amrit, so that he could become like them and
'Revealed the Khalsa'. The five beloved ones were Bhai Daya Singh,
Bhai Dharam Singh, Bhai Himmat Singh, Bhai Mohkam Singh, and
Bhai Sahib Singh.
In the five hour Revelation of Khalsa Day Parade, the writer noted
exemplary discipline shown by the Sikh participants. All sorts of food
and sweets were distributed free to everyone. The event had been
concluded exactly what I expressed, in accordance with the teaching
of Sikh religion, its tenets and the Sikh Way of Life. The Tenth Guru
Sahib recited rallying slogans of Khalsa belongs to God; victory
belongs to the Almighty (Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki
Fateh). He named the Sikh males as “Singh” (lion/prince), and
designated his followers collectively as Khalsa (the Sovereign
nation). My sisters you know more than me about the Sikhism, but I
maintain that Sikhism is the only religion wherein women are
regarded at par to men. Not only men, women were also initiated into
Khalsa and given the title of “Kaur” (princess). The Sikh religion
does not discriminate on the basis of caste, color, or creed, and, also
does not believe in rituals of any kind; as such, it is casteless, classless

Open Secrets-India’s Intelligence Unveiled by Maloy Krishna Dhar (2005) [552P] ISBN: 81-7049-240-8
www.manaspublications.com
Reviewer: K Singh
M.K. Dhar a Bengali Brahmin of East Pakistani extraction tells his
tale of 29 years of serving in the India’s Intelligence Bureau while
being a field operator. Armed with a degree in Journalism Dhar
joined the Indian Police service in 1965. He eventually got inducted
into the Intelligence Bureau (IB) based on his professional service.
Chapter 1-9:
Dhar in these several chapters weaves all his little spy stories while
stationed in the North-East, from Darjeeling to Nagaland. Spying is
no simple art and does require a person to lock away the conscience
since information is bartered with dire consequences. The Hindu
‘holy texts’ contain a character called ‘Nardmuni’ in their fairy tale
stories. Nardmuni is a spy who collects information and dispenses
misinformation. Dhar’s job is exactly that and in his own words he
performs it with aplomb. Fortunately the only folks, who can judge
his work now, will be readers like me. It is clear from the Dhar’s
writings that he is rabidly biased against the Muslims and few other
minorities. He thinks he is very honest because he apparently never

religion. Sikhism believes in one God, formless, Omni present, it is
the master and protector of humanity. The Guru Sahib also advised
his followers that he who kills his daughter, the Khalsa shall not deal
with him.
The 10th Master, Guru Gobind Singh Sahib, has also blessed you with
the five K's and you will observe as a pledge of your dedication to the
Sovereign Sikh Nation (religion+the Sikh politics). These 5-Ks are:
Kash: Hair unshorn representation of saintliness
Kangha: A comb to keep hair clean and untangled.
Karrah: An iron/steel bracelet protects the forearm in combat.
Kachhera: Underwear (special under garment)
Kirpan: is made of metal and mistakenly called as sword or sharp
knife (to be used for self-defence) only the Dastaar (Turban) as
inscribed in Guru Granth Sahib: "Sabat Surat Dastaat Sira" which
means a Sikh's Identity is not complete without covering his/her head
with a Dastaar/scarf (for females) or Chuni.
These are not only tenets of the Sikh religion but makes you feel to be
a 'sovereign' nation also, as the Guru blessed his Sikhs to
be'sovereign'. Your fight for freedom started the day the Tenth master
revealed the Khalsa Panth and this fight/struggle will continue until
nation becomes a 'Sovereign Sikh nation, Khalistan'. It should be
freed from the Indian-occupation. The flag of Khalistan/Sikh
Nation/PUNJAB of 15th August, 1947 will be waving equal to the
flags of other free nations. Please do not forget my dear brothers,
sisters and Sikh youth that the Punjab of monarch Ranjit Singh, 1799
to 14th March, 1849, was the first 'Sovereign and Secular' nation of
South Asia.
accepted a bribe, but honesty also means carrying out other deeds
without deceit, which Dhar conveniently ignores. Every
unimaginable trick has been used by Dhar to misuse information
against small defenseless minorities to ultimately dominate them. I
had found the ordinary Naga home more civilized and polished
than any Hindu home even in the cities like Delhi and
Calcutta….[Page 152] These very same Nagas who are more
cultured than the Hindus as per Dhar are being killed because their
human rights are being trampled on and they want freedom from
the domineering Indian government. Unfortunately for the Hindus
there is no such focused social machinery…….The Arya Samaj and
the RSS have failed in this crucial field of unifying the Hindu
society….[Page 152] Dhar at least acknowledges this fact even
though he is an avid follower of the same organizations.
Chapter 10:
The word Hindu is a geopolitical description and not a religious
marker….[Page 163]
International Journal of Sikh Affairs 21(1), June 2011
Dhar has to re-read his religious history to realize that the word
Hindu as per the Urdu dictionary means some of the following;
chor, daku, lootera (thief, robber, crook). All those practicing
Brahminical customs were labeled ‘Hindu’ by the Mughal
conquerors based on their observations. The pronunciation of the
word Sindu to Hindu is a farce.
Chapter 11:
I must make it clear that none of the top Naga underground leaders
I met was ‘paid agent’ of the IB…..Cultivation of such ‘friendship’,
however, was appreciated by the IB and the Government of India.
Such friendship ‘is an intelligence gathering procedure’, otherwise
known as diplomatic engagement……[Page 173]
Nagas at various times as admitted by Dhar saved his life and were
extremely respectful towards his family, yet Dhar used the
‘intelligence’ he gathered, against the same people who gained his
trust. Even prostitutes have more integrity!
Chapter 12:
I had often fought wars against them. But those wars were related
to national security. These were not directed against the people of
the states. I think I helped the process of integration by using the
tools of subversion. Conversion, and equalization of our mutual
perspectives on vital national and local tribal issues……[Page 187]
When a group whose distinctive features, customs, religion,
language and everything else is completely alien to the ruler, the
ruled will want freedom and liberty as it is but natural. To forcibly
mainstream a group by railroading them is height of chicanery,
racism and outright injustice. Nagas have been fighting for self rule
for over 60 years and many genocides have been committed against
a helpless race all in the name of India’s national integration,
thanks to ‘satans’ like Dhar.
Chapter 13;
The IB unit was reeking with corruption and nepotism. The caste
configuration of the top management was 100% brahminical and
the youngest of them had already earned reputation as a freelance
boozer and womanizer……[Page 188]
The bane of India has always been the overt and covert control of
all government machinery by the cunning Brahmins who have their
tentacles into every facet of the social fabric with a lopsided
predominance in all the civil services throughout India, considering
that they barely make up 3.5% of the total Indian population.
Chapter 14:
He refused to recognize the fact that an intelligence operative is
required to kiss even a venomous cobra……[Page 203]
30
The reality is that men like Dhar are the king cobras of modern day
India and claim to be as holy as the cobras strung around the neck
of the Hindu ‘god’ Shiva! The venom spread by Dhar ruined the
lives of thousands of innocents instead of saving many as he
claims.
Chapter 15:
I derived satisfaction out of the facts that I had done whatever I
could do to establish the Intelligence Bureau as a respected wing of
the government of India in Sikkim….I had succeeded in
penetrating almost all segments of the Sikkimese society. The
politicians and the people had started looking up to the IB unit as
an independent window to Delhi….In my perception it was no
mean an achievement…..[Page 227]
An independent sovereign country is invaded and taken over by
force completely illegally by India. Later every trick in Nardmuni’s
tool belt is used to break down a uniquely cohesive society so it’s
pliable for the Brahmin masters in Delhi for which Dhar is patting
himself on the back.
Chapter 16:
I also suggested creation of a separate unit for training IB officers
in the tenets of Islam, and shaping them up as ‘real
Muslims’……[Page 231]
This is exactly how the Indian government got hardened Hindu
criminals a reprieve by teaching, training and actually made them
look like ‘Sikhs’ and then sending them to Punjab to murder
innocents so that in the eyes of the public, Sikhs would be blamed
as terrorists. State sponsored terrorism at its best played out in the
open killing fields of Punjab for over a decade and people like Dhar
are responsible for the deaths of over a quarter million innocent
Sikhs.
Chapter 17:
After a month’s prodding I was accosted by a tall and burly Jat
police inspector at my Faridkot House office…..He had just
managed a posting at a coveted police station in central Delhi after
defraying an awesome expenditure of Rupees 500,000. he got it
because he was the highest bidder. His collections were yet to equal
the expenditure incurred by him. “You tell me sir,”…...”Is it fair to
drag me out of that police station at this stage? Should I not earn at
least an additional 1,500,000?”….[Page 244]
The above practice of paying bribes to for a coveted posting in
order to make more money is simply the norm across India, also up
and down the police hierarchy. Nothing moves without greasing the
palms anywhere. So it is strange that Dhar claims to be a saint.

International Journal of Sikh Affairs 21(1), June 2011
The delicate task was related to selling the Indian version of the
Sikh imbroglio and to convince the Canadian leadership that India
was a victim of Sikh terrorism….[Page299]
The deadly misinformation campaign was carried out by all the
Dhars at the Indian government’s disposal with unlimited financial
resources but not with any finesse at all, instead through a vicious
Goebels style propaganda. The ‘soft target’ was penetrated very
successfully thereby ruining the reputation of one of the most
upstanding Faith groups in the last few centuries.
