Gurfateh!

A moving extract. Thank you for that.

I think it is true that we in the Sikh community haven't enough to establish non-governmental programs to help the future generations of Sikh Delhiites.

What strikes me about the extract you quoted is that these widows are asking for neither revenge nor reparations. They want to forget the past. All they want is a future for their children, and their childrens' children.

Sikhs who are outraged by proxy often come across as infantile. Their biggest grievance seems to be that their communal pride has been insulted and they need to seek revenge. And in an effort to put a face to their anger, they turn to the softest target. The lowest hanging fruit.

Unfortunately, the target they've chosen is also the man who currently carries the honour of the entire Sikh community on his head.

Anger gives us the illusion of purpose and satisfaction. But, in truth, it is blinding. And it leads us down a dark path that will lead only to more anger, more death, more destruction.

It's best to let go and move forward. Like the survivors of 1984. Like Dr. Manmohan Singh and his family.

Please bear in mind that i am not advocating for anyone here... no matter how we Sikhs would go on maligning Dr. Manmohan Singh but presently, he remains the Face of Sikhs to a worldwide audience.

Which audience you are talking about ,the handful of intelectuals which are interested in politics,The majority of people all over the world hardly care who is the president or PM of which country ,which Religion that person follow etc.Just ask any Indian who is PM of UK ,germany,Australia , newzealand ,Uganda or even Sri lanka.majority of them just nod their head.To be honest at this point I even don't know who is president of China,which religion he follows .

Restore the image of Sikhs being tagged as terrorists by the Indian media in 80s-90s

Manmohan singh was also in early 90s What image he restored then?The fact is that from 9/11
the focus shifted on islamic terrorism and with death of Khalistan movement there was no reason for Indian media to focus.BTW except in few Indian movies and in TV serials the image of sikhs haven't changed they are shown still as jokers ,truck drivers etc.

If in western countries, there is any awareness about Sikhs as most progressive people then the most of the credit would go to him. Given the choice, whom would you choose as your Face of Sikhs presently to a worldwide audience?

He was selected as PM in 2004 is there any reduction in hate crimes against sikhs?As far choosing a face is concerned I am sorry to say but sikh community cannot rely on one man.
Manmohan singh is already near 80 so from 10 from now there will be no Manmohan then what will sikh community will do

Do you think a country with diverse religious & cultural backgrounds of 100 million can be run for 7-8 years by a person, who is only a Yes Man? It is very easy to focus on the negative points.

Obviously in congress only Yes mam type of people are selected for top to bottom level posts.Just look at Following Adarsh society scam Sonia asked Ashok Chavan to resign
and he resigned without hesistation ,on the other hand BJP asked yedurappa to resign ,he became rebelious even threatened the top level leaders.So the score was congress 1 BJP 0
as BJP lost face

If SGPC, the richest Sikh body could not do anything for the 1984 victims in all these years then what could we expect from someone else?

Coming back to my last message:

It was duty of DSGMC not SGPC as DSGMC is no less rich than SGPC .SGPC should be criticised for not taking care of sikhs in PUnjab ,but in Delhi DSGMC is responsible,but they alligned with the congress and sold their souls

Again I am quite surprised what you are saying.Please watch this part of documentry they are clearly saying we just want justice .We don't need food we don't need clothes are the words of these widos yet you are saying they want to forget past and move on and please let me clarify no sikh have ever asked for revenge ,justice and revenge are 2 different things.

Could you please tell us how Manmohan singh is carrying the honour of entire sikh community? Just because he is very highly educated,highly successful in his career and Pm of India ,does it mean he is carrying Honour of entire sikh community? .If tommorow Manmohan singh do something terribly wrong then does it mean that entire Sikh community is going to be dishonoured?

Thank you Kanwardeep Singh Ji,
This is very informative, I have seen some other videos from the same site and it is hurtful to see, a group, I would just call congress a group, they have no right to call themselves a democratic political party. It is an insestutous family protecting each other.

It would also seem that Dr. Manmohan Singh is being used as a 'puppet spearhead'.
However as someone has already mentioned - that helps our Sikh image in the world - so I am thankful for that.

I have not yet come across any human rights involvement in this case - does anybody know if anything has been started or going on.
I think just because we have a sikh PM should not stop the community to demand justice even if he is 'lip bound' by congress.