We had developed friendship with the troubleshooter, dirty
manipulator and corrupt person, as his critics and a section of the
media severally described Dhawan. He could do anything, I was
ready to concede, but I never believed that he could be part of the
conspiracy that killed Indira Gandhi……[Page 302]
Indira Gandhi the Satanic Durga goddess had planned the
‘holocaust’ of the Sikhs at the end of 1984 all across India code-
named “Operation Shanti”. R.K.Dhawan her special assistant knew
everything including who Indira Gandhi slept with; therefore it is
very likely he found out her diabolical plan and in a pre-emptive
strike, instigated the Sikh bodyguards to kill her and then had them
killed immediately thereafter. Dhavan killed literally two birds with
one stone. Its macabre; but Dhawan maybe the savior of the Sikhs
because without him many millions would have been brutally
murdered by Indira Gandhi. A super spy like Dhar cannot pretend
not to know that, unfortunately his super soft corner for the mighty
Durga and her assistant has put blinders on his grey matter.
Chapter 20:
The West was not yet ready to appreciate the pains of terrorism,
because they were yet to be hit by the fanatics. Canadian attitude
had undergone some change after the Sikh militants downed the
Air India flight, in which hundreds of Canadian citizens had
perished……[Page 310]
It is strange that Dhar can pretend to feel sympathy for the
primarily Sikh passengers and yet charge Sikhs of being the guilty
party in killing unarmed Canadians. Even the pilot was a Sikh. If
Dhar is so, sure how come no Canadian-Sikh has been ever charged
for the heinous crime till today? If Dhar is so clean, the entire
diplomatic team operating in and around 1985 could voluntarily
offer to be debriefed or be grilled Indian style by the CSIS and
there is no question the real truth would come out as to who are the
real culprits behind this deadly conspiracy to blowup the Air India
plane.
The Bofors deal was concluded when Rajiv held the defense
charge, like his mother did the HDW deal was struck…..the
32
complicated maze of transfer and retransfer of the kickback amount
only wrapped Rajiv up in…………[Page 313]
Rajiv Gandhi popularized the ten percent concept. The Gandhi clan
is not powerful because of their brains, but the fact that they have
made hundreds of millions in kickbacks. Thanks to Indira and
Rajiv, in India today a bribe is known as a “Gandhi”!
The slogan ‘gali gali mein shor hai Rajiv Gandhi chor hai’ (there is
noise in the lanes that Rajiv Gandhi is a thief) is ascribed to the
prominent RSS activist……[Page 317]
Even public humiliations were not enough to ruffles the feathers of
a rhino skinned scoundrel like Rajiv Gandhi.
To some of my colleagues ‘operation’ meant generating actionable
information and associate with the police to physically eliminate
the terrorists. On a number of occasions innocent youths were
picked up in police style and mercilessly interrogated. They often
disappeared; killed and dumped in isolated and mass
graves……[Page 320]
Dhar admits that men from the Intelligence Bureau were culpable
and directly responsible for the mass murder of thousands of Sikhs,
yet personally feigns innocence.
Chapter 21:
I preferred the peace route to the ‘elimination route’ as I firmly
believed that terrorism in Punjab did not grow overnight. It resulted
from political intransigence and indulgence in competitive
fundamentalism by two historically inimical forces: the Congress
and the Akali Dal…….[Page 324]
It is tough to believe a professional liar! Any terrorism in Punjab
was a direct creation of Indira Gandhi and her Congress Party with
the help of Dhar’s gracious offices to spread murder and mayhem
with the help of Hindu criminals dressed as Sikhs. The various long
lingering economic grievances are not even mentioned, which was
the real reason for the Sikhs to fight for their rights as a last resort
after ‘many years of peaceful protests’. If Sikhs were really blood
thirsty terrorists as described by Dhar there would be no Hindus left
in Punjab especially after the state sponsored pre-planned Sikh
Genocide of 1984 and thereafter.
Chapter 22:
However I do not hate the people of Pakistan, who are even now
made to believe that religion is the beast arrak or Soma Rasa
intoxicant, which is toughest crazy glue……Indians, specially the
Hindus, tend to transform even immediate history to mythology. At
a spin of a coin they replace the idols of their gods by the idols of
politicians like Indira and Rajiv…..They tend to burn their women
and worship them as goddesses. Similarly they are adept in
demonizing the people they do not like…[Page345]
International Journal of Sikh Affairs 21(1), June 2011
Dhar is an enigma who speaks from both sides of the mouth, a
typical Brahmin trait. He intensely hates Muslims yet he claims the
opposite. Som Rasa is ‘liquor’ which is mentioned in all the oldest
Hindu Vedic texts, because the writers of those texts were well
intoxicated while writing the hate literature, which is the
foundation of all Hindu ideology. There lies the conundrum, which
is yet to be understood thoroughly by others.
A little before the November 1989 polls….I should meet Lal
Krishna Advani, the BJP president. We met twice…..I was
impressed by the white haired and mustached leader and sharpness
exhibited by him. He was too ahead of most other Sangh Parivar
leaders I happened to meet….But he gave me to understand that his
views on secularism….It coincided with my views…..[Pages 373-
374]
Dhar in his own words is of the same mindset as the fiery
hatemonger L.K.Advani. If such hate filled Brahmin spies fill the
intelligence agencies of India what chance of freedom or justice
does the ordinary citizen who happens to be of a minority faith
have?
Chapter 23:
The wily Uttar Pradesh Brahmin considered himself more
competent than the Sindhi refugee and aspired for the top slot once
the Sangh Parivar succeeded in increasing its kitty from 86 to 200.
Murli Manohar wanted his own man to lead the IB, an organization
that could virtually open up the treasure trove of intelligence to
him…….[Page 378]
Brahmins have always survived for the last 3,000 years through
controlling the levers of power by deceit and chicanery to keep
their blood sucking apparatus afloat in perpetuity.
Chapter 24:
Their Hindu roots were much deeper than the egalitarian preaching
of the Gurus and artificial efforts by certain leaders to project
Sikhism as altogether a new faith….[Page 383]
Dhar does not know the meaning of honesty and ethics at all. The
Sikh Faith has rejected all the founding pillars of Brahminism
outright. The practice of the Sikh Faith is completely different to
Hinduism’s polytheistic arcane mumbo-jumbo rooted in fairytales.
Here again Dhar in patently biased against the Sikh Faith not only
out of ignorance but also out of sheer hate.
From mythological and historical times the upper caste Hindus
have treated the lower castes as gutter creatures…..[Page 391]
Dhar admits the apartheid against their own kind within the Hindu
faith yet questions the Sikh Faith where everyone is treated equally
33
and where there are no mind numbing ritualistic (Hindu) shackles
of medieval times.
The Hindu society suffered and still suffers from the worst type of
apartheid type segregation….The anti-Mandal agitation was far
from a spontaneous response against reservation for the backward
castes….it was handled ….the large amounts of money that was
spent on the agitation came from the dark chambers of the Indira
Congress party….[pages 391-392]
Again Dhar admits the harsh realities of the Hindu faith he reveres
and peels a few of the covers off the highly corrupt Indira Gandhi,
the high priest of treachery and intrigue.
A Hindu backlash was on the cards and the Sangh Parivar simply
took advantage of the tottering political edifices……..to revive the
Indian-ness, which believed in Hindu supremacy……[Page 395]
The rabidly fascist ideology of the Sangh Parivar, RSS, and BJP is
akin to the Nazi hate ideology perpetuated by these groups across
India. It’s a top down poisoning of the common Hindu mind rather
than a grass roots uprising of ultra nationalism. The common Hindu
is too timid a creature to think for himself. The slavery under the
Mughals for the last 1,000 years is proof enough. Now that
Brahmin Puppeteers have inhaled power for the first time, instead
of being wise and benign rulers they have not been able to control
their latent rage of being ruled by Muslim kings for 800+ years, and
are venting their hate in various ways.
Chapter 25;
There was this Bannu (not his real name), a turbaned Sikh from
Punjab who wanted an ambassadorial assignment anywhere in the
world that hosted an Indian Mission. He was ready with fat money
bags and strong recommendation from Chandraswami as well as
Simaranjit Singh Mann…He opened up his mind and a briefcase to
offer me a tidy sum of rupees 200,000…..He promptly closed the
bag and later bagged the ambassadorial assignment to an African
country after liberally contributing to the funds of the Prime
Minister and the union Minister of State for home Affairs….. [Page
404]
Dhar is honest for once, as there has only been one turbaned Sikh
posted in Africa during Dhar’s tenure and that has been the
infamous ambassador ‘Pannu’ who served in West Africa in the
early 90’s and made a grand fortune bartering deals between the
African politicians and the sleazy Indian businessmen to stash away
millions and built himself a palatial home in Chandigarh.
Interestingly enough, Dr. Sohan Singh had maintained a discreet
contact with Indira Congress through one of his sons, a member of
the Indian Administrative Service, and through the family of Sardar
Swaran Singh…..Dr. Sohan Singh had established a vast network
International Journal of Sikh Affairs 21(1), June 2011
amongst the civil servants and elite members of the civil society…..
[Page 412].
Amusingly, one of the best covert agents of the IB & RAW was Dr.
Sohan Singh Boparai, a wanted man on top of RAW’s list-publicly,
yet he was not killed by the Indian Government. Instead he is
comfortably living in Chandigarh today, even though he had been
called the biggest terrorist leader of his time. Furthermore this
Indian government’s super agent sent one of his henchmen, one
Amarjit Singh (probably not his real name) to the US in and around
1990 to garner support for the cause of Khalistan by opening a
office in the Washington D.C. under the name of Khalistan Affairs
Center. This particular Amarjit Singh’s public claim has always
been that Dr. Sohan Singh had sent him to espouse the cause of
Khalistan in the US and is still in business. It is rather strange that
he is not on any wanted list by the Indian authorities therefore the
readers have to decipher whether all this is organized by RAW or
not!
Chapter 26:
The audio and video tapes rattled my emotional attachment to the
Hinduvata protagonist organizations. The February meeting tapes
disillusioned me. The contents proved beyond a doubt that the high
priests of hatred had helped the Sangh Parivar to adopt a strident
Hinduvata program soon after the assignation of Indira
Gandhi….proved beyond a doubt that they had drawn up the
blueprint of the Hinduvata assault in coming months and
choreographed the praylaya nritya (dance of destruction) at
Ayodhya in December 1992, that had disfigured the India I
knew….The RSS,BJP,VHP and the Bajranj Dal leaders present in
the meeting amply agreed to work in a well orchestrated
manner…..to the best of my knowledge these highly sensitive tapes
were consigned to the archives of the Intelligence Bureau [Pages
434 & 436]
These criminals should be rotting behind bars for life, instead they
are still spewing their hatred all over India while the incriminating
tapes have been dumped deep into oblivion.
Chapter 27:
KPS.Gill’s ruthless operations did not remain confined to legal
policing. The police, military, and intelligence agencies perpetrated
murder, rape, looting, inhuman torture and amassing wealth like
their terrorist counterparts did……[Page 438]
Dhar has spilled the beans on the barbarities committed in the name
of law and order by the ‘Butcher of Punjab’namely KPS.Gill. The
Governor of Punjab (Sharma) who died in a plane crash had over
rupees 20 Crores [5 Million Dollars] stashed in his house. Over
34
41,000 cash bounties were paid to the various police departments to
murder innocent Sikhs. The ‘terrorist counterparts’ Dhar is alluding
to were his own ‘cats’, state sponsored criminals trained to
assassinate and not, the ordinary Sikhs as he is trying to project.
Chapter 28:
Personally I rated Rao as one of the worst hunter-gatherers of the
Indian politics. His alleged corrupt practices had fattened his own
pocket and not the party coffers. His scholarly slough did glitter but
like that of a black cobra……[Page 445]
P.V.Narasimha Rao the Prime Minister of India personally made
over 25,000-Crore [1.3 Billion Dollars] during his tenure. His son
today is not only the richest man in Andhra Pradesh but the largest
private financier. Gluttony knows no bounds in Indian politics.
Every Indian Prime Minister has been for sale at the right price
and Dhar’s concern about national security is simply hysterical!
It’s on record that the largest secret Swiss bank account holders in
the world are Indians, mostly politicians and businessmen as of
2009.
Chapter 29:
Hindu unity and not belligerence can help strengthening the secular
edifices of the country…..Hindu consciousness can at best unify the
Hindu society and strengthen the building blocks of the
nation……[Page 459]
Dhar must be deluded while intoxicated with the Soma (liquor)
Rasa! Hindu unity is an oxymoron, incase he has not woken up to
that harsh fact. Hinduism has lived and thrived on complete
disunity of society, as that is one of its two pillars namely, ‘caste’.
If you take away caste a Hindu is technically not a Hindu anymore.
Therefore Hinduism or Sanatana Dharam itself must be thrown into
the dustbin of history for India to reinvigorate and unite.
Chapter 30:
The video tape and about 70 still snaps that my boys had managed
to capture constituted vital evidence of the act of vandalism at
Ayodhya by shiv sainiks and presumably the tsunami-affected
devotees of Lord Rama…They agreed with me that the Shiv Sena
volunteers launched the initial attack on the mosque……[Page 470]
Even with overwhelming evidence on camera that the leaders of all
the various Hindu terrorist groups were directly responsible for the
destruction of a Muslim Mosque and murder of hundreds of
Muslims, nothing happened to these leading Hindu criminals.
Chapter 31:
But who cares for the truth in a nation where the national slogan is
Satyameva Jayate (only truth shall be victorious)? Slogans are tools
of mass hypnosis. These are not grains of truth!......[Page 475]
International Journal of Sikh Affairs 21(1), June 2011
How true! The truth in India is of the same style as the dark lord
Krishna who subverted and flouted every norm-ethic to win a war
in the fairy tale Mahabharata.
Chapter 32:
But my elder son, who graduated from the Indian Institute of
Management (IIM), Ahmedabad, in 1994…..suddenly decided to
join the Reliance group rather than opting for a US
multinational……[Page 489]
Due to Dhar’s relationship and his senior position in the IB the
Ambanis made sure his son got a job therefore it was very much a
transactional proposition. In fact due to Dhar’s guilt he had his son
leave the Ambanis ultimately. Who is he kidding!
Chapter 33:
Like any tool of the government the CBI served its masters
faithfully, often to the constraints of constitutional liberty and legal
propriety…….[Page 492]
The end game of the IB, RAW, CBI, etc is simply being a pliable
tool in the hands of the dirty politicians who use the entire
apparatus for massive monetary and other ruthless gains but rarely
for genuine national interests at least in the Indian context.
Chapter 34:
The mention of the name of a son of the Prime Minister in an IB
report had sent panic waves. It had complicated the political
situation for Narasimha Rao, who was already besieged by Harshad
Metha and share market scandal…….[Page 507
The Prime Minister of India’s son was directly involved in the
selling of ultra important secrets and after breaching national
security all the politicians came out unscathed. Such is the beauty
of the ultra corrupt ‘holy’ India.
I too was used in big way by the masters of the day to sabotage the
law and order and weaken the constitution. In retrospect I feel we
are not the real public servants, we are the servants of the public
representatives, most of whom manipulate the system to acquire the
status of statesmen…….[Page 514]
Dhar does portray the reality. But the question does arise, why
Dhar a supposedly upright honest man did not have the guts to
resign from such a corrupt system, which he now condemns in
retrospect. Further why is he, still collecting a pension from that
same corrupt system!
Chapter 35:
At least 50% of the human resources are dedicated to their
profession……Like all other government departments rest of the
50% human resources are utilized in questionable manner…….The
IB are suborned to the political interests of the party in power and
35
the Prime Ministers and Home Ministers…..It can do better id freed
from the clutches of the politicians….I am not an investigator and
cannot produce evidences of personal corruption against any
politician – be it, Indira, Rajiv, Rao, Laloo Yadav……except
P.V.Narsimha Rao. It is unfortunate that India was saddled with a
man who was transformed from a teacher to a toshkana (treasure
chest) manager…..Making the intelligence and investigative
agencies accountable to the elected Parliament under appropriate
Act. After 57 years of independence a time has come to liberate the
intelligence and Investigation Establishments from the stranglehold
of petty and visionless politicians……[Pages 518-519]
Dhar does acknowledge the serious corruption within his own IB
and all other organizations without sullying himself personally. The
problem is one cannot work in a sewer without getting pretty dirty
yourself and come out looking clean. In the final analysis Dhar
exhorts the citizens of India to make all these agencies completely
accountable to the public rather than the current status quo of being
only accountable to the Prime Minister and Home Minister and
none else. He makes a valid point.
Though Dhar bemoans being a minor intelligence operator, he is
just a small cog in a giant wheel which actually helps the
Brahminical monsters trample and suck the blood of other smaller
vermin and ultimately all the citizens.
Maloy Krishna Dhar is in contradiction of sort; not very different
from most other typical Brahmins of modern India. If one reads all
the old Brahmin texts, from the Rig Veda to the modern day
Bhagvad Gita you will find literature from the most vile to the
sublime. Contradictions abound in the thousands, as in the same
text, holy pronouncements are found in complete contradiction to
each other. Further Brahmins do not believe based on their
religious books, in what the rest of the world considers ethical,
moral conduct based on honesty. Furthermore based on their texts
every civil and human right has been trampled upon with
absolutely no compunction. Keeping that in context it becomes
easier to understand Dhar’s mindset as to how he says different
things at different times and has a poor understanding of honest
ethical conduct. The IB is simply packed with ravenous hyenas
trading their wares to the highest bidder whenever the opportunity
arises, which happens to be a daily occurrence. The book does shed
light on the psyche, deviousness and cunning nature of the
Brahmins at the helm of power. In the end Dhar had to make
money upon retirement and what better way than to use his
experiences as a sleuth to write a potboiler novel, filled with half
baked information by which he is trying to convince the reader that
International Journal of Sikh Affairs 21(1), June 2011
it is all the gospel truth. The reader has to take his ‘truth’ with a
pinch of salt and remember too much salt will slowly kill you.

Suppression of Intellectual Dissidence and how the Left-Nehruvian Destroyed Punjab by Purushottam Kumar Nijhawan
(1997)
Reviewer: K Singh
PK Nijhawan's (PKN) last job was, the editor of the Times of India in
Bombay. Armed with a Masters degree in the Arts he set out to write an
epic poem, which according to his own peer group was acknowledged
as a monumental piece of work.
PKN is about venting out against a group of individuals through the
Indian Courts. Due to the fact that a book written by him titled “Shri
Guru Gobind Geeta” apparently (idealistically) to assuage the Sikh-
Hindu relations was plagiarized by a well connected charlatan Swami
Rama aka Brajkishore Kumar a Dhasmana Brahmin, brother-in-law
of the infamous Murli Manohar Joshi of the radical Hindu extremist
RSS/BJP. PK a Hindu of Panjabi extraction basically has opened up a
pandora's box by exposing a huge clique of academics, career civil
servants but very well connected by and large a Panjabi Hindus, some
Kashmiri Brahmins, a few Muslims and a few Sikhs who played a
very dubious role in the decision making process which culminated in
the attack on Darbar Sahib and ruined Punjab in more than one way all
based out of Chandigarh under the guise of a innocuous 'think tank'
organization called Center for Research in Rural and Industrial
Development [CRRID].
Medieval Hindus realized that Sikhs were the only Hindus here. They
made a beeline for kande bate da amrit……Amritdhari-Khalsa is the
only 'true Hindu' even today…[Page ix]
The foreword of this book is written by Gurtej Singh an eminent Sikh
of repute but there is something fundamentally wrong with his punch
line. Gurtej Singh has either has made an innocent mistake or grave
error misleading the reader to believe that Sikh Faith has anything
even remotely in common with Hinduism at any religious level.
This quote of Gurtej Singh is somewhat the same premise on which
PK has written his book or incantation called “Sri Guru Gobind
Geeta” which is a 100 page poem in prose of a dialogue between Guru
Gobind Singhji and Banda Singh Bahadur whereas Banda is being
portrayed patronizingly by PK as a Hindu [Madho Das] savior coming
to the aid of the Sikhs.
36
PKN comes out as the badly aggrieved party in his first hand
experience against his ex-colleagues who are the bad guys. But to an
unbiased reader especially a Sikh, all the characters in the book
including the author are out to grossly undermine the great Sikh ethos
with PK himself concocting a mythical dialogue between Guru
Gobind Singhji and Banda Singh Bhadur akin to the mythological
dialogue between the dark lord Krishna and Arjun the warrior. The
slight of hand done by PK is to cunningly devise a way of portraying
Banda Singh Bahadur as a Hindu savior helping Guru Gobind Singhji
to save the Sikhs and Hindus from the tyrannical Muslims. The theme
of the book, “Sri Guru Gobind Geeta”, is that Sikhs are really Hindus
and thus their bodyguards in pursuit. The Panjabi Hindu has always
been inimical towards the Sikh Faith from the very beginning and not
much has changed in over 500 years except the ones claiming to be
good guys are also out to suck the élan out of the Sikh spirit. Rare is a
Panjabi Hindu who is willing to accept the Sikh Faith as a completely
independent faith without diluting it by claiming its part of Santana
Dharma. None of the followers of Semitic faiths or the other faiths try
overtly to subvert the Sikh Faith. The north Indian Hindus, but
primarily the fanatical Panjabi Hindus have continuously tried to
openly erode and submerge the Sikh Faith into the opaque sea of so-
called Hinduism. This is a case of open racism against an egalitarian
minority Faith which has never even made the slightest attempt to
defame another faith publicly as there is no need. The North Indian
Panjabi Brahmin/Khatri/Vashyia combine are keenly aware that their
own position of power and pelf can get upset very quickly if the true
Sikh Spirit were ever to be ignited and inculcated to the teeming
underclass who are not Hindus to begin with, living under the steel
boot of diabolical dimensions created by the Manuvad puppeteers.
The self created Hindu majority through their own chicanery of the
Indian Constitution can fall apart and the same elite will become a
Hindu minority if the Sikh Faith is not reined in by submerging it into
Hinduism.
International Journal of Sikh Affairs 21(1), June 2011
Kartar Singh Duggal, one of the signatories to this statement when he
was… “We know how to handle magistrates”…..[Page 24]
A small insight into how the judiciary can be manipulated by the
powers to be primarily because they have the ear of the very top brass
of the country and secondly they are of the same caste of the rulers or
their toadies.
Swami's book Celestial Song/Gobind Geet. Interestingly, these
examples occur in two books in the same order……[Page 29]
Plagiarism is commonplace in academic circles especially in India.
The fact is very few individuals have the guts to confront their
powerful peers, superiors and rarely an outfit like CRRID. Further the
money and lengthy trials [15 years average] can break anyone.
I had written my epic in English language mainly for the Western
audiences. It was the international Sikhry, that, it appeared, was
fanning the flames of a separate Sikh State in Punjab by the name of
Khalistan, severing ties with the Hindus…….[Page 42]
Not only is PK pretty pompous, but downright bigoted and naïve
altogether. With a very shallow understanding of the Sikh Faith; an
even lesser insight of Sikh history and current events he has created a
so-called truth of his own and expects national adulations. Not to be
outdone his detractors have gone one up on him and created another
bogus band aid for Sikh-Hindu amity. The book is filled, including
PK, with a highly egotistical, educated group of fools trying to outdo
each other in gaining attention of their superiors without any
understanding and yet attaining nothing.
The Alkalis were the only untamed element in India. And those who
are aware of the history of Sikh struggle during the British times, know
quite well that repression alone does not subdue the Sikhs…...“It
happened because we of the CRRID were able to finally persuade
Mrs. Gandhi to launch the operation” [Page 65-69]
CRRID a very powerful organization headed by a Kashmiri Brahmin
P.N.Haksar who was one time the principal secretary of Indira Gandhi
and a Khatri Panjabi Hindu Rashpal Malhotra the Director of CRRID
However, between the lines what came out was that Dr.Manmohan
Singh too had come to occupy that high office mainly due to Rashpal
and Mr.Haksar……...He told me that Rashpal was consummate
operator, whose main function was to cast his net far and wide to catch
the intellectual fish…….[Page 78]
Rashpal Malhotra a very ambitious khatri Hindu of a middle class
37
family managed to from a lowly clerk for Dr. Mulk Raj Anand at
Panjab University to become a high class errand boy to Dr. Nihar
Ranjan Ray, Director of the Indian Institute of Advanced Studies
Simla. Other than helping his boss and building contacts he became
the house pimp for the visiting intellectuals. It's beyond belief as to
how so-called (academic) research organizations as CRRID have a
man heading it with barely any academic background other than a
driving ambition and scheming street smarts. Anyone familiar with
the Indian academic and political environment must acknowledge the
reality that throwing one's weight around based on one's connections
up the proverbial food chain is the norm. All fingers seem to point to
the fact that since Rashpal was a whipping boy for Indira Gandhi
therefore everyone has to be at his beck and call which can make or
break very important civil servants and others if necessary. Anyone
reading the ancient Hindu 'Artharshastra [Economics]' will not be
surprised by all the duplicity of these characters.
As already indicated CRRID was an outfit put together to keep the
Hindus and the Sikhs permanently divided, downgrade the role of the
Sikh Church in the lives of the ordinary Sikhs and fight against any
effort that made Sikhism look flowing from its mother creed which
means Hinduism……[Page 96]
The lies and half truths belie all rationality. It's hard to tell at times who
is more dishonest, PK or the folks he's accusing of dishonesty. But on
occasion the CRRID stance in part seems to make some sense.
A Sikh Geeta coming out of the sacred mouth of Guru Gobind Singh
himself could have far reaching consequences in Punjab. Nijhawan
had a design. He deliberately wrote what can be termed as the bible of
militants……That also explains why in the first place he was planted
in the United States as also who planted it. And if it is so, then it stands
to reason to assume that someone in the RAW or…….The accusing
finger then points out in the direction of Mr.P.N.Haksar who
incidentally now heads CRRID……[Page 115 & 116]
One is left to wonder which is the lesser evil, PK or Swami Rama since
both are out to get the Sikhs except in their own demented ways. It's
highly plausible that Swami Rama is a RAW agent since god-men in
India are a dime a dozen with most of the well connected and the
affluent ones are pliable government stooges. The head puppeteer
seems to be P.N.Haksar of CRRID as one of the Indian specialty is; to
infiltrate Western countries, by sending god-men to network at the
International Journal of Sikh Affairs 21(1), June 2011
upper echelons of societies abroad to be in a position where people
take you seriously and for multiple other uses, one among them being
spying on the disaffected minorities who may cause trouble in the
future.
You have a given a new reason to the Sikhs to rediscover themselves.
That Sikhism in totality is nothing but a Geeta is remarkably well
brought out. Now read it with your theory of history which upholds the
dialectics of Dharma and Adharma and you have made every Sikh a
revolutionary of Arjuna's order…..[Page 128]
The above comment apparently made by Kartar Singh Duggal in
reference to PK's 'Sri Guru Gobind Geeta' seems to belie logic. It is
clear that Duggal has neither read the AGGS or the BG thoroughly to
understand that there is nothing in common at all.
To them Akalis looked than the Muslim League of the pre-partition
days. Hence, anyone trying to promote the idea of shared Hindu-Sikh
destiny was suo motto not acceptable to them…..He did not want the
Hindus to be told that the Sikhs were in fact the protectors of Hinduism
or any Sikh be honored on that account……..[Page 141]
The Hindu mindset can be extremely hard to fathom. Reason being
that when a power elite can setup a uniquely diabolical racist system of
the most tyrannical kind and then fabricate a religious façade around
it, it goes to show the incomprehensible depth to how low they can
stoop. Therefore ethics, morals and truth have no place among their
kind.
A man with a confirmed reputation of being a high class errand boy
cannot afford to expose himself to interrogation because in the
process not only does he get actually defamed but also runs the danger
of exposing his patrons…….[Page 155]
High class errand boys still carry a lot of weight since they can do
heavy duty (dirty) work for a pittance and the only thing they need is
someone even more powerful, stroking their ego and give them the
feeling of real power. This is even truer today!
I was them rather frankly that I was a rabid Punjabi Hindu and the
non-Punjabis were vitiating the scene in Punjab as only a Punjabi
could understand where the things had gone wrong……..[Page 163]
PKN is honest for once by admitting that he is a 'rabid' Hindu.
All in all, the case is still very much where the judgment of the learned
lower court had left it. And if it is so, then one must bow to the immense
38
power and patronage that Mr.Rashpal Malhotra and the CRRID lobby
enjoy in this country……[Page 196]
This chapter is a snapshot of the typical shenanigans of the Indian
judiciary where 10-15 years is the norm and justice is bartered like in a
farmers market. The powerful literally get away with murder; case and
point are the various ethnic [Sikh] Genocides. Yet my sympathies are
with poor PK.
Recently, however, a different kind of development did take place. On
the July 22,1997 hearing, the learned Judge Mr. Sunil Gour refused to
grant any further date to the complainant's lawyer…….[Page 200]
Its commonplace for a lawsuit to drag on due to the judiciary and
lawyers playing with their clients to milk them for all their worth, not
to mention the influence peddling as in this case where the lawsuit
dragged on for more than 10 years.
A few months later I had the misfortune of meeting Dr. Balram Jhakar,
then a Union Minister, and in my opinion a thinking Punjabi
Hindu……..I presented him a copy of 'Sri Guru Gobind Geeta' almost
in a spirit of reverence. After looking at the cover-painting of Sri Guru
Gobind Singh, he looked at me as he wanted to know what it was. I said
it was written in response to the agony of Punjab by a son of Punjab.
Perhaps he took me a amiss. Then by way of reassurance he said,
“Sikhan De Watt Kad Dayan Ge”. It was a very vulgar way to say that
we would crush the Sikhs…….,[Page 206]
Some high placed Panjabi Hindus are so rabid that they can actually
cause the rabies plague. Balram Jhakar had so much venom and hatred
of the Sikhs that he is on record publicly stating, “We can eliminate
10,000 Sikh youth and the world will not even know about it”. How
true, because it actually happened many times over and there were no
consequences. There are devils in the guise of humans such as Jhakar,
a federal minister so what can be expected from the common racist
Hindu.
This book is pretty ridiculous at one level as it is the author's
frustrations of not getting anywhere because another god-man has
plagiarized his book. [On an interesting side note the god-man Swami
Rama's book got distributed by the Indian Army Educational Stores to
further brainwash the Sikh soldiers and dilute the true essence of their
Faith.] Secondly the author's own book, 'Sri Guru Gobind Geeta' is
wholly misleading as it is as inaccurate as the other fairytale stories of
the Hindus.
International Journal of Sikh Affairs 21(1), June 2011
The interesting flip side is that in all the ranting and raving, the
shocking but fascinating truth about some very elusive but important
people who were in the decision making loop in reference to ruining
Panjab is recorded by a man who really has been forced to lose his
credibility, respect and fame. He does gain at his stage in life if he wins
the lawsuit; but in the bargain lets the cat out of the bag. Anyone
interested in recent political history and who is still trying to put the
pieces of the Panjab puzzle together will find another piece to fit into
that complex puzzle. Interestingly Manmohan Singh was also a
member of the infamous CRRID organization, which vetted anyone
who were part of it for further and future promotions. Once your
conscience is co-opted you are an 'approved free agent.' No wonder
Manmohan Singh got nominated [unelected] to become India's Prime

[Kartarpur] Fw: Three weekly articles of [Dr]Amarjit Singh Washington DC. "Dr Awatar Singh Sekhon
asks a few questions"
Bhai Amarjit Singh
C-<kacwashdc@yahoo.com>
Bhai Amarjit Singh ji,
Good Day!
Regretfully, I have to say that you 'do not' deserve to use the prefix
'Dr' before your name unless you answer the following questions,
even asked before several times. It becomes necessary for you since
you have started using <kartarpur@yahoogroups.com>, in addition
to your own space in the Charhdikala weekly, published from
Vancouver, B C, Canada:
1. What degree do you have which entitles you to use the prefix of
Dr before your name. Please make it clear once and for all whether
you are a Ph D, MD, D Litt, D Law, DVM or what?
Which institution/university/country granted and entitled you to use
the prefix of 'Dr'?
2. Clear it absolutely about (i) your father's name, (ii) mother's
name, (iii) village, town or city of your birth, i. e., your birthplace,
(iv) family name, etc.
3. What is the 'status of your living in the United States of America,
although your name first surfaced in the Canadian weekly
newspapers as the 'Spokesman/spokesperson, Panthic Committee
of Dr Sohan Singh (Boparai), who is now living in Chandigarh,
PUNJAB (called Union Territory)'?
4. I believe we first met face to face, when you were coming from
the World Sikh Organization (now closed), Washington, DC, with
your friend Rajwant Singh, a Dentist by profession. At this
time, we met before or near the Press Club Building, if you recall.
5. Please correct me if I am wrong that Dr Sohan Singh, the then
Chairman, Panthic Committee of Dr Sohan Singh had asked you
'who appointed the Spokesperson of the Panthic Committee'? I
believe this information had been published in Indo-Canadian
Times of the British Columbia, while Sardar Tara Singh Hayer was
alive.
6. Until you clarify the above, no one cares what you publish
and/or write under the name of [Dr] Bhai Amarjit Singh.
39
Minister.
It is amazing that in the past 3-4 centuries; from the Sikh Gurus to their
Sikhs, they literally gave their lives in the thousands to protect these
two ethno-religious communities namely the Kashmiri Hindu
Brahmins and the Punjabi-speaking Hindus in general. Human beings
with even an iota of morality and ethics would be indebted forever for
such 'a' friendship. Instead these same “two” communities have tried
their utmost to bring about the downfall of the Sikhs in every way.
They have literally declared [moral] bankruptcy on the massive debt
to the Sikhs. The ungratefulness of these wretches; is simply
mindboggling! An intriguing book if one is trying to understand the
nature of the political Hindu mindset.
6. Until you clarify the above, no one cares what you publish
and/or write under the name of [Dr] Bhai Amarjit Singh.
7. Would you clarify whether your entry to Canada has been
bared/denied? If so, under what reasons.
8. In the title "Open Secrets' authored by an agent of Research and
Analysis, Diplomat of the alleged Indian democracy, and may be
the Acting/High Commissioner of India to Canada, Maloy K Dhar
(now retired), writes in his book that "Dr Sohan Singh was closely
associated with the Government of 'Brahmins-Hindus' alleged
Indian democracy? According to Dhar, Dr Sohan Singh was close
to the New Delhi administration of the Government of India and Dr
Singh appointed you the Spokesman of his Panthic Committee,
would you explain what was or has been your relationship with the
then Chief, Panthic Committee (of Dr Sohan Singh), asks the
writer?
Unless you, Bhai Amarjit Singh, you come out with answers to the
above questions, your writing of 'Three articles', editorials,
speaking before the Guru-di-Sangat in Gurdwaras have no
meaning, Bhai Amarjit Singh ji.
Further, we all have to work or had been working before
retirements, pay out 'tax' to the country we live in, it would be
nothing inadequate to ask you (i) what is your employment, (ii)
who is your employer, (iii) what is your business for living if you
do not have an employer(s), what is your permanent address, if you
wish to care about the information requested to you to furnish.
Your countrymen, and the Guru-di-Sangat would appreciate
hearing from you.
Charhdikala, Bhai Amarjit Singh

Sardar Swarn Singh ji,

Please forgive me if you do not like my saying that "By staying in a
'Brahmins-Hindus Congress Party of the alleged Indian democracy,
Amarinder of Patiala is abdicating his responsibilities to the 'Huse
of Baba Guru Nanak Sahib'. Going to the the Darbar of Akalpurakh
and the Supreme Seat of Sikh Polity, The Akal Takht Sahib, and
paying his visit to the Darbar Sahib Complex, is purely his personal
matter. It would be his 'biggest' mistake to expect a 'Siropao' from
the 'House of Guru Nanak Sahib. He is going there for his personal
concerns, and not to do any kindness on the Khudawand
Bakhshinda. Please correct me in my perceptions, if I am wrong,
that 'Amarinder is far more loyal to the 'Brahmins-Hindus'
Congress, including Bibi Prineet Kaur of Patiala, than the 'Guru
Khalsa Panth'. Please ask him at point blank whether he is more
loyal to his Madam Sonia Gandhi alias Sonia Maino (a Christian)
or not, than the 'House of Guru Nanak Sahib' in the areas of the

RAVEENA AULAKH of Toronto Star dated 3rd May, 2010
Staff Reporter
Thirty seconds before his Punjabi radio show ended, Gurvinder
Dhaliwal asked organizers of the Sikh New Year's parade in
Surrey, B.C., the standard wrap-up question: “Any message for the
people?”
Many know the now-infamous answer: “All are welcome except
for Ujjal Dosanjh and Dave Hayer. And if they show up, they are
responsible for their own safety.” Both Dosanjh, a Liberal MP, and
Hayer, a member of the British Columbia legislature, are Sikhs and
vocal critics of separatist extremism.
That remark and subsequent threats on Facebook sparked a heated
debate among Canada's 300,000 Sikhs, nearly half of whom live in
Ontario. Dosanjh's warning that extremism among a tiny minority
of Sikh separatists is on the rise in Canada only fanned the flames.
Bitter arguments have broken out on radio shows, online and in
ethnic newspapers.
This all comes mere weeks before the 25th anniversary of the June
23, 1985, Air India bombing — Canada's worst mass murder —
and on the heels of meetings between Indian Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh and Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Singh has
expressed concern about growing support by Canadian Sikhs for
militants in India.
Most Sikhs worldwide long ago abandoned the notion of Khalistan,
a separate Sikh state. But community leaders here acknowledge
evidence that separatism is festering in Canada, believed to have
the largest Sikh diaspora in the world. Some fear that extremist
views offering a distorted view of what happened in Punjab years
ago are influencing second-generation Sikh immigrants.
No one wants to talk openly about these suspicions, said Baldev
Mutta, executive director of Punjabi Community Health Services in
Brampton. But he has counselled worried parents, like those of an
18-year-old Brampton girl who seemed a changed person after she
attended a religious retreat near Cambridge last summer.

Political power. I can assure you either his lips will be 'tightly
closed' on your question or he will just ignore on what you have
asked to him.
Further, when we go to Gurdwara Sahib or Darbar Sahib Complex,
we go to pay our respect to the Guru, without any expectations of
'Siropao or the Robe of honour'. These are the qualities of today's
Sikh leaders' expectations under the 'slavery of the Brahmins-
Hindus'.
A Sikh, initiated or uninitiated, has to be honest to his 'Maalik,
Khasam, or his guide'. Here the guide is 'Guru Granth Sahib' and
not any Tom, Dick or Harry, like the weakling jathedars.
Sardar Sahib ji, there is no point to 'Beat around the bush', for any
Sikh. The Guru Khalsa Panth has suffered enough since 15th
August, 1947, because of the Sikh leadership of a covert Tara
Singh and his traitor buddies, and other turbaned Sikh leaders in
'The Sikh Identity'.
“She told her parents that they were bad Sikhs because they didn't
keep their hair and didn't pray every day,” said Mutta. “Within a
couple of months, the girl moved out. They haven't seen her since.”
Yudhvir Jaswal, host of the Mississauga radio show South Asian
Pulse and editor of Mid-Week News Weekly, said impressionable
youth are being led astray. “The movement is dead ... long dead in
India,” said Jaswal, who left India nine years ago. “But some
people, a very tiny minority, have kept it alive here and divided the
community.”
Others defend the diaspora's right to peacefully campaign for a
separate homeland.
“What's extremist about advocating for the self-determination of
Sikhs in India?” asked Pardeep Nagra, manager of employment
equity with the Toronto District School Board. Nagra says he
frequently has discussions about a Sikh separate state with young
people and hasn't seen any examples of “so-called religious
fanaticism.”
“I've had some phenomenal debates on (Khalistan),” said Nagra,
who last travelled to India more than 25 years ago. “It's so
enriching, so engaging.” Some call it the Kingdom of Sikhs.
The idea of creating Khalistan, an independent Sikh homeland in
India's Punjab region, has its roots in the early 20th century, but
gained momentum in the 1970s and 1980s. Growing discontent
with an uncaring and corrupt federal government fanned the flames
of Sikh nationalism and fundamentalism in Punjab.
In the early '80s, hundreds of youth took up arms in retaliation over
perceived discrimination, led by the charismatic Jarnail Singh
Bhindranwale. With his followers, he occupied the Golden Temple
in Amritsar.
In June 1984, the Indian army stormed the temple in a clash that
killed Bhindranwale and hundreds of others, including ordinary
devotees caught in the crossfire. The assassination of Indian
International Journal of Sikh Affairs 21(1), June 2011
president Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards that October
caused a violent backlash, in which mobs systematically burned
Sikh homes and businesses and killed thousands.
Between the late '70s and early '90s, thousands of Sikhs, many
involved in the push for a homeland, immigrated to the U.S.,
England and Canada.
In India, the movement for a separate state largely evaporated in
the early 1990s after it lost support of a majority of Sikhs, who
were tired of the senseless violence.
But some Sikh temples here continue to display framed photos of
Sikh extremists, including Talwinder Singh Parmar — accused of
being the mastermind behind the bombing of Air India Flight 182,
in which 329 people were killed.
At some prayer halls, saffron banners are hung proclaiming
‘Khalistan is Our Homeland.' Sikh prayers are held on birthdays of
so-called “martyrs.” It is not unusual for members of a diaspora to
be frozen in the past, said Myer Siemiatycki, a professor in
immigration settlement studies at Ryerson University.
The diaspora often has left the homeland, in part, driven out by a
sense of political unhappiness with the status quo,” he said. Though
politics change in the homeland, those who flee can harbour guilt
feelings about leaving and “develop a more extreme hardline
political outlook.”
Siemiatycki said he can also see Canadian-born Sikh youths,
particularly those struggling with a sense of identity, embracing
Sikh nationalism.
Ranjodh Singh, a 19-year-old University of Toronto student who
attended last weekend's Sikh New Year's parade, spoke to the Star
about his own pride in his heritage. “My parents' generation may
have given up on Khalistan but mine hasn't. Sikhs all over the
world want it, including those in India. We'll campaign for it
always ... peacefully, of course.”
The room is stacked with papers and books: on shelves, on the
couch, on the floor. Uday Singh, his grey beard flowing to his
chest, sits in the centre on a large white cushion and remarks: “We
will not rest until we get our land.” At 87, Singh is probably
Khalistan's oldest supporter in Canada.
A former math professor at Laurentian University in Sudbury, he
wrote the book Waning and Waxing of the Khalistan Movement,
which he believes cost him his Indian passport.
For years, he has run a weekend school in Rexdale, near the Sikh
temple, where he teaches young people Punjabi, and Sikh history
and culture. Singh, who says Sikhs have “never ebbed so low as we
do now under the cursed Hindu rule” in India, won't say what
exactly he teaches. “That's between my students and me.” Though
he says he and his wife survive on a meagre pension, he admits to
having sent money to Inderjit Singh Reyat, the only person
convicted in the Air India bombing. Singh calls him “our Nelson

Reaction of Surrey’s Mayor, Dianne Watts, Premier Gordon
Campbell of British Columbia, Ujjal Dosanjh, a Controversial
Member of Canadian Parliament (presently a Liberal but formerly
the defeated leader of the New Democratic Party of B C and the
Premier of British Columbia), and a MLA David Hayer at Surrey’s
Vaisakhi (Revelation of Khalsa) parade, showing a float of Sikh

Mandela. He is not guilty of sins that he is in jail for.”
Other alleged Sikh militants killed in India whose photos are on
temple walls are “our heroes ... If they killed some people, it's
excusable. I would kiss the earth below where the photos are
hung,” says Singh, who lives in Caledon. Singh, who immigrated in
1961, hasn't been back to India in 30 years, but says Sikhs are still
repressed there. That is why the “movement of Khalistan is still
alive. We won't rest till we get it.”
It is people like Singh who are keeping the hope of Khalistan alive
in Canada, said Gurdev Mann, president of the North York Sikh
temple.
“They are misleading youngsters and giving them wrong
information. It scares me — what they teach at these places,” said
Mann. Giving wall space to photos of alleged martyrs and
celebrating their birthdays also creates fissures in the community,
he added. “These are divisive activities.”
Harvans Jandali, president of the Ontario Sikh and Gurdwara
Council, which administers at least a dozen temples in the Toronto
area, argued the photos have been hanging on temple walls since
1984 and have no impact on people who come to worship. “But
whenever someone has tried to remove them, there has always been
a bitter fight. I like to avoid (fights).”
Photos of alleged militants at Sikh temples is a non-issue, agreed
Guelph's T. Sher Singh, co-founder of Spinning Wheel, a Sikh-
related film festival. “I have no interest in Khalistan and I don't
support it all. I've said it publicly that these people are all a bunch
of idiots ... but I will fight till the end for the right of people to be
stupid as long as they don't break the law.”
Dosanjh was savagely beaten in 1985 for speaking out against Sikh
extremism by a suspected member of the International Sikh Youth
Federation, a banned terrorist group. In an interview with the Star,
he reiterated how the “young and second generation of my
community are being trained in hate and violence. They are fed
hate, lies and fanaticism ... myths of history, not real history, and if
you do that 15,000 miles away and you have no contact with
reality, you will continue to perpetuate these myths.”
Dosanjh, who has been branded a “rat” and “scumbag traitor” on
Web postings, said the case of the Toronto 18 and Muslim
extremism should be a warning to Canadians who think talk of Sikh
nationalism is insignificant.
“If we continue like this, there will be demand for a Khalistan in
this country,” he said.
Meanwhile in Surrey, Dhaliwal, who hosts his own program on
Sher-E-Punjab radio station, still can't believe the whole brouhaha
was triggered by his show. “I never thought it would get so big,” he
said.
“I was shocked by the (parade) organizer's answer, but in my mind
there was no threat, ever. This has been blown out of proportion.”
Martyrs and raising the flag of Khalistan is not justified, but
immaturity of the politicians also.
According to CBC’s report, Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts says the
city will review the status of the annual Sikh Vaisakhi parade after
International Journal of Sikh Affairs 21(1), June 2011
a controversial float was included in the event Saturday, the 17th
April, 2010. More than 100,000 people attended the ‘Revelation of
Khalsa’ parade and festival in the Vancouver suburb, but Watts
said she was disappointed the parade included a float honoring Sikh
separatists and extremists as martyrs. What an unfortunate
statement of the Mayor of Surrey, who gets elected on the Sikh
votes also. The float featured the flag of Khalistan, the independent
Sikh state that the Sikhs want to carve out of India's Punjab state.
Mayor Dianne Watts’ statement is virtually ‘devoid’ of the history
of one of the segment of her town. The Sikhs are never cessations
or separatists, as she thinks or she has been advised to be. To
rectify her statement, she needs to interact with her one of the
largest communities of the Town of Surrey.According to Dr.
Gurmit Singh Aulakh, President of the Council of Khalistan
declared its independence from India on October 7, 1987, but the
Sikhs have been “Struggling to regain their surrendered
sovereignty, independence and political power, from the day they
surrendered their sovereignty of the ‘First Sovereign and Secular
nation of South Asia’, i. e., 14th March, 1849. In fact, India has
been occupying the Sikhs’ Holy and Historic Homeland, PUNJAB
(divided on 14/15th August, 1947), against their will by posting
more than four hundred thousand (400,000) troops to suppress and
oppress the Sikh nation, PUNJAB, since 15th August, 1947. The
photos of people shown on the float were in fact the heroes of the
Sikh Nation who were mercilessly butchered by the alleged Indian
forces, in brutal military “Operation Bluestar” of June, 1984. The
very brutal military operation is also known as ‘An Undeclared
War on the Sikh Nation, PUNJAB’. The writer feels that freedom is
a God given birth right, granted to every human being. If the Sikhs
are demanding Khalistan, because of the deceits of the Indian
administrations since 15th August, 1947, their demand is not only
genuine but justified; because the Sikhs are seeking to restore their
lost sovereignty. Instead of condemning the Indian government for
the atrocities it is committing against the Sikhs, the democratically
elected leaders listed above translate the Sikh struggle for freedom
into extremism, siding with the policies of a foreign administration
and abdicating their responsibilities from the ‘Historical Truth’.

DR SEKHON RESPONDS TO TORONTO STAR: SIKH SEPARATISTS OUT OF TOUCH WITH HOMELAND,
Tuesday, April 27, 2010, Page A-19
Whether the Canadian Sikhs, Sikh Diaspora or the Sikhs of
their Holy and Historic Homeland, PUNJAB, the Sikh Raj,
Sarkar-e-Khalsa or Khalistan (under the occupation of the
devious, divisive, deceitful, apartheid practicing 'Brahmins-
Hindus alleged Indian democracy, since 15th August, 1947) are
out of touch with their homeland, or you have the least
knowledge of the Sikh Affairs and has started writing
'sensational' opinion column in a leading newspaper of
Toronto, Canada, only the time will tell. I would, however, like
to say that you are virtually 'devoid' of the Sikh affairs. Whose
interests your writings satisfy? No one else except you know
the purpose of writing in the area in which you have the least
knowledge of the subject, as discerned by you calling the Sikhs
'separatists, extremist, etc.'I would like you to know the
following and should you disagree with me on the 'subject of
your opinion', I would look forward, with pleasure, to hear
from you.

The United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights,
adopted in 1948, in Article 19, says that:
Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this
right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to
seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media
and regardless of frontiers. Freedom of speech is the concept of the
inherent human rights to voice one's opinion publicly, without fear
of censorship or punishment, the principles which lack in the Indian
democracy since its inception. "Speech" is not limited to public
speaking and is generally taken to include other forms of
expression. The right is preserved in the United Nations Universal
Declaration of Human Rights and is granted formal recognition by
the laws of most nations.
As matter of fact, Sikhs have contributed a lot towards the
Canadian economy. They are honest, hardworking, peace loving
and law abiding people. In order to conceal the truth, the Indian
government and a handful of politicians have been spreading false
rumors about the Sikhs. Who guides them for spreading these
rumors against the Sikhs, it is anybody’s guess. The concealment
of the killing of over 250,000 Sikhs since 1984 and more than
52,000 Sikhs being held as prisoners without trial and cases,
according to a report by the Movement Against State Repression
(MASR), deliberately agitates their Sikh brothers in Canada in
particular, and outside India in general. The Canadian government
is, therefore, requested to kindly appraise the situation in the
context that Indian authorities and their missions and/or hired
hands, who have been chasing the Sikhs in Canada. This is
exponentially worse in the Indian controlled Punjab (Khalistan
under occupation since August 15th1947 the day India gained
freedom from Britain). Kirpan, not the sword, dagger or a sharp
knife, is the emblem and one of the tenets of the Sikh religion,
which is worn purely as a religious symbol by an initiated Sikh.
Besides, to celebrate Vaisakhi day is also mandatory in the Sikh
religion similarly as Christmas for Christians, Eid for the followers
of Islam or Yom Kippur for the followers of the Jewish faith.
First, please correct me if you know that the 'Brahmins-Hindus
(neither a religion nor a culture)' have been 'subservient' to the
Afghans, Mughals, Sikhs, British, Portuguese, etc., for more
than 3,500 years and they became an independent nation only,
by default, on 15th August, 1947, when the British India Empire
made them a nation, called India, the largest democracy of our
world, so to speak. You are totally ignorant that the 'First
Sovereign and Secular nation' of South Asia was the 'Sikh Raj,
Sarkar-e-Khalsa, or Punjab of a Sikh monarch Ranjit Singh,
1799 to 14th March, 1849. You must know that:
1. The Sikhs struggle to regain their surrendered Sovereignty,
Independence and Political power began on 14th March, 1849,
the very day when the Sikhs lost their sovereignty to the forces
of British Empire, by peaceful means. Would you mind to dig
up the information in the archives of The London Times, 29th
December 1929? On this day, The London Times carried the
coverage of a procession of more than 500,000 citizens of the
International Journal of Sikh Affairs 21(1), June 2011
'annexed' Punjab, from all walks of life, under the leadership of
an 'uncrowned' king of Sikhs, Baba Kharak Singh, demanding
the return of their Sikh Nation from the British Empire. The
Punjab of Sikhs was 'annexed' by the British Empire on 29th
March, 1849. The Sikhs' Punjab was 'annexed' but not
'amalgamated' to the British Empire, for the administration
purpose only. Let me tell you that the people like JL Nehru, MK
Gandhi, or other Hindus did not attract a gathering of more than
30,000 people in any rally of their so-called 'freedom struggle
for India'. What struggle for India what the word 'India' was
known to the world until 29th March, 1849?
2. During this 'annexation' of their Holy and Historic
Homeland, PUNJANB or Sikh Raj, the Sikhs fought to
preserve peace in Europe. The Sikhs of the British army lost
more than 89,000 men and had more than 109,000 injured in
the World War I & II. The people in Europe, Ieper, Belgium still
remember the Sikhs of the British Army on every
'Remembrance Day' in November of each year.
3 The Sikhs fought in the WW I & II were from the Punjab
'annexed' by the British forces. They were not from 'India' what
you call the largest democracy of our world. Until 29th March,
1849, there was no word 'India' in any dictionary and/or
encyclopedia of the English language. Since there had been no
nation on the World map or the Globe known as India, India's
'Freedom for Independence' was out of question. It was all to
distort the 'Facts of Sikh History from the Sikh point of view and
to distort the history of South Asia' by the deceitful 'Brahmins-
Hindus', later proved to the anti-Sikh forces.
On 15th August, 1947, the British Empire handed over political
power to the 'unelected' Brahmins-Hindus leadership. On this
day, the real crafting of anti-Sikh policies started by JL Nehru
and gang. On this day the citizens of the Sikh Nation, Punjab,
were 'robbed' in a wide daylight and made a 'Nation of
Landless People'. The first present from the 'Brahmins-Hindus'
masters was made within 7-week post-India's independence, i.
e., on 10th October, 1947. The Sikhs were declared 'a lawless
people' dangerous to the law-abiding Hindus (who had been
'subservient' for 3500 years). The first victim of the 'law-
abiding Brahmins-Hindus' was Sardar Kapur Singh, Indian
Civil Service, and a graduate of the Cambridge University,
UK; because a 'confidential' state circular signed by a trio (JL
Nehru, CL Trivedi and VB Patel) was revealed to the Sikhs of
the Sikh Nation, Punjab. Subsequently, the Sikhs of the
'Landless Sikh Nation' were deprived of their 'constitutional
rights'. In the 'Brahmins-Hindus' constitution in the drafts and
final form the Sikhs were made the 'long haired Hindus'. To say
it more precisely, the Sikh religion, world's
5th largest religion and culture, was 'swallowed' by the
'Brahmins-Hindus', along with the Sikh Marriage or the Anand
Marriage Act. To-date, none of the Sikhs elected
representatives has signed/accepted/endorsed the Indian
Constitution 1950, which made the 'Brahmins-Hindus' the
Republic of India. Since 15th August, 1950, the deceitful
'Brahmins-Hindus (only 3 and 10% of the total population of
1.2 billion hungry mouths)' administrations massacred the
Sikhs in 1978 in Amritsar, created a 'law and order problem' in
43
Punjab, the Landless Nation of Sikhs in the decades of 1980s
and 1990s, despite demanding the restoration of law in their
Landless Nation Punjab repeatedly, by the Sikhs' religious and
political leader, Shaheed-bilas Saint-soldier Jarnail Singh
Bhindranwale, his staunch supporters and followers,
throughout the Landless Sikh Nation Punjab, the Punjab of a
Sikh monarch Ranjit Singh. In return, these 'Brahmins-Hindus'
of India branded the Sikhs 'separatists, extremists, terrorists,
anti-nationals, anti-socials, anti-India, a lawless people, etc.
Their deceitful policies were bought by the international news
media and their democratic administrations at their face value.
This gave the impression that the Sikhs are the troublemakers
in India; whreras, the 'Brahmins-Hindus' are 'saints, peace-
doves and angels', according to the international news media,
their democratic administrations. The notorious 'Brahmins-
Hindus administration(s) of India, after robbing the Sikhs)
became masters of the Landle Nation PUNJAB', since 15th
August, 1947. What hypocrisy of these so-called peace-doves!
Following the failure of the 'Law and Order', other plans had to
be hatched to take care of the 'Landless Nation of Sikhs of
PUNJAB', as they have been becoming unbearable pain in the
necks of the 'Brahmins-Hindus', because the latter (3+9% of
the total population of the alleged Indian democracy) have
been dreaming for the 'Hindu Rashtra and/or the Brahaminstan
alias the Hindu, Hindi, Hindutav and Hindustan or Bharat. All
non-“Brahmins-Hindus” were the Hindus (neither a religion
nor a culture), regardless they were the Sikhs of the 'House of
Guru Baba Nanak Sahib' (1.9% of the total population),
followers of Islam or Muslims (13-14% of the population),
Christians (3% of population), Dalits (nearly 70% of the total
population), Buddhists (wiped out by the 'Brahmins' since
Ashoka laid his arms down), and other minorities.
Following the division of the 'Landless Nation PUNJAB, into
Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh (all had been the part
of the Landless Nation PUNJAB of Sikhs) in 1966 by Indira
Gandhi and her New Delhi administration (NDA), against the
wishes of the Sikhs. Another plan was hatched, and this was an
'undeclared' war on the Sikhs' Holy and Historic Homeland
Punjab. The Indian armed forces started moving and taking
their positions all over Punjab. Suspending all means of
communication, transportation, imposition of the curfew
round the clock. An 'undeclared' war began Punjab in the name
of a brutal military “Operation Bluestar” of June, 1984 (see 25
Years
After Assault on Durbar Sahib, Laying Foundation of
Khalistan (ed) Dr Awatar Singh Sekhon, June 2009, ISBN 0-
9548929-4-1, a publication of the London Institute of South
Asia <usmankhalid@lisauk.com>) to 'exterminate' the Sikhs
from their 'Landless Sikh Nation Punjab. This 'undeclared' war
took a toll of more than 260,000 innocent Sikhs between 1st and
7th June, 1984, including the Sikhs' political and religious
leader of the 20th century, Shaheed-Bilas Saint-soldier Jarnail
Singh Khalsa, his staunch supporters and followers from all
walks of life of the Landless Sikh Nation, PUNJAB. The
'Landless Sikh Nation, Punjab' was made a 'Concentration
Camp' in the days of “Operation Bluestar”of June, 1984. All
Sikhs were/are criminals and all Hindus-Brahmins were/are
saints (see Indian Military journal 'Baatcheet' of 1984). This
International Journal of Sikh Affairs 21(1), June 2011
has been the animosity of the 'Brahmins-Hindus and the NDA'
with the Sikhs of the Sikh Homeland (Landless Sikh Nations).
All Sikhs' institutions, the political and religious, including the
Darbar Sahib Complex (mistakenly known as the Golden
Temple Complex), including the Supreme Seat of Sikh Polity,
The Akal Takht Sahib, are under the 'Tight Control' of the
NDA, NDA'S stooges in the Punjab administration, since the
'Brahmins-Hindus devious, divisive, apartheid practicing
alleged Indian democracy waged an 'undeclared' war on the
Sikhs of the Landless Nation of the Sikhs, Punjab, i. e., since
the days of “Operation Bluestar” of June, 1984. I am of the
opinion, the Sikhs are the 'slaves' of the 'Brahmins-Hindus'
since these people 'robbed' them on 15th August, 1984.
You say, Mr Cohn, the “Sikh separatists (what separatists) out
of touch with homeland.” I do not find a remote evidence to
accept your 'headline of Opinion' published in Toronto Star,
Tuesday, April 27, 2010. The headlines of your 'opinion' are
misleading and they serve the interests of the anti-Sikh forces
in Canada and around the world, based on your opinion. With
all due respect to you and your readership, you are completely
'devoid' of the 'Facts of the History of Sikhs from the Sikh point
of view'. Let me assure you the Canadian Sikhs are the the
dreams of the Right Honourable Pierre Elliot Trudeau, his
predecessors and successors, at their hearts at large. There are
criminals in every society and the Canadian Sikhs in particular
and the Sikh Diaspora in general are not any exception to this
rule. The Canadian law is well capable to look after any
criminal element or activity. I would like to add that the two
dates have given never-ending scars and memories in the
hearts and minds of the Canadian Sikhs. These are (i) the
'undeclared' war on the 'Landless Sikh Nation, Punjab,
Khalistan and (ii) the Explosion of Air India Flight 182 of 24th
June, 1984. The midair air explosion off the western coast of
Ireland. About two-third of the ill-fated craft were the Sikhs,
let us not forget. No one but the intelligence agencies and
foreign missions personnel of the 'Brahmins-Hindus alleged
Indian democracy', in my opinion, committed both these anti-
human, criminal acts. Let me quote the teachings of the
founder of Sikh religion, Baba
Guru Nanak Sahib, in the Sikhs Holy Scripture, Guru Granth
Sahib: “Mathe Tikka Terrh Dhotti Hath Chhurri Jagat
Kasaii,” means the 'Brahmins are the Butchers of the
Humanity, according to Guru Baba Nanak Sahib'. Precisely,
what was true in the 15th and 16th centuries, has become right
in the 20th and 21st centuries.
There has been no 'free speech, expression' in the 'Brahmins-
Hindus alleged Indian democracy'. This 'democracy' for the
international news media and their administration may be
tolerable and acceptable, but for the Sikhs it is unacceptable, to
say the least. There are more than 50,000 Sikhs are in the high
security jails, without trials and cases, since June, 1984. Even
the children born in jails are 'criminals'. Do you have any law, if
you could elaborate it why the so-called democratic
44
'Brahmins-Hindus' are keeping the Sikhs and their jail-born
children in jails? Further, e-mails originating from Indian
servers and received by them are opened and read by the Indian
intelligence. I would appreciate it, if you could prove me
wrong or correct me in this regard. In fact, I remember a song of
the Western music industry, “This is the strange, strange
world, Master Jack,” of 1960s.
I would like to ask you, Mr Cohn, as you have been to the
'Landless Sikh Nation, Punjab', as it appears from your article
that you had discussions with Manjit Singh Calcutta, Vedanti
Joginder Singh Saran, etc. Did you require Visa to visit the
Landless Sikh Nation from the Toronto mission of the alleged
Indian democracy, or any authority of the 'Landless Sikh
Nation, Punjab' of the Sikhs? For you, it may not matter at all to
take 'Brahmins-Hindus' Visa to visit the Sikh nation Punjab.
However, it means a lot to the Sikhs, including the writer, to
vist the 'Sikhs' Holy and Historic Homeland, PUNJAB, with
the VISA endorsed by the enemy of the Sikhs. Why I should
make my Canadian passport available to the deceitful and
apartheid practicing 'Brahmins-Hindus' alleged Indian
democracy? I know it perfectly well that my 'Historic
Homeland and religious institutions are under the 'Occupation
and Tight Control' of the enemies. The enemies of the Sikhs
and their Holy and Historic Homeland. The 'Butchers of
Humanity'! Would you dare to ask this question to the
occupants of the Landless Sikh nation, Punjab, since 15th
August, 1947? Sikhs are Sikhs, none else but the Sikhs,
according to the Sikhs' Holy Scripture, Guru Granth Sahib.
Your contacts like Manjit Calcutta, Vedanti Joginder Singh
Saran (deposed by a Reseach and Analysis Wing's person,
Prakash Sinh Badal, the traitor of the 'House of Guru Nanak
Sahib alias Punjab of Sikhs) are the stooges of the 'Brahmins-
Hindus' of the NDA. Simply to hang on to his political power.
How would they speak against their 'Brahmins-Hindus'
masters of the NDA? Further, if you know it or not, but let me
tell you the princely States of Faridkot in Punjab, Bikaner in
Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh (formerly Hyderabad) have not
signed the 'Document of Accession' to the 'Brahmins-Hindus
alleged India state'.
According to the Honourable Dana Rohrabaker, Congessman
of the United States, as for as the Sikhs, Muslims and other
minorities are concerned, India is a 'Nazi Germany' for them.
India is a 'Police State', according to a Congressman of the
Congress of the United States of America.
As Guru Baba Nanak Sahib said, “Sikhs are Sikhs, none else
but the Sikhs,” why should we, the Sikhs have any relations
with the 'Brahmins-Hindus of the deceitful and apartheid
practicing alleged Indian democracy? The Sikhs have to take
guidance from the teachings of their Gurus, inscribed in Guru
Granth Sahib, and not from any Tom, Dick or Harry, like the
'Brahmins-Hindus of the alleged Indian democracy. The Indian
intelligence personnel and their hired-hands have penetrated
our Gurdwaras, Mr Cohn, since 1980s. If you do not see that, it
is your problem, Mr Cohn.
